Staking

Deposit USDC to back your chosen faction. Your stake counts toward your faction's TVL.

Epochs (7 Days)

Weekly game cycles:

• Days 1-2: Deposit Phase — stake and strategize

• Days 3-7: Lock Phase — yield is generated

Yield

Generated from the total pool via DeFi lending during the 5-day lock phase. Winner faction claims 100%.

No-Loss

Your principal (deposited USDC) is always safe. You only risk missing out on yield.
