FAQ
Short answers. The other docs pages have the detail.
01Does it cost anything to start a battle?
No. Tagging @ratioed is free, and the creator earns a share of the pot if the battle settles with a winner.
02Can I bet on a battle my own post is in?
No. If you wrote the ORIGINAL or the REPLY, the server won't co-sign your bets on that battle. You can still create battles between other people.
03Why do I need both X and a wallet?
X identifies you so authors can't bet on themselves and one person can't pose as many. The wallet holds your SOL and signs your bets and claims. We never hold your funds.
04Can I sell my shares or cancel a bet?
No. Bets are buy-only and final. Shares can't be sold or transferred; they only decide your slice of the pot.
05What are the limits?
Minimum bet 0.01 SOL. Up to 5 SOL per wallet per side per battle, and 100 SOL per battle in total during the beta. Betting locks at 22h.
06What happens on a tie?
If the final score is within ±0.5% of 50/50, the battle voids and everyone gets 100% of their SOL back, no fees.
07Someone is buying likes. What now?
Unusual bursts and likes without matching views raise a spike flag. Flagged battles are held for a human to review before anything is paid out. They can be settled normally or voided with full refunds.
08One side has no bets. What happens?
If either side has no shares when the battle settles, it voids and everyone is refunded in full.
09When can I claim?
As soon as the battle settles, about 24h after it started. Claim within 30 days.
10My post was battled and I don't want that.
DM @ratioed or email us (see the privacy page) to be added to the opt-out list. New battles involving you will be skipped, and you can ask for a running battle to be voided.
11Is my betting history public?
Yes. Bets and claims are Solana transactions anyone can read. If you link a wallet to your X account, Ratioed shows that handle next to the wallet's activity.
12Is Ratioed affiliated with X?
No. Ratioed uses X's public data and API but isn't endorsed by or affiliated with X Corp.
13Where am I not allowed to use Ratioed?
You must be 18+ and not in a restricted region. Betting is blocked from restricted regions, and you're responsible for following your local laws. See the Terms.
