How does a Crash round work?
- A new round opens. The backend creates the round on-chain. Once the round account is confirmed, betting opens.
- You place your bet. During the betting window you choose your stake and, optionally, an auto cash-out target. Once the round has its first confirmed bets, a countdown starts so everyone else can join.
- Betting closes. When the countdown ends (plus a short grace window for last-second bets), no more bets are accepted and the start transaction is sent on-chain.
- The curve climbs. The multiplier starts at 1.00× and grows continuously. You can cash out manually at any moment while it’s climbing.
- Crash. The curve stops at the round’s crash point. Bets still in the round at that moment are lost. The secret behind the crash point is revealed on-chain.
- Payouts. Every bet in the round is settled on-chain in a single payout pass: winners are paid at their cash-out multiplier, and the round is archived. A new round begins right away.
Round lifecycle
The diagram below shows the real round state machine, simplified to the phases you experience as a player: If a round is cancelled (for example after a blockchain error), it is voided and a fresh round starts. Bets queued for the next round are cleared when this happens; you’ll need to place them again.How fast does the multiplier grow?
The displayed multiplier is a pure function of time since the round started:
The crash point itself is not time-based: it is fixed before the round starts, from a secret the operator commits on-chain plus a blockhash produced by the Solana network, with the house edge applied in the derivation. The curve is just the animation that walks up to it. See Crash fairness for how to verify any round yourself, and Fees & limits for the current house edge.
How do you cash out?
There are two ways to lock in a win:- Manual cash-out. Press the cash-out button while the round is running. The server computes your multiplier from the exact time your request is received, not from what your screen shows, so a laggy connection can cost you a few hundredths.
- Auto cash-out. Set a target multiplier when you place the bet. If the round reaches your target and you haven’t cashed out manually before that, you are settled at exactly your target.
- A manual cash-out takes precedence over your auto cash-out target. If you press the button at 1.50× with an auto target of 3.00×, you settle at 1.50×.
- The minimum cash-out multiplier is 1.01× (the on-chain minimum).
- A cash-out at or above the crash point is rejected: you cannot cash out of a round that has already crashed.
- Each bet can only cash out once.
- If the round crashes before your auto target and you never cashed out manually, the bet is lost.
Fairness and limits
- The crash point is provably fair: committed before betting opens, revealed on-chain at crash, and verifiable by anyone. Full details and a step-by-step verification guide in Crash fairness and Verify a round.
- Minimum and maximum bet sizes, maximum profit per bet, and the current house edge are listed in Game limits and Fees & limits.
