How it works

1. Your wallet is a fighter

$GLADIATOR is a pump.fun token. Every wallet that holds at least $150 of it at the live price (Jupiter quote) has a fighter. There is nothing to register: the service reads every holder of the mint once a minute and the token's trade feed every few seconds, so a buy shows up within seconds and a fighter appears from the next round.

Name and look come from the wallet: the class from your stats, colors, headgear and weapon from a hash of the address. The name is picked once and stays, also after a death and a revive.

Sell below the threshold and the fighter falls: it leaves the arena at the next round and gets a grave in the Hall of the Fallen with its record. Buy back in and it rises again under the same name, streak back at 0.

2. Stats from your own trades

Stats come from the wallet's pump.fun and PumpSwap trades of the last 60 days (up to 1,000 transactions). Closed positions worth at least 0.05 SOL count. A win is a position closed at +5% or better, a loss at -5% or worse. Every stat is an honest 0 to 100; with little history the formulas pull toward the middle instead of guessing.

Fewer than 5 closed positions = recruit: same formulas, a recruit sprite, the Brawler class. In a fight every stat is clamped to 15..85 so extremes cannot stack; the page still shows the honest number.

3. Six classes

Checked in this order, the first match wins:

4. The fight

Rounds last 30 s. At the start of a round the roster freezes: everyone at or above the threshold with stats as of that moment. Fighters are shuffled into pits of up to 16 by sha256(seed | wallet); a pit with fewer than 6 is filled with ghosts of the fallen (no rewards, no streak) or sparring shades at 50/50/50/50, so a fight is always running, even with one holder.

In a pit, fighters walk to random points (faster with SPEED) and two free fighters within reach start a duel. Attacks run on timers until one drops to 0 HP; a duel cut by the end of the round goes to the one with more HP.

A win adds 1 to your streak, a loss sets it to 0. Losing takes nothing else. Measured over 40,000 duels: equal fighters win 50.2%, one maxed stat against an average fighter wins about 59%, the best possible build against the worst wins 90.5%.

5. Every fight is replayable

The seed of a round is sha256("glad1|" + round + "|" + blockhash + "|" + roster_hash). The block comes after the roster froze, so nobody can arrange a pit in advance. The fight engine is deterministic (integer timers, damage in thousandths of HP, its own sha256 and xoshiro128** generator) and this page runs the exact same file as the server.

Your browser replays every pit of the round and compares its event hash with the server's: the arena screen says VERIFIED when they match. Past rounds are public at /api/round/<r>. When the block hash could not be read the round says beacon: chained and the seed falls back to the previous seed; that is visible per round.

6. Rewards: real creator fees in SOL

The token's creator wallet collects the pump.fun creator fee (0.30% on the curve; on PumpSwap 0.30% to 0.95% by market cap) every 5 min. Each collect is split three ways: 75% to the fighters' pool, 20% to infrastructure (the name model, chain reads, transaction gas) and 5% to the owner wallet. Only the lamports that a collect transaction actually moved are booked; donations to the wallet are not counted.

Each round, 1/20 of the undistributed pool is booked to fighters by weight:

weight = B_eff x (0.5 + 0.2 x min(streak, 10))

B_eff is your lowest balance over the last 6 hours, so buying just before a payout earns nothing. Weight is linear in balance, so splitting a bag across wallets gains nothing. Payouts go out as plain SOL transfers, 20 per transaction, every 10 min for every wallet with at least 0.002 SOL booked. A fallen fighter's unpaid rest is still paid; after 30 days it returns to the pool, never to the owner.

No token rewards, no APY. With few holders the money is small, and that is the honest number.

7. Parameters

Live values from the service (/api/rules). Each one has fixed bounds; a value outside them refuses to start.

8. Abuse, and what stops it

9. What you trust

The service is a counter and it is open; the creator key lives on the server, and the payout float is never more than a few minutes of flow.

• The service computes rosters, stats and the ledger. Every number is public through the API with the formulas above.
• It cannot pay out more than came in: before each payout cycle it checks that the pool equals booked plus undistributed, that no wallet is paid beyond its booked amount and that the wallet balance covers every unpaid line. Any mismatch halts payouts.
• It cannot pick a fight result: the seed uses a block that comes after the roster froze.
• It can delay payouts or get a stat wrong. It cannot hide your fighter: masking takes your wallet's signature.
• The creator key is hot on the server. A leak loses at most about 10 minutes of fees plus a 0.05 SOL gas float; the rest waits in pump.fun's creator vault.
• Platform risk: pump.fun can reassign a coin's creator (set_creator / admin takeover), which would redirect the fees.
• Admin powers: the exclusion list, parameters inside their bounds, and a pause that stops payouts only (booked amounts are kept). The admin never takes fighters' money: only the infra and owner shares leave the pool at collect time.
