Duels

Duels are direct competitive matches between two sides. A side may be a single player or a team, depending on the game and mode.

Duel Lifecycle

  1. A duel is created with game, rules, entry requirements, and reward settings.
  2. Another player or team accepts the duel.
  3. The required payment or wallet signature is completed if the duel is paid.
  4. The match starts.
  5. The result is verified.
  6. The winner receives or claims the reward.

Paid Duels

In a paid duel, funds may be held until the match is resolved. The product should clearly show the entry fee, token, opponent, game mode, and deadline before the user accepts.

Cancelled Duels

A duel may be cancelled if it is not accepted, if a required action is not completed, or if the platform determines that the match cannot proceed under the rules.

Refund eligibility depends on whether funds were paid, whether the match started, and whether cancellation was caused by user action, timeout, or platform failure.
