Earnings & Referral FAQs

Everything you need to know about gameplay rewards, referrals, security, and transparency.

Getting Started & Gameplay

  • Q1. How do I start playing?

    Connect your Web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.), pay 1 USDT entry fee, and wait for the next scheduled game. Lobby opens 3 minutes before game time.

  • Q2. When do games start?

    Games run every hour on the hour: 12:00 AM, 1:00 AM, 2:00 AM, etc. (24 sessions per day). Registration closes 2 minutes before start.

  • Q3. How long does each game last?

    Each game has 10 questions with 10 seconds per question = ~2 minutes total gameplay. Plus time for registration and results.

  • Q4. What type of questions are asked?

    Multiple-choice trivia questions (A, B, C, D) covering general knowledge, crypto, pop culture, science, and more. Questions vary each session.

  • Q5. Can I see the questions before the game?

    No. Questions are delivered off-chain and protected before the game. Only the correct answers are pre-committed on-chain as hashes for fairness, then revealed after the deadline. No one can see them early.

  • Q6. What happens if I disconnect during a game?

    Your submitted answers are saved on-chain. If you disconnect before submitting an answer, that question counts as wrong. Reconnect quickly to continue.

  • Q7. What if I miss answering a question?

    If time expires (10 seconds), it counts as incorrect. All questions must be answered or time out to complete the game.

  • Q8. Can I see other players during the game?

    You can see the player count, but not individual players or their answers. Answers are hidden (committed) until after the game for fairness.

  • Q9. Is there a minimum number of players to start?

    Yes. Minimum of 5 players are required to auto-start. This requirement is enforced by the lobby/orchestrator (backend), not by the smart contract.

  • Q10. Is there a maximum number of players?

    Yes, 1,000 players per game. This is a smart contract limit to ensure gas efficiency and smooth gameplay.

  • Q11. Can I play multiple times per day?

    Yes! You can play all 24 sessions per day (every hour) on each chain. Each entry costs 1 USDT/USDC.

  • Q12. Can I play on mobile?

    Yes! The game works on mobile browsers with Web3 wallet support (MetaMask mobile, Trust Wallet, etc.). Responsive design for all screens.

  • Q13. Which wallets are supported?

    Any Web3 wallet: MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, Rainbow, etc. Must support the chain you're playing on.

  • Q14. What if no one scores 10/10?

    Winners are still the top 23% ranked by score (9/10, 8/10, etc.) and speed. The 70% winners' share is distributed among them.

  • Q15. Can I get a refund if I don't play?

    Yes, if the game is cancelled or you registered but the game didn't start, you can claim a refund on-chain after the deadline.

  • Q16. How do I test on Arbitrum Sepolia and get USDT?

    1) Switch your wallet network to Arbitrum Sepolia (chain ID 421614). 2) Import the test USDT token at 0x5976EFa5Bec250546093b30f122ef1F2e6B69d53 (MetaMask → Assets → Import Token → Custom). 3) Grab a small amount of Arbitrum Sepolia ETH from the official faucet (e.g. https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/arbitrum-sepolia) to cover gas. 4) Join our Telegram test channel for admin-minted USDT drops: https://t.me/cryptoquizzes. Admins periodically mint and share tokens with new testers.

Earnings & Prizes

  • Q17. How exactly do I earn?

    Pay 1 USDT/USDC to enter, answer 10 questions, finish in the top 23% by score and speed. Winners split 70% of the total pool, ranked by performance.

  • Q18. How are winners chosen?

    By score first, then total time as a tie-breaker. Perfect scores (10/10) rank by fastest overall time.

  • Q19. What's the prize budget per game?

    70% of the total entry pool goes to winners (the "winners' share").

  • Q20. How many people can win?

    Up to 23% of participants per game.

  • Q21. What's the max prize per winner?

    Up to 3 USDT per winner (for perfect 10/10), subject to the winners' budget and rank.

  • Q22. Can lower scores earn something?

    Yes—if fewer than 23% achieve 10/10, the system can reward lower scores within the same 70% winners' budget (ranked by score, then time).

  • Q23. How are prizes distributed exactly?

    Winners are ranked by score, then speed. Rank 1 gets the most, rank 2 gets less, etc. All winners share the 70% pool proportionally based on rank.

  • Q24. When can I claim my prize?

    Immediately after the game ends and winners are finalized. Claims are instant, on-chain, in the same token you paid with (USDT/USDC).

  • Q25. How often are games?

    24 sessions per day (every hour). Session counts are per chain.

  • Q26. Which tokens and chains are supported?

    USDT/USDC on Arbitrum, BSC, Base (Ethereum mainnet excluded for gas efficiency). Pools and claims are per chain. (No DAI support for now.)

  • Q27. How do I claim prizes?

    Winners claim on-chain in the same stablecoin and on the same chain they played.

  • Q28. Do I need different tokens on different chains?

    Yes. If playing on Arbitrum, you need USDT/USDC on Arbitrum. If playing on BSC, you need USDT/USDC on BSC. Chains don't share balances.

  • Q29. Any gas tips?

    Gas is low on Arbitrum/BSC/Base. For small amounts, you may wish to batch claims (e.g., wait until ≥1 USDT) to save gas.

Referrals

  • Q30. Is there a referral program?

    Yes—two-sided, on-chain, ongoing. Both the referrer and the referred earn as the referred keeps playing.

  • Q31. How much goes to referrals overall?

    Referral rewards are 30% of the platform’s 30% fee = 9% of the pool (cap), and are only paid on referred entries.

  • Q32. What do I (referrer) earn per referred play?

    Default split 2:1 (referrer:referred) from that 9%: Referrer earns 0.06 USDT per 1 USDT referred entry, and the Referred earns 0.03 USDT per 1 USDT entry.

  • Q33. Does the referred user earn too?

    Yes. The referred player accrues 0.03 USDT per 1 USDT entry (on-chain), usable across sessions.

  • Q34. How do referrals accrue and pay out?

    Rewards accrue on-chain each time the referred user plays. Anyone can claim anytime in the session’s stablecoin on the same chain. (Tip: batch claims for gas efficiency.)

  • Q35. How do I set my referrer?

    On your first join, include your referrer’s wallet address (or short code). It’s immutable after it’s set.

  • Q36. Can I refer myself or change referrers later?

    No. Self-referrals are blocked, and referrers cannot be changed after first join.

  • Q37. What can I earn with 100 referrals?

    Per referred user, per month (30 days), if they play every session on one chain (360 games): You (referrer) earn 21.60 USDT, and they (referred) earn 10.80 USDT. This scales with the number of referrals and their play rate.

  • Q38. Do referrals work across chains?

    Yes, but earnings accrue per chain. If your referee plays on BSC, you earn on BSC; if they switch to Arbitrum, you earn on Arbitrum, etc.

  • Q39. Are there caps or anti-abuse rules?

    Yes. One referrer per wallet (set once), no self-referral, on-chain auditing, and optional fair-use limits may apply to deter spam/Sybil activity.

Security & Transparency

  • Q40. Is everything verifiable on-chain?

    Yes. Entry fees, prize claims, and referral accruals are recorded on-chain. Correct answers are pre-committed (hashed/Merkle) on-chain before each game for fairness.

  • Q41. When are fees taken?

    The platform receives 30% of the pool. Up to 9% (of the pool) funds referrals on referred entries; 21% remains as net platform margin.

  • Q42. How does the commit-reveal system work?

    When you submit answers, they're hashed (hidden) on-chain during the game. After the deadline, you reveal your real answers. This prevents cheating by copying others.

  • Q43. Can the platform cheat or change answers?

    No. Correct answers are committed on-chain before each game (hashed). They cannot be changed. Anyone can verify the hash matches the revealed answers.

  • Q44. What if the platform goes down mid-game?

    Your answers are on-chain. The smart contract continues running. You can claim refunds or prizes directly through the contract if needed.

  • Q45. Taxes & compliance?

    Players are responsible for their local tax and reporting obligations. Availability may vary by jurisdiction.
