How it works

Bet against the coin. The coin bets back.

GameStop lets you $GME with SOL. There’s no borrowing and no leverage. You put SOL down, and the price decides where it goes: back to you with a profit, or into buys of $GME that get .

What happens to your SOL

No smart contract to trust yet, and nothing hidden. One public wallet and a bot that follows the rules.

  1. 1

    You send SOL to the GameStop wallet

    Pressing Short sends your stake to one public wallet. That SOL is your short. Anyone can see the deposit on Solscan.

  2. 2

    The bot logs your short

    It records your wallet, your stake, your price and your liquidation line, then posts the line on the ladder for everyone to see.

  3. 3a

    You’re right: the bot pays you

    Close after the price drops and the bot sends back your stake plus the profit. The profit comes out of the , a public SOL wallet we fund.

  4. 3b

    You’re wrong: the wallet keeps it

    The part you lost stays in the wallet. The bot spends it buying $GME on the chart and those coins for 2 weeks, then they go to the dev. Liquidated? All of it goes to buys.

Example: you send 1 SOL. The price drops 30% and you close: the bot sends you 1.3 SOL. Or the price rises 50% and you close: you get 0.5 SOL back, and the other 0.5 SOL buys $GME, which gets locked.

Two ways to play

Shorters

You think it’s going down

Stake SOL: up to 1 SOL to start, more as the coin grows. If $GME drops, pays you the drop, up to 2x your stake. If it doubles, you’re and your SOL buys $GME.

  • Most you can lose: your stake
  • Most you can win: 2x your stake
  • Close any time after 10 minutes
Holders

You think it’s going up

Every short’s liquidation line is public. Buy enough to reach one and that short’s SOL buys more $GME. That pushes the price up again and can set off a .

  • Every liquidation line is on the ladder
  • The site shows the SOL needed to reach the next one
  • Losing shorts end up as buys of the coin

Bigger coin, bigger shorts

Your wallet’s limit grows with the market cap. One short can also never take more than 10% of the room left, so a crowd shares the vault instead of the first few filling it. Drag the market cap, pick a vault size, and see what the vault would owe if a crowd got it right.

The vault

Vault holds

The vault is SOL the team puts in, not trading fees. Its balance is public on the board.

Biggest first short
1.00 SOL10% of the room, or your limit if that’s smaller

What if a crowd shorts it?

Each shorts · 7.0 SOL
They want to short700.0 SOL
The vault holds10.0 SOL

22 of 100 people get in

First short 1.00 SOL · middle 0.31 SOL · last 0.11 SOL. Each takes at most 10% of the room left, so later shorts are smaller.

The vault pays out
4.5 SOL$676
Vault left after paying
5.5 SOL$824

Without room-to-short, the vault would owe 350.0 SOL and come up 340.0 SOL short. Room-to-short only lets in what the vault can pay, so it never comes up short.

If it doubles instead, all 22 get liquidated and 9.0 SOL buys $GME: about 0.3% of the market cap, all of it locked.

Where the SOL goes

Tap any box.

When shorts win
When shorts lose

The engine market-buys $GME on the coin’s own pool. Buying lifts the price.

A short, start to finish

  1. Open

    You stake SOL

    Your is the live price. Your liquidation line, +100% above it, goes on the public ladder straight away.

  2. Hold

    The clock runs

    You pay a of 1% a day into the vault. You can’t close for the first 10 minutes.

  3. Close

    You take your result

    Closing settles on the over the last 5 minutes. A drop is paid by the vault. A rise buys $GME.

  4. Or

    The price gets there first

    If the reaches your line, you’re liquidated on the spot. Your stake buys $GME, and the engine checks the next line.

Questions

Who am I betting against?

The vault, and the holders who want to squeeze you. When you win, the vault pays you. When you lose, your SOL buys $GME on the chart, and those coins get for 2 weeks before going to the dev.

Can I lose more than my stake?

No. Shorts are 1x. The worst case is liquidation, and that costs exactly your stake.

What’s the most I can win?

2x your stake, if $GME goes to zero. A 30% drop pays 30% on top of your stake.

What if the vault runs out?

It can’t owe more than it holds. A new short only opens if the vault already has the SOL to pay it in full. When it’s full, new shorts wait until the vault is topped up or someone closes.

Why did a quick spike liquidate me?

Liquidation checks the live price after every trade, so cascades happen instantly. A wick counts. Size your short knowing that.

Why can’t I close in the first 10 minutes?

So nobody can open a short, dump the coin themselves and close straight away. The hold plus the 5-minute average makes that trade pointless.

Why does my limit change?

Two things set it, and the smaller wins. One short can be at most 10% of the room left in the vault, so it shrinks when lots of people are short and grows back as the vault is topped up or shorts close. And your wallet’s total grows with the market cap: 1 SOL up to $50k, about 12.7 SOL at $1M, 50 SOL at most.

Can a whale liquidate everyone on purpose?

They can try, and they’ll have to buy a lot of $GME to do it. Every line is public on purpose. Room-to-short caps how much SOL can be shorted in total, so the damage stays within what the vault holds.

Where is my SOL while the short is open?

In a custodial wallet the GameStop engine controls. Every movement shows up in the Activity tab. An on-chain program replaces it after an audit.

Is the chart real?

Yes. The chart shows live candles from the pool, and every short, liquidation line and locked coin on the board comes straight from the engine in real time. Before launch the board stays empty.
