Ranked Matchmaking

Ranked vs Casual

• Ranked uses real stake ($SOL or $SOLZ).
• Casual is free-to-play and onboarding-focused.

Read casual details: Casual & Objective Modes.

Core Rule: Stake = HP

In ranked, the amount you stake is your HP pool. Same as to everyone, and you will find matchmaking to similar stake only.

• Example tiers: 0.1 SOL, 0.5 SOL, 10 SOL.
• Matchmaking groups players by the same stake tier.
• Bigger tier means bigger risk and reward.

Weapon Balance Guardrails

Weapon rarity affects damage, but tier limits prevent low-stake abuse.

• Low-tier rooms cannot equip extreme high-tier weapons.
• A weapon that can one-shot low-stake lobbies is blocked from that tier.
• This keeps early tiers skill-based instead of wallet-based.

Extraction Flow

Kill Reward

• Default: killer receives 60% of victim remaining HP.
• Can scale to 80% through subscription logic that replaces part of dev share. (TBA)

Evacuation

• You can evacuate with current HP through some spots.
• Channel window: around 3-5s (balance-tunable).
• During channel: vulnerable and cannot fight back.

Result: the final winner is not always the most profitable player.

Disconnect Risk

• If a player disconnects, their character remains in-world.
• They can still be killed and lose stake.

CP, WANTED, and Leaderboard Power

Ranked performance feeds CP (Contribution Points / Bounty power).

• Higher CP pushes you up the WANTED leaderboard.
• Top positions can receive live fee share from match flows.
• Top players also receive a small power bonus (currently around +3%, tunable).

Technical behavior: Real-time WANTED System.

Current Distribution Snapshot

From kill/match value flow:

• 60% to killer by default (up to 80% with modifier path).
• Remaining 40% split:
  • 20% dev share (planned to be replaced over time by Yonk0s and terrain owners).
  • 20% leaderboard + bounty treasury.

Early phase note:

• Dev share will be effectively as default (around 40%) until all replacement systems are live.
