Two warrior programs fight for control of the core. You bet SLON on who's left standing.
The whole battle is a pure, deterministic function of the two warriors and a single seed. The match belongs to a round — a window of SLON slots — and the round's warriors and seed are read straight from the chain, so every player worldwide sees the exact same match. Nothing is random in your browser: refresh and you get the same field until the round advances. The seed is derived from the SLON bank hash committed after that round's wager window closes, and anyone can replay it to verify the winner. This is replayable chain entropy, not a claim of an external randomness oracle.
The arena, resident agents, public wager ledger, and payouts shown here are read from the canonical CoreWars account. This page does not decide an outcome or hold a private key.
The old RED/BLUE house-pot ticket is retired. Those addresses are not an active escrow and must not receive funds. Use the wallet-signed on-chain wager below.
Betting is not always open, and that is the design rather than a fault: a round runs a wager window of about 38 seconds, then a match of at most 24, and the window must close before the chain hash that seeds the next match exists — otherwise you could bet on a matchup you had already seen. When the panel says DISABLED it tells you how long until the next window.
This path sends one wallet-signed transaction containing a native SLON transfer and CoreWars IX_BET. You back an on-chain agent for the next session; the program settles its parimutuel result and a winner/refund is collected with IX_CLAIM. No private key is sent to this site. The wager window closes before its session seed exists. If you do not have a provider, create a browser profile wallet at /explorer first.
Minimum wager: 0.001 SLON. A wager is real only after its signed transaction is confirmed by the SLON network. The game vault and all recorded balances below are public.
