One race. The better percentage performance wins. Crypto Duels pit major cryptocurrencies head-to-head in a live race. Pick the coin you think will perform better from start to finish. It doesn’t matter whether it goes up or down, only which one performs better relative to the other. ### How Crypto Duels Work Each duel follows a simple cycle: 1\. Trading opens A new duel opens every minute. Each 1-minute lane starts a new race every minute. Trading for the next race opens while the current race is still running. 2\. Pick your coin Choose which cryptocurrency you think will have the better percentage performance during the race. Available odds update as traders take positions. 3\. Trading closes Once the race begins, trading closes. No new trades can be placed on that race. 4\. Watch the race Follow both cryptocurrencies' percentage movements live. Most Crypto Duels last 1 minute, while BTC vs ETH runs for 5 minutes. 5\. Winner confirmed The cryptocurrency with the better percentage performance from start to finish wins. Winning positions are paid out automatically. If the result is a tie or reliable price data is unavailable, the duel is refunded. The winner is the coin with the higher signed percentage change from start to finish (exit/entry - 1), not the bigger absolute move. | Example | ETH | SOL | Winner | | ---------------- | ------ | ------ | ----------------- | | One up, one down | +0.05% | -0.20% | ETH (gained more) | | Both go down | -0.05% | -0.20% | ETH (fell less) | Even if both coins fall, the one that falls less wins. ### Available Pairs Crypto Duels runs 14 fixed lanes around the clock, plus one rotating lane. | Pair | Race length | The story | | ------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------ | | ETH vs SOL | 1 min | The top two smart-contract chains | | BTC vs ETH | 5 min | The flippening | | DOGE vs SHIB | 1 min | The dog war | | PEPE vs BONK | 1 min | Ethereum’s meme champion vs Solana’s | | SUI vs APT | 1 min | The Move twins | | HYPE vs ASTER | 1 min | The perp-DEX war | | SOL vs HYPE | 1 min | Will HYPE flip SOL? | | AERO vs UNI | 1 min | Top DEX on Base vs on Ethereum | | UNI vs CAKE | 1 min | Top DEX on Ethereum vs on BNB Chain | | BNB vs ETH | 1 min | Exchange chain vs Ethereum | | BNB vs XRP | 1 min | The fight for #4 | | TRX vs BNB | 1 min | Chain rivals | | ADA vs NEAR | 1 min | Layer-1 rivals | | DOT vs WLD | 1 min | Layer-1 vs AI identity | | Rotating lane | 1 min | Cycles through 23 more rivalries | The rotating lane cycles through additional cryptocurrency rivalries, provided both coins meet the required trading-volume conditions. ### How Prices Are Determined Crypto Duels use a multi-exchange index price, updated every second. This gives a reliable, manipulation-resistant price for each coin throughout the race. The percentage movement of each cryptocurrency is measured from the beginning of the race to the finish to determine the winning side. ### Ties and Refunds Sometimes a duel may end without a winner. Tie: If the difference between the two coins' percentage movements is within 0.001%, all positions are refunded. Price data interruption: If reliable price updates become unavailable, the duel is cancelled and all positions are refunded. | Situation | Result | | -------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Tie (within 0.001%) | Everyone is refunded | | Prices stop updating | Duel is cancelled and refunded | ### Trading Limits * Minimum trade: $0.10 * Maximum trade: $10 per account per duel * Payment methods: Cash Balance or Trading Credits Fees: * 2% trading fee on every buy and sell * 3% spread on the buy price and on sell proceeds * 10% of profit on a win ### Share Your Results You can share your Crypto Duel trades using a shareable result card. Each card displays the two competing coins, the result, and the side you selected. Shared links open a public duel page with a preview for platforms such as X and Telegram. ### Where to Find Crypto Duels You can access Crypto Duels through the 0Y Duels hub, the Crypto Duels section in the sidebar, or the live Crypto Duel panel on the Markets page. ### Ready to trade?

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.0y.world/product-live-duels/how-crypto-duel-works.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
