RUNG PROTOCOL SPECIFICATION & FAQ · Vv1

Rules before
odds.

RUNG is a decentralized, high-velocity PredictionFi protocol specifically architected for token milestones and meme momentum on Robinhood Chain Testnet. 100% PvP. Zero house spread. Boringly explicit settlement rules.

01

WHAT RUNG IS

RUNG is the prediction layer after the launchpad. We do not launch tokens, we do not take directional bets, and we never act as a sportsbook house. Instead, RUNG provides a transparent on-chain arena where traders stake on token performance milestones.

All positions are matched directly against other traders in canonical USDG. The protocol custody is strictly limited to funds currently active in PvP pools.

02

DUAL-BARRIER MECHANIC (YES vs NO)

Every RUNG market is governed by two clear thresholds: an Upper Barrier (upside milestone / pump target) and a Lower Barrier (downside floor / dump support).

  • YES: You predict the token will climb and breach the Upper Barrier first.
  • NO: You predict the token will crash and breach the Lower Barrier first.

Whichever barrier is reached first on DEX blocks and verified on-chain wins the market. Once triggered, the market immediately locks and settles.

03

HOURLY MEME VELOCITY

Memecoins and DEX launchpad tokens are fast-moving assets. Traditional 7-day or 30-day prediction markets fail because meme cycles often resolve in hours.

RUNG markets feature time-bounded durations measured in hours:

  • 6 Hours (Sprint): Fast intraday scalping on high-velocity launches.
  • 12 Hours (Flash): Day-momentum battles for trending tokens.
  • 24 Hours (Daily Rung): The standard daily battle horizon.
  • 48 Hours (Weekend Swing): Midcap meme consolidation battles.
  • 7 Days (Marathon): Reserved exclusively for large-cap assets ($10M+ market cap like $PONS).

THE PROGRESSIVE LADDER

When a token qualifies autonomously, it enters Rung 1 at the $250K qualification floor and climbs one rung at a time. Each rung is a single canonical market; the next rung unlocks only after the previous one settles upward. A rung that settles downward is recorded as failed and is never duplicated.

05

PARI-MUTUEL PAYOUTS (PVP ONLY)

RUNG uses pari-mutuel pooling: player payouts depend entirely on the final pool ratio between YES and NO at settlement.

When a market resolves:

  1. Winners receive 100% of their original staked principal.
  2. The entire losing pool is pooled together.
  3. A clean 2.0% protocol fee is deducted from the losing pool.
  4. The remaining 98% of the losing pool is distributed pro-rata to winners based on their stake size.

The Golden Rule: Protocol fees are charged exclusively on the losing pool. Winners never pay fees on their own principal.

06

THE 100% VOID REFUND GUARANTEE

Prediction markets should never punish traders when a token fails to move.

A market resolves to VOID under two conditions:

  • Timer Expiry: If the market timer hits zero and neither the upper nor lower barrier was touched.
  • Unmatched Pools: If one side (YES or NO) had $0 staked at resolution time.

In any VOID market, every single player reclaims 100% of their principal. RUNG takes zero fee ($0). Furthermore, a permissionless watchdog escape hatch automatically self-heals and voids any stuck market after a 6-hour grace window.

07

DISCOVERY & COMMUNITY VOTING

RUNG scans decentralized DEX factories on Robinhood Chain Testnet including Pons (V1, V2, and Uniswap V4 MemeHook), Robinpad, and Uniswap V3.

In addition, the Community Voting Engine (/voting) allows communities to vote for their favorite tokens. To ensure complete Sybil resistance, every vote requires a real cryptographic wallet signature (EIP-191) with 5-minute timestamp bounds. Bot-flooding and spoofed voter addresses are mathematically impossible.

08

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

How does a RUNG market settle between YES and NO?

Each market sets an Upper Target (e.g. +30%) and a Lower Floor (e.g. -25%). Staking YES predicts the token hits +30% first. Staking NO predicts it drops -25% first. Whichever barrier is reached first on DEX blocks and proven by the multi-reporter quorum wins the pool.

What are the market timeframes?

RUNG markets are time-bounded in hours (typically 6h, 12h, 24h, or 48h) to match intraday DEX momentum, with longer windows (up to 7 days) available for high-market-cap tokens.

What happens if neither barrier is breached before the timer expires?

If the market expires without either the upper target or lower floor being touched, the market is automatically VOIDED. 100% of all player principal stakes are refunded in full. The protocol retains $0. You never suffer time-decay losses on indecisive tokens.

What happens if only one side is funded (unmatched market)?

Because RUNG never acts as the house or counterparty, a market must have player interest on both sides. If only YES or only NO is staked when the market resolves, the market voids and all players receive a 100% principal refund with 0 fees.

How are payouts calculated? (Pari-Mutuel Rules)

Odds are not fixed. All stakes in the YES pool and NO pool form a PvP pari-mutuel pool. Winners receive 100% of their staked principal back, plus their pro-rata share of the entire losing pool after a 2.0% protocol fee. The fee is charged only on the losing pool—winners never pay a fee on their principal.

How does Community Voting work?

Anyone can nominate any Robinhood Chain token at /voting. To prevent bots and Sybil attacks, every vote requires a real EIP-191 wallet signature with 5-minute timestamp bounds. When a candidate reaches the graduation threshold, it safely unlocks for deployment on the live floor.

What network and settlement token are used?

RUNG operates on Robinhood Chain Testnet (Chain ID 46630). All bets, payouts, and refunds are settled exclusively in canonical USDG (USDG, 6 decimals).
