How It Works

Bulls VS Bears is a real-time trading battle that runs continuously, 24/7.

The Core Concept

Every time someone trades the token on pump.fun, they're automatically entered into the current round:

  • Buy the token = Join the Bulls team 🐂

  • Sell the token = Join the Bears team 🐻

No signup, no wallet connection, no clicking buttons. Just trade.

How Winners Are Determined

At the end of 60 seconds, the system compares prices:

  • End price ≥ Start price → Bulls win 🐂

  • End price < Start price → Bears win 🐻

Important: Even a 0.001% price change determines the winner. Direction matters, not magnitude.

The Prize Pool

Where It Comes From

  • Creator fees from pump.fun trades

  • Typically 0.3-0.95% of every buy/sell

  • Automatically accumulated by the system

  • No entry fees required

The Dynamic Split

The prize pool split changes based on market momentum:

How Payouts Work

  1. System claims creator fees from pump.fun

  2. Applies dynamic split (20-80% to winners)

  3. Buys tokens with the winners' pot

  4. Distributes proportionally based on points

  5. Sends tokens instantly to your wallet

Your share formula:

The Live Display

While the battle runs, a live display shows:

  • Time remaining in the round

  • Current points for Bulls vs Bears

  • Prize pool size

  • Wave direction (rising/steady/falling)

  • Recent trades and who's dominating

  • Your rank (if you're in the round)

This is typically shown on a livestream, overlay, or public display so all traders can watch the action.

Continuous Rounds

The game never stops:

  • Round 1 → Winners paid → Round 2 → Winners paid → Round 3 → ...

  • No breaks between rounds (except 2-3 second payout processing)

  • New opportunities every minute

  • Play as many or as few rounds as you want

Key Differences from Normal Trading

Normal Trading

  • Buy → Wait → Hope → Maybe profit

  • Trade alone

  • No immediate feedback

  • Win or lose in isolation

Bulls VS Bears

  • Buy → Instant points → 60 seconds → Win/lose immediately

  • Team competition

  • Real-time scoreboard

  • Prize pools + potential token value gain

Why This Structure Works

Psychological Triggers

1. Time Pressure

  • 60 seconds = no time to overthink

  • Decisions become emotional

  • Panic buying/selling kicks in

2. Real-Time Feedback

  • See your points accumulate instantly

  • Watch your team winning or losing

  • Immediate gratification

3. Social Competition

  • See other traders winning

  • "If they can do it, so can I"

  • FOMO from watching others succeed

4. Near-Miss Effect

  • "Lost by 10 points"

  • "If I had just bought 0.01 SOL more..."

  • Guaranteed to play again

5. Variable Rewards

  • Prize pools change every round

  • Never know exact payout

  • Slot machine effect

The Flywheel

Every player makes the game more valuable for everyone else.
