FAQ
Common questions from beta testers. If yours is not here, ask in the Telegram.
How do I get an invite?
Invites come from members, who each hold a few codes to hand out. A code arrives as a link with ?i= in it, or as a code you can type on the door. If you do not know a member yet, join the Telegram waitlist.
Is any of this real money?
No. The beta runs on testnet with practice money. Everyone starts with the same $10,000 stack, granted the moment you join. Nothing is at stake, nothing is promised, and nothing you do can cost you anything.
Do I need a wallet, or crypto, to join?
No. You sign in with X and you are your handle. The account is set up for you and the $10,000 is credited silently. You never have to see a wallet address to play.
What is $POPX?
$POPX is the record your account earns. It accumulates on the value of everything your account holds, positions and cash, over time, and it never goes down. You earn $POPX on the value of your positions over time; there is nothing to stake and nothing to click. $POPX is the governance token of the protocol and nothing else is promised. The full explanation is in the docs (opens in a new tab).
How do I climb the leaderboard?
The leaderboard ranks members by $POPX earned. Your earn rate at any moment is your account value, so the way up is to grow your account and keep it high: be right about who rises and falls, and be early. Volume alone does nothing.
Can I run a bot?
Yes, and it is encouraged. Running a bot is a normal way to play. See Running a Bot for the short version and the Bot Guide for the full technical guide.
Can I have more than one account?
One person, one name. You can add several wallets to your one account and split your stack across them, but there is one $10,000 stack and one record per member. Value and $POPX roll up to your name however many wallets you run.
Why can I see the board without signing in?
The board, name detail pages, and the leaderboard are public: the live market is the point, and you should be able to look before you join. Signing in with an invite is what lets you act, trade, hold a bankroll, keep a portfolio, and build a record.
Can I deposit or withdraw?
Not in the beta. The stack is closed-loop practice money by design. Deposits and withdrawals arrive as a first-class feature when real money does.
Where do I report a bug or ask for help?
The Telegram is the room. Post what you saw and how to reproduce it. Breaking things is useful; that is what the beta is for.
