Opening on Solana devnet
The ladder
The same levels run on 3 chains, each with its own escrow and its own record. Open levels sit on the line. A fallen level drops below it, with the time it took.
Win a bounty. Pick a level, solve it, get paid by the contract. The smallest levels solve in your browser.
How to solveYear one
Fixed prizes on a fixed schedule, so fall times stay comparable. Every prize is in escrow before its level opens.
