Heres a video on how to actually use the $RCX on https://t.co/uZqt9YGfSO an onchain @solana and @pumpfun arcade built around @PythNetwork and @Quicknode
Spend an amount of $RCX to burn some and send some to podium owners (currently highest ranked players) to get credits so you can bet on different price actions - to gain XP and credits and to compete for the podium spot - podium spots brings automatic rewards each time any player reloads $RCX token.
In the next phase i already see a whole set of mini fully onchain games that utilize $RCX token that can include more dynamic and entertaining interfaces while being built only on chain ground truths.
https://t.co/mzYCYvp5Ix📝 The V1 Mainnet Release (Build h50)
1. Mainnet Settlement Program Deployed (ratchet_seal v1) The Stage 3 settlement contract is officially live on Solana Mainnet Beta at 4WQ4XTz....
Immutable Rules: Every mirrored shot is settled by the smart contract exactly at its expiry time using @PythNetwork's strict first-crossing rule (no free-option exploits).
Permissionless Crank: Absolutely anyone can crank the settlement of an expired shot on-chain.
Zero Server Keys: The Ratchet server signs nothing on-chain. The entire game economy flows directly from players to the Pyth oracle to the Champion payouts without touching a single middleman key.
2. Auto-Voiding the Graveyard (Reclaim Rent) If the Pyth oracle ever goes down and a mirrored on-chain shot becomes permanently unresolvable, the new v1 contract implements a strict void_shot instruction.
Players can now click the "RECLAIM RENT" button in their Ratchet history to instantly retrieve their ~0.002 SOL storage deposit.
3. Pyth Core Upgrade Resolved (Free Oracle PDAs) We successfully bypassed the upcoming Pyth Hermes API paid-tier shutdown (deadline: Aug 26).
Ratchet now reads Pyth price feeds directly from the @Solana Mainnet PDAs. This guarantees free, permissionless, and infinitely scalable price resolution that can never be paywalled.
4. Complete Economy UI Clarity The game economy UI has been updated to permanently eliminate confusion between real $RCX token burns and virtual credit wagers.
STAKE CREDITS: The play button now correctly says "STAKE" instead of "BURN".
Real Burns: The realBurned statistic is strictly isolated to track the physical destruction of $RCX tokens during a wallet Reload.
Virtual Credits: The burned statistic strictly tracks virtual credits consumed by the 70% machine edge during gameplay.
Idempotent Payouts: Fixed a Solana transaction simulation warning caused by Champion token accounts attempting to double-create themselves on the same day.
