We built a sports tournament game on Solana
for the NBA Playoffs. Users buy the token of
the team they think will win the championship
and can always swap to another team if they
change their mind. Winners split prize pool.
Would love to get your honest take on it before
playoffs start. Happy to send you a link to
try it out?
We ran a full 64-team bracket on Solana for March Madness using a custom bonding curve and live trading between matchups.
Total SOL Deposited Across the Entire Tournament:
88.53 SOL.
The system rewarded players who spotted the champion early and managed their positions through live trading and swaps.
How the Tournament Works
Users buy share tokens for any team with SOL.
Prices moved dynamically - the more people piled into one team, the more expensive its tokens became.
You could trade/swap positions between rounds (sell a losing team’s tokens to buy the winner’s).
Only the champion’s token holders get paid at the end. Everyone else’s money feeds the winner.
If UConn were to win right now the top user would hit a 69x.
The second highest returning user would turn 1 SOL into 26.7 SOL.
Big Dance is built to reward early conviction with significant upside.
Over 10 SOL has swapped to UConn from Illinois mid game.
Your choice is not final until the final whistle has been blown.
However the earlier you swap, the better price you get.
In preparation for the Final Four tonight, we are releasing our discord and telegram channel.
