Rules
SIXTY is a ranked 1v1 trading ladder on Solana: two players, one fixed token list, sixty minutes, best % P&L wins. These rules apply in every mode.
The match
- A match lasts 60:00. Spar also offers a Sprint of 06:00.
- A 10-second countdown runs before the clock starts. Trading opens at 00:00 elapsed and closes at the bell.
- Both sides start with the same bankroll: $10,000 of paper USDC in Season 0.
- You can trade as often as you like within the limits: one trade every 2 seconds, at most 120 trades a match, $10 minimum per trade, a 0.10% fee on every fill.
- You can forfeit at any time. A forfeit is a loss.
Tradable list
Season 0 uses one fixed list, quoted in USDC. Nothing else counts.
- SOL
- JUP
- BONK
- WIF
- JTO
- PYTH
- RAY
- JitoSOL
Paper fills are priced on our server from live Jupiter prices. The game server checks every token mint against Jupiter.
Scoring
- Your score is the percent change of your total equity: cash plus every position.
- At the bell, positions are marked at a 60-second average price for each token, so a last-second wick cannot decide a match.
- The higher % P&L wins. Scores within 0.01% of each other are a draw.
- During a match you see both players’ equity, P&L and trade count. Your opponent’s positions stay hidden until the final bell; then both books are shown.
Minimum trades
You need at least 3 trades to be eligible to win a ranked match. Sitting in cash and hoping is not a strategy here: if one side has fewer than 3 trades and the other has 3 or more, the active side wins. A side with 0 trades forfeits.
Rating and matchmaking
- Everyone starts at 1000.
- Ratings use ELO with K = 40 for your first 10 ranked matches, then K = 24.
- Matchmaking looks for an opponent within ±100 of your rating, widening by 50 every 15 seconds you wait, up to ±400.
- Spar matches never change your rating.
Tiers
| Tier | Crest | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| I | under 1100 | |
| II | 1100–1249 | |
| III | 1250–1399 | |
| IV | 1400–1549 | |
| V | 1550–1699 | |
| VI | 1700–1849 | |
| VII | 1850 and up |
Whale is the top tier. At season end it is also capped to the top 100 players by rating.
Seasons
Season 0 is Practice Ranked: free, paper bankroll, real ratings. It runs until Ranked Stakes open. At season end we snapshot every rank and issue a rank badge. Badges are non-transferable at first; NFT badges may follow later. Season 0 rewards are badges only, never money.
Modes
- Spar
- Instant, unranked, against the SIXTY sparring bot. No wallet: a guest name is enough. Sprint 6:00 or Full 60:00.
- Practice Ranked
- Season 0. Sign in with a Solana wallet by signing one message (no transaction). Matched by rating, $10,000 paper bankroll, rating and tier move.
- Ranked Stakes
- Built, switched off. See below.
Fair play
- One wallet is one player. Multiple accounts are not allowed.
- We check for sybil patterns: repeat pairings between the same wallets and patterns of throwing matches. Flagged matches can be voided and accounts removed from the ladder.
- In paper mode every price comes from our server. Nothing you send can change a fill price.
Ranked Stakes
Coming after legal review and audit.
Ranked Stakes would let both players stake into an escrow program, trade their own wallets through Jupiter and have real fills scored by our indexer, with the winner taking the pot minus a match fee. It is built and switched off. It stays closed until all of these are true: a legal review of skill-game rules has passed, the escrow program has been audited, $SIXTY has launched, and the owner approves. Until then it runs on devnet only. No money is staked, won or paid out on SIXTY today.
FAQ
Does Season 0 cost anything?
No. Practice Ranked and Spar are free. Sign-in is one signed message, not a transaction, so there is no network fee.
Is there prize money?
No. Season 0 uses a paper bankroll and rewards rank badges only. Ranked Stakes are closed until legal review, an escrow audit, the token launch and the owner’s approval.
Why can’t I see my opponent’s positions?
So nobody can copy or fade the other side live. You see their equity, P&L and trade count all match. Both books open at the final bell.
Why a 60-second average at the bell?
One thin print in the last second should not decide sixty minutes of trading. Averaging the final minute removes that.
What if my connection drops?
The match keeps running on the server. Reopen the match link; the page reconnects and catches up. Positions you hold stay marked to market.
Is there a $SIXTY token?
Not yet. $SIXTY has not launched and has no contract address. Any CA you see posted is not ours.
Which wallets work?
Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and any Wallet Standard Solana wallet that can sign a message. On Android, the phone’s wallet app connects through Mobile Wallet Adapter; on iPhone, open SIXTY inside your wallet’s browser.
Can I change my name?
Wallet players can set a unique display name of 3 to 16 letters, digits or underscores.
