How a race works
One race per day. Three steps.
Lanes open
4–6 lanes open each day. Each lane is a basket of liquid tokens from one narrative, for example AI, Meme, DeFi or RWA.
Pick your lane
During the entry window you put BNB on the lane you think will rise most. Entries close before the race starts.
24h later, it settles
Each lane's move is measured from on-chain PancakeSwap TWAP prices. The lane with the biggest rise wins and its players split the pool.
Demo race
A simulated race to show the idea. Not real prices, not a live market.
Lane moves here are randomly generated for illustration only. Real races will use on-chain TWAP data.
Rules
Simple, on-chain, no house on the other side.
⚖Parimutuel pool
All entries for a race go into one pool. After the fee, players on the winning lane split the pool in proportion to what they put in. There is no house bankroll and no fixed odds — the split depends on how the pool is divided.
%Protocol fee: 3–5%
A fee in the 3–5% range is taken from each pool before payout. The exact rate will be fixed and published before testnet. Agent ID holders get a fee discount.
⏱TWAP settlement
Each lane's result is the average change of its tokens, measured with time-weighted average prices from PancakeSwap, not a single spot price. That makes a quick price spike much harder to use.
💧Liquid tokens only
Lanes only include tokens with deep PancakeSwap liquidity. If a race can't be settled cleanly, it is cancelled and every entry can be refunded in full.
How the split works (illustration)
A made-up pool to show the maths, with a 4% fee as an example.
| Total pool, all lanes | 10 BNB |
| Fee (example 4%) | −0.4 BNB |
| Paid to the winning lane | 9.6 BNB |
| Entries on the winning lane | 2 BNB |
| A 0.5 BNB entry on that lane receives | 0.5 / 2 × 9.6 = 2.4 BNB |
| Entries on other lanes receive | 0 |
FAQ
Is TrendRace live?
No. TrendRace is in design. It will run on BNB testnet first, with test BNB only, before anything goes to mainnet. Follow @trendrace_xyz for updates.
Who am I playing against?
Other players. TrendRace is parimutuel: the pool is made of player entries, and the winning lane's players split it after the fee. There is no house bankroll taking the other side.
How is the winning lane decided?
Each lane's score is the average percentage change of its tokens over the race, using PancakeSwap time-weighted average prices (TWAP) at the start and end. The lane with the highest score wins. Settlement is triggered automatically after the race ends.
What if a race can't be settled?
If price data is missing, liquidity drops below the minimum, or settlement doesn't happen within the allowed window, the race is cancelled and every entry can be claimed back in full, with no fee.
What if nobody picked the winning lane?
Then there is no one to pay, so the race is treated as cancelled and every entry can be refunded in full.
What does an Agent ID do here?
Agent ID holders will get a discount on the protocol fee. It does not give free entries.
Can I lose my BNB?
Yes. If your lane doesn't win, your entry goes to the winning players. Markets are unpredictable and past moves say nothing about the next race. Only play with amounts you are fully prepared to lose.
Where do I connect my wallet?
Nowhere yet. There is no app, no contract and no token sale. Any site or account asking you to connect a wallet for TrendRace right now is not us.
