# Zone

#### **What is** Zone

Zone is a real-time multiplier game where users participate in a continuously increasing value and decide when to exit before the round ends.

Each round starts from a base multiplier that increases over time. Users can join the round and choose when to exit, securing the current multiplier at that moment.

The round ends instantly at a randomly determined point. Users who exit before the round ends receive their calculated value, while those who remain in the round until the end do not receive a return.

#### **How it works**

Each round begins with a multiplier starting from a base value.

* The multiplier increases continuously in real time
* Users can join the round by entering an amount
* At any moment, users can choose to exit

When a user exits:

* The current multiplier is applied to their amount
* The result is calculated instantly

At an unpredictable point:

* The round ends instantly
* The multiplier stops
* The system resets and a new round begins

If a user exits before the round ends:

* The user receives their result based on the multiplier

If the round ends before the user exits:

* The participation ends with no return

***

#### **Key mechanics**

Zone is built on timing and decision-making.

* The multiplier increases continuously over time
* Users decide when to exit
* The round ends at a non-visible, unpredictable point
* Outcomes depend entirely on timing

This creates a system where:

* Early exit provides lower but safer outcomes
* Waiting longer increases potential value but also risk

At the same time, each participation contributes to the platform:

* Every entry generates transaction volume
* The resulting activity generates protocol fees
* **These fees are split equally, with 50% allocated to the SWEEP burn mechanism and 50% to USDT distribution**
