Each round represents a live race where all participants watch the same event unfold. Users select their preferred outcome before the race begins and follow the progression until a winner is determined. The game is designed to combine visual engagement with simple decision-making, creating an interactive viewing experience. *** #### **How it works** Each race begins with multiple objects placed at the starting point of a track. Before the race starts: * Users select one of the available objects * Each selection represents their position in that round Once the race starts: * All objects begin moving simultaneously * Each object progresses along the track at varying speeds * The movement evolves in real time Important: * **Users cannot join after the race has started** * All participants are locked in before the race begins During the race: * All users watch the same progression * The leading position may change dynamically When the race ends: * One object reaches the finish line first * That object is declared the winner * Users who selected the winning object receive the reward After the round ends: * A new race begins *** #### **Key mechanics** Racing is built on real-time progression and pre-race selection. * Users must choose before the race starts * No entries are allowed once the race begins * All users observe the same race simultaneously * Outcomes are determined by the progression of the race This creates a system where: * Decisions are made before the outcome begins * The experience is focused on observation and anticipation * Each race is independent and repeatable At the same time, each interaction contributes to the platform: * Every participation generates transaction volume * A fixed **5% protocol fee** is applied * **2.5% is burned** and **2.5% is distributed in USDT** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.sweep.finance/ecosystem-components/platform/racing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
