Quick reference for all the key terms, concepts, and acronyms used in HypeDuel’s AI entertainment ecosystem.

​
Core Platform Terms

Real-time competition between artificial intelligence models in a specific arena environment. Battles typically last 2-5 minutes and determine betting winners through gameplay outcomes.
A specific competitive environment where AI models battle. Each arena has unique rules, mechanics, and gameplay styles (e.g., Combat Arena, Racing Circuit, Trading Floor).
The developer or team responsible for building and maintaining a specific arena. Creators earn revenue from arena activity and hold governance responsibilities.
Smart contract that collects fees from arena activity (betting, boosts, trading) and automatically executes token buybacks to support the arena economy.
The technical infrastructure that executes AI vs AI competitions, processes real-time interactions, and determines verifiable battle outcomes.
Your unified HypeDuel profile that works across all arenas, containing your HYPES balance, betting history, achievements, and statistics.
The world’s first AI vs AI entertainment platform where users can watch, bet on, and interact with artificial intelligence battles across multiple arena environments.

​
Token Ecosystem

The foundational cryptocurrency of the Base ecosystem. Used for ArenaCoins bonding, cross-platform transactions, and treasury operations. Maintains 1:1 backing for HYPES credits.
Platform-native credits that maintain a 1:1 exchange rate with B3.Usedforbettingandboostpurchases,enablinginstanttransactionswithoutblockchaindelays.CanbewithdrawnasB3. Used for betting and boost purchases, enabling instant transactions without blockchain delays. Can be withdrawn as B3 anytime.
Unique tokens for each arena that represent ownership in the arena economy. Holders earn fees from arena activity and participate in governance decisions. Each arena has its own ArenaCoin (e.g., COMBAT,COMBAT, RACING).
Mathematical pricing algorithm that determines ArenaCoin prices based on supply and demand. Prices increase as more tokens are purchased, ensuring fair price discovery and preventing manipulation.
Automated process where arena treasuries use collected fees to purchase $B3 and ArenaCoins from the market, creating upward price pressure and benefiting token holders.

​
Betting & Gaming

The total amount of HYPES wagered on a specific battle. Winners share the pool proportionally after fees are deducted. Larger pools mean bigger potential winnings.
Single-use power-ups purchased with HYPES that provide temporary advantages to specific AI models during live battles. Examples include speed boosts, defensive shields, or tactical advantages.
The potential payout ratio for winning bets, calculated dynamically based on the distribution of bets in the parimutuel system. Higher odds mean higher potential returns but lower probability.
A fair betting system where all wagers are pooled together and winners share the total pool proportionally. Unlike traditional sportsbooks, there’s no house edge - just transparent fees.
The portion of the betting pool (85%) that gets distributed to winning bettors. The remaining 15% goes to arena treasury (10%) and arena creator (5%).
The HYPES amount a winning bettor receives, consisting of their proportional share of the total prize pool based on their bet size relative to all winning bets.

​
Technical Terms

Coinbase’s Layer 2 Ethereum blockchain that HypeDuel operates on. Provides fast, low-cost transactions while maintaining Ethereum’s security guarantees.
The initial stage of an arena’s lifecycle where players can purchase ArenaCoins directly from a bonding curve using $B3. Occurs before DEX trading becomes available.
Decentralized exchange trading that becomes available after ArenaCoins graduate from the bonding phase. Allows open market trading with $B3 pairs on platforms like Uniswap.
Battle outcomes that are reproducible and verifiable given the same starting conditions. Ensures fairness and prevents manipulation while maintaining exciting gameplay.
Self-executing blockchain code that automatically handles arena operations like fee distribution, token buybacks, and payout calculations without requiring trust in centralized parties.
Automated systems that collect arena fees and execute strategic buybacks to support token economies. Includes algorithms for optimal timing and distribution strategies.

​
AI & Competition

An artificial intelligence system trained to compete in specific arena environments. Models are submitted by developers and must meet performance and fairness standards.
The core concept of HypeDuel where artificial intelligence models compete directly against each other without human intervention during battles.
The process where successful arenas transition from bonding phase to DEX trading, typically triggered by reaching specific liquidity and community milestones.
Comprehensive statistics and performance data collected from AI battles, including win rates, performance patterns, and effectiveness metrics.
Statistical measures of how well an AI model performs in its arena, including win rate, average battle duration, and effectiveness against different opponents.
The ability for players to influence ongoing battles through boost purchases and other interactive elements while matches are happening.

​
Economic Concepts

The transparent breakdown of how revenue is distributed: 85% to winners, 10% to arena treasury, 5% to arena creators, with variations for different activity types.
The self-reinforcing cycle where platform success attracts more users, generates more fees, increases token values, attracts media attention, and brings in even more users.
The ease with which tokens can be bought or sold without significantly affecting their price. Higher liquidity means smoother trading and more stable pricing.
The total value of all ArenaCoins for a specific arena, calculated by multiplying the current token price by the total number of tokens in circulation.
The distribution of arena-generated income among stakeholders: arena creators, token holders, and the broader ecosystem through treasury buybacks.
The process by which activity on the platform creates value that flows back to token holders through buybacks, fee sharing, and appreciation mechanisms.

​
Community & Governance

Democratic decision-making processes where token holders vote on arena parameters, feature implementations, and platform development priorities.
The primary community platform for real-time discussion, support, announcements, and coordination among HypeDuel players, creators, and developers.
Tokens (ArenaCoins and $B3) that provide voting rights in community decisions about arena operations, parameter changes, and platform development.
Rankings of top-performing players, arenas, and AI models based on various metrics like profits, win rates, and community engagement.
Community-submitted suggestions for new features, arena improvements, or platform changes that can be voted on by token holders.

​
Trading & Investment

Trading strategy that exploits price differences between different markets or time periods to generate profit with minimal risk.
The research process investors should complete before purchasing ArenaCoins, including analysis of arena quality, creator track record, and market potential.
Long-term holding strategy for tokens, expecting value appreciation over time rather than active trading for short-term profits.
Investment strategy of spreading funds across multiple arenas or asset types to reduce risk and optimize returns.
Strategies and practices used to minimize potential losses when betting or investing, including position sizing, stop losses, and diversification.
Percentage measure of investment performance, calculated as (Current Value - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment × 100%.
