RatPool is a Skill-to-Earn arena game built on @solana .
Download the app, sign up, claim free test USDC and enter the arena to compete with other players.
The top 3 players split 90% of the pool.
Think you've got enough skill to earn your place at the top?

Lfg 🔥
I just applied for the @KannAudits grant for @Ratpoolxyz and I'm really hoping I get selected.
There's a $250 participation fee to get in, so if I'm picked, I'll be looking to raise it, and I'd be grateful if anyone in the @Solana ecosystem or @superteam community felt like helping out.
Even with that fee, it's a far better deal than paying for an escrow audit out of pocket, since those usually range from $7,000 to $18,000, with the average sitting close to $15,000.
For a solo builder, this is a very big opportunity.

Been working on this exact thing with @Ratpoolxyz , an arena shooter on @solana where everyone puts USDC into a lobby and the top 3 players split the pool...
Your own skill is what you're staking on, and the escrow sits on chain so nobody has to trust a middleman to pay out, which is something a regular game can't really offer..
It's still on devnet while I test before mainnet, and the 2D game you'll see right now is only a small taste of where I'm heading, but ratpool.xyz if you want a look..
I think one of the biggest opportunities in Web3 gaming right now is that nobody has truly figured out the perfect model yet.
We've seen games 'succeed' through NFT collections
(we had the pudgies with pudgy party, pudgy world, etc).
Others through competitive economies. (BR1)
Others by building communities around their IP.
(sillykitties & gigaverse are working towards this)
But we still haven't seen a model that consistently turns successful Web3 games into massive, sustainable businesses.
And that means there's still an enormous opportunity for whoever figures it out.
You don't necessarily need to compete with Fortnite or Roblox.
You need to find something that Web3 can genuinely improve and build an experience people want to participate in.
Once someone proves that model can scale beyond our current community, I believe we'll see a completely different level of interest in Web3 gaming.
The Rats can't wait..
I wrote a cool marketing story for @Ratpoolxyz...
So cool that I think it should be the first marketing post for the game immediately we hit mainet 😂

For gamers who are actually looking for a web3 game that rewards skill instead of tokens...
or those who just want to try something new on @Solana...
this game right here is worth your time, and the demo is open on browser and mobile on Devnet.
Most web3 games dwell on their tokens...
But in case you don't know, Ratpool has no token...

RatPool has been submitted to @MLHacks .
We're still on devnet and there's a long way to go before it matches the full vision, but the arena is taking shape.
Follow along as we keep building it.
If it wasn't for the email reminder on Saturday, I would have missed the submission portal for RatPool on @MLHacks
This is the first time I'm pushing my products everywhere, to the best of my capacity, and getting them in front of the right audience.
@Ratpoolxyz is still on devnet, and what I can build so far is still far from what I see in my head, but getting this far makes me believe it's achievable.
Full walkthrough video of the RatPool website just dropped.
Watch it, then head to ratpool.xyz and try it yourself.
I made a walkthrough video of the @Ratpoolxyz website so you can see how everything works before you jump in.
Watch it, then go explore ratpool.xyz yourself.
In the next video, I'll explain why I chose rats.
Not every Web3 game needs NFTs and tokens to succeed, and at RatPool we're exploring exactly that.
Players enter a lobby with USDC, play the match, and the top 3 split the pool. What you earn comes down to your aim, your movement, and how well you hold the zones.
That's why we call it skill-to-earn: you only bet on yourself.
😂💔
I recorded a 6-minute website walkthrough of @Ratpoolxyz, only to discover that my mic had switched off before I even started speaking because of low battery.
The worst part? The light didn't stay long, so I used the last bar of battery on my PC to record it.
All that effort for a silent video. 🤧

Good question.
RatPool rewards the players who play best. You need good aim to land kills, solid jetpack control to move around the map, and the awareness to hold the marked zones, because staying inside them keeps adding points even when you're not fighting.
If you're new, the lower lobbies are a cheap way to learn the game before moving up.
As always, you only bet on yourself.

Attempting to add @Ratpoolxyz to @solanamobile .. is it really this straight forward 👀👀
Ratpool retweeted
This is literally @Ratpoolxyz .
It's a 2D multiplayer arena game built on Solana, where up to 40 players compete for a pool. The pool is funded together by everyone who enters, and the top 3 split 90% of it.
It's currently on devnet, and that's what RatPool is all about.

The minimum of six players per pool was carefully chosen.
Even in the worst case scenario, there will always be at least six people in the pool before a match kicks off on @Ratpoolxyz
Every RatPool match needs at least 6 players to get started, and each pool stays open for 1 minute while players join, though it closes immediately once it's full.
That keeps lobbies moving fast, so you're never stuck waiting around long before you're in the arena playing for the pool.
