Understand how pool bidding windows work, how win chances are calculated, and what happens to your money.
Multiple users bid into a shared pool during a 5-minute window. At the end of the window, the system determines whether the pool collectively wins the NFT or the current owner retains it, based on the total pool size relative to the NFT's value. The larger the pool relative to the NFT value, the higher the chance the pool wins.
The win chance indicator has two layers. The visual display can rise up to 130% — the overflow beyond 100% is shown for excitement and reflects growing momentum. The real (capped) win chance is always capped at 80%, shown by the circular indicator on the left. When the visual reaches 130%, the pool auto-wins regardless of the real chance calculation.
A single winner is selected from the pool using weighted probability — your share is proportional to your bid amount plus any bonuses you have earned. The winner receives the NFT, which enters an 8-hour lock period. All other bidders receive level-based refunds (1–20% of their bid). The remaining fees are split: 90% goes to the previous NFT owner and 10% to the system.
All bidders receive level-based refunds on their bids. The fee portion is split dynamically: 50–70% goes to the NFT owner as compensation, 15–35% is added directly to the NFT's value (making it worth more), and 15% goes to the system. The NFT immediately returns to an active bidding state, available for the next window.
Your weighted share within the pool can be boosted by several bonuses. The First Bidder bonus adds +5% for being the first to bid in a window. The Comeback bonus adds +3% if you placed the highest losing bid in the previous window on the same NFT. Level bonuses apply at higher account levels: +1% at Levels 6–10, +2% at Levels 11–15, and +3% at Levels 16–20.
When you win an NFT, it enters a mandatory 8-hour lock period. During this time the NFT is not available for bidding. As the new owner, you can choose to list it early (making it available before the lock expires) or cash out at the current NFT value. After 8 hours, the NFT automatically enters the active pool.
No. Each bidding window allows a maximum of one bid per user per NFT. Once you have placed a bid in an active window, you must wait for that window to close before placing another bid on the same NFT. You can however bid on different NFTs simultaneously.
