Protocol Flow

From dare to settlement.

A simple view of what happens to a challenge after you create it, who acts at each stage, and how the escrow reaches its final state.

STEP 01Creator

Define the dare

Write one clear, measurable challenge. Choose the deadline, stake asset and whether proof is required.

STEP 02

Lock the creator stake

The creator deposits the selected ETH or USDC amount into the protocol escrow.

STEP 03Accepter

Someone accepts

An accepter joins by depositing the matching stake. The challenge is now running on-chain.

STEP 04

Deadline and proof window

The clock controls when the challenge can progress. If proof is required, the accepter submits inspectable evidence during the allowed window.

STEP 05

Review and settle

The creator can confirm or dispute submitted proof. If a dispute remains, the protocol judge resolves the escrow according to the contract rules.

Good proof

A public, dated and independently inspectable record that directly matches the task.

Good deadline

Enough time to complete the task, but specific enough that the contract can enforce the boundary.

Good dare

Clear objective + matched stake + deadline + evidence path = less ambiguity during settlement.
