1. Overview

WCT is a match prediction and community interaction product built on the Solana blockchain architecture. Leveraging Solana's high-performance, low-latency underlying technology, we combine "prediction + support rate display + leaderboard + reward mechanism" to provide a real-time, transparent season participation experience for the community.

2. Definitions

• WCT: WorldCup Token deployed on the Solana blockchain (Pump.fun platform).
• Prediction: a wallet address submits one of Home / Draw / Away as the expected outcome for a match.
• Support rate: the share of predictions choosing an option for a match.
• Win rate (leaderboard): correct predictions / scored predictions (predicted & settled matches).
• Prize pool (SOL): SOL funds intended for campaign rewards. The website displays the on-chain native SOL balance of a designated prize pool address.

3. Product Architecture & Data Sources

3.1 Core Technical Architecture

• Front-end: Built with modern web technologies for displaying fixtures, prediction UI, leaderboard, and rewards.
• Storage: Backend storage (API + persistent server storage) ensures fast response times for prediction data.
• On-chain Data Sync: The website retrieves real-time on-chain data (e.g., SOL balance and token status of the prize pool address) via the Solana JSON RPC API, ensuring data authenticity and transparency.

3.2 Fixtures & Results

• Fixtures are loaded from schedule.json when available.
• Match results may be parsed from third-party public sources, which can change without notice and may cause settlement discrepancies.

4. Prediction Mechanism

• Submission: after connecting a wallet, users submit one of Home / Draw / Away for a match.
• Limit: typically one prediction per wallet per match (subject to the website implementation and campaign announcements).
• Daily quota: wallets holding < 100,000 WCT can submit up to 1 prediction per day; wallets holding ≥ 100,000 WCT can submit up to 5 predictions per day.

5. Prediction Rules

• Close time: predictions close 5 minutes before kickoff.
• Limit: typically one prediction per wallet per match (subject to the website implementation and campaign announcements).
• Support rate: the website displays counts and support rates for each option to reflect community sentiment.

6. Settlement & Distribution

After a match ends, the system derives a final result from public result sources and scores predictions:

• Correct: the submitted option matches the final result.
• Incorrect: the submitted option does not match the final result.

7. Leaderboard (Win Rate)

• Win rate: correct predictions / scored predictions (predicted & settled matches).
• Minimum matches: a wallet must have at least 20 scored predictions to appear on the leaderboard.
• Composite score: to balance win rate and sample size, the leaderboard ranks by Score = winRate × ln(1 + matches).
• Tie-breakers: if scores tie, ranking may use higher win rate, more correct picks, or earlier submissions (per campaign announcements).
