01OVERVIEW & QUICK START

Arms Dealer is a real-time war trading game on Base (chain 8453). You trade simulated war markets — going long or short on warring nations. HP determines the winner. When the war ends, the loser’s price crashes 30–95% (random each game). HP is hidden behind fog of war — you see status labels, not exact numbers. Your final balance determines your payout. Holding correct positions at war end earns a +20% winner bonus on your gains.

Winner Bonus (each)

Core insight: HP determines the winner, NOT price. When the war ends, the losing side’s price crashes 30–95%. Longs on the winner hold — +20% bonus. Shorts on the loser print massive gains — +20% bonus. Both = +40%. Everything else gets destroyed. Major turnaround events can flip the war when one side dominates.

Initial momentum	-0.05 – +0.05	(rng() - 0.5) × 0.1
Initial intensity	0.5 – 1.0	0.5 + rng() × 0.5

04PRICE MODEL

Prices follow a momentum-weighted random walk scaled by volatility. Each tick, both sides update independently.

Side A Price Update

momA = momentum + (hpA < hpB ? +0.012 : -0.006) dA = (random() - 0.494 + momA) × volatility × priceA priceA = max(20, priceA + dA)

Side B Price Update

momB = -momentum + (hpB < hpA ? +0.012 : -0.006) dB = (random() - 0.494 + momB) × volatility × priceB priceB = max(20, priceB + dB)

Key Properties

Slight positive bias: The random component centers at -0.494 + 0.5 = +0.006 (not zero), creating a very slight upward drift before momentum.
HP-driven directional pressure: The side with lower HP gets +0.012 momentum boost (reversion pressure). The side with higher HP gets -0.006 (less boost).
Momentum is inversed for B: Positive momentum helps A, negative momentum helps B.
Price-proportional: Moves are percentages of current price, not fixed amounts.
Floor at 20: Prices can’t drop below 20 during normal trading. War-end crash floor is 5.

Momentum Decay

momentum *= 0.95 // 5% decay per tick momentum += (random() - 0.5) × 0.01 // random walk ±0.005

Momentum mean-reverts quickly. Effective range stays roughly ±0.1 due to exponential decay.

Volatility Bounds

Context	Min	Max
Initialization	0.035	0.075
After escalation	—	0.12
After deescalation	0.02	—
After crash event	—	0.15

05HP & WINNER DETERMINATION

Each side has HP (0–100). HP decays every tick. The side with more HP when the war ends wins. This is the single most important signal in the game.

Fog of War: You do NOT see exact HP numbers. Instead, HP is shown as status labels: DOMINANT (75–100), STRONG (55–75), HOLDING (35–55), WEAKENED (15–35), CRITICAL (0–15). The advantage field shows CLEAR, SLIGHT, or CONTESTED. Use the analytics endpoint for raw HP values if you need precision.

HP Update Per Tick

hpGap = abs(hpA - hpB) rubberBand = hpGap × 0.006 // up to 0.6 HP/tick at max gap decay = 0.3 + random() × 0.4 // 0.30 to 0.70 per tick armedHP = longPositionQty × 0.04 // 0.04 HP per unit of longs held penalty = 0.15 // fixed per-tick drain // Leader decays FASTER, trailer decays SLOWER leaderDecay = decay + rubberBand trailerDecay = decay - rubberBand × 0.5 hpA = clamp(hpA - decayA + armedHP_A - penalty, 0, 100) hpB = clamp(hpB - decayB + armedHP_B - penalty, 0, 100)

Rubber-banding: The leading side decays faster and the losing side decays slower, proportional to the HP gap. At a 50-point gap, the leader loses an extra 0.3 HP/tick while the trailer saves 0.15 HP/tick. This prevents runaway dominance and keeps comebacks possible.

Armed bonus: Holding long positions on a side gives it +0.04 HP per unit per tick. This means your trades actively influence the war outcome. Large longs can prop up a losing side.

Winner Determination

winner = (hpA >= hpB) ? "a" : "b" // ties go to side A

This is evaluated at the exact moment the war ends. HP values at war-end are final.

Expected HP Drain Rate

Without any long positions held:

Average decay per tick: 0.5 (random 0.3–0.7) + 0.15 penalty = 0.65 HP/tick (before rubber-banding)
Rubber-banding adjustment: Leader drains up to 0.6 HP/tick faster; trailer drains up to 0.3 HP/tick slower
HP rarely hits zero naturally within a single round. Winner is typically determined by relative HP at war end, not by depletion.
Comebacks are real: Major events + rubber-banding mean the early leader does not always win

06WAR END & CRASH MECHANICS

War End Conditions

Condition	Mechanics
Tick 1–48	War cannot end. Safe zone.
Tick 49+	0.8% chance per tick: `random() < 0.008`
Tick 80	War ends unconditionally.

Cumulative End Probability

P(war ended by tick T) = 1 - (1 - 0.008)^(T - 48) for T > 48 Tick 53: ~3.9% Tick 58: ~7.7% Tick 63: ~11.3% Tick 68: ~14.8% Tick 73: ~18.2% Tick 80: ~22.6% (then forced end)

Crash Behavior

// Loser price crashes 30-95% (random magnitude each game) crashMult = 0.05 + rng() × 0.65 // 0.05 to 0.70 — i.e. retain 5-70% of price if (aWins) priceB = max(5, priceB × crashMult) else priceA = max(5, priceA × crashMult) // Winner price: unchanged

Variable crash: The crash magnitude is random each game (30–95% drop). You cannot know the exact crash size in advance. This makes “wait and short the loser” less reliable as a guaranteed strategy.

Auto-Close at War End

All open positions are force-closed at post-crash prices:

Longs on winner: Close at winner’s price (unchanged). Profitable if bought lower. +20% bonus on gains.
Shorts on loser: Close at crashed price. Massive profit. +20% bonus on gains.
Longs on loser: Close at crashed price. ~30-95% loss.
Shorts on winner: Close at winner’s price (unchanged). Loss.

Winner Bonus

+20% bonus on total round gains for each correct end-of-round position:

Long on the winner at war end → +20% on your total gains
Short on the loser at war end → +20% on your total gains
Both → +40% stacked bonus

Only applies when total gains > 0. This makes predicting the winner essential — you can’t just scalp volatility and ignore the war outcome.

This is the entire game. Every decision should be oriented around the crash event AND the winner bonus. Identify the likely winner by HP, hold correct positions through war end, and collect both crash profits and the +20/40% bonus.

07NEWS EVENT SYSTEM

Trigger Condition

if (tick % 12 === 0 && random() < 0.55) { trigger random event from 15 possible events }

Events fire approximately every 12 ticks with 55% probability. Expected: ~4–5 events per round.

All 15 Events

Event	Type	Effect
MISSILE STRIKE REPORTED	escalate	vol = min(vol × 1.4, 0.12)
NUCLEAR THREAT DETECTED	escalate	vol = min(vol × 1.5, 0.12)
CYBER ATTACK DETECTED	escalate	vol = min(vol × 1.25, 0.12)
TROOP MOBILIZATION	escalate	vol = min(vol × 1.3, 0.12)
PEACE TALKS INITIATED	deescalate	vol = max(vol × 0.6, 0.02)
CEASEFIRE PROPOSED	deescalate	vol = max(vol × 0.7, 0.02)
HUMANITARIAN CORRIDOR OPENED	deescalate	vol = max(vol × 0.65, 0.02)
ARMS EMBARGO DECLARED	embargo	priceA ×= 1.3; priceB ×= 1.3
SANCTIONS IMPOSED	embargo	priceA ×= 1.2; priceB ×= 1.2
SUPPLY LINE CUT	shift	Random side: price ×= 1.2
ALLIED REINFORCEMENTS	shift	Random side: price ×= 1.15
INTELLIGENCE LEAK	shift	Random side: price ×= 0.85
DOUBLE AGENT EXPOSED	shift	Random side: price ×= 0.75
FLASH CRASH	crash	Random side: price ×= 0.6; vol = min(vol × 1.5, 0.15)
BLACK SWAN EVENT	crash	Random side: price ×= 0.55; vol = min(vol × 1.5, 0.15)

Shift events are dangerous: They affect a random side (50/50). A shift can hurt or help your positions regardless of HP. Crash events are the most volatile — a single side can lose 40–45% of its price instantly.

Major Turnaround Events

When one side is dominating (HP gap > 20), rare but powerful events can completely flip the war:

if (tick > 15 && tick < 85 && hpGap > 20 && random() < 0.04) { trigger major turnaround event // ~4% chance per eligible tick }

Event	HP Swing	Price Swing
COUP D’ÉTAT — REGIME CHANGE	+30 to loser	×1.4 loser / ×0.6 winner
SUPERWEAPON DEPLOYED	+25 to loser	×1.3 loser / ×0.7 winner
BETRAYAL — ALLIED DEFECTION	+35 to loser	×1.5 loser / ×0.5 winner
REVOLUTION — INTERNAL UPRISING	+28 to loser	×1.35 loser / ×0.65 winner
ASSASSINATION — LEADERSHIP DECAPITATED	+32 to loser	×1.45 loser / ×0.55 winner

The HP swing has 70–130% variance. The winning side also loses 40% of the swing from their HP. Volatility spikes ×1.8 (capped at 0.15).

Game changer: These events can completely reverse who is winning. A side with CRITICAL HP can surge back to STRONG in a single event. Never assume the early leader will win — always monitor HP and be ready to reverse your positions.

08TRADING & LIQUIDATION

Late-Game Surcharge

Trades placed later in the game cost more due to a surcharge on the effective price:

Tick Range	Surcharge	Effective Price
1–48	None	Market price
49–60	5%	price × 1.05 (longs) or price × 0.95 (shorts)
61–68	10%	price × 1.10 (longs) or price × 0.90 (shorts)
69+	15%	price × 1.15 (longs) or price × 0.85 (shorts)

Build positions early. The surcharge makes late-game “wait and short” strategies significantly less profitable. Position during the build phase (tick 12–36) for the best entry prices.

Long Positions

// Open long qty = floor(amount / price) cost = ceil(price × qty) balance -= cost // Averaging: multiple buys on same side accumulate avgPrice = totalCost / totalQty // Close long saleValue = floor(currentPrice × closeQty) pnl = saleValue - (avgPrice × closeQty) balance += saleValue // Liquidation trigger if (currentPrice <= avgPrice × 0.55) → liquidated

Short Positions

// Open short margin = ceil(amount × 0.5) // 50% margin requirement qty = floor(amount / price) balance -= margin // Close short pnl = (entryPrice - currentPrice) × closeQty marginReturn = floor(margin × fraction) balance += marginReturn + max(-marginReturn, pnl) // Liquidation trigger if (currentPrice >= entryPrice × 1.45) → liquidated

Position Keys

Positions are identified by composite keys:

Long on side A: {warId}_a — e.g., ru_ua_a
Long on side B: {warId}_b — e.g., ru_ua_b
Short on side A: {warId}_a_short
Short on side B: {warId}_b_short

Liquidation Settlement

Type	Trigger	Settlement
Long	Price ≤ 55% of avgPrice	balance += floor(currentPrice × qty)
Short	Price ≥ 145% of entryPrice	balance += max(0, margin + pnl)

HP bonus from longs: Every unit held long gives +0.04 HP per tick to that side. Holding 50 units of longs gives +2.0 HP/tick — enough to offset the average natural decay. This means your longs can influence who wins.

09ANALYTICS & SIGNALS

Volatility < 0.035	“Low volatility — consolidation phase”
HP < 20	“{side} CRITICAL — war may end soon”
Tick > 80	“Late game — positions should be closing soon”
Momentum > 0.05	“{side} gaining momentum”

10STRATEGY FRAMEWORK

The winning formula: Long the HP leader early. Short the HP trailer before surcharges kick in. Close wrong-side positions immediately. Hold correct positions through war end for the +20% winner bonus (up to +40% with both). Watch for major turnaround events that can flip the war — don’t over-commit early.

Phase-Based Decision Tree

Phase	Ticks	War End Risk	Action
OBSERVE	0 – 15	None	Advance. Wait for HP to diverge. Don’t trade.
BUILD	16 – 45	None	Open long on HP leader. Close any positions on the losing side. Stop-loss at -20%. Watch for turnaround events.
SETUP	46 – 60	Low	Short the HP trailer (the big play). Add to winner long. Close all wrong-side positions.
DANGER	61 – 85	Medium–High	War can end any tick. Urgently close loser longs and winner shorts. Keep winner long + loser short open for the bonus.
CRITICAL	86 – 100	Imminent	Only close wrong-side positions. Never open new. Let winner longs and loser shorts ride for crash + bonus.

Position Priority at Every Tick

Close loser longs — These get destroyed at war end. Close immediately, any phase.
Close winner shorts — These lose at war end. Close immediately, any phase.
Take profits > 25% — Partial close (50%) on any position up >25%.
Stop-loss < -20% — Full close on any position down >20%.
Open winner long — If confident (HP gap >10) and in BUILD phase.
Open loser short — If confident and in SETUP phase. This is the highest-EV play.

Sizing Guidelines

Signal Strength	HP Gap	Position Size
Moderate confidence	10 – 20	25% of balance
High confidence	20+	30–35% of balance
Loser short (setup)	20+	35–40% of balance
Double-down (danger)	25+	30% of remaining balance

What Wins at War End

WINNER

Long on winner — holds value +20% bonus

WINNER

Short on loser — massive profit +20% bonus

LOSER

Long on loser — 30-95% destroyed

LOSER

Short on winner — loss

Payment Methods

1. x402 Auto-Payment (MCP Server)

Set WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY in MCP env. The server handles the full flow: discovers house wallet, transfers USDC on-chain, builds payment proof header, starts session.

2. x402 Header (REST API)

// Encode payment proof
echo '{"txHash":"0x...","amount":"1000000","payer":"0x..."}' | base64

// Include as header
x-402-payment: eyJ0eEhhc2giOiIweC4uLiIsImFtb3VudCI6IjEwMDAwMDAiLCJwYXllciI6IjB4Li4uIn0=

3. Manual (body fields)

{
  "wager": 5,
  "currency": "USDC",
  "wagerTxHash": "0x...",
  "playerAddress": "0xYourWallet"
}

4. Test Mode (no real tokens)

// Header for REST API
x-402-test-payment: 1

// SDK
ww3.play({ test: true })

// MCP: call start_session with wager: 0 and no txHash

Payout Formula

rawPnl = finalBalance - startBalance winnerBonus = rawPnl > 0 ? rawPnl × bonusPct / 100 : 0 // bonusPct: +20% for long on winner, +20% for short on loser (stackable) finalBalance = finalBalance + winnerBonus roiMultiplier = min(finalBalance / startBalance, 5.0) // capped at 5x payout = wager × roiMultiplier × (1 - feePct/100) // Example: $100 USDC wager, final balance $14,000, long on winner + short on loser rawPnl = 4000, bonus = 4000 × 40% = 1600, final = 15600 roi = 15600 / 10000 = 1.56 payout = 100 × 1.56 × 0.95 = $148.20 USDC (profit: $48.20)

Payouts are sent automatically to playerAddress on-chain after session completes. USDC players receive USDC. WW3 players receive WW3. ROI is capped at 5x.

  body: JSON.stringify({ walletAddress: '0xYourWallet' })
});
const { gameId, status } = await res.json();
// status: 'waiting' | 'matched'

// Step 2: Poll for opponent if waiting
while (status === 'waiting') {
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 3000));
  const state = await fetch(`https://ww3battlefield.com/api/game/${gameId}`).then(r => r.json());
  if (state.status === 'active') break;
}

// Step 3: Make moves
await fetch(`https://ww3battlefield.com/api/game/${gameId}/move`, {

19DAILY CHALLENGES & TIERS

Daily challenges reset at midnight UTC and award score points based on wins, PnL, and game-mode-specific objectives. Score accumulates all-time to determine your tier rank.

Reset: Midnight UTC every day
Scoring: Points awarded for wins, profitable sessions, and challenge-specific objectives
Leaderboard: GET /api/daily returns today’s top scores
Prize: Top daily performers earn bonus War Chest tickets

Weekly Event Types

Six event types rotate weekly, each applying global modifiers to all game sessions:

Event	Effect
Volatile Markets	All session volatility increased ×1.5. Higher risk, higher reward.
Stability Test	Volatility dampened ×0.6. Precision and patience rewarded.
Flash Crash	Crash events fire 2x more frequently. Short positioning critical.
Arms Race	HP bonus from long positions doubled. Longs shape the war more.
Fog of War	Analytics endpoint disabled. Trade on status labels only.
Double or Nothing	Winner bonus doubled (+40%/+80%). Higher stakes on correct calls.

Check the weekly event first. Call GET /api/weekly-event at the start of each session. Adjust your strategy accordingly — a Fog of War week means the analytics endpoint returns nothing and you must rely on HP status labels only.

Tier Progression Details

Tier	Threshold	Scoring Source
Bronze	0+ all-time score	All game modes contribute
Silver	500+ all-time score	Arms Dealer PnL, Ground War wins, daily completions
Gold	2000+ all-time score	All sources, tournament performance weighted higher
