UpDown is a community-driven prediction platform built on the Solana blockchain. It is not a licensed gambling, betting, or trading platform. UpDown does not offer financial advice, investment services, or trading services of any kind.

Participation in UpDown pools is entirely voluntary. Users interact directly with on-chain smart contracts on Solana. The platform acts as a neutral interface to these contracts and does not custody, control, or manage user funds at any point. All deposits, payouts, and refunds are executed by the smart contract.

UpDown is an experimental community project within the Solana ecosystem. It is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. Users participate at their own risk and are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the laws and regulations of their jurisdiction.

By using UpDown, you acknowledge that:

UpDown is a community prediction game where participants express opinions on the short-term price direction of cryptocurrency assets. It operates using a parimutuel pool model: participants on the winning side share the pool proportionally.

The platform does not act as a counterparty to any prediction. There is no house edge — the platform fee (3-5% based on user level) is the only revenue. All funds flow between participants via smart contracts.

UpDown does not facilitate the purchase, sale, or exchange of any securities, commodities, or financial instruments. USDC used on the platform is a stablecoin held in user wallets and transferred via on-chain smart contracts only when users explicitly sign transactions.

UpDown collects minimal data. We do not collect personal information such as names, emails, phone numbers, or physical addresses. No KYC is required.

DATA WE STORE

DATA WE DO NOT STORE

All on-chain data (transactions, pool states, token balances) is inherently public on the Solana blockchain and viewable by anyone via block explorers. Off-chain data (XP, chat messages, referral stats) is stored in our database and associated only with your wallet address — not with any personal identity.

UpDown uses Privy for wallet authentication. Privy provides enterprise-grade key management for embedded wallets. If you use an external wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.), your keys remain entirely under your control.

UpDown never has access to your private keys, seed phrases, or signing authority. Every transaction requires your explicit approval via wallet signature.

Smart contract vaults (PDAs) that hold pool funds are controlled exclusively by the on-chain program. No person, server, or admin can unilaterally move funds from a vault.
