Survival with a paycheck.
Every single day is a new chance: make the top 30 on the daily leaderboard and you split the SOL pool, paid DAILY. Here's exactly how the engine works.
Live figures, pulled straight from the DEAD BLOCK servers. The pool grows as creator fees land.
The Rewards Engine
Four steps, every single day.
Play the Map of the Day
Every day one map takes the spotlight. Runs on the Map of the Day log a verified score to the daily leaderboard. Longer survival and higher rounds mean a higher rank.
The Pool Fills
50% of all creator fees flow into the daily reward pool, denominated in SOL, growing all day.
Rank Locks
At 00:00 UTC the board snapshots. The day's top 30 survivors are locked in for a payout.
Auto-Payout
SOL is sent automatically to each winner's connected wallet within minutes of 00:00 UTC. The board resets. New night, new pool.
The Split
Where the pool goes.
The daily pool is divided across the top 30. The higher you place, the bigger your cut.
Every rank on the board carries its own fixed share, and all 30 shares together claim 100% of the daily pool. Distribution subject to change before launch.
Fair play, enforced.
When money is on the line, scores aren't taken on faith. Runs are server-validated, statistical outliers are flagged and reviewed, and confirmed cheating means forfeited rewards and a ban. The board only pays legitimate survivors. The full 15-layer pipeline is documented on the anti-cheat page.
