Beta Testing Phase

DUEL Protocol is currently in beta testing. All game mechanics are fully functional, but transactions are processed off-chain. Full on-chain integration on Solana is coming soon!

How DUEL Protocol Works

Master the mechanics of clan warfare. Understanding actions, timing, roles, and tokenomics is the key to victory in the DUEL arena.

Battle Actions

Four distinct actions to wage war. Each has unique costs, cooldowns, and strategic value.

Strike

10 DUEL

Attack to add power to your clan. The bread and butter of clan warfare.

Cooldown:1 min
Effect:1 Power per DUEL spent

Sabotage

50 DUEL

Reduce an enemy clan's power. Strategic disruption at its finest.

Cooldown:5 min
Effect:50% effectiveness (removes 0.5 Power per DUEL)
Max per Epoch:10

Shield

25 DUEL

Protect your clan from enemy sabotages. Defense wins championships.

Cooldown:2 min
Effect:0.8 Shield Points per DUEL, lasts 1 hour

Ultimate

500 DUEL

Devastating high-impact attack. Use wisely - limited per epoch.

Cooldown:6 hours
Effect:3x Power multiplier
Max per Epoch:3

Timing Windows

Strategic timing is everything. Hit these windows for powerful bonuses.

Final Strike Window

+20%
Last 10 minutes

Strikes in the final 10 minutes of an epoch receive a 20% power bonus. Clutch plays matter!

Early Sabotage Window

+15%
First 10 minutes

Sabotages in the first 10 minutes of an epoch are 15% more effective. Strike first!

Counter Shield

50% negation
60 seconds after sabotage

If your clan is sabotaged, deploying a shield within 60 seconds restores 50% of the damage dealt.

Combo Bonus

+10%
5+ members, 60 seconds

When 5 or more clan members perform actions within 60 seconds, everyone gets a 10% bonus.

Strategic Roles

Choose a role that matches your playstyle. Each provides unique bonuses to specialize your warfare.

Vanguard

-10% Strike Cost

Front-line striker specializing in offense. Reduced Strike costs make you the spearhead of every assault.

Defender

+15% Shield Strength

Shield specialist protecting the clan. Your enhanced shields are the wall that keeps enemies at bay.

Saboteur

-10% Sabotage Cost

Covert operative disrupting enemies. Cheaper Sabotages let you sow chaos more frequently.

Tactician

-10% Ultimate Cooldown

Strategic commander coordinating ultimates. Faster Ultimate recharge for devastating coordinated strikes.

Efficiency Tiers

Diminishing returns prevent whales from dominating. Spread your spending wisely across epochs.

1
Tier 1
100%
0 - 1,000 DUEL

Maximum efficiency. Every DUEL spent converts at full power.

2
Tier 2
70%
1,000 - 2,000 DUEL

Diminishing returns begin. Power conversion reduced to 70%.

3
Tier 3
40%
2,000+ DUEL

Heavy diminishing returns. Power conversion capped at 40%.

War Types

Two ways to wage war: targeted Challenges or open battlefield wars. Both require clan commitment.

Challenges (1v1)

Direct clan-to-clan warfare

1

Clan Issues Challenge

A clan leader or officer sends a direct challenge to another clan, setting the war terms.

2

Accept or Decline

The challenged clan has 24 hours to accept. If declined or ignored, the challenge expires.

3

Opt-In Phase (24-48h)

Both clans enter opt-in phase. Members must pledge minimum 10 DUEL to participate.

4

20% Threshold Check

At least 20% of BOTH clans must opt in. If either fails, war is cancelled and DUEL is refunded.

20% of BOTH clans must opt in, or war is cancelled

Open Wars

Clan-based battlefield

Clan-Based Only

Open Wars are ALWAYS between two clans. No free agents or individual participants.

Must Belong to Clan

You must be a member of one of the two clans involved to participate. Non-members cannot join.

20% Opt-In Threshold

At least 20% of one clan must explicitly opt in before the war goes live.

Explicit Opt-In Required

There is no "default participation." Every member must actively pledge DUEL to join the war.

Only wars relevant to your clan are shown

Participation & Rewards

How you join wars and earn rewards. Contribution is king—the more you fight, the more you earn.

All Members Eligible

Once a war goes active, ALL members of both clans can participate—not just those who opted in.

Contribution-Based Rewards

Your share of the reward pool is proportional to your DUEL spent during the war.

Losers Get Rewards Too

Even the losing side receives 10% of the pool, distributed by contribution.

No Freeze After Start

Once the war begins, there is no opt-in freeze. Jump in anytime during the battle.

How Contribution Works

500 DUEL
You spend in war
5,000 DUEL
Total clan spending
10%
Your reward share

Your share = Your Spend ÷ Clan Total Spend × Clan Reward Pool

Clan Rules

Leaving a clan has permanent consequences. Your loyalty is your legacy.

Leaving a Clan

This action cannot be undone

History Erased

All clan-specific history is permanently erased when you leave. War stats, contribution records, and unclaimed rewards are lost forever.

No Carryover

Nothing transfers to your new clan. Your reputation starts from zero. You cannot rejoin the same clan for 7 days.

Confirm to Leave

A confirmation modal will require you to check a box acknowledging this reset before leaving.

What You Lose

  • • All war participation history
  • • All contribution records and stats
  • • Any unclaimed rewards from that clan
  • • Your role and rank within the clan

Tokenomics

Every DUEL spent is transparently split between rewards, burns, and treasury.

Spending Split

20%
Reward Pool

Fairness Safeguard

MAX 25%

No single participant can claim more than 25% of the reward pool per epoch. This anti-whale measure ensures fair distribution and prevents monopolization.

Technology & Roadmap

Beta

DUEL Protocol is designed for Solana blockchain. We're currently in beta testing with full on-chain integration coming soon.

Current Status: Beta Testing

  • All game mechanics fully functional
  • Create clans, execute actions, compete in wars
  • Wallet authentication via Phantom/Solflare
  • Transactions processed off-chain (no gas fees during beta)
  • Full Solana smart contract integration coming soon

Solana Native

Built for Solana with sub-second finality. Smart contracts (Anchor programs) will handle all on-chain game logic.

Verifiable Results

War outcomes and reward distributions will be fully verifiable on-chain. Transparent and tamper-proof.

Non-Custodial

Your DUEL tokens will stay in your wallet until you execute an action. Rewards claimable directly to your wallet.

Coming Soon: Full On-Chain Integration

1
Sign action with your wallet
2
Transaction sent to Solana
3
Smart contract executes
4
State updated on-chain

All transactions will be permanent and publicly verifiable on Solana blockchain explorers

Ready to Battle?

Now that you understand the mechanics, it's time to join a clan and prove your worth in the arena. Victory awaits the strategic and the bold.
