How FWC works.

FWC is a pre-launch sportsbook and token venue for the 2026 World Cup. The site stays in pre-launch through the opening whistle on Thursday June 11, 2026; from that moment on, three primitives go live:

1. Match betting — SOL-denominated parimutuel pools on every fixture (match result, both teams to score, over/under, plus tournament-wide outrights).
2. Nation coins — one Pump.fun token per qualified nation, 48 tokens, all launched on the same bonding curve standard.
3. $FWC hub — a single platform token that captures fees from both streams via a transparent buy-and-burn loop.

Pre-launch you can already lock two things on this site: a bet reservation (your stake plus pick for a future market), and a coin pre-buy(your SOL allocation into a nation's token at the moment it deploys). Both are signed Solana transfers to the platform treasury — verifiable on Solscan and recorded in the public reservation ledger.

All betting is parimutuel — every stake on a market goes into the same pool, the platform skims a fixed house edge, and the remaining pool is split between winning tickets pro-rata to their stake.

The parimutuel model removes counterparty risk entirely: there is no "house" on the other side of your bet — only the rest of the pool. Odds drift in real time as new stake comes in, and the final price is determined at kickoff.

• Match result (1X2) — home win, draw, away win.
• BTTS — both teams to score (yes / no).
• O/U 2.5 — total goals over or under.
• Outrights — tournament winner, reach final, reach semi, reach quarter, top scorer.

Each of the 48 qualified nations gets its own SPL token on Pump.fun. The full set launches as a synchronized batch on June 11, 2026 at 17:00 CT — two hours before the opening match. Same supply, same curve, same launch parameters across all 48.

Tokens are tradeable on Pump.fun and any AMM aggregator the moment they deploy. The platform takes the canonical Pump.fun creator share of every trade — across both the bonding curve and the post-graduation AMM — and routes that share into the buy-and-burn loop described below.

$FWC is the platform token. Its single function is to be the destination of every fee the venue generates — captured in SOL, deployed as a market buy, and burnt to the canonical Solana incinerator.

The two revenue streams

• Pump.fun creator fees— every trade of the 49 platform tokens (48 nations + $FWC) generates the canonical creator share, which accumulates to the platform treasury's creator-vault PDAs (one per Pump program).
• House edge on bets — 3.5 % of every settled parimutuel pool is retained by the platform program and drained to the treasury after settlement.

The cycle (every 6 hours)

Every cycle produces three signatures that anyone can verify on-chain. The burn page exposes them as soon as the first cycle settles.

The bonding curve's first trades have the largest price impact — the people who get in earliest get the best price. Coin pre-buys put you at the front of that queue.

• Each reservation is a real on-chain transfer. The ledger of every reservation is public — view yours in the Portfolio page with a Solscan link per row.
• Reservations are immutable — you cannot un-send SOL. Treat each reservation as a committed pre-buy.
• Pre-buys are limit-orders by intent, not by guarantee — first-block inclusion depends on Solana congestion at launch.

Same UX, different market: instead of allocating SOL into a coin, you allocate SOL into a future betting market. The outright winner board lets you reserve any of the four progression markets:

• Outright winner — lifts the trophy.
• Reach the final — top two of the bracket.
• Reach the semi-final — final four.
• Reach the quarter-final — top eight.

The flow is identical to coin pre-buys: Phantom signs a SOL transfer to the treasury, the server verifies it on-chain, and the row is committed to the public ledger. At kickoff the treasury opens parimutuel tickets at the prevailing pool price using your reserved SOL.

The platform is non-custodial. The site never holds your SOL or your tokens — every action either reads from Solana, or asks your wallet to sign a transaction. The two on-chain programs involved are upstream and audited:

Creator fees accrue to a Program Derived Address (PDA) owned by the bonding-curve program. The platform deliberately does not use the one-time creator-fee-share lock, so 100 % of fees flow into the same treasury and into the same burn loop.

FWC is offered to users of legal age in jurisdictions where parimutuel betting on Solana is permitted. Users are responsible for compliance with their local laws.

• Token allocations are speculative and may go to zero.
• The platform is non-custodial — no recovery service exists for lost private keys.
• Past tournament results do not guarantee future performance, regardless of how seriously the power-rating gauge takes itself.
