# Guaranteed Prizes

We wanted to make every round more exciting for everyone, not just the jackpot winner.

**Guaranteed Prizes** are bonus rewards distributed to multiple players after each round. These prizes come from the BeatPot treasury and are separate from the main jackpot.

Think of it this way:

* **Main Jackpot**: One big winner takes all if there is a winning ticket in that round
* **Guaranteed Prizes**: Multiple players win smaller prizes ever round

This means more chances to win something every round.

## How It Works

#### 1. Play a Round

Buy tickets in any BeatPot round as you normally would. Each ticket you purchase increases your chances of winning both the main jackpot AND guaranteed prizes.

#### 2. Round Completes

After the round ends and the main winner is determined, the guaranteed prize distribution begins.

#### 3. Winners Selected

Multiple players are randomly selected to receive guaranteed prizes. The more tickets you hold, the higher your chances of being selected.

#### 4. Prizes Distributed

Winners receive their WHYPE tokens directly to their wallets via an on-chain transaction.

### Who Can Win?

To be eligible for guaranteed prizes:

* **Buy tickets** in the round (minimum threshold required)
* **Not be the main jackpot winner** (we spread the love - jackpot winners are excluded from guaranteed prizes)
* **One prize per wallet** per round

#### Fair Selection

Winners are selected using weighted random selection:

* More tickets = higher chance of winning
* But even small ticket holders have a chance
* Selection is provably fair using on-chain randomness

### Adaptive Prize Pool

The guaranteed prize pool is **adaptive** - it learns and adjusts based on player activity over time.

#### How It Adapts

* **Higher participation** → Prize pool increases to reward the community
* **Lower participation** → Prize pool adjusts conservatively
* **Learning system** → The algorithm tracks how prizes affect participation and optimizes over time

This means the system automatically finds the sweet spot that maximizes rewards for players while keeping the prize pool sustainable.

#### What This Means For You

* Prize amounts aren't fixed - they grow with the community
* More players = bigger prize pools
* The system rewards active rounds with better prizes
