What is King Pile?
King Pile is a king-of-the-hill game on Solana. One player at a time holds the crown on top of a pile of coins. Taking the crown costs SOL, adds to the pot, and resets a 2:00 clock. Whoever is king when the pile falls wins the pot.
How do I take the crown?
Connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare or Backpack) and press Take the crown. The first take of a round costs 0.05 SOL and each take after that costs 2% more. The exact price is always shown before you sign.
When does the pile fall?
Every second is a roll, so it can fall at any moment, and it always falls by 2:00. The chance per second climbs as the clock runs: 0.025% for the first 40 seconds, 0.25% until 80, 1% until 105, then 4% until 2:00.
What do I win?
If you're king when the pile falls you're paid 75% of the pot automatically, and the other 25% starts the next round's pot.
What is the King's Ransom?
1 round in 25 is a King's Ransom. The Royal Treasury, which fills from the coin's creator fees, drops into that round's pot, and the king takes 100% of it when it falls.
Where does my SOL go?
92% of every take goes into the pot, 2% buys back and burns the coin, 2% buys the coin for stakers, and 4% goes to the house.
What if someone takes it at the same moment?
Takes are processed in the order they land on Solana. If yours arrives after someone else raised the price, or after the pile already fell, it doesn't count and you get the full amount back automatically.
Is it fair?
Each round's fall times come from a secret seed. Its hash is published while the round is live and the seed is revealed afterwards, so anyone can check that the fall wasn't changed.
