3. Philosophy and Design Rationale

The protocol is built on three non-negotiable pillars to ensure long-term trust and sustainability:

• Fairness Over Optimization: We prioritize player trust over short-term revenue. There are no hidden variables or "insider" advantages; every participant operates under the same transparent rules.

• Visibility & Explicit Risk: All parameters - entry fees, participant limits, and reward distributions - are fixed and known before a round begins. Risk is an informed choice, not a surprise.

• Infrastructure, Not Just a Game: The architecture separates randomness and settlement from specific game logic. This allows the arena to host various competitive modes while maintaining the same security guarantees.
