Small rats. Big trouble.

Free to try. Test USDC on devnet.

Pools are open.

How a match works

Drop in. Fight.
Get paid.

  1. Drop in

    Pick a pool and stake once. The room fills to forty rats, and six staked rats are enough to start.

  2. Fight for it

    Kills and the moving zone score points. Jetpacks, grenades, seven weapons. Five minutes, ten in the big pools.

  3. Get paid

    The top three split 90% of the pool, 50/30/20. The escrow pays them when the match ends. Nobody has to claim.

On devnet, every pool uses test USDC.

Inside the arena

FAQ

Good questions.

What is RatPool?

A real-time multiplayer 2D arena shooter. Build a sewer rat, join a pool and fight up to thirty-nine other players. Finish in the top three by score to win a share of the pool.

Is it free to play?

Yes. Free Play costs nothing and the pistol is yours forever. Weapons you buy in the store work in Free Play too, and you can switch between them mid-match. Free Play is you against bots, any time.

Staked pools are optional, for when you want your skill to earn.

What is devnet and test USDC?

RatPool runs on Solana devnet, a test network. Stakes and payouts use test USDC, not real money.

Do I need crypto experience?

No. Sign in with Google and play like any other game. Your wallet is created for you by Privy, a wallet provider, and nobody at RatPool holds your keys.

Want extra security? Back up your wallet's private key from your Profile and keep it somewhere safe.

Is it pay-to-win?

No. Everyone in a pool stakes the same, and the shop only sells weapons with real trade-offs. Skill decides the fight. The store never sells a bigger share of the pool.

Does my progress carry over?

Yes. Your rat, every weapon you buy, your settings and your record follow your Google account on every device.
