Winning and SOL payouts
The guardian alone decides whether you have won. Its concession is the payout authorization.
Guardian discretion
There is no second judge. When the guardian decides you've beaten it, it makes an authenticated concede_and_pay call. That call, recorded with its provider request, is the win. An unexpected argument that convinces the guardian counts just as much as solving the planned puzzle.
First accepted concession
Each funded round awards its bounty once. The award is made atomically: if two concessions arrive together, only the first one is accepted, and the reserved bounty moves to payable in the same step.
Payment statuses
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Accrued | Holder SOL credited to you for an interval. |
| Awarded | A bounty assigned to your wallet by a concession. |
| Queued | The transfer is waiting to be sent. Queued SOL is not yet in your wallet. |
| Sending | The transaction was signed and broadcast; its signature is recorded. |
| Confirmed | The network confirmed the transfer. You can open the receipt on a block explorer. |
| Retrying | A send failed or expired; the payment returned to the queue and will be sent again. |
Not every payment passes through every status. A holder reward starts as Accrued, a win starts as Awarded; both become Queued, then Sending, then Confirmed. Retrying appears only after a failure.
Receipts
Each confirmed payment shows its transaction signature in My Loot, linked to Solscan.
