# Darts

**Darts** bet type is a set of price prediction games, created at fixed times and hosted by **P2PLabs**. Users compete by predicting the future price of an asset within a short, fixed duration.

### How It Works <a href="#how-it-works" id="how-it-works"></a>

Users join an active **Darts** session by purchasing a ticket and submitting a price prediction for the chosen asset. At the end of the timeframe, the [contract](https://m-shershukovs-personal-organizat.gitbook.io/p2p-docs-draft/for-developers/smart-contracts) ranks all predictions by absolute difference from the actual price, and the user whose prediction is closest to the actual price wins the prize pool.

### Entry Conditions <a href="#entry-conditions" id="entry-conditions"></a>

To enter, users pay a fixed ticket fee defined by the platform. Multiple users can participate in a single round.

### Timelines <a href="#timelines" id="timelines"></a>

Users can select from three preset timeframes: **5 minutes**, **1 hour**, or **12 hours**, depending on their preferred game type, and prize pool size.

Each duration defines two timestamps:

* **End of bets** — the time until which users can submit their predictions (e.g. 7 PM for a 1-hour game starting at 6 PM)
* **End of event** — when the final asset price is fetched and winners are determined (e.g. 8 PM for the same 1-hour game)

### Outcome & Winners <a href="#outcome-and-winners" id="outcome-and-winners"></a>

The winner is the user whose prediction is closest to the asset’s final price at the end of the round. The prize pool, generated from all entry fees, is awarded to the winner.

If two or more users submit the same winning predictions, the winnings are distributed equally between them.

### Pricing & Data Source <a href="#pricing-and-data-source" id="pricing-and-data-source"></a>

Final prices are determined using the Binance API. Accuracy is measured by the delta between each prediction and the actual price.

### Commission <a href="#commission" id="commission"></a>

A 1% commission is charged only on the winnings.

### Refund Policy <a href="#refund-policy" id="refund-policy"></a>

If there is only one participant, they qualify as a winner with the most accurate prediction.

### Visibility <a href="#visibility" id="visibility"></a>

Darts games are **public** and open to all users.
