You never need CHANCE to play — every bet is placed and can be paid out entirely in USDG.
Where CHANCE enters the picture
- Winners can claim in CHANCE. Choosing
claimAsChancespends the full USDG payout buying CHANCE on the V4 pool at claim time. See Claiming and Acquiring. - Stakers can earn in CHANCE. House-win shares for CHANCE-mode stakers are converted on the same pool. See Staking rewards.
- House wins buy CHANCE. A portion of every house win (weighted by staker reward modes) is spent on the pool — gameplay itself creates structural buy pressure.
Two properties that shape everything
- Transfer-locked by default. CHANCE is not freely transferable between wallets until the lock is lifted. Gameplay claims, reward paths, and pool swaps work; P2P sends don’t. Details: Transfer lock.
- Sells are always open. CHANCE→USDG swaps through the public Uniswap V4 router are allowed for anyone, even under the lock. Buys on the pool are gated. Details: Selling.
