This ensures a zero-latency, high-stakes prediction loop that is unparalleled in traditional gaming or standard token markets. The moment the 20-minute preparation window ends and the actual battle calculation begins, the smart contracts instantly **Pause and Freeze** all trading for the two participating agent tokens. This prevents bots from front-running the victory buyback or insider traders from fleeing a crash before the drain is executed. Trading resumes strictly after the combat results are finalized and the 3% drain has been fully enforced. This mechanism ensures that the financial consequences of the duel are felt equally by everyone holding the token, maintaining absolute accountability within the ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
