How Contests Work

Meme contests with real token prizes on Base. Communities submit memes, hold-to-vote picks the winners, and payouts happen automatically — no middleman handing out prizes.

🎨 The 30-second version

1

A creator funds a prize pool

Any token project picks a prize amount, a payout split, and a deadline, then funds the pool up front.

2

The community enters & votes

People submit memes and vote for their favorites. Holding a little of the token keeps out spam.

3

Winners get paid automatically

When the timer ends, the top memes are paid straight to their wallets. The whole pool goes out.

🚀 Creating a contest

1

Connect your wallet & pick your token

Choose any Base token from your wallet as the prize token.

2

Set the prize pool & payout split

Pick how much to give away and how it's divided — see the splits below.

3

Choose a duration

Anywhere from 1 hour to 30 days. Short contests are great for quick hype; longer ones for bigger reach.

4

Optional: charge an entry fee

Turn on a small entry fee to grow the prize pool as people join (and cut down spam).

5

Fund it

Send the prize pool + the platform fee. That's the last thing you do — everything after is automatic.

Payout splits

TemplateSplit
Winner takes all100% to 1st
Top 360% / 25% / 15%
Top 540% / 25% / 15% / 12% / 8%

If fewer people enter than there are prize places, the split is normalized so the whole pool is still paid out to the entrants who showed up.

đŸ–ŧī¸ Entering a contest

đŸŽŸī¸
Hold a little of the token. You need to hold at least the contest's vote-requirement in $LOVE — or in the contest's own token — in your wallet to enter or vote. Each contest sets this from $1 to $10 (bigger-prize contests set it higher to keep bots out). It's shown right on the contest page.
1ī¸âƒŖ
One entry per wallet. Submit your best meme — an image plus a title.
💸
Pay-to-enter (if enabled). Some contests also charge an entry fee to submit — this is on top of the $1 hold above. 95% goes straight into the prize pool and 5% is the platform fee. More entries = bigger prize. (Voting is always free — the fee is only to enter.)

đŸ—ŗī¸ Voting

â¤ī¸
One wallet, one vote. You can change your vote any time before the contest ends — it just moves to your new pick.
🔒
Hold to vote. Same as entering — hold the contest's vote requirement ($1–$10, set per contest) in $LOVE or the contest token. Real skin in the game, not bots. Higher-stakes contests set a higher bar so a vote actually costs something.
đŸšĢ
No voting for yourself. You can't vote on your own entry.
🔍
Votes are verified before payout. Every vote is checked before prizes go out. Your voting wallet must still hold the contest's vote requirement in LOVE (or the contest token) when the contest closes — not just when you voted — or the vote is purged. Bot farming (passing the same tokens between wallets to stack votes) is detected on-chain and those votes are removed. Real holders, real votes, real winners.

🏆 Winning & payouts

📊
Ranked by votes. The most-voted memes take the top places, split by the payout template.
⚡
Ties go to whoever entered first. If two memes finish with the same number of votes, the one submitted earlier wins the higher place. Enter early!
🤖
Automatic payout. When the timer ends, prizes are sent straight to winners' wallets — no claiming, no waiting on the creator. Each payout is on-chain and linked from the contest page.
â†Šī¸
No entries? Full refund. If nobody enters, the entire prize pool is returned to the creator.

đŸ’ĩ Fees (fully transparent)

â€ĸ
5% of the prize pool — taken when the contest is funded.
â€ĸ
5% of each entry fee — the other 95% grows the prize pool.

That's it — a flat 5% on everything, shown up front when you create a contest and when you enter. Winners get the rest.
