🔐 Provably Fair

AntNest uses a provably fair system — every game outcome can be independently verified. You don't have to trust us; you can prove it yourself.

How It Works

We use a commit-reveal scheme:

1. Before the round: The server generates a secret serverSeed and publishes its hash (serverSeedHash) on-chain
2. During the round: You contribute a clientSeed (from your wallet signature or random input)
3. After the round: The server reveals the serverSeed — anyone can verify it matches the hash and recompute the exact result

result = hash(serverSeed + clientSeed + nonce)

Because the serverSeedHash is published before you place your bet, the server cannot change the outcome after seeing your bet.

Verifying a Result

Every completed round shows a Verify button. Click it to see:

• serverSeedHash (committed before round)
• serverSeed (revealed after round)
• clientSeed
• nonce (round number)

You can paste these into any SHA-256 tool and reproduce the exact result yourself.

On-Chain Settlement

Game results are settled on the Base blockchain. The smart contract:

• Holds player funds in escrow during a round
• Releases winnings immediately upon cash-out
• Cannot be modified by AntNest after deployment

Contract addresses are published on antnest.io and verifiable on Basescan.

House Edge

The house edge is 1.2% — applied by slightly discounting multipliers from their mathematically fair values.

Example for Mines (3 mines, 1 reveal):

• Fair multiplier: 25/24 = 1.042×
• With 1.2% edge: 1.042 × 0.988 = 1.029×

This is one of the lowest house edges in online gaming. It is not hidden — the exact formula is open-source.

Platform Fees

Separate from the house edge, a small platform fee is collected at settlement:

Outcome	Fee
Player wins	1% of net winnings
Player loses	0.2% of bet amount

These fees fund platform operations and flow to liquidity providers.

Smart Contract Audit

Our contracts have been reviewed internally. A third-party audit is planned — results will be published here when complete.
