Pump Karts
Project Overview
A 3D kart racing game, built fully on-chain on Solana. Playable in the browser today.
Abstract
Pump Karts is a real-time 3D kart racer built fully on-chain on Solana. Every stake, payout, and token burn settles on-chain and is independently verifiable. Pump Karts is live and playable today, with a complete loop of competitive modes, an on-chain token economy, and retention systems already in production.
The product
Pump Karts is server-authoritative. Race results, positions, items, and outcomes are resolved on the server, so every client renders identical state, while all value such as entries, prizes, and burns moves on-chain. The roster features characters drawn from the Solana ecosystem, and races run on a purpose-built track, Pump Park.
Game modes
- Tournaments. Players race the field, and the top three split the prize pool, settled on-chain.
- 1v1 Duels. Best-of-three races for a custom stake in SOL or $KARTS. The winner takes 90% of the pot.
- Rug Rumble. A weapons-based battle arena where karts fight it out, and the player with the most knockouts comes out on top.
- Spectator betting. Anyone can place pari-mutuel bets on a live duel, and the winning side splits the entire pool, pro-rata to each bet.
- Live race watching. Spectators follow any duel in real time on a 2D track map showing positions, laps, and the leader.
Engagement and retention
- Daily and weekly quests spanning racing, winning, dueling, betting, and sharing.
- A weekly points leaderboard that resets every Monday, with rewards for the top of the board.
- A sticker maker that lets the community generate character stickers as organic content.
Token and economy
$KARTS is the native token and the core of the on-chain economy.
- Deflationary by design: 10% of every $KARTS duel pot is burned each match, reducing supply as play volume grows.
- Community rewards: SOL duels route 10% of each pot to a community rewards pool earmarked for player distribution.
- Fully verifiable: every entry, payout, and burn settles on-chain. A public, real-time stats dashboard reports total burned, volume, and top players.
Current status
Everything described above is live and playable today, not a roadmap. The competitive modes, the token economy, the quest and leaderboard systems, spectator betting and live-watch, and the public stats dashboard are all in production.
