DRIFT is a kart racing game that runs in your browser. There is nothing to download and no account to make: type a name, pick a colour and drive.

There are two ways to race. Quick play is free and puts you on a grid in seconds. Prize rooms are races between players where the podium is paid in SOL from the prize pool.

The prize pool is filled by the creator fees of the coin. The more the coin trades, the more every prize race pays.

Driving

• W / A / S / D or the arrow keys: accelerate, steer, brake.
• Space or Shift: drift. Hold it while turning, release it for a boost. Blue sparks are a small boost, orange sparks a big one.
• Boost pads: the glowing arrows on the straights.
• Rocket start: press the throttle just as the lights turn green.
• The run-off beside the road halves your speed. The barrier costs more.
• Gamepads work. On a phone, use the buttons on the screen.

Every race is three laps on one of three tracks: Neon Harbor, Sunset Ridge and Glacier Run.

Quick play

Press QUICK PLAY. You are placed on a grid, the race starts within seconds, and when it ends the next one starts by itself. Quick play is free and pays no prizes. Your wins and best laps still count on the leaderboard.

Prize rooms

1. Press Create a prize room. Choose public (listed on the Rooms page) or private (join by code only).
2. Share the 4-letter code or the invite link. Other players join from the Rooms page or by typing the code.
3. Everyone presses I am ready.
4. When at least 2 players are ready, each on their own connection, and everyone in the room is ready, the race starts three seconds later.
5. If enough players are ready but somebody is not, a 20 second clock runs. Then the race starts without them and they watch it.

Prize rooms are players only: the grid is exactly the people in the room, up to eight. After the results everyone readies up again for the next race.

The prize pool

Every trade of the coin pays a creator fee. Those fees are claimed automatically and 100% of what each claim brings in is added to the prize pool. Nothing else goes in, and the pool can never pay out more than the fees brought in.

When a prize race starts it sets aside 10% of what is in the pool at that moment, up to 0.05 SOL per race. After the burn share, the rest is split between the podium: 60% for first, 20% for second, 20% for third.

• Two players in the race: first place is paid.
• Three players: first and second are paid.
• Four or more: all three podium places are paid.

Money for a place nobody won stays in the pool. The exact amounts of a race are shown in the lobby, during the race and in the results.

Buyback and burn

2% of every prize race's cut is set aside. Once enough has gathered, it buys the coin on the market and burns every token it bought. The Stats page shows how much SOL has gone into buybacks and how many tokens are gone for good, with the transactions.

Getting paid

1. Finish in a paid place of a prize race.
2. A card appears: paste your Solana wallet address and press Get paid.
3. The SOL is sent within seconds. The card shows the transaction.

You can save your address on the Profile page so it is filled in for you. A prize that is not claimed within 24 hours goes back into the pool.

Fair play

• One prize per connection in each race.
• A prize race needs players on different connections: two tabs on one connection cannot start one.
• A lap faster than the kart can physically go is flagged and wins nothing.
• Every payout, buyback and fee claim is written to the ledger and shown on the Stats page.

The coin

The contract address appears in the header of this site the moment the coin is created, with a copy button and a link to trade it. Do not trust an address from anywhere else.

The coin has not been created yet.

Questions

Do I need a wallet to play?

No. You only paste a wallet address when you have won a prize.

Does it cost anything?

No. Quick play and prize rooms are both free to enter.

Why does a prize race pay less than before?

It pays a share of the pool. When the pool is smaller the prizes are smaller, and they grow again as fees come in.
