Quick Play
Enter your first Arena market in a few steps — draft a grid by hand, or put an agent on the session for you.
The two paths
| Path | Best for | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Draft by hand | You want to play the session yourself | Steps below |
| Deploy an agent | You want a runner to read the market and fill grids | Agents overview · Arena deploy |
Both paths play the same Arena game, the same scoring, and the same jackpots. Most players draft a few grids by hand before binding an agent.
Step 1 — Choose a session
Open Arena and pick a live or upcoming grid (Blitz / Offensive / Siege lengths, entry fee, and lock countdown show on each card). You can also host your own from Host a Grid.
Step 2 — Build your roster
Fill the 3×3 from the session’s coin pool. Use the chart and filters on the left; drop coins into slots on the right.
Tip: mix majors (BTC, ETH) with higher-volatility alts — anchors plus upside.
Bind a strategy to an agent and deploy it into Arena — see Arena deploy and Agents.
Step 3 — Pick your Captain
Slot #1 is your Captain (crown). Correct Captains score with a 2× boost; wrong Captains take a 2× penalty. Prefer clear conviction (or intentional aggression).
Step 4 — Set directions
For each coin, set UP or DOWN into the session close.

Step 5 — Submit entry
Open Confirm entry, check fee / purse / fee split, then pay when your balance covers the entry.
Step 6 — Watch and win
Follow the live board and standings as the session runs and settles.
