VERSUS, LITEPAPER

TRADING TURNED INTO A 1V1 RANKED GAME

Versus is a short 1v1 trading duel between two players on the same simulated chart, with the same rules and the same timer. Instead of trading alone on a terminal, you queue into defined matches, climb divisions and play seasons.

01, PROBLEM

“Just trading” is not a fair match.

For many active traders, the current experience has issues:

  • No clear rounds, only continuous entries and exits.
  • No fair 1v1 context – everyone is thrown into the same ocean.
  • Learning is expensive, usually done live and under stress.
  • Community and memes live outside, in chats and screenshots.

02, APPROACH

Turn it into structured 1v1 arenas.

Versus defines trading as a match:

  • Two players, one shared simulated market.
  • Fixed rules for entries, exits, power-ups and risk.
  • Short duels with a clear result: one player wins.
  • Divisions and seasons that measure consistency, not one lucky trade.

03, CORE LOOP

From queue to result with defined timings.

A standard duel follows a simple structure:

  • Queue: choose ladder, mode and size, then join the queue. Typical wait: around 10–15 seconds (depends on player base).
  • Matchmaking: system looks for a player with similar division and recent form.
  • Countdown: 3 seconds. Both players see the same initial state.
  • Duel: around 3 minutes of active play on a shared simulated chart.
  • Resolution: about 3 seconds to compute P&L or win condition and declare the winner.
  • Meta layer: divisions, streaks, stats and (where relevant) rewards are updated.

The goal is that you can play one duel or a short session without turning it into an endless grind.

04, LADDERS & DIVISIONS

Two ladders, one identity, ocean-based ranks.

Two ladders:

  • DIGITZ ladder: in-game currency only, no real money. Same logic as real duels, but risk-free. Used to learn, test and play.
  • USDT ladder: same game rules, but with USDT at stake. Fixed sizes per duel and caps by design. Can be linked to prize pools and tournaments.

Both share the same identity and divisions, so your profile feels like one continuous career, whether you are training in DIGITZ or playing USDT matches.

Divisions:

Progression is ocean-themed (Plankton, Shrimp, Fih, Crab, Dolphin, Shark, Whale, Orca, Kraken). Behind that, the system looks at:

  • Winrate and recent trend.
  • Number of duels played.
  • Strength of opponents.

Badges are meant to reflect real time spent in the arena, not a single lucky run.

05, WHO IT IS FOR

Players Versus is designed around.

Versus focuses on people who already think in terms of competition:

  • Competitive traders who track their performance and want a fair 1v1 context.
  • Competitive gamers used to ranks, MMR and clear rules, curious about crypto and trading.
  • Degens and memecoin farmers who like hunting opportunities and airdrops, but want a structured arena instead of only random plays.
  • Communities and tournaments that need a place to host leagues and events with transparent rules.

06, RISK & SUPPORT

What Versus is, and how to support it.

Versus is a competitive trading game, not an exchange, broker or investment advisor. Playing USDT duels means you can lose 100% of the funds you decide to risk in those matches. Nothing here is financial advice.
