Do I need a crypto wallet to play?+
No. Sign up with your email and we'll handle that all for you. Crypto bros can connect external wallets as well, if they prefer. You will need USDC on Arbitrum, though. All the details for depositing and bridging are in the app.
How are predictions scored?+
Each game is split into a large number of checkpoints. At each checkpoint, we compare your drawn line to the actual price. The closer you are, the more points you get. Scores accumulate live so you can see who's winning; whoever finishes with the most points wins.
What does a game cost?+
Each game has a custom buy-in set by the game creator, and you can create games with any buy-in value. Buy-ins are in USDC on Arbitrum, from 0.1 USDC up.
What charts can I predict?+
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Chainlink are the four charts currently available, all priced in US dollars. We plan to add more trading pairs, including non-crypto assets, in future.
Can I change my prediction after I've drawn it?+
Yes. You can redraw as many times as you like before you hit Confirm. Once confirmed, your prediction is locked for the rest of the game. No refunds after that (unless the game fails due to technical issues).
What happens if I lose connection mid-game?+
Nothing bad. Your prediction is locked the moment you confirm, so the game plays out whether you're watching or not. Rejoin any time to spectate or check the score.
If you win, your prize will be automatically sent to your wallet, so you don't even have to be online to claim it.
Can I play multiple games at once?+
Yes. Join as many rooms as you like; each prediction is independent. Your active games sit in the sidebar so you can jump between them.
Can I create private rooms?+
Not yet. All rooms are public for now. Private rooms for friends and squads are on the roadmap.
How do payouts actually work?+
Winnings are auto-distributed by the platform when the game ends, with no claim required. You do need to claim your rank points, though. Find your finished games in "My Games" or in your notifications bar.
How do I unlock new aircraft?+
Win games and climb the pilot ranks. Each rank unlocks the next aircraft in the hangar. Aircraft are earned, never bought, and they carry over between seasons.
How do you prevent cheating and bots?+
Prices come from the Chainlink oracle feed. We can't nudge them and neither can you. Predictions are timestamped server-side and scoring is deterministic. On the roadmap: on-chain commitments, so every prediction is hashed and locked to the chain at confirm time.
What networks are supported?+
Everything runs on Arbitrum One. We recommend using the Privy embedded wallet (email login) and you won't have to worry about chains.
Can I play on mobile?+
Airlinez is desktop/laptop only at the moment, although we would love to build a mobile version in 2027. It's very well suited to touchscreen play.
