# Coins, Prize Fund and Commission Platform

[Metarchy](https://metarchy.gitbook.io/welcome-to-metarcy/metarchy) is played on the *decentralized platform*.

For betting, [players](https://metarchy.gitbook.io/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/constituents/players) use the *coin platform*, which eliminates fraud Inside the platform, coins are traded to other platform tokens, but nothing prevents platform users from trading *coins* on marketplaces outside the platform.

To play on bets, each side ([player or team](https://metarchy.gitbook.io/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/terms/player-and-team)) must drop an equal number of *coins* into the *prize pool* (send to the smart contract) 

*Coins* in the *prize pool* are "frozen" for the duration of the [game](https://metarchy.gitbook.io/welcome-to-metarcy/metarchy), and "unfreeze" after the [game](https://metarchy.gitbook.io/welcome-to-metarcy/metarchy) is over as soon as the winner is known 

After the defrost, 99.5% of the *prize pool* is sent to the winner of the [game](https://metarchy.gitbook.io/welcome-to-metarcy/metarchy), while 0.5% of the *prize fund* is sent to support the *platform*, and distributed to the Community Pool (0.1%), Validators Pool (0.2%) and Unconditional Income (0.2%)

*Coins* are used not only as [bets](https://metarchy.gitbook.io/welcome-to-metarcy/game-review/terms/game-and-bets) but also as a unit of measurement of "voice power" on proposals that concern: choosing sponsors of championships (advertisers' choice) and adding new games to the platform

*Coins* are also used to create tasks for other platform users, to create useful-nft, and to ensure the functioning of the NFT auction and NFT-lombard
