$SCAD Whitepaper

1. Introduction

Scadium is a decentralized betting platform built on the Solana blockchain that enables ultra-fast, frictionless gaming through its core offerings: Crash, Coinflip, Jackpot and an on-chain Lottery. Players connect their wallets directly, play in SOL (the PancakeSwap-style 6-digit lottery buys tickets and pays pooled prizes in $SCAD), and enjoy provably fair gameplay with cryptographic verification. Once on-chain settlement goes live, every bet settlement, token claim, swap and lottery draw becomes a real Solana transaction (play-money beta today).

2. Mission & Vision

Build the most transparent play-to-earn platform on Solana: server-authoritative gameplay for speed, the chain for custody and proof. Nothing the house does is invisible — seeds are committed on-chain before play, results are revealed and asserted on-chain after, and the token economy runs through public transactions anyone can audit.

3. Tokenomics

$SCAD is a pure Proof-of-Play mining token with a fixed supply. At a glance:

  • Total supply: 1,000,000,000 (fixed max, 1000M)
  • Mineable (Play-to-Earn): 500M (50%) — emitted to players over time
  • Team: 100M (10%) — vested, locked before launch

Full six-way allocation:

  • Play-to-Earn emission (mineable): 50% (500M)
  • Community / Airdrop: 10% (100M)
  • Liquidity: 10% (100M)
  • Treasury / Ecosystem / MM: 15% (150M)
  • Team: 10% (100M)
  • Strategic: 5% (50M)

Proof-of-Play mining (4-year halving): $SCAD is emitted in hourly blocks whose subsidy halves every 4 years, Bitcoin-style. The first era mints ≈ 7,134 $SCAD per hour (about half the 500M mineable pool over the first 4years); each era halves, draining the pool over a long tail. Every block is split among that hour's players by play-rate (how much you wagered, scaled by your loyalty tier); 10% of every block goes to a weighted-random big-reward draw, and staked $SCAD earns a passive play-rate (1% of your stake per hour) so holders keep mining even while idle.

Loyalty mining tiers: lifetime wager earns a permanent play-rate multiplier — ×1.00 (0+ SOL), ×1.10 (10+ SOL), ×1.25 (100+ SOL), ×1.50 (1,000+ SOL). Cashback accrues separately at 32 $SCAD per 1 SOL of net losses. Mining rewards, cashback and dividends are all claimable on-chain at any time.

4. The SCAD Engine — Stake, Earn USDS & Vault

The SCAD Engine turns play into yield. Net Gaming Revenue (NGR = bets − wins − rewards) is shared back to $SCAD holders through two staking products, funded by a combined 20% of NGR:

  • Liquid staking → USDS dividends. Stake $SCAD and earn a pro-rata share of 12% of NGR, paid hourly in USDS (a USD-pegged dividend token). Staking is liquid — unstake any time — and auto-engages when you claim mining rewards.
  • SCAD Vault → term yield. Lock $SCAD for a fixed term (30 / 90 / 180 / 365 days) to earn the Vault slice (8% of NGR); longer terms get a bigger share. Early withdrawal is allowed but keeps a 10% penalty in the pool, lifting the yield of everyone who holds to maturity (ERC-4626-style share index).

Loyalty APR boost: the more $SCAD you hold, the higher your Vault APR — Base ×1.00 · Bronze ×1.10 · Silver ×1.25 · Gold ×1.50 · Diamond ×2.00 — up to 2.0× at the top tier (1,000,000 $SCAD held).

5. Revenue Redistribution

20% of net gaming revenue flows back to $SCAD holders. There is no buy-and-burn — $SCAD is a mining token, not a deflationary one — so the entire holder slice is paid out across two streams:

  • 12% staking dividends — paid pro-rata to liquid $SCAD stakers in USDS (§4)
  • 8% vault yield — accrued to term-locked $SCAD vault positions (§4)

The casino keeps ≥80% of NGR. A SCAD/SOL liquidity pool powers in-app trading (buy/sell on the token page).

6. Roadmap

Phase 1 — Platform Launch

Crash, Coinflip, Jackpot and Lottery live with provably fair seeds and SIWS wallet auth (play-money beta); on-chain vault custody (deposit/withdraw) and per-bet settlement receipts are the next milestone.

Phase 2 — Token & Rewards

$SCAD launch with the SCAD/SOL pool, in-app trading and liquidity provision; Proof-of-Play mining (4-year halving), cashback, daily case and hourly airdrops claimable on-chain; liquid staking for USDS dividends and the term Vault.

Phase 3 — Expansion

Mainnet launch; multi-currency betting (USDC/USDT across all games); additional games and social features; mobile-first UX.

7. Contract Addresses

Program and mint addresses are published in the app footer and on the fairness page per environment (devnet during the public beta; mainnet at launch). All programs are open to inspection on Solscan.
