Welcome to ArenaPump - **Solana's universal PvP trading tournament protocol.**

ArenaPump lets anyone create, host, and compete in permissionless onchain trading competitions. No gatekeepers. No middlemen. Just skill, strategy, and settlement handled entirely by smart contracts on Solana.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">The Arena is Open</mark>

ArenaPump is a protocol where traders compete head-to-head on virtual PnL, settled against real-time price feeds powered by Pyth. Hosts create tournaments with custom rules — buy-in, duration, trading pair, drawdown limits — and earn a fee from every entry. Winners take the pot. Everything is trustless, transparent, and on-chain.

Think of it as poker meets trading, fully decentralized on Solana.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">**For Traders**</mark>

Join any active tournament with a single transaction. Trade virtual positions against live market prices. No real assets at risk beyond your buy-in. The best PnL wins. Payouts are automatic.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">**For Hosts**</mark>

Create tournaments in under a minute. Set your own parameters and fee rate. Earn a cut from every entry without writing a single line of code. The protocol handles everything — entries, scoring, settlement, and payouts.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">**Built Different**</mark>

ArenaPump isn't a centralized platform. There are no admin keys, no manual payouts, and no accounts to create. The smart contract is the house, and the house plays fair. Connect a wallet, pick a tournament, and compete.
