MotoKart FAQ

MotoKart is a multiplayer 3D kart racing game that runs in your web browser. You race up to five other karts over two or three laps. Races are free, or each racer pays a SOL entry fee into an on-chain escrow on Solana and the top finishers split the pot.

Yes. Choose Play free in the lobby and you can race with no wallet and nothing staked. You only need SOL for paid races, and those are optional.

No. MotoKart runs in a modern browser with WebGL: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a computer, or a recent phone held in landscape. Play with a keyboard, a gamepad or the on-screen touch controls.

Yes. Open a race and copy its invite link. Anyone who opens it lands in your race. As host you pick the circuit and entry fee, and choose whether AI karts fill the empty seats.

No. Pickups sit at fixed spots on the track and always do the same thing. There are no random item rolls and no catch-up boosts for whoever is last, and AI karts don't slow down to keep the race close. With money on the line, driving is the only thing that should decide who wins.

Yes. Paid races run on Solana mainnet. Entry fees go into an escrow account controlled by MotoKart's Solana program, and that same program pays the winners or refunds the players. You can view the program on Solana Explorer, or from the Wager contract button in the game.

Not in the usual sense. There's no token that you earn just by playing and no reward for taking part. In a paid race, the prize is the other players' entry fees, and you win it by finishing in the top places. You can lose your entry fee just as easily. Free races have no money involved at all.

A 5% house fee is taken from the pot. The rest goes to the finishers: 100% if one player finishes, 60/40 if two finish, and 50/30/20 for first, second and third when three or more finish. For example, four players at 0.1 SOL make a 0.4 SOL pot. After the fee, first place gets 0.19 SOL, second 0.114 SOL and third 0.076 SOL. AI karts never take a share.

MotoKart's game server runs the race and submits the finishing order to the Solana program. Normally a majority of the players in the race must also sign that result before it pays out. If they don't sign in time, the server can still settle after a waiting period, so a player who lost can't block the payout. The program checks who is allowed to submit a result and does the payout maths. It doesn't watch the race itself.

If a paid race never starts, or no result reaches the chain before its deadline, every player gets their full entry fee back and the house takes nothing. Anyone can trigger these refunds, and the game server also checks for expired races and refunds them itself.

If you leave a race after it has started, your entry fee stays in the pot, the same as in any paid tournament. The game asks you to confirm before you quit. In a free race there's nothing to lose.

Not yet. SOL races are live now, and races paid in other Solana tokens are marked as coming soon in the game.

You can connect Phantom or Solflare. Most players also set up a MotoKart game wallet, which is a Solana wallet created in your browser (or imported from a private key you already have). It pays entry fees without a pop-up for every race, and your prizes arrive there. You can fund it from any Solana wallet or exchange and withdraw to any Solana address.

No. The game wallet's private key stays on your device, locked with your password, and MotoKart never sees it. That's why the game shows you the key once and asks you to back it up. If you lose both the key and the password, the funds in that wallet can't be recovered.

Only race with money you can afford to lose. A paid race is a skill-based contest with real SOL at stake, and even good drivers lose races. Rules on skill-based wagering vary from place to place, so check that it's allowed where you live before you enter a paid race.
