How to play DEXXUS
How DEXXUS works, how to create and join rooms, match phases, XP and Score, leaderboards, Reward Friday, wallet verification and Premium.
Values and feature availability can be changed by the DEXXUS team. Where the app displays a live countdown, requirement or reward value, the in-app value is authoritative.
What is DEXXUS?
A fast-paced crypto prediction game built directly inside Telegram.
DEXXUS lets you predict the next short-term market move without buying, selling or holding the underlying asset. Each round asks one simple question: will the selected token finish the round above or below its starting price?
Choose UP or DOWN, compete against other players and build a long-term record through XP, Score and winning streaks. During active reward periods, Weekly Score also determines your proportional share of the Reward Friday pool.
Why DEXXUS?
- Predict short-term crypto price movements
- Compete directly against other players
- Play with friends, Telegram communities or public rooms
- Build winning streaks and long-term XP
- Earn Weekly and Total Score
- Compete on Weekly, All-Time and Win Rate leaderboards
- Participate in Reward Friday when the reward system is active
DEXXUS does not execute a trade when you make a prediction. A normal game round itself does not require you to stake funds.
Getting Started & Main Menu
- Open DEXXUS through Telegram.
- Tap Get Started.
- Read and accept the Terms & Conditions.
- Enter the DEXXUS Main Menu.
Your DEXXUS profile is connected to your Telegram account.
Main Menu
The Main Menu is your central hub. At the top, the app shows key performance information such as XP, Weekly Score and Win Rate. The Live Lobby lists active rooms and their current status:
- Room name
- Selected token and network
- Round length
- Current room phase
- Number of players
- Time remaining in the current phase
The bottom navigation provides access to Profile, Create Room, Leaderboard and — when enabled — the ETH claim/reward area.
Rooms
Create your own market challenge or join an existing room.
Creating a room
Tap Create Room from the Main Menu. Room creation currently consists of three core choices:
- Room Name — choose your own name or use the random name generator.
- Token — search for a supported token or select one from Trending. The app displays the token network and uses supported live price sources for the market feed.
- Round Length — choose 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes.
After confirming the configuration, create the room. You are automatically added as its first player.
Inviting players
Every room can be shared through a Telegram Mini App link. Inside a room, open the menu and select Share. Send the link to friends, groups, communities or other DEXXUS players. A player opening the link sees a room preview before joining, including the selected token, round length, network and current player count.
Joining a room
Join rooms from the Live Lobby or through a shared room link. If the room is in WAITING or VOTING, you can enter as an active player. If you join while a round is already RUNNING, you can watch that round and participate from the next available round.
Leaving a room
Use Leave Room and confirm. A player can only actively belong to one room at a time; joining or creating another room moves you away from the previous room.
Inactivity
To keep rooms healthy, DEXXUS can remove players who remain inactive for an extended period. The current inactivity grace period is approximately 10 minutes. If removed, the app offers a Recover access action before you join and play again.
How a Match Works
Every round automatically moves through a fixed game cycle.
WAITING
A normal round needs at least two active players. If there are not enough players, the room remains in WAITING. As soon as the room is ready, DEXXUS starts the voting phase automatically.
The House Player
If exactly one real player is waiting, DEXXUS can add a server-controlled House Player after a short delay so the room remains playable. When another real user enters, the House Player leaves.
- Does not earn XP
- Does not earn Score
- Does not receive ETH rewards
- Does not reduce the reward share allocated to real players
- In a one-player match, it waits for the real player's prediction and then votes on the opposite side
VOTING
Before every round, a voting window opens — currently around 15 seconds. Choose UP if you believe the end price will be higher than the round's start price, or DOWN if you believe it will be lower.
Once you submit UP or DOWN, the prediction is locked and cannot be changed for that round.
Blind Voting
Before you submit your own prediction, DEXXUS hides the crowd distribution. Your vote is therefore an independent pick. Once your prediction is locked, the app can reveal how the rest of the room voted.
Early Voting Bonus
Voting earlier can improve your reward profile. At the beginning of the voting window, the current maximum bonus is up to +6 XP and up to 1.20× Score Share weight. The bonus gradually decreases as the voting timer approaches zero, and is locked when you vote.
The early XP bonus matters only when your prediction wins. Score Share weight affects how the round Score is divided among multiple correct real players; it does not automatically increase the total Score distributed by the round.
If you do not vote
If the voting window closes without an UP or DOWN pick, your state becomes NO VOTE. You can still watch the market but receive 0 XP and 0 Score for that round. A missed vote is not treated as a normal win or loss.
RUNNING
When voting closes, DEXXUS records the round starting price — the price to beat — and starts the selected 15s, 30s, 1m or 5m market timer. Live prices update while the round runs, and the UI shows whether your prediction is currently winning or losing.
| End price vs. start price | Result |
|---|---|
| Higher | UP wins |
| Lower | DOWN wins |
| Effectively unchanged | EVEN |
A very small technical tolerance is used so insignificant floating-point differences do not create a false UP or DOWN result.
VALIDATION
After the market timer ends, DEXXUS enters a validation/result phase of approximately 10 seconds. The result screen can show the start and end price, percentage move, your prediction, the winning side, XP, Score, Early Vote Bonus, Streak Bonus and Score Share weight.
Possible player states include YOU WON, YOU LOST, EVEN, NO VOTE and SPECTATOR. After validation, the next voting phase starts automatically.
If players leave during a round
If the number of active players falls below the minimum required state, DEXXUS can stop the current round and return the room to WAITING. A fresh voting phase begins once the room is valid again.
EVEN rounds
- Award the configured EVEN XP reward
- Award no Score
- Do not count as a normal win or loss
- Currently do not reset the player's Win Streak
XP, Score & Leaderboards
XP tracks progression. Score tracks competitive performance and weekly reward share.
XP
| Outcome | Current XP |
|---|---|
| Correct prediction | 100 XP + Early Vote Bonus + applicable Streak Bonus |
| Wrong prediction | 25 XP |
| EVEN | 10 XP |
| NO VOTE | 0 XP |
XP is long-term progression and does not reset every Friday.
Score
Only correct predictions earn Score. A normal round currently contains a total of 1.00 Score for the real winning players.
- One real winner — the player receives the full 1.00 Score.
- Multiple real winners — the 1.00 Score is split proportionally according to each winner's locked Score Share weight. An earlier voter can therefore receive a larger share than a later voter.
The House Player is excluded from this calculation.
Weekly Score vs. Total Score
| Metric | Purpose | Reset |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly Score | Current Reward Friday cycle and Weekly Leaderboard | Resets after weekly finalization |
| Total Score | Lifetime competitive performance and All-Time Leaderboard | Does not reset |
Win Streaks
Consecutive correct predictions build a Win Streak. The profile tracks both Current and Best Win Streak. Under the current configuration, milestone streaks award bonus XP:
| Streak | Bonus XP |
|---|---|
| 2 wins | +5 XP |
| 3 wins | +15 XP |
| 5 wins | +40 XP |
| 7 wins | +75 XP |
| 10 wins | +150 XP |
| Every additional 5 wins after 10 | +150 XP |
The current daily Streak Bonus cap is 300 XP. A normal loss resets the streak. An EVEN result currently keeps it unchanged.
Leaderboards
- Weekly — ranks players by Weekly Score and can show your approximate percentage share of total Weekly Score.
- All-Time — ranks players by lifetime Total Score. XP can be used as a tie-breaker.
- Win Rate — ranks players by prediction accuracy (Wins / Decided Rounds). A player currently needs at least 5 decided rounds before the rate is treated as established; before that it is shown as Provisional.
Reward Friday
The weekly reward system that turns qualifying Weekly Score into a proportional ETH allocation.
During active reward periods, DEXXUS tracks Weekly Score throughout the week instead of assigning an ETH payout after every single match. At the end of the weekly cycle, eligible players receive a proportional allocation of the available reward pool based on their share of total Weekly Score.
The standard current weekly snapshot is Friday at 18:00 UTC. The live countdown displayed inside DEXXUS should be treated as authoritative for the next snapshot.
How it works
- Play during the week and make predictions.
- Correct predictions add to your Weekly Score.
- Your share is calculated as Your Weekly Score / Total Weekly Score of eligible players.
- At the Friday snapshot, the completed week is finalized.
- The available ETH pool is allocated proportionally.
- Weekly Score resets for the next cycle, while Total Score, XP and long-term statistics remain.
Where does the pool come from?
The long-term Reward Friday pool is designed to be funded by trading activity in the DEXXUS ecosystem once the $DXXS token is live.
- After $DXXS launches — a 1% BUY/SELL fee on $DXXS trading is directed into the Reward Friday pool.
- Weekly cap — the amount used for a weekly Reward Friday is capped at USD 500 per week. If fee revenue exceeds that amount, the excess is carried forward into future weeks rather than being paid out immediately.
This carry-over mechanism is intended to create a reserve for lower-volume periods, helping Reward Friday remain available even when $DXXS trading activity temporarily decreases.
As long as $DXXS is not live, the Reward Friday pool is empty. There is currently no announced ETA for the token launch; the DEXXUS team will communicate the launch when appropriate. Until an official reward phase is announced, Score is illustrative only and does not create any claim, entitlement or right to a payout.
Before the $DXXS launch, the team may announce a Pre-Win Phase. If such a phase is announced, Score earned under the announced rules can count toward the first payout after rewards go live. Only an explicit team announcement activates such a phase; Score earned before that announcement has no monetary payout claim.
Reward calculation
Your pool share = Your Weekly Score / Total Weekly Score
Your gross allocation = Available weekly reward pool × Your pool share
The finalized claimable amount can also account for estimated transaction costs associated with sending the reward.
Example
Assume the finalized weekly reward pool is worth 500 USD and the total eligible Weekly Score is 1,000. You earned 50 Weekly Score. Your pool share is 50 / 1,000 = 5%, so your gross allocation equals 5% of the finalized weekly reward pool. If the pool were denominated as 5 ETH in another example, the same 5% share would correspond to 0.25 ETH before any applicable transaction-cost adjustment.
Reward dashboard
- Next Cashout — date and countdown to the next weekly snapshot.
- Projected ETH — an estimate of what your reward would look like if finalization happened at that moment.
- Current Pot — reward liquidity currently available for the active cycle.
- Your Share — your current percentage of total Weekly Score.
- Total Weekly Score — combined eligible Weekly Score.
- Your Weekly Score — your own contribution to the current cycle.
Your projected allocation can change as other players gain Score, the reward pool changes, network costs change, or the reward system is not yet active.
Claiming ETH
When a weekly reward has been finalized and the claim feature is active, a player with a positive claimable amount can connect an Ethereum-compatible wallet and request the displayed ETH payout. Positive unclaimed balances can remain available and can be combined with later finalized rewards, subject to the active reward rules.
Wallet & Premium
Connecting a wallet
A wallet is not required for normal DEXXUS gameplay. It is used for functions such as claiming ETH, Premium eligibility and proving token ownership.
Wallet verification asks you to sign a message proving control of the wallet. The signature is not a trade, does not transfer your tokens, normally does not require gas and does not reveal your private key.
Verification only ever asks for a signature. The first successful wallet verification currently awards +10 XP.
Premium
DEXXUS contains a Premium system that can currently be unlocked by progression or by meeting a token-holding requirement displayed in the app.
- By playing — reach the current XP threshold. The present implementation uses 1,000 XP as the automatic Premium threshold.
- By holding $DXXS — connect a wallet containing the required amount. The app checks eligibility on-chain without taking custody of the tokens. The required amount can be changed and the in-app value is authoritative.
Quick Examples & FAQ
Example round
You enter a 30-second ETH room. The voting phase opens and you expect ETH to move higher, so you select UP. Your pick locks immediately. Because you voted relatively early, DEXXUS also locks an Early Vote Bonus and increased Score Share weight. Only after your vote is locked can you see the crowd distribution.
Voting ends at an ETH start price of $3,500.00. The 30-second round begins. ETH ends at $3,503.50, so UP wins. You receive the base win XP plus your locked Early Vote Bonus and any applicable Streak Bonus. You also receive your proportional share of the round's 1.00 Score, added to Weekly Score and Total Score. After validation, the next voting window starts.

When an active weekly reward cycle is finalized, Weekly Score resets. Total Score and XP remain.
A 1% BUY/SELL fee on $DXXS is intended to fund the pool. Weekly Reward Friday usage is capped at USD 500, with excess fee revenue carried forward to future weeks.
