ChainPot blog
Strategy guides, mode breakdowns, and updates for playing on-chain games for SOL.
Roughly three kinds of writing end up here. Guides that get a new player from an empty wallet to a first match; breakdowns of how a particular game or room type actually pays out, which is where most confusion lives; and strategy pieces on winning more often once the mechanics are no longer the hard part. Where a post makes a claim about custody, fees or payouts, it describes what the on-chain program does rather than what we intend to do.
New here? Start with these
- The beginner’s guide — zero crypto to a first match, end to end.
- The wallet guide — setting up a Solana wallet and what each signature does.
- Snake modes explained — 1v1, Arena and Cashout, and which suits you.
- The FAQ — fees, payouts, refunds and referrals, in detail.
