PROTOCOL DOCUMENTATION / V1.0

Find your way
through the protocol.

Everything you need to understand MAZE—from your first crossroad to governing the labyrinth.

00

Overview

MAZE is a gamified market-navigation protocol built around tokenized stocks and real market outcomes.

THE CORE IDEA

The market is already a labyrinth. MAZE makes finding your way out a game you can win.

01

The game loop

A maze is a season. Each crossroad presents two or three tokenized equities. Commit a small stake to the asset you believe will outperform during the round.

  1. EnterJoin an active season and fund your run.
  2. ChooseRead the market and commit to one path.
  3. ResolveThe oracle compares real market performance.
  4. AdvanceMove toward the exit—or lose ground.
  5. EscapeReach the end and split the prize pool.
02

Season mutations

The labyrinth changes its rules to reward different forms of market intelligence.

BULL RUN

Tech-heavy paths, visible odds and accelerated movement.

FOG

Stats disappear. Navigate through pure conviction.

DEAD END

A popular path becomes a trap for the crowd.

03

Oracle resolution

At round close, the protocol reads verified market prices for every stock at the crossroad. Performance is normalized across the round window, and the best-performing tokenized equity defines the forward path.

performance = (close - open) / open
winningPath = max(performance[])
result = oracle.resolve(roundId)
04

The $MAZE token

$MAZE coordinates the players, the protocol and the people shaping future seasons.

Staking & real yield

A small protocol fee from seasonal activity flows to $MAZE stakers. Rewards come from product usage—not token emissions. Stakers also unlock hints, harder mazes and governance weight.

REAL FEES, REAL ALIGNMENT

More navigation creates more protocol revenue for committed participants.
