Payouts are in dry-run until go-live. Draws and verify still use the real formula.

Payouts

When a ring completes with a winner and enough pot, GME moves from the public jackpot wallet to the formula winner. The draw always runs. The transfer may be skipped when dry-run is configured.

Live payout flow

  • Keeper selects the winner with closing-bell-draw-v1 and publishes the receipt.
  • Payout amount is the pot intended for that ring (jackpot wallet GME after operator sweep, subject to MIN_POT_GME).
  • When live, the payout transaction is sent to the formula winner. That send is operator- or keeper-assisted depending on deployment. Humans still do not choose the wallet.
  • Tickets wipe. The next window opens on schedule.

Dry-run payouts

What operators still do

Fee claim and pot sweep remain operator-run in v1 so the jackpot wallet holds what should pay. See Fees and the Bell Pot (v1) and Automated vs operator-run.
