TradingBarrioOpen platformBulls VS Bears: How the One-Minute Rounds Work
Bulls VS Bears is a public directional contest. Participants commit a stake to the bullish or bearish pool for the next round, then a shared one-minute market window determines which side finishes ahead.
The entry countdown
The pause before a round gives participants time to choose a side and stake for the upcoming window. Entries lock according to the displayed countdown so the active round cannot be joined after its outcome begins developing.
How the winning side is determined
The round compares the market price at the defined start and finish. A higher finish favors bulls and a lower finish favors bears, subject to the published handling for unchanged or invalid prices.
Pools and proportional distribution
Participants on the winning side receive a proportional share based on their contribution to that side’s pool. The platform commission is applied according to the displayed rules before the losing pool is distributed.
Continuous rounds
While one round is active, the interface can accept eligible entries for the next round. After settlement and the next countdown, the cycle begins again without creating a separate wallet.
Preparation checklist
