Open Akarun Desktop Version
Now that you have everything set up, you can open Akarun on your PC using this link: https://game.akarun.io.
If this is your first time, the application will need to preload all the game maps, which will take about 5 minutes. Please be patient; this is only necessary the first time you open the game.
Once the maps are loaded, it will ask you to log in with Metamask (it's free and doesn't cost anything). If your Metamask is new, you will need to sign up. Follow these steps:
Enter your nickname. If it already exists, you will be asked to choose an original one. We recommend using a short nickname.
Enter your Discord account (if you don't have Discord, you can simply re-enter your nickname).
Enter your email. Proceed to the next step.
Choose Your Mode: Demo or Real
Demo Mode:
This mode allows you to play with any available cryptocurrency in the game against other players also in Demo mode. You won't win or lose anything in this mode. Races do not cost Matic, and you don't need to sign any transactions via Metamask.
Real Mode:
In this mode, the races are real. For each race, you will need to sign twice in Metamask:
The first signature authorizes the use of the specific token you want to use for the race.
The second signature is to pay the cost of the race.
Ensure you have Matic to cover the gas fees for the Metamask signatures.
To race with a specific token, you need to have the equivalent dollar amount in that token. For example, if you want to race with Bitcoin in a $10 race, you need to have at least $10 worth of BTC in your Metamask.
If You Lose: The tokens you played go to the winner, with a portion allocated to the owners of the NFTs and gAKA holders involved.
If You Win: You receive 1.8x the amount you played, with 0.2x paid as a fee to the NFT holders involved in the game (two Akarunners and one track) and to the gAKA holders.
If You Draw: Neither player loses their tokens, and no fee is owed to the NFT and gAKA holders.
To withdraw your winnings: you can do so immediately at the end of the game - a signature on Metamask is required - or at any other time in the "RUNS" section of the game dashboard.
Enjoy your Akarun gaming experience!
