# Welcome

Lucky Ducks is a fully on-chain duck racing platform built on Solana. Every race is provably fair, every NFT is verifiable, and every prize is paid out by a smart contract. No house edge. Just ducks!

## What you can do here

* **Race** against up to 20 other players in WTA (Winner Takes All) or Podium Split mode.
* **Collect** four NFT collections that change how you race: Runners unlock advanced features, Boosts add speed, Tracks let you race on custom scenery, Cosmetics dress up your duck.
* **Compete** in scheduled tournaments with off-chain XP leaderboards and on-chain prize pots.
* **Team up** with up to 10 other players for team-based standings and weekly events.
* **Stake** in SOL or any supported SPL token (Legacy and Token-2022). The platform takes a small treasury fee, the rest goes to winner(s).
