It started because we were tired of using Venmo – someone always “forgets” to pay, the math gets messy at 5am, and someone inevitably rage-quits the group chat.

So we built a small tool. You create a table, share a link, your friends join, and every chip is backed by real USDC on Base (Okey, for the moment its on testnet, but we need to test it more). 1 chip = $0.01, always, enforced by a smart contract. No middleman holding your money – each table deploys its own on-chain vault. When the game ends, funds settle automatically.

A few things we were deliberate about:

No accounts required to join. Guests can sit down instantly. The host earns a cut. We called it the “Banker model” – whoever spins up the table gets a portion of the table fees as a reward for hosting. It made sense to us that the person taking on the social coordination work gets something back. Cryptographic shuffle. Go’s crypto/rand + Fisher-Yates. No seeds, no patterns. 52! possible decks.

It’s built on Base for the low fees. You would need to pay < 0.01 for gas fees for the entire game.

We soft-launched it to a few friend groups. Curious if anyone here has thought about this problem or has thoughts on the on-chain escrow model… specifically whether a per-table contract deployment feels like overkill or the right call for trust.

Happy to answer any technical questions.
