How it works
A faster funnel for first-time visitors.
Each step is framed so someone can understand the product before they ever connect a wallet.
Review the format
See the 48-team tournament structure, scoring model, and preview safeguards before making any decision.
Open the app preview
Connect Waves Keeper, explore the dashboard, and save picks locally while contracts remain out of the critical path.
Move to live contracts later
The UI is already structured around the future smart-contract flow, so the next engineering pass can focus on chain logic instead of redesign work.
Scoring and trust
Built to stay readable under pressure.
The rules remain easy to scan, while the trust layer stays explicit for anyone checking how results will be published.
Scoring highlights
Group stage
Correct 1X2 pick: +2 points. Group standings: leader +3, runner-up +2, swapped qualifiers +2.
Knockouts
Correct advancing team: +3 points. Champion +10, runner-up +7, third place +5, fourth place +3.
Why the preview is trustworthy
- Picks are designed around on-chain recording, even while transactions stay disabled in preview.
- Kickoff deadlines stay visible and will later be enforced through the contract flow.
- The public leaderboard remains a first-class part of the experience.
- The current UI leaves room for the smart-contract handoff instead of hard-coding temporary shortcuts.

FAQ
Clear answers before launch.
The product is positioned as a preview today so the contract integration can arrive without undoing the interface.
Is Waves Futbol already live on-chain?
Not yet. The current experience is a wallet-ready preview built so the smart-contract layer can be mounted without redesigning the product.
When do picks lock?
Match picks lock 15 minutes before kickoff. Kickoff timestamps still show preview placeholders until the oracle schedule is finalized.
How are rewards handled?
Rewards are proportional to total points. If total points are zero at tournament end, payouts stay at zero.
Is the project affiliated with FIFA?
No. Waves Futbol is an independent product experience and is not affiliated with FIFA or any national federation.
