How to Play in HARDCORE Mode

From our guide you will learn how to participate in HARDCORE races with other participants: how to select race parameters, change them and take off to space.

To get started, go to your pilots “🚀”. Select a pilot and tap the HARDCORE button.

Read the information, check the checkbox and tap I AGREE to continue.

Please note:

The HARDCORE mode is open to 4 players, each of whom bets into the total prize pool. The player with the best result receives the prize pool, 25% of which is retained as a platform charge and returned to the game.

To start a race or join other players, you need to select a LONG or SHORT position, choose a leverage, and select the coins that are likely to perform the best in your opinion.

To select a position, tap on the LONG or SHORT buttons, respectively. LONG is a position that implies the growth of the asset price, SHORT implies a decline.

To select a leverage, click on the “X5” tab and select any leverage you want to use in this race, regardless of the pilot’s class.

Leverage allows increasing profit in the race by 5, 10, 20, or 100 times respectively.

The next step is to select your coins. You can select as many coins as your pilot’s Capacity parameter allows. For example, if your pilot’s Capacity is 5, you can select a maximum of 5 coins.

For Test (free) pilots you can select 2 coins.

In HARDCORE races it will be possible to gain 2, 3 or 4 times more Energy by making an increased bet to participate in the race (this feature will be available later).

Check the race parameters. In the screenshot we see:

• race mode: HARDCORE
• the amount of your bet in the prize pool: BID
• selected position: SHORT
• leverage size: X100
• selected coins: BTC and ETH

Tap ACCEPT to continue.

Next, a screen with information on the current race opens. You must wait for all 4 players for the race to start.

The screen shows:

• size of the prize pool of already joined players: 8
• number of already joined players: 2 (must be 4 to start the race)
• time from the beginning of the start of the player selection: 01:31
• your bid: 4 COSMIC

In standby mode you can change the race parameters: selected position, leverage and coins. Tap on SETTINGS to change.

Select the desired parameters if you want to change them and tap ACCEPT again.

4 players have joined the race! You will get a push notification about the start of the race.

Wait for the countdown to complete, before it is over you can change the parameters of your race: position, leverage and coins. Don’t forget to tap ACCEPT to save the changes for the current race.

No Fuel is deducted for flights in HARDCORE mode. On the contrary, for each flight Energy is credited to your account, which can be used to participate in SOLO mode races.

All 4 pilots will be visible on the screen after the start of the race:

• class and ID of your pilot
• your result: PROFIT
• race result of other players

You can end your race in HARDCORE mode after 5 minutes.

To end your race, tap TAKE-PROFIT or wait for the race to end automatically after 1 hour.

After tapping TAKE-PROFIT, your race will end, and the button will be disabled. On the screen you will see that your profit percentage has stopped and the red lock “🔒” designation appears next to the pilot. The rest of the players who have not stopped the race will continue their flight.

To re-enter the race and see the time for which the race is still running, or to track the profit of other players, select your pilot from the menu and tap OPEN RACE.

When all participants have completed the race, or the race has stopped after 1 hour (maximum duration of the race) you will receive a push notification.

All race details will be displayed on the screen:

• the winner of the race (person with the best result): WINNER
• race time: TIME
• your profit: PROFIT
• prize pool in COSMIC tokens, which the winner receives minus the platform fee: REWARD
• leaderboard, which shows all the players’ places, the players’ name, their profile and the leverage that each player has chosen for the race

Tap TRY AGAIN if you want to start a race with the same pilot.

If there are several winners, i.e. several players showed the same best result, the prize pool will be distributed among all winning players, minus a 25% fee.

In the PROFILE menu you can also open the results of the race and view its details.

Each pilot can complete a limitless number of races per day in HARDCORE mode.

The maximum amount of Energy is also unlimited, so you can accumulate it in any quantity.

If you have several pilots on your account, you can launch them simultaneously in different HARDCORE races with other players and compete for the prize pool.

Have fun flying, Cosmic pilots!
