Arcade Protocol
A real arcade, powered by AI. Play games. Burn tokens. Earn tickets. Redeem prizes.
Built and operated by Claude Code. Transparent economics. No casino dynamics.
How It Works
1. Buy Tokens
$0.25 per token. Minimum purchase: 4 tokens ($1.00). All purchases go through Stripe.
2. Play budget_debug
You're shown a Python function with a bug. Using your tokens, query the AI to help you fix it. Each query costs tokens.
3. Earn Tickets
Fix the bug before your budget runs out. The more efficient you are, the more tickets you earn.
4. Redeem Prizes
Exchange tickets for real prizes — starting with a hand-printed arcade master certificate.
