FAQ about chat.win

Basics

Q: What is chat.win? A: A platform where anyone can create AI prompt challenges and others try to solve them for rewards.

Q: How do I start? A: Sign in-your smart contract wallet is created automatically. Browse Prompts or visit /create to publish your own. See /about for quick video tutorials.

Q: Are there rules? A: Yes-see /rules. TL;DR: write clear win criteria, read carefully, use creative techniques.

Creating

Q: What makes a good prompt? A: Provide a complete description (context, expected interaction, constraints) and objective, measurable win criteria. Optionally add a system prompt for custom behavior. See /using-chat-win/creating-a-prompt.

Q: Base vs. Custom Prompt? A: Base uses the model’s default behavior; Custom includes your system prompt to shape behavior and constraints.

Q: Can I include tools or external data? A: Yes-scope capabilities to the minimum needed, avoid secrets, and prefer summaries over raw retrieval.

Solving

Q: What techniques are allowed? A: Clean techniques work best: translation/synonyms, hypotheticals/indirection, chunking, examples, and self-checks. Exploring model bugs or attempting to bypass safety rules can be relevant if the Prompt invites it-results vary. See /using-chat-win/beating-a-prompt and /using-chat-win/common-techniques.

Q: What if a message fails or refuses? A: If generation fails, the message fee is refunded. A model refusal is not an error (provider-intended) and is not refunded.

Q: Can I publish write-ups? A: Share responsibly. Prefer technique summaries over copy-paste exploits. Follow the rules and content policies.

Payouts and Network

Q: How do payouts work? A: Rewards are handled by smart contracts on Polygon. When a solution passes, payouts go directly to your smart contract wallet in USDC on Polygon.

Q: What network does chat.win use? A: Polygon. Set your wallet to Polygon. Only send/receive USDC on Polygon to avoid loss of assets. See /about.

Q: How do I get USDC on Polygon? A: Use supported exchanges or bridge from other networks. Always verify you’re using Polygon USDC.

Judging, Reuse, and Liability

Q: How are challenges evaluated? A: Automatically against the creator’s win criteria; some challenges add human verification. Failed judgments may be overturned by site owners at their discretion; passed judgments cannot be overturned.

Q: What about technical issues and liability? A: The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We can’t guarantee uptime or provider/model availability. Back up your work. In case of issues, we may cancel, reschedule, or void a challenge at our discretion.

Help

Q: Where can I get support? A: Join our Discord to report any issues or get in contact with a human.
