Become an Oracle
Stake 1,000 KAS to join the oracle network. Earn 2-5% fee on every market you help resolve. Your bond proves economic alignment — if you attest honestly, you profit. If you lie, you lose your stake.
Any bonded oracle can challenge a resolution within a 24-hour dispute window. The challenger posts a counter-bond equal to the original oracle's stake. Both bonds are locked until the dispute is resolved by a larger oracle quorum (5-of-N). The losing party forfeits their bond — 50% to the winner, 50% burned.
Oracles are slashed when:
• Dispute resolution rules against them
• ZK proof verification fails on-chain
• 3+ oracles attest differently (consensus failure = all slashed)
• Evidence hash mismatch detected by miner
Slashed KAS is distributed: 60% to challenger, 30% to protocol treasury, 10% burned.

Why Kaspa
The BlockDAG that High Table Protocol settles on.
Kaspa is the only Layer 1 that runs a BlockDAG consensus at 10 blocks per second while maintaining the security guarantees of Nakamoto-style proof of work. No staking. No validators. No premine. Every block counts.
LIVE KASPA BLOCKDAG
BlockDAG Architecture
Unlike a blockchain where one miner wins per round, Kaspa allows all miners to contribute blocks simultaneously. GHOSTDAG consensus orders them into a directed acyclic graph without orphaning any honest work. More miners means more throughput, not more waste.
Sub-Second Confirmation
Transactions confirm in under 1 second. Full probabilistic finality in roughly 10 seconds. At the 100 BPS target on the roadmap, the network will process over 30,000 transactions per second while every node validates every block.
Pure Proof of Work
Kaspa uses kHeavyHash, an optical-mining-friendly algorithm. No staking, no delegation, no foundation-controlled validators. Fair launch in November 2021 with zero premine, zero allocation, and zero insider advantage.
Why High Table Needs This
Prediction markets and skill games require fast settlement, cheap transactions, and hard finality. Kaspa delivers all three without sacrificing decentralization. Covenants enable trustless escrow and automated resolution directly on the DAG.
Covenants on Kaspa
Kaspa covenants are programmable spending conditions enforced at the UTXO level. They allow contracts to lock funds, define resolution rules, and release value automatically when conditions are met. High Table Protocol uses covenants to build trustless escrow for every market and every match. Funds are locked when a position is taken and released when the outcome is resolved. No intermediary holds your money at any point.
Kaspa Timeline
Research Papers
Terms, Conditions & Risk Disclosure
Please read carefully before using High Table Protocol.
1. Nature of the Protocol
High Table Protocol (“HTP”) is a non-custodial, decentralized prediction market interface built on the Kaspa BlockDAG. HTP provides a front-end to interact with covenant-enforced smart contract logic deployed on Kaspa Layer 1. HTP is not a company, corporation, partnership, or legal entity. It is open-source protocol software.
2. No Custody, No Intermediary
HTP never takes custody of your funds. All positions are held in Kaspa UTXO covenants enforced at the consensus level. You connect your own wallet and sign your own transactions. There is no fiduciary relationship. The protocol is the counterparty.
3. Parimutuel Market Mechanics
All markets operate as parimutuel pools. Stakes on each outcome accumulate into a shared pool. Upon resolution, the pool (minus protocol fees) is distributed pro-rata to the winning side. Payouts depend on your stake relative to total winning-side stakes, not on fixed odds at entry. Displayed multipliers are estimates that change as new stakes enter.
4. Trading Modes
Spot Mode: Full upside, full downside. If your outcome wins, you receive your pro-rata share minus a 2% fee on profit only. If you lose, you lose your entire stake.
Maximizer Mode: Same upside as Spot. On loss, 50% of your stake is rebated. 30% of the rebate amount is charged as an insurance fee. Net loss ~65% of stake vs 100% in Spot.
5. Market Creation & Creator Bonds
Anyone can create a market by posting a 1,000 KAS creator bond locked in a covenant until resolution. If the market resolves cleanly, the bond is returned. If flagged as spam, manipulative, or unresolvable, the bond is slashed via dispute. Creators set the question, source, category, and closing time. Creators do not set odds.
6. Oracle & Resolution
ZK-Verified (Primary): ZK proofs over external data feeds verified on Kaspa. Trustless, deterministic.
Bonded (Fallback): Human attestors post bonds and submit outcomes. A challenge window (24-72h) allows disputes via counter-bonds. Incorrect attestors are slashed. Once the window closes without dispute, the outcome is final and the covenant distributes the pool.
7. Fee Structure
All fees are protocol-level, immutable, and enforced by covenant logic.
- Spot fee: 2% on profit only. No fee if you lose.
- Maximizer insurance fee: 30% of the 50% loss rebate (~15% of losing stake).
- Creator bond: 1,000 KAS, refundable on clean resolution.
- Attestor bond: Minimum 500 KAS, slashed on incorrect attestation.
No withdrawal fees, deposit fees, or hidden charges.
8. Risk Disclosure
Total loss: Spot: 100% loss possible. Maximizer: ~65% loss possible. Do not stake more than you can afford to lose.
Smart contract risk: Covenants are immutable once deployed. No admin key, no pause, no upgrade path for live markets.
Oracle risk: Bonded escalation mitigates but does not eliminate incorrect resolution.
Network risk: Congestion, forks, or consensus failures could delay settlement.
Regulatory risk: Prediction markets may be regulated in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for compliance.
Liquidity risk: Low participation may result in unfavorable odds.
9. User Responsibilities
- You are solely responsible for wallet security, private keys, and seed phrases.
- You are responsible for determining legality in your jurisdiction.
- You understand parimutuel mechanics and the difference between Spot and Maximizer.
- You accept that multipliers are estimates and payouts depend on final pool composition.
- All transactions are final and irreversible once confirmed on Kaspa.
10. No Warranty
HTP is provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind. No representations regarding accuracy, reliability, or completeness. Use at your own risk.
11. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall developers, contributors, or associated parties be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of HTP, including loss of funds, data, or profits.
12. Dispute Resolution
On-chain disputes are resolved through bonded escalation (Section 6). There is no customer support, refund mechanism, or appeals process beyond the on-chain challenge system.
13. Amendments
Protocol-level rules are immutable once deployed. Interface-level terms may be updated. Continued use constitutes acceptance. Deployed covenants are unaffected by interface changes.
14. Governing Framework
HTP operates as decentralized open-source software not governed by any specific jurisdiction. Users are responsible for compliance with local laws.
15. Oracle Attestation and Bonding
A minimum bond of 5,000 KAS is required to become an oracle operator. Attestations are Kaspa transactions with a signed payload containing the market ID, outcome, and evidence hash. A 24-hour dispute window follows each ZK confirmation. Bonds are slashed upon successful challenge.
The browser daemon requires the tab to remain open; a Node.js equivalent is available for persistent operation. HTP is not responsible for the accuracy of external API data; operators bear sole responsibility. Oracle earnings are distributed from a percentage of the 2% protocol fee pool.
16. Skill Game Covenants
Escrow is locked on-chain when a match is created. Both players must deposit within 24 hours or the creator is refunded. All move validation is performed client-side against deterministic rules (chess.js for chess). The covenant enforces winner payout with no human arbiter. A 2% protocol fee is deducted from the gross pot.
Timeout: if a player's clock hits zero, the opponent wins and the covenant settles immediately. Resign: treated as a loss; the opponent receives the net payout via covenant.
17. SilverScript Covenant Tool
The sandbox auto-generates covenant code from the Create Event form for transparency. Compiled code is not submitted on-chain until "Compile + Deploy" followed by "Create Event". Custom modifications are at the user's own risk; HTP makes no guarantees. The sandbox is a developer and inspection tool, not required for normal event creation.
18. Data and Privacy
Node REST URLs are stored in localStorage only and are never transmitted to HTP servers. Wallet mnemonics never leave the browser; all signing occurs in WASM via the kaspa-wasm SDK. Oracle daemon logs are in-memory only; they are not persisted or sent externally.
Firebase Realtime Database stores market metadata, positions, and match state. Private keys and seed phrases are never stored in Firebase or any external database.
