What is Rivalizer?

Welcome to Rivalizer — a crypto-native, peer-to-peer platform for social events contracts. Instead of betting against "the house," you bet directly against other people. One person issues a contract, another person takes the other side, and the winner collects.

What Rivalizer is

Rivalizer is P2P, fixed-odds bookmaking reimagined as social events contracts:

• Issue a contract — You become the issuer. You define the event, the outcomes, and the terms, then list it on your storefront for others to take.
• Take the other side — You browse contracts other people have issued and accept the side you believe in.
• Trophies as collateral — Contracts are backed by trophies (collectible assets you hold), optionally topped up with in-app cash (your USD balance). Your trophies and cash are what's at stake; the winner takes the pot.

When an event resolves, the contract settles automatically and the winning side collects the collateral.

Creating an account

Rivalizer uses passwordless sign-in. There's no password and no seed phrase to remember.

Email magic link (primary)

1. Go to Sign up (or Log in — they work the same way).
2. Enter your email address.
3. Click Send magic link. Rivalizer emails you a one-time sign-in link.
4. Open your inbox and click the link. You'll be signed in automatically and dropped on your profile (or wherever you were headed).

A few things worth knowing:

• The magic link is single-use and expires after 30 minutes. If it expires, just request a new one.
• For security, the "Check your email" screen looks the same whether or not your email is already registered — signing up and logging in are the same flow.
• If a link says it's invalid or expired, head back to Log in and request a fresh one.

Wallet sign-in (also supported)

If you prefer, you can sign in by proving ownership of a crypto wallet using Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE):

1. Connect your wallet.
2. Your wallet asks you to sign a message ("Sign in to Rivalizer"). This is free — no gas, no funds moved. It just proves you control the address.
3. You're signed in.

You don't have to choose one or the other forever — you can start with email and link a wallet later (see below).

Your first steps

1. Sign in with your email magic link.
2. Set up your profile — add a display name and a profile picture so others recognize you. (See the Identity & Profile guide.)
3. Link a wallet — A wallet is required to take contracts or issue your own. From your Profile → Connect a wallet, connect and sign once to attach it to your account.
4. Fund your account (optional) — Add cash to your balance from the Wallet page if you want to use cash as extra collateral.
5. Explore trophies — Trophies are the collateral behind contracts. Browse and acquire them from the Trophies page.
6. Issue a contract or take one — Create a store to become an issuer, or browse existing contracts and take the side you believe in.

Note: Some actions that involve real money (buying with a card, or cashing out) require a quick identity check first — see the Identity & KYC guide.
