Economy
Two things to track. XP says how good you are. Teeth is what you spend. Neither one is money.
Teeth notice
Teeth is an off-chain platform currency with no guaranteed monetary value.
XP
Permanent. Never spent, never lost. XP sets your level and your place on the all time board.
| Source | XP |
|---|---|
| Solo run | score based, up to 300 to 400 per run depending on the game (details) |
| Daily check-in | 50 |
| Tank match played | 20 |
| Tank elimination | 15 each |
| Tank win | 120 |
| Referral bonus | 200, once |
Levels
Level n needs 250 × (n - 1)^1.6 total XP, rounded down. Some checkpoints:
| Level | Total XP |
|---|---|
| 2 | 250 |
| 3 | 757 |
| 5 | 2,297 |
| 10 | 8,408 |
| 20 | 27,793 |
Teeth
Spendable, off-chain, not convertible to cash. Earned by playing.
| Source | Teeth |
|---|---|
| Solo runs | score based, 60 to 80 max per run depending on the game, capped at 500 per UTC day |
| Daily check-in | 25, once per day |
| Referral bonus | 100, once, both sides |
| Winning a Teeth room | 90% of the pot |
Every change to your balance is written as a new line in an append only ledger. Nothing is edited in place, so every Tooth has a paper trail.
The daily cap
Solo games stop paying Teeth once you have earned 500 from solo in the current UTC day. You keep earning XP. Check-in, referral and tank winnings do not count toward the solo cap.
Teeth rooms
Put Teeth on the line in The Tank. Same rules, sharper stakes.
| Room | Entry | Pot with 8 sharks | Burned (10%) | Winner gets (90%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 | 0 | 0 | XP only |
| 10 Teeth | 10 | 80 | 8 | 72 |
| 50 Teeth | 50 | 400 | 40 | 360 |
| 250 Teeth | 250 | 2,000 | 200 | 1,800 |
- Entry is taken when you join the queue.
- Changed your mind? Leave before the room launches and you get it back in full.
- The pot is the sum of all entries.
- The rake is 10% of the pot and it is burned. Nobody collects it, it just leaves the economy.
- The winner takes the other 90%. The rake is rounded down, so any odd Tooth goes to the winner.
- Eliminations pay XP, never Teeth.
- Free rooms have no entry and pay XP only. They are the only rooms that can have bots.
Shop
Cosmetics only. Fins, scars, grills, bubble trails, profile frames and Croak emotes. Same bite for everyone.
No pay to win
Nothing in the shop changes hitboxes, speed, damage, cooldowns or anything else that decides a round. A Gold Grill bites exactly like the teeth you were born with. It just looks richer.
Prices are in Teeth and shown in the shop. Your starter fin from onboarding is free.
Leaderboards
Daily, weekly and all time. One board per solo game, plus The Tank ranked by wins. Days and weeks follow UTC.
