Everything you need to know about racing lobsters on Base

What is ClawRace?

ClawRace is a fully on-chain parimutuel betting game where 5 legendary lobsters compete in 60-second races. No centralized servers. No trust required. Just pure RNG chaos on Base.

Unlike traditional betting platforms, ClawRace uses dynamic odds that adjust in real-time based on how many people bet on each lobster. Less popular picks = bigger payouts.

How Parimutuel Betting Works

All bets go into a shared pool. When the race ends, winners split the pool proportionally to their bet size.

// Example Race Pool
Total Pool: 1 ETH
CRIMSON: 0.6 ETH (60% of bets)
VENOM: 0.1 ETH (10% of bets)
// If CRIMSON wins → 1.58x payout
// If VENOM wins → 9.5x payout

The formula: Your Payout = (Your Bet ÷ Total Bets on Winner) × Pool × 0.95
