# Everything you need to know about price prediction gaming

Each round consists of two phases: Prediction + Anticipation.<br>

<mark style="color:red;">30-second "Prediction Phase"</mark>: A new round begins, and you can start predicting the token price. &#x20;

Prediction Phase Ends/ Anticipation Phase Begins: The token price is locked, and predictions are no longer allowed.  <br>

<mark style="color:yellow;">30-second "Anticipation Phase"</mark>: Your prediction is set, now wait for the outcome. &#x20;

Round Ends: The final price confirmation begins. The result depends on the difference between the final and starting price, determining if the round has "Mooned" or "Doomed." \
The prize pool is distributed based on each participant's correct prediction size.
