Follow a live Valtrums battle and read its status
Read a Valtrums battle page: what each status means, how live rounds and overtime appear, and where the recorded winner and round history are shown.
Each Valtrums battle has its own page with a countdown, a race chart, the competing communities, your position and the round history. This page explains what you see at each stage and what each status means.

Before the battle starts
While a battle is gathering, the chart shows a live price preview: the reference prices of the competing tokens, as percent change since you opened the page.
The preview is for display only. It is not used for scoring. Rounds are scored only from the price observations Valtrums records after the battle locks. A token without a matching price pool isn't drawn, and a line stays flat while nobody trades.
During rounds
Once the crews are locked, the chart switches to the recorded round observations. Each round lasts exactly 30 seconds. Round history lists each round's candidates, their scores and who was eliminated.
If a round's data is incomplete, the round stays pending. Missing data never counts as zero and never decides a winner.
Overtime
When two or more communities tie for the best score, the page shows Tied · Overtime and only the tied leaders play again. Every input resets. For example:
| Round | Price climb scores | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A +10%, B +10%, C +2% | A and B advance. C is eliminated, but its deposit stays locked. |
| 2 | A −3%, B −3% | Tie again. Another round. |
| 3 | A −4%, B −5% | A wins. B and C are both losing communities. |
There is no limit on overtime rounds. No new deposits are accepted while they run.
When the battle ends
The winner is shown as the recorded winner. Settlement then splits each losing community's deposit. Check the Portfolio page for your prize, and see Claim your rewards. If your community won, you can also take part in the winners' vote.
