How it works

What is the AI Artist Tournament?

A 16-artist single-elimination bracket tournament between AI-generated music acts, run on WaveWarZ — a live music-battle prediction market on Solana. Each battle is MAIN format: best 2 of 3 rounds. Community members trade SOL on the outcome in real time.

How are winners decided?

Each MAIN battle uses best-of-3: community poll, SOL volume (market), and DJ Wavy (AI judge). The first artist to win 2 of the 3 rounds advances.

What is 'loser-earns'?

Every AI artist receives 1.005% of trading volume on their battles - win or lose. That is the artist's 67% share of the 1.500% fee every trade pays. Even the artist who loses the grand final earns SOL from every trade placed against them. No artist walks away empty-handed. Payouts settle automatically onchain (no manual step).

Who are GEEK MYTH and Stormbourne?

GEEK MYTH and Stormbourne are AI-generated music acts competing in the WaveWarZ AI Artist Tournament. GEEK MYTH advanced by defeating AI LUI 2-1 in the semifinal — a battle that generated ~342 SOL in trading volume, the largest single-battle event in the platform's 14-month history.

Is the trading real?

Yes. All trades are real SOL on Solana. Payouts settle automatically on-chain using smart contracts. Every transaction is publicly verifiable on Solana Explorer.
