overview
Pebble is a 1v1 wagering game built natively on Base. Matches are 30 seconds, blind-pick, three moves. Winner takes the pot. No yield promises, no faucet economy β every dollar paid out comes from another player. The game works the way poker works: as long as people want to play, it works.
02
gameplay
Best of three rounds. Each round, both players pick one of three moves β Attack, Defend, or Counter β in five seconds, blind. Moves reveal simultaneously. Attack beats Counter. Counter beats Defend. Defend beats Attack. A round win deals 40 HP. First to zero loses. Characters belong to one of three archetypes (Striker, Guardian, Trickster) that get bonus damage on their favored move, creating a rock-paper-scissors layer at character select.
03
wager mechanics
Four wager tiers run in parallel. Players only match within their tier and skill bracket. Every pot resolves 95% to the winner, 3% to treasury, 2% burned permanently. Every match reduces circulating supply.

token
The $PEBBLE token is a B20 Asset on Base. It pays for gas β you never need ETH. It burns on every match, reducing supply as game activity grows. There is no presale and no private allocations being offloaded on retail. Full tokenomics will be published before public launch.
05
why base + b20
Base activated the B20 token standard in the Beryl hardfork on June 25, 2026. B20 gives Pebble three things: gas paid in our own token (no ETH friction ever), per-player virtual deposit addresses at the chain level, and indexed wallet data direct from Base nodes (no third-party indexer). This is the first cycle where a game like Pebble could be built to feel like a real game and not a crypto exercise.
06
roadmap
Founders Alpha (invite-only closed testing) β Open Beta (public waitlist, all tiers unlocked) β Season 1 Launch (full public release with seasonal cosmetics) β Full Decentralization (commit-reveal match resolution, community governance). Timelines are directional; we ship when itβs ready.
