Product
Arcade Cafe turns the house side of provably fair games into a transparent Solana vault.
Most online game bankrolls are closed balance sheets. Players cannot inspect the real risk. LPs cannot underwrite the vault. Agents cannot monitor receipts, exposure, drawdown, or yield programmatically.
Arcade Cafe changes that.
The first games are 99 Dice and Sweeper Tower. They generate wager flow into a shared USDC-backed house vault. The long-term product is not just the games. The product is the bankroll: a transparent, programmable, risk-capped vault where outcomes can be verified and the house side can become an investable Solana primitive.
Why this is worth backing
Arcade Cafe is built around one thesis:
The vault is the product. Games are the demand engine.
Arcade Cafe combines:
- Provably fair games
- Shared house liquidity
- Public receipts
- Commit-reveal randomness
- Bankroll risk limits
- REST and MCP interfaces
- x402-paid actions
- A future LP-side agent surface
The agent angle is not "agents should gamble." Sophisticated agents belong on the LP side. Treasury agents should be able to monitor NAV, GGR, drawdown, utilization, receipts, and risk, then decide whether to deposit, hold, or withdraw.
That is why Arcade Cafe fits Futardio: treasury spending, risk caps, new games, protocol fees, audits, incentives, and growth campaigns are exactly the kinds of decisions that should be governed transparently.
What exists today
Arcade Cafe already has:
- A working product surface at https://arcade.cafe
- 99 Dice and Sweeper Tower games
- Wallet identity and wallet-session auth
- x402 paid-play infrastructure
- REST and MCP surfaces
- Public activity, rankings, and receipt views
- Commit-reveal fairness and verifier payloads
- A
/housesurface for bankroll, NAV, and risk positioning - Protocol V1 architecture for a USDC vault, non-transferable LP shares, player balances, hard exposure caps, and fraud-proof verification
The remaining work is productization: make the vault obvious, make LP onboarding smooth, make agent access real, and drive initial volume.
Use of funds
Target raise: $200,000 USDC
Planned allocation:
| Category | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering and product | $70,000 | Vault UI, LP flows, MCP tools, analytics endpoints, verifier polish |
| Security review and audits | $45,000 | Protocol review, game math review, frontend/API review, follow-up fixes |
| Growth and launch campaigns | $45,000 | Player acquisition, LP onboarding, referrals, creator/streamer tests, launch events |
| Operations, legal, and compliance | $25,000 | Entity, legal review, policy, infrastructure, accounting |
| Protocol-owned liquidity | $15,000 | Initial liquidity and launch-market support |
DAO treasury funds are separate from the bankroll vault. The bankroll vault backs games and LP positions. Treasury spending funds product, audits, growth, operations, and protocol-owned liquidity.

Market and differentiation
Arcade Cafe is not trying to be another closed casino.
The differentiated product is a transparent bankroll vault:
- Players can verify outcomes
- LPs can inspect risk
- Agents can read the system programmatically
- The DAO can govern treasury spending and protocol parameters
- Future protocols can compose around the vault's public signal
Most DeFi yield products are transparent but do not have game-driven GGR. Most game operators have GGR but hide the balance sheet. Arcade Cafe combines the two.
Governance
The ACAFE token is intended to govern the Arcade Cafe DAO, treasury spending, protocol-owned liquidity, future product funding, and protocol parameters.
ACAFE is not intended to be an LP share and should not be treated as a direct claim on the bankroll vault. Bankroll participation should happen through the separate vault / LP-share mechanism.
Governance should control:
- Treasury spending above the monthly limit
- Protocol-owned liquidity changes
- New game funding
- Risk parameter changes
- Protocol fee changes
- Growth and incentive campaigns
- Material project or entity decisions
Risks
This project has real risks:
- Vault yield depends on wager volume
- The house has positive expected value, but short-term variance can create losses
- Smart contracts and backend infrastructure can contain bugs
- Gaming and token regulation may affect product availability
- Agent adoption is early
- Legal, DAO, token, and bankroll boundaries must be handled carefully
Arcade Cafe will disclose these risks clearly. The goal is not to hide the house. The goal is to make the house inspectable.
