Overview

What is Money Race?

Money Race is an AI-powered social savings game built on the Sui blockchain that turns saving money into a fun, competitive experience. Players create or join "savings rooms," commit to depositing a fixed amount of USDC periodically (daily or weekly), and race against each other to stay consistent. Funds are allocated to optimized DeFi yield strategies recommended by EigenAI, so your savings work harder while you play.

Consistent savers earn proportional yield rewards. Those who miss deposits simply receive a smaller share — your principal is always safe, and rewards are distributed fairly based on consistency. It's saving meets gaming meets DeFi.


🐜 Meet Our Mascot: Anto

Anto the Ant - Money Race Mascot

Anto the Ant embodies the core philosophy of Money Race.

We chose an ant as our mascot because ants exemplify the values we champion:

  • 🎯 Consistency — Ants work steadily every single day, never giving up

  • 📦 Preparation — They gather and save resources for the future, not just today

  • 🤝 Teamwork — Individual ants are small, but colonies achieve incredible feats together

  • 💪 Long-term Focus — Ants prioritize survival and growth over short-term risks

Just like ants, Money Race participants succeed by saving little by little, working together as a community, and focusing on sustainable financial habits rather than risky speculation.

Anto reminds us: Real progress comes from small, consistent actions done together.


The Vision

Saving money shouldn't feel like a chore. Traditional methods lack motivation, accountability, and fun. Money Race reimagines savings as a competitive social game where:

  • Community drives accountability — You save alongside real people, not alone

  • Competition creates motivation — Race to the top of the leaderboard

  • Rewards incentivize discipline — Consistent savers earn proportional yield rewards

  • AI optimizes your strategy — EigenAI recommends the best Sui DeFi protocols for your goals

  • Gamification keeps you engaged — Leaderboards and social features make every deposit exciting


How It Works

Money Race - How It Works Flowchart

Step 1: Login (Gasless)

Sign in with Google (zkLogin) or connect a Sui Wallet. No crypto wallet setup required for new users — just your Google account. All transactions are 100% gasless, you only need USDC.

Step 2: Create or Join a Room

Browse active savings rooms on the dashboard, or create your own. Set your deposit amount, period (daily or weekly), duration (minimum 7 days), and choose a strategy. Private rooms can be shared with a password.

Step 3: AI Strategy Recommendation

EigenAI analyzes your savings goals and recommends one of three strategies — Conservative (~4% APY), Balanced (~8% APY), or Aggressive (~15% APY). Each strategy allocates funds to different Sui DeFi protocols for optimal yield.

Step 4: Deposit Periodically

Make your USDC deposit each period (daily or weekly) to stay in the race. Every deposit is gasless — the backend sponsors all gas fees. Each successful deposit increases your deposited_count, which determines your share of the reward pool.

Step 5: Yield Accumulates

While you save, the Vault earns yield from DeFi protocols. Your principal is always safe. The reward pool grows over time based on your chosen strategy.

Step 6: Claim Rewards

When the room ends, claim your proportional share of principal + yield:

your_reward = (your_deposits / total_deposits) × total_yield

The more consistent you are, the bigger your share. No penalties — miss a deposit and you simply receive a smaller portion.


AI-Powered DeFi Strategy

Money Race uses EigenAI (deepseek-v31-terminus model) to analyze your savings goals and recommend the optimal strategy:

Strategy
Risk
Target APY
Sui DeFi Protocols

Conservative

Low

~4%

Scallop, Navi Protocol, Aftermath Finance

Balanced

Medium

~8%

Scallop, Cetus, Turbos, Navi

Aggressive

High

~15%

Cetus, Kriya, Turbos, Aftermath

The AI doesn't just pick a risk level — it explains why a strategy suits you, with detailed protocol allocations and reasoning. Supports both English and Indonesian prompts.

Note: Current testnet version uses simulated yield based on real protocol APY rates. Mainnet will integrate directly with Sui DeFi protocols for real yield generation.
