what is typebag

Typing duels for real stakes

TypeBag is a 1v1 typing race for money: both players get the same 30 to 60 second passage, and the faster, more accurate typist wins 90% of it. Play free with no account, or stake $1 to $10 in USDC on Solana and withdraw whenever you want.

How a duel works

  1. 01Pick a stakeFree at $0, or ante $1, $3, $5 or $10 in USDC. Free duels need no deposit and no account — the paid tiers are rated, the free tier is not.
  2. 02Get matched and raceMatchmaking pairs you with another player at the same tier. Both of you get the identical passage at the identical instant, roughly 30 to 60 seconds of typing. If the queue is empty you can duel a ghost: a real player's recorded run, replayed keystroke for keystroke.
  3. 03Faster typist takes the bagFirst to finish the passage accurately wins. The winner takes 90% of the pot and TypeBag rakes 10%. Settlement is instant to your balance, and withdrawals to your own Solana wallet are open whenever you want them — there is no clearing window.

Common questions

Is TypeBag free to try?
Yes. The free tier costs $0, needs no deposit and no account, and is open to every skill level. It is unrated, so it never moves your rating and never appears on the rated leaderboards. Paid stakes start at $1.
Is this gambling?
No. It is a skill contest: two typists race the same passage and the faster, more accurate one wins. There is no random number generator and no house edge on the outcome — TypeBag takes a flat 10% rake on the pot. Deposits are blocked in places where real-money skill contests are not permitted.
How do I get paid?
Winnings land in your TypeBag balance the moment a duel settles. Withdraw to your own Solana wallet in USDC, or take the payout in SOL, whenever you like. Larger withdrawals get a manual review before they go out.
What is a good typing speed for this?
The commonly cited adult average is around 40 WPM. Around 80 WPM is comfortably above average, 100 WPM is fast, and 150 WPM is elite. You can win at any speed, because you are matched against players near your own rating rather than against the whole field.
