Circles

Circles are your private friend groups. They are where real-money pots live, kept between the people you actually know.

Public points pots show up for everyone in the Discover feed. Real-money pots are different: they are private, and they always live inside a Circle. Only the friends you invite can see them or take a side.

Creating a circle

Start a circle

Give it a name your group will recognise, like a friend group, a league, or your work crew.

Invite friends

Add the people you want in it. Everyone in the circle can see and join the pots shared there.

Run pots together

Create a pot inside the circle and it stays private to those members. Outsiders never see it.

Real-money pots are private to a circle

A real-money pot is never public. When you create one you pick the circle it belongs to, and it is visible only to that circle's members. This keeps your money pots between trusted friends, which is the whole point of playing with real pots.

Private by default

Real-money pots are shared only with the circle you choose, never the public feed.

Your own money

Players use their own USDC. kapiche never holds, moves, or escrows it, and takes no cut of the pot.

Challenge to a money pot

Want a quick 1v1 instead of a whole circle? From a friend's profile you can Challenge to a money pot. It opens the create wizard pre-filled as a money pot with that friend, so you just set the question, sides and stake and send it.

The express challenge flow: a create-a-pot wizard pre-filled as a money pot with a specific friend. — Challenge a friend: an express 1v1 money pot, pre-filled and ready to send.

Pre-filled: the friend you challenged is already set as the other side.
Still real money: it uses your own USDC and settles peer-to-peer, just like any pot in a circle.
Fast: no need to build a circle first for a one-off head-to-head.

18+ for real money

Real-money pots, whether in a circle or an express challenge, use your own non-custodial wallet and are for players 18 and over. Free points pots have no money involved.

FAQ

Can people outside my circle see our money pots?

No. Real-money pots are private to the circle you create them in. Only invited members can see or join them.

Do I need a circle to play with real money?

For a group, yes. For a quick head-to-head you can skip it and use Challenge to a money pot from a friend's profile.

Can a circle have more than two people?

Yes. Invite as many friends as you like, then run pots the whole group can take a side on.
