What is fwc?

FWC is the pre-launch website for a betting and crypto token site built around the 2026 Football World Cup, running on the Solana blockchain. The idea is to let people put SOL, Solana's cryptocurrency, into shared betting pools tied to matches, and to give each of the 48 qualified nations its own Pump.fun token that people can pre-buy ahead of launch. A share of transaction fees is meant to flow into a buy and burn loop for the project's own hub token, called FWC. What is actually live right now, according to the project, includes connecting a Phantom crypto wallet, reading token balances from the Solana network, signing and sending real transactions, pre-buying a nation's coin with SOL that gets recorded in a Supabase database, reserving positions on outright winner betting markets, a public ledger of those reservations with links to view them on Solscan, and a page showing how much SOL has been burned from the project's creator vault. Live match betting, the actual token launches on Pump.fun, and the automated worker that runs the claim, buy, and burn cycle are all listed as not yet built. To run it yourself, you install dependencies with npm, copy an example environment file and fill in Supabase and RPC connection details, set up a Supabase project using the provided SQL schema, and start the development server. A treasury wallet keypair is generated locally on first run and is meant to be moved somewhere secure before the site goes live. On the technical side, this is a Next.js 16 application using TypeScript in strict mode, Tailwind for styling, Solana's web3.js library for wallet connections and on-chain reads, and Supabase as the Postgres backed database with row level security rules. The README notes the server independently checks each submitted transaction against the blockchain rather than trusting what the browser reports, before recording a reservation. The project describes itself as independent and not affiliated with any tournament organizer or federation.
