Bitok Arena competition entries are on-chain Bitcoin transactions — and Muun Wallet is designed to make every Bitcoin user fully comfortable with both on-chain and Lightning payments from a single, non-custodial interface. For Muun users, entering the competition requires no extra setup: the on-chain address Muun generates is yours to control, and a standard send to the master wallet places your position on the leaderboard.
A wallet that handles Lightning and on-chain from one place does not split your Bitcoin practice into two separate tools. It simplifies it. The address stays yours regardless of which layer you use it for.
Understanding what Muun does differently — and how its unified address model works in the context of a mainnet competition — gives Muun users the complete picture before their first competitive entry.
What Makes Muun Different from Standard Wallets
Most Bitcoin wallets handle either on-chain payments or Lightning Network payments, with hardware or separate apps required to use both. Muun takes a different approach: it gives every user a single Bitcoin address that works for both payment types simultaneously. When someone sends you a Lightning payment, Muun uses a submarine swap in the background to settle the transaction on-chain — the funds arrive at your on-chain address regardless of how they were sent.
This design is fully non-custodial. Muun generates your private key on your device and never transmits it to any server. You have access to your recovery phrase at setup, which gives you independent access to your funds regardless of whether the Muun app or company exists. The address is yours in the same way any hardware wallet address is yours — the key is on your device, and only you can sign transactions from it.
For a Bitok Arena competition entry, the relevant property is simple: Muun is a self-custodial wallet, and your on-chain Bitcoin address is fully yours. The Lightning capability is an additional feature that does not interfere with on-chain transactions. When you send BTC from Muun to the master wallet, the transaction goes out as a standard on-chain Bitcoin send and is recorded on the blockchain under your address.
Sending from Muun to the Competition
Open the Muun app and tap Send. Paste the master wallet address from the platform — Muun will automatically detect that it is a standard on-chain Bitcoin address and process it accordingly. Enter the amount and confirm the transaction. Muun shows the network fee before you confirm; select a fee level appropriate for the time remaining in the round. Under normal network conditions, a medium fee setting confirms well within the competition window.
If you want to add to your position during the round, open Muun, tap Send again, and use the same master wallet address. Every confirmed transaction from your Muun address during the round accumulates to your total leaderboard position. The leaderboard updates as each transaction confirms on the Bitcoin network.
Your Muun address does one thing in this context: it represents you on the blockchain. Whether you use it for Lightning payments the rest of the day is irrelevant to the competition. The on-chain record is what the leaderboard reads.
Prizes paid to a top-three address arrive in the Muun wallet as a standard on-chain receive. The BTC appears in your balance, and your recovery phrase ensures access to it regardless of any app or service state. What you won in the competition is yours — stored under the same keys that entered it.
