Daily Pot

Every day an ant colony picks how big today's pot is, from five sizes. Most of it burns. A small part is shared with the stakers on the size it picks.

Testnet play token. No mainnet. How it works

Pot colony

1×

The colony runs from 12:00 to 24:00 UTC, one tick a second, from a seed drawn from drand. Before 12:00 the map shows a sample map; its ants wander and collect nothing.

Each dot is one of the colony's ants. A wallet's stake hatches ants in its colour; the grey ones belong to nobody. Hover a wallet to light up its ants here and on the map; click to keep the light on.

The colony picks the size at 24:00 UTC: most of the pot burns, a small part is shared with the stakers on that size.

Size · burn and share if picked, $ANTOstaked

The contract caps the pot at 2.00%. The handicap scales a size's food, stakes included, so bigger pots are harder to pick.

Amount
$ANTO

Weight is the square root of your stake on a size: 25 → 5, 100 → 10.

Staking sends a real testnet transaction with play tokens. Your first visit gets 150 $ANTO, once.

Who decides: the colony, from a seed nobody picks. Stakes add food to a size's pile, so its trail grows; the handicap makes bigger pots harder to pick.

Influence is by the square root of your stake, so four times the stake gives twice the weight. Your share, if your size is picked, is by your plain stake, split with everyone else on that size.

A stake counts for every day until you withdraw it, and stays locked until every day it counts for has paid. One cap covers the pot, markets and requests together. When a stake counts

The last 14 days, read from the contract at past blocks: each day's stakes and treasury at 23:55 UTC, before its pot is paid, and its finished run at 11:30 the next day. Burned and shared are the menu's amounts at that treasury (the payout uses the treasury of the moment it runs, a few tokens apart). Days before day 20,755 ran under the first rules and burned the whole pot. Every day is on History. $ANTO, whole tokens.
