Trading & rewards
Every single Diggers coin runs its own tournament, every single day, forever. The top 10 diggers of each 24 hour shift split a pot funded by the coin's own trading fees, paid out in the coin itself, settled by pure code.
Digging pts accumulate all shift
First trade past the deadline settles the pot
New 24h shift starts instantly
Each coin's clock starts at launch and rolls in 24 hour shifts. All day, trades feed two things at once: your digging points climb the board, and the harvest fills the pot with the token-side fee share that was not burned. When the shift ends, settlement does not wait for a server or an admin: the first transfer past the deadline settles the pot automatically, or anyone can press the Settle button to trigger it. Either way the next 24 hours begin the moment it lands.
At settlement, each of the shift's top 10 point scorers receives exactly one tenth of the pot, in the coin itself, pushed straight to their wallet. One condition: you must still be holding the coin when the shift settles. Diggers who sold everything and walked away forfeit their slice, and forfeited slices stay in the pot, rolling over to fatten tomorrow's prize.
Slot 10 is the door. Score one more point than the lowest digger and you take the seat. Ties keep the incumbent.
The whole ceremony lives inside the token contract. No cron job, no operator, no multisig signing payouts. If Diggers the website disappeared, every coin's contest would keep settling on schedule for as long as anyone trades it.
Every coin runs its own rolling 24 hour epoch. Trades score digging points (buys worth four times sells), and when the epoch ends, the top 10 point scorers each receive one tenth of the coin's Daily Contest Pot, paid in the coin itself.
From the coin's own trading fees. The token side of every harvest, after the burn share, accrues into the pot. More volume means a bigger pot, automatically.
Yes. A top 10 spot only pays if the wallet still holds the coin when the epoch settles. Winners who sold everything forfeit their share, and forfeited shares roll into the next day's pot.
The first transfer after the epoch deadline triggers settlement automatically, and anyone can poke it with the Settle button on the coin page. Settlement runs inside the carrying transaction and can never block a trade.
The mechanics are identical everywhere; only the pot size differs, since each coin's pot is funded by its own volume and its creator's chosen burn/pot split.
