The 60-second version
OPEN
OUTCRY_
A game about showing up.
4,663 cartoon floor traders on Robinhood Chain. Ring the bell, earn $TICK and stay off the liquidation tape.
The whole game in one breath
Show up, you earn.
Disappear, you become the trade.
Your seat accrues $TICK while you keep ringing the Opening Bell. Earnings stay exposed until you settle them.
Miss your protection window and your pile can hit the public tape. Other traders burn their own $TICK for the right to raid it.
Attention is the asset.
Your permanent role
Every seat has an edge.
Class is assigned at reveal. It changes how fast you earn and when you can hunt — never through a paid upgrade.
4,663 seats
| Class | Seats | Earn | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper Hands | 2,798 | 1× | Cannot raid |
| After-Hours | 1,166 | 1.25× | 16h protection |
| Whale | 466 | 1.5× | Predator |
| Market Maker | 210 | 2× | Halt premiums |
| Insider | 23 | 3× | First raid hour |
One wallet can hold many seats. Each earns independently, but one player can occupy only one Closing Bell chair.
The Opening Bell
Keep the clock alive.
One wallet action rings every seat you hold. Standard seats receive 12 hours of protection; After-Hours Traders receive 16 hours.
Ringing renews protection, but rewards settle only once per 24-hour earning period. Ringing more often does not create more $TICK.
Your streak grows toward a 3× ceiling. Miss the window and the current reward fails while your streak is cut in half.
Move an NFT before its earning period finishes and that seat's provisional reward is cancelled for the cycle.
Safe versus exposed
$TICK is yours
when you settle it.
Earnings first arrive as unclaimed $TICK. Leave them there and they remain inside the attendance game.
Claimed $TICK is permanently safe. But miss with at least 250 unclaimed and a 24-hour raid window opens.
Once the window opens, ringing late cannot cancel it. Dust below 250 is never raidable.
The Liquidation Tape
The hunters arrive
in order.
Paper Hands can never raid. The first valid hunter burns a stake equal to 20% of the target.
Raid a 1,000 $TICK balance
| Raider stake burned | 200 |
| Raider receives, still unclaimed | 500 |
| Burned from target | 250 |
| Victim keeps, still unclaimed | 250 |
The Closing Bell
Ten chairs.
One ETH prize.
Burn exactly 100 $TICK to take or refresh a chair. Only the ten most recent unique active players remain seated.
Each entry adds 90 seconds until the round has received 24 hours of extensions. After that, chairs still move but the deadline does not. Maximum round: 48 hours.
At zero, 80% of the vault goes newest-first:
40 · 20 · 10 · 8 · 6 · 5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 2%
The other 20% rolls over. Winners must still hold an active NFT when the bell rings.
Why buy $TICK?
Your ticket keeps
getting used up.
Permanent sinks
| Closing Bell chair | 100 burned |
| The Pit cosmetic attempt | 400 $TICK |
| Raid stake | 20% burned |
| Trading Halt insurance | 80% burned |
| Claims | 2% / 10% burned |
Consistent players can live from emissions. Competitive players buy the shortfall when they want more chairs, raids, protection or cosmetic status than they earned.
Where the ETH goes
The prize funds itself.
The creators receive disclosed ETH royalties. They receive zero free $TICK.
ETH revenue routes
| Activity | Creator | Prize Vault |
|---|---|---|
| OpenSea NFT sale | 2.5% | 2.5% |
| Official v4 $TICK trade | 3% | 7% |
The v4 charge is taken from the ETH side on buys and sells. The Prize Vault pays ETH without ever selling $TICK.
A 10% charge each way is roughly 19% round-trip friction before price impact and gas. It must earn its place in simulation.
The launch tape
A ~$2 mint
seeds the market.
Mint price: 0.0011 ETH per NFT — about $2.10 at the illustrative ETH price.
Full-mint liquidity
| Full sellout | 5.1293 ETH |
| Mint proceeds sent to pool | 100% |
| Illustrative starting FDV | ~$29.4k |
| Illustrative pool TVL | ~$19.6k |
No primary proceeds go to creators, prizes or costs. USD figures assume $1,913.13/ETH and a full sellout; all ETH raised seeds the locked pool.
The loop
Ring.
Risk.
Raid.
Take a chair.
The bell rewards attention and turns absence into opportunity.
