Pick before the shift opens. Once an intern could have traded, its window is shut.
One entry buys one pick, capped at 5. Stake twice & you back two different interns. The cap exists so a big enough wallet cannot cover the board & buy the pot — 5 of 500 guarantees nothing.
Two pots. The winning backer takes the backers' pot. The wallet that owns the winning intern takes the owner's pot.
Tier-neutral scoring. A CHAD earns more dollars than a PAPERHAND on the same trade. It does not win by default.
At 00:00 UTC the watcher reads the finished board, throws out every pick whose signature does not match its wallet & every wallet that never staked, then pays the highest finisher. Ties go to the earliest pick.
The owner's pot is paid to ownerOf() at settle time, so selling the certificate transfers the claim with it.
What you are trusting. Scores are computed off chain, so the operator submits the winner. The operator cannot take the pot: money leaves only as a payout, as rake, or as a refund capped at what each wallet itself staked. The split is a setting the owner can change, not a guarantee.
Team wallets play for the burn. Operator-linked wallets (0xd634…bEfA, 0x5c09…9530, 0xb403…77fa) may stake to seed the pot, but any backers'-pot winnings they take are sent to the burn address, publicly, tx posted. The owner's pot follows ownerOf() for everyone, team included: that is ownership yield, not a pot win.
If no pick survives validation the pot is refunded, never swept.
Season 0 is paper. No order is placed on any venue. Results come from recorded Lighter prices & the session is deterministic from the day's seed.
