How ROLLSTONK works
The mechanism in full — weighting, randomness, prize sizing, and how to check any roll for yourself.
Overview
ROLLSTONK attaches to a coin that already exists. The coin redirects its creator fees to a reward wallet; every hour that wallet buys a real tokenized stock and hands the entire pool to one holder, picked by a weighted draw.
It does not launch coins and it never takes custody of anyone's tokens. The creator sets the fee redirect themselves and can remove it at any time.
- One winner per hour, per attached coin — the whole pool, not a fraction of it
- Rewards are real tokenized equities, bought on the open market at roll time
- No qualifying threshold: holding a single token puts you in the draw
- Every roll is reconstructible from public data by anyone who wants to check
A roll is a game of chance. Most hours you will win nothing — that is the direct trade-off for a prize large enough to matter.
How a roll works
Each cycle runs the same four steps, once every sixty minutes:
- Fees accrue — the attached coin's creator fees collect in its reward wallet
- Stock is bought — the pool buys the coin's chosen tokenized stock on the open market
- The roll — a weighted draw selects one holder from the eligible set
- Claim — the result is published as a single on-chain commitment, and the winner claims it directly
Why one winner instead of an even split
Splitting a pool across every qualifying wallet sounds fairer, but the arithmetic works against it. A pool worth a couple of hundred dollars divided among a couple of hundred wallets pays about a dollar each — an amount too small to notice, delivered at a cost that often exceeds it.
A proportional draw pays exactly the same amount on average. Only the variance changes: instead of everyone receiving something forgettable, one person receives the whole thing.
Eligibility and weighting
- Weighting
- Proportional to holdings
- Snapshot
- 60-minute time-weighted average balance
- Minimum holding
- None
- Excluded
- Liquidity pools, the bot wallet, team wallets
Why there is no minimum
Weight is proportional, so splitting a bag across a hundred wallets produces exactly the same total weight as holding it in one. Wallet-splitting gains nothing, which means a qualifying threshold would add no protection — it would only exclude small holders for no reason.
Why the snapshot is time-weighted
Your weight is your average balance across the whole hour, not your balance at the moment of the draw. Buying a large position a minute before a roll earns roughly a sixtieth of the weight it would appear to deserve. This removes the incentive to buy in and sell out around each cycle, and it does so without locking anyone's tokens.
How the winner is chosen
The draw uses a commit-reveal scheme anchored to a future block, so the outcome cannot exist at the time the commitment is made.
- When the roll opens, a hash of a secret seed is published
- A target block roughly an hour ahead is designated
- Once that block finalises, its hash is combined with the seed to select the winning weight
- The seed is then revealed, so anyone can recompute the result and confirm it
Because the commitment is published before the deciding block exists, the winner cannot be chosen after the fact. Anyone can verify a past roll from public data alone.
Timestamps and unrevealed seeds are not used as randomness anywhere in this process. Both are trivially manipulable by whoever runs the draw.
Prize sizing and claims
- Pool up to $2,000
- 100% to a single winner
- Pool above $2,000
- 70% to one winner, 30% shared across ten runners-up
- Claim window
- 7 days
- Unclaimed prizes
- Return to the following pool
The ladder is fixed in advance rather than adjusted later. Rules that move once people are already playing by them are worse than rules that are merely imperfect.
Why claims instead of automatic sends
Pushing rewards out to hundreds of wallets means paying an account-creation and network cost for each recipient, which is what causes reward systems to quietly fall behind on what they promised. Publishing one commitment per hour and letting winners claim keeps that cost flat whether a coin has fifty holders or fifty thousand.
Where the value goes
No portion reaches a team wallet. The 2% funds the Grand Roll — a larger daily draw open to anyone holding $ROLL — so the amount routed away from a coin's own pool goes back into a draw that its holders can enter too.
Attaching a coin
Setup runs through the bot and costs only network gas. The creator keeps control throughout.
- Open the bot and start the attach flow with your coin's mint address
- Choose which tokenized stock the rolls should pay out in
- Fund the reward wallet with a small amount for network costs
- Point your coin's creator fee share at that wallet
- Rolls begin on the next hourly cycle
The fee redirect stays under the creator's control and can be changed or removed at any time. Attaching does not transfer ownership of anything.
Verifying a roll yourself
Four figures are published each cycle and they have to reconcile: fees collected, stock bought, prize paid, and the remainder left in the wallet. If they disagree, the row is flagged — including when the discrepancy is ours.
- Every purchase and payout links to its transaction
- The published commitment and revealed seed let you recompute any past winner
- Wallet balances are readable by anyone at any time, without asking us
Nothing in the reconciliation is self-reported. If a claim about a roll cannot be checked against the chain, treat it as unverified.
FAQ
What are the rewards, exactly?
Tokenized equities — on-chain instruments issued against real shares, funds and commodities. They are bought on the open market at the time of each roll. Nothing is minted or simulated by this protocol.
Do I have to stake or lock anything?
No. Holding the coin is the whole requirement. Your tokens stay in your wallet and remain freely transferable at all times.
What are my odds?
Your chance of winning equals your share of eligible supply, measured as a time-weighted average across the hour. Holding five percent of the eligible supply gives roughly a five percent chance on that roll.
What happens if nobody claims?
After seven days an unclaimed prize returns to the pool, which makes the following roll larger.
Is there a token?
Not yet. The mechanism is being proven on real coins first. A token launched before the thing it describes actually works is only a promise.
Can the team pick the winner?
No. The commitment for each roll is published before the block that decides it has been produced, and the seed is revealed afterwards so the result can be recomputed independently.
ROLLSTONK is a game of chance, not a return on capital. Prizes depend entirely on an attached coin's fee activity and on the outcome of a weighted draw — most rolls return nothing to any given holder. Tokenized equities carry market and issuer risk independent of this protocol, and holding them is not the same as holding the underlying share. Nothing here is financial advice. Never commit funds you cannot afford to lose.
