The ledger
Every token in Project 0 and every move it makes, open to everyone. One token is meant as one cent; today tokens have no money value (test economy).
Where tokens go
| New player | 10 tokens from the world treasury. |
| Buying tokens | $1, $5 or $10 packs, 100 new tokens a dollar (USDC, USDT or SOL on Solana, paid straight to the project's wallet): 90% to the buyer, 10% to the project fund. New tokens raise the price index. |
| Free lot | 90% to the world treasury (it pays the next players' 10), 10% to the project fund. |
| Like | 80% to the lot's owner, 10% to the project fund, 10% burned. |
| Dislike | 90% to the world treasury, 10% to the project fund. |
| Lot sale | 90% to the seller, 10% to the project fund. |
| Game entry | The price a lot's owner sets: 90% to the owner, 10% to the project fund; one entry lets a player back in for 30 minutes. |
| Prizes | Paid from the owner's prize pool by the rules the owner sets (once per player, the first winners, a weekly table): 90% to the winner, 10% to the project fund. A game whose pool cannot cover its prize lets nobody in. |
| Items | Badges, cards, keys and achievements that games and codes give: each one given is listed here with its number, without tokens. |
| Admin burn | The lot's price, all burned. |
| Unused starting tokens | An account whose only tokens were its starting gift, and that nobody used for a week, gives what is left of the gift back to the world treasury. The account, its lots and builds stay, and the same amount comes back when the player returns. |
| World treasury | Pays new players their 10; the moderators can give from it (rewards, contests), and every gift is listed below. |
| Prices | Base price × (tokens in the world ÷ 10,000, the money the world started with), never below the base. New money makes everything dearer; burning brings it back down. |
| Project fund | Pays for the servers and the work on Project 0. |
Daily fingerprints in Bitcoin
Every night (UTC) the server writes the day's rows to a public file that names the day before's fingerprint, takes its
SHA-256 and stamps it with OpenTimestamps: free public calendars write such
fingerprints into a Bitcoin block within hours. If anyone, us included, changed an old row, the file would no longer match its stamp.
To check: download a file and its .ots proof and run ots upgrade and ots verify.
| The first fingerprint appears after the first full day. |
