linepad is one token and an open field of NFT lines. The token pays for the fight; the lines are the fighters. Five rules, no exceptions.
§1 epochs
Time is cut into 24-hour epochs, 00:00 → 00:00 UTC. Every line starts each epoch at a score of zero. Lines themselves never reset — a line can win, lose, and come back.
§2 the vault
The crown vault is the $LINE creator wallet on pump.fun, so every creator reward lands there. Launch fees of 0.05 SOL per line and 5% of every mint go there too. It only ever pays out to winners.
§3 score
score = V × √H, where V is SOL volume of the line's mints and trades inside the epoch and H is unique holders at the snapshot. Buying your own line from ten wallets moves volume, not trust — the root keeps whales honest.
§4 settlement
At 00:00 UTC a snapshot is taken and the #1 line is final. The whole vault is paid out: 50% to the line's creator, 50% to its holders pro-rata by NFTs held. The vault restarts at zero.
§5 ties & limits
Ties go to the line that reached the score first. The team takes 0% of the vault. The team can't pick the winner and can't pause a payout.
