HOW TO PLAY
$CHAOS is a staking game with one moving part: a roll every 15 minutes that nobody controls. Stake into it and the contract decides, every round, what your rewards are multiplied by and what it costs you to leave. That is the whole game.
GET $CHAOS
Buy it on the launchpad.
Traders pay a 5% tax. Most of that comes straight back to stakers as rewards.
ONE ROUND, START TO FINISH
THE REGIME ROLL
The regime sets your reward multiplier for that round — nothing else. It does not set your tax; that is its own roll, except for the two regimes flagged below.
| REGIME | CHANCE | MULTIPLIER | EFFECT ON TAX |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEAD ZONE | 25% | ×25 | none |
| MEAN REVERSION | 25% | ×50 | none |
| FOMO | 20% | ×100 | none |
| GOD CANDLE | 15% | ×200 | none |
| TAX SEASON | 10% | ×50 | both taxes ×3, capped at 90% |
| COSMIC JACKPOT | 5% | ×1000 | all taxes forced to 1% |
THE TAX ROLL
Taxes are a separate roll from the regime — the contract slices them out of different bits of the same seed, so a GOD CANDLE round can still carry a 90% exit tax. Only two regimes touch the tax at all: TAX SEASON triples both taxes, COSMIC JACKPOT forces both to 1%. Total tax is hard-capped at 90%.
| EXIT BAND | CHANCE | RATES | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|
| NORMAL | 55% | 1% · 3% · 5% · 10% · 15% · 25% | weighted low — 1% and 3% are 80% of this band |
| THE VOID | 30% | 50% · 60% · 70% · 80% · 90% | the expensive rounds; 50/60% are two thirds of them |
| FREE WINDOW | 15% | 1% flat | the cheap exodus round |
| ENTRY | CHANCE | NOTE |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | 40% | free entry |
| 1% | 25% | |
| 2% | 15% | |
| 3% | 10% | |
| 5% | 10% | the worst it gets |
QUESTIONS
Who decides the roll?
No player does. The block hash does not exist when the roll is committed, so whoever pays for it cannot check the result first and decline a bad one, and there is no admin key after launch. The honest exception is the chain itself — see below.
So who is trusted?
The sequencer. Robinhood Chain decides which block backs the hash that seeds a roll and your exit draw, and it can filter transactions. A hostile or compromised one could bias rounds in its favour, influence a particular exit's rate, or delay someone's redeem. That is a property of the chain rather than this contract, and no code here can fix it — the chain runs two whitelisted validators with no fraud proofs and no exit window. If that is not a risk you want, this is not a game to play.
Who pushes the epoch forward?
The clock does. The epoch number is worked out from the time, so it advances whether or not anyone sends a transaction — nobody can hold a good round open. What still needs a transaction is the round's roll, and whoever completes it is paid a small tip out of the reward pool, so bots do it within seconds. Staking, unstaking and claiming all push it along too. If it is still pending the button is on the game page.
What exactly happens when I leave?
Two steps. Requesting an exit takes that amount out of the reward pool immediately — queued to leave means no longer earning — and pins your tax to a block that has not been mined yet, about half a minute out. Once that block exists you redeem and pay whatever you drew. There is no cap to set, no cancel, and no waiting for a cheap window: nothing anyone does after you ask can change your draw. Your draw stays readable for about 50 minutes — redeem inside that window, or lock the rate and redeem whenever you like. Anyone can lock or settle anyone's exit and both jobs pay 1% of that exit's tax, so strangers have a reason to do it for you. Waiting costs nothing except that the queued amount earns nothing until you settle, and an unlocked draw that ages out simply re-rolls.
Where do rewards come from?
Entry and exit taxes, plus the launchpad's 4% creator tax and the ETH creator fees. 95% of every inflow goes to stakers; 5% is the fixed dev cut.
What stops the dev from dumping?
The dev's CHAOS cut is a staking position with no unstake path in the contract — the function simply does not exist. It compounds forever and eats every VOID round alongside everyone else. Its size is on the game page.
Can the pot run dry?
It pays proportionally — a share of the pot, never a fixed amount — so it decays toward zero without ever overdrafting. Solvency is enforced by contract invariants: it can never pay out more than it holds.
What is the catch?
THE VOID. Roughly three exits in ten land between 50% and 90%, and you commit to leaving before you know which one you drew — no cap to set, no cancel, no clever moment to click. The bot and the tourist pay the same on average. That is not a flaw in the game, it is the game. The quieter catch: rewards come out of other people trading, so a quiet week pays a quiet amount. It is a game, not a yield product. Play it like one.
This is an unaudited experiment. You can lose most of what you stake: exit taxes reach 90%, rewards depend on other people trading, and nobody can refund you — there is no admin key. It is a game, not an investment. Only stake what you are willing to lose.
