The weekly race
Every launch that competes has a window to earn fees. Each week, launches are ranked by the fees they generated, and the top three share the weekly pot: 50%, 30% and 20%. A payout cap means a launch is never paid more than 60% of its own fee score. The rest rolls into the next week.
The pot is funded by 10% of the pool fees on every buy across the platform.
Weeks are numbered from 1 on the site and in messages; the chain counts from 0 (epoch), and API fields keep the chain’s number.
