Every coin is its own water

When you launch a coin on Whale Pad, you dig a puddle. As its market cap grows, the water grows with it, right there on the map.

Every holder is a fish

Your fish is sized by your share of that coin's supply. Buy and it grows in front of everyone. Sell out and it turns into a ghost that drifts away.

One golden fish in every water

Every hour, each water draws one holder at random and turns them gold. It's one wallet, one ticket, so the smallest minnow has the same odds as the biggest whale. The golden fish takes the golden share of every trade fee in that water until the next draw. The draw's seed is committed before it runs and published after, so anyone can check it.

Where the fees go

Every trade pays a small fee. It splits three ways.

Example split. Final fees are set at launch.

Launching a coin

1. Dig a puddle. Pick a name and a ticker. Your puddle appears on the map.
2. Fill it. Early buys fill the puddle along a bonding curve.
3. Break the banks. At a $50K market cap the puddle overflows into a pond and trades on the open market.
4. Grow. Lake at $500K, sea at $5M, ocean at $50M.
