The 24-Hour Conviction Window

Day 0 (Hour 0): EndGame Triggers

When the prize vault drops below threshold, EndGame activates automatically. A merkle snapshot captures every holder's balance at that exact moment—this becomes your immutable proof of ownership. No one, including the team, can alter your snapshot balance after the fact.

Hours 0-24: The Early Bird Window

This is your golden opportunity. Send 100% of your END tokens (your merkle balance + any EndGame claim) to the redemption wallet within 24 hours. Hit this deadline and you receive:

• MAXIMUM free S1 allocation
• MAXIMUM presale cap
• +10% 100% Conversion Bonus (for going all-in)
• +10% Early Bird Bonus (for acting fast)
• = 120% total of your base allocation

Speed + commitment = maximum reward.

Days 2-3: Standard Window

Missed the first 24 hours? You still have two more days to send tokens. Here's the key distinction:

• 100% redemption in Standard window = You get 110% of your base allocation (base + 10% conversion bonus, no Early Bird bonus)
• Partial redemption in any window = Power curve reduces your allocation

The Early Bird bonus is purely a timing reward. The power curve is purely about commitment level. These are independent mechanics—don't confuse them.

After Day 3: Presale & Launch

Private presale opens exclusively for those who redeemed at least 25%—you get a 15% better rate than public participants. Public presale follows for newcomers. Then S1 launches with LP live by January 20, 2026.

The principle is simple: believers who act fast get the best deal.

The Power Curve (n=1.5)

The power curve penalizes partial commitment—how much you redeem, not when. Your effective allocation equals (redemption_percent/100)^1.5:

The exponent creates a non-linear penalty that rewards full commitment disproportionately over hedging. If you're going to participate, go all in.

Token Pools: 90M + 90M = 180M for OGs

• FREE Pool: 90M S1 distributed automatically upon END conversion
• Presale Cap Pool: 90M S1 purchase rights (SOL required)
• Combined private allocation represents 18% of S1's 1 billion supply

Two Stacked Bonuses

There are TWO separate additive bonuses that stack:

1. 100% Conversion Bonus (+10%) - for converting ALL your tokens (any timing)
2. Early Bird Bonus (+10%) - for converting within 24 hours

A user with 1,000,000 base allocation gets:

• 100% in Early Bird: 1,200,000 FREE + 1,200,000 presale cap = 2,400,000 total potential (120%)
• 100% in Standard: 1,100,000 FREE + 1,100,000 presale cap = 2,200,000 total potential (110%)
• Partial (<100%): Power curve applies, no bonuses

Fee Tolerance

Token2022's 1% transfer fee could theoretically disqualify legitimate redemptions. The system accepts any transfer where received >= expected * 0.99, handling fee variance without penalizing users for on-chain mechanics they can't control.

Donor Tiers (Multiplicative)

Champion tier uses a sliding formula: boost = 1.50 + (your_donation / max_donation) * 0.50

Bug Reporter Boost (Multiplicative)

+4% per verified bug, capping at 20% (5 bugs). Community members who helped improve the product get permanent recognition.

Referral Bonus (Additive)

• L1 Direct: +10% of your referrals' balances
• L2 Indirect: +5% of second-level referrals' balances

Worked Example: 10M END Holder

Profile: Gold donor ($150), 2 verified bugs, 500K L1 referrals, 200K L2 referrals

Base Weight:      10,000,000
Gold Boost:       x 1.30 = 13,000,000
Bug Boost (8%):   x 1.08 = 14,040,000
Referral Bonus:   (500K x 0.10) + (200K x 0.05) = +60,000
-----------------------------------------------
Effective Weight: 14,100,000 (41% increase over base)

The multiplicative stacking means donor and bug boosts compound before referrals add on top.

1. On-Chain Merkle Snapshot

When EndGame triggers, your token balance is captured in a Merkle tree and committed on-chain. This creates an immutable, cryptographically verifiable record. The Merkle root is public and auditable—anyone can independently verify that claimed balances match the blockchain state at trigger time.

2. Bitmap Claim Tracking

The smart contract maintains a bitmap where each bit represents a holder. Before processing any claim, the contract checks your bit. If already set, the transaction fails with AlreadyClaimed. This on-chain enforcement makes double-claims mathematically impossible, not just policy.

3. Signer Verification

Claims require your wallet to sign the transaction. The contract validates holder.is_signer() before processing. No admin key can claim on your behalf. Your tokens, your signature, your control.

4. 62 Excluded Wallets

Vault, team, authority, and test wallets are cryptographically excluded from prize eligibility and S1 allocation. These exclusions are embedded in the snapshot logic itself, not post-hoc filtering.

Pinocchio, Not Anchor

S1's redemption system is built on Pinocchio—the same battle-tested framework powering EndGame's hourly prize draws since mainnet launch in November 2025. The smart contract has processed hundreds of rounds without a single security incident. The code is frozen and locked—no last-minute changes that introduce bugs.

On-Chain Timestamps

Early Bird qualification uses Solana's on-chain Clock sysvar, not server time. No team member can manipulate deadlines. The blockchain itself is the authority. If you sent 100% before the 24-hour mark, the chain proves it—immutably.

Real-Time Detection

Transfer detection uses QuickNode webhooks—enterprise-grade infrastructure that monitors the blockchain and notifies the backend within seconds.

40+ Test Cases

The QA suite covers boundary conditions (23:59:59 vs 24:00:01), fee variance, multiple transfers, timezone handling, and network delays. Every scenario that could go wrong has been anticipated and tested.
