Your NFT is a stock. Forever.

Every Stockhopper carries one ticker, written into the token at mint and never changed. Once a week the market decides which tickers won, and the bank is paid out to holders. Nobody is left out: every single NFT in the collection gets a share of every epoch.

How it works

One week, three steps, nothing to maintain.

Mint and get a ticker

The ticker is drawn inside the mint transaction and written into the token. It is not revealed later, it cannot be rerolled, and it stays with the token through every sale. You are NVDA, or you are Ford.

The epoch runs

From Wednesday to Friday, three trading days. The contract takes one price snapshot at the start and one at the finish, straight from the on-chain pool of each tokenized stock.

The bank is paid out

The three tickers with the best percentage move take the prize share. The rest of the bank is split evenly across every NFT in the collection. You claim when you like, in one transaction.

The epoch

Wednesday to Friday

The epoch opens on Wednesday and closes at Friday's close. Whoever held the NFT at the opening snapshot is the one who gets paid for that epoch, and that stays true even if the token is sold mid-week. One rule, no disqualifications, and no point in buying the leader a minute before the finish.

The window

Friday to Wednesday

Between epochs the collection is open. You can sell the ticker you have and buy the one you would rather play next week. The window is blind on purpose: the epoch has not started, so nobody knows anything you do not. Look at the charts and pick.

Where the week is right now

Swap, run, settle. Then again.

The collection runs on one repeating week. This clock reads your own device time and tells you which part of it you are in, so you never have to work it out from a calendar.

Swap window

Friday close to Wednesday open

The collection is open and nothing is running. Sell the ticker you have, buy the one you would rather play. The window is blind on purpose: the epoch has not started, so nobody knows more than you do.

Epoch running

Wednesday open to Friday close

Three trading days. Whoever held the NFT at the opening snapshot is the one who gets paid for this epoch, even if they sell before Friday. Buying the leader late in the week earns nothing.

Settling

Shortly after Friday close

The closing snapshot is taken, the three best moves are ranked and the bank is credited. From that moment it is claimable, in one transaction, whenever you like.

The opening stretch

The first four weeks pay more.

A quarter of the startup pool is set aside as a launch bonus and paid out over the first four epochs, on top of the normal weekly slice. It goes entirely into the part of the bank that is split evenly across every NFT, so it reaches everybody, winner or not.

Epoch 1
2.61x
Epoch 2
2.08x
Epoch 3
1.54x
Epoch 4
1.36x
Epoch 5 onward
1.00x

Each bar is what an ordinary, non winning NFT is paid that week, measured against a level week. Shares of the bank, not amounts.

The prize does not move

The bonus is deliberately kept out of the prize. First prize has to stay worth less than the cost of pushing a pool around, and that ceiling is what allows large, recognisable tickers in the set at all. The contract computes the prize from the bank minus the bonus, so the opening weeks are heavier for holders without the ceiling moving a single point.

Why front loaded

Because the opening weeks are the ones that decide whether there is a second month. Stretching the same money thinner, so that a level week still lands long after the room has emptied, helps nobody. The schedule is written into the contract at deployment and cannot be changed afterwards. The whole schedule is in the docs.

The split

35% goes to the podium. 65% goes to everybody.

Everything below is a share of that epoch's bank, whatever its size turns out to be. Prize money is divided evenly between the NFTs of a winning ticker, so a first place is worth exactly the same to every holder behind it.

What it means per NFT

Because every ticker has the same number of NFTs behind it, the arithmetic comes out the same whatever the collection ends up being worth. An NFT of the winning ticker finishes the epoch with about 6.4 times what a non-winning NFT gets. Second place is about 4.2 times, third about 3.2 times. Nobody finishes at zero.

Why the prize is not bigger

A large first prize is exactly what would make it worth someone's money to push a thin pool around for three days. The prize is deliberately kept far below the cost of moving any pool in the set, and that is what lets the set include the large, recognisable names instead of only obscure ones. The full reasoning is in the docs.

The set

Twenty tickers, the same number of NFTs behind each.

The set was not picked from a stock screener. It was picked from what actually trades on Robinhood Chain, in a dollar pool deep enough that its price cannot be pushed around, and then narrowed to names whose volatility sits in the same range. A ticker that moves 1% a week would never beat one that moves 10%, so a mixed set would mean half the collection never had a chance.

Live from the same on-chain pools the epochs read, change over the last 24 hours.

Checked against history. Backtested against real historical quotes, every one of these twenty tickers took first place at least once. There are no dead names in the set, and the gap between the luckiest and the unluckiest ticker sits at the level of pure chance.
Guarantees

The parts that could be abused later are the parts nobody can touch.

The split is a contract, not a wallet

Both the mint and the royalties are divided by a splitter contract. The addresses and the shares are written in at deployment: no admin key, no setter, no owner. It takes ten seconds to confirm in the explorer.

The ticker cannot be rewritten

There is no function anywhere that reassigns a ticker, and none that reopens the draw. The ticker is decided in the mint transaction, in front of everyone, and that is the end of it.

A short mint breaks nothing

Whatever actually sells becomes the supply. It is sealed on chain, tickers are handed out across exactly that many tokens, and epochs run normally on a collection of any size.

Questions

The short answers.

Can my ticker change?

No. It is written into the token at mint and there is no function anywhere that rewrites it. If you want a different ticker, you buy a different NFT.

Do I have to do anything every week?

No. Holding is enough to earn. Claiming is a single transaction you can leave until it is worth the gas, and it pays out everything you have accumulated across every epoch at once.

What if I sell in the middle of an epoch?

You still get paid for that epoch, because you held it at the opening snapshot. The buyer starts earning from the next epoch. Nothing is lost and nobody is disqualified.

Could someone manipulate a price to win?

The snapshot is not a spot price, it is a time-weighted average over a four-hour window read straight from the pool. Moving a spot price is cheap; holding an average away from the truth for four hours against arbitrage is not. The prize is deliberately kept far below that cost for every pool in the set.

Is this a promise of returns?

No. Stockhoppers holds no shares, pays no dividends and is not an investment product. It is a weekly game whose scoreboard happens to be the stock market. The bank comes from the collection's own treasury.

How big is the bank?

It is a fixed slice of the treasury each week for the opening stretch of the project, so the early epochs do not shrink from one week to the next. The treasury is filled by the collection itself, so the size follows from how the collection does, and it is published before each epoch rather than promised in advance.
