Trading & rewards
Every pool trade on every Diggers coin scores digging points, automatically, inside the token itself. Points are the pulse of the whole reward layer: they decide who wins the daily pot and who sits on top of the global leaderboard.
Points are proportional to trade size, measured against the coin's full 1 billion supply. Buying scores at four times the rate of selling: trading a full supply's worth in buys would earn 2 points, while the same amount in sells earns 0.5. In practice: buy 1% of supply and collect 0.02 pts, sell the same and collect 0.005. Simple, linear, impossible to misread.
Points credit exclusively on real pool legs: buys and sells against the coin's Uniswap V3 pool. Wallet-to-wallet transfers score nothing. Self-sends score nothing. Shuffling a bag between ten of your own addresses scores exactly zero, because no pool was touched and no fee was paid. The only way to farm points is to genuinely trade, paying the pool fee that funds the very pot you are competing for.
Your points live on two clocks at once. The daily count resets every 24 hours per coin and decides that coin's daily contest: score into the top 10 by the end of the shift and you split the pot. The lifetime count never resets: it compounds across every coin you ever dig, on every chain Diggers runs on, and ranks you on the global Top Diggers board. Summed across all chains, your lifetime points are your $GEM airdrop allocation, your permanent record as a digger.
The score of each coin's rolling 24 hour contest — and, summed for life across every coin and chain, your allocation in the $GEM airdrop. Every pool trade earns points proportional to its size: buys score four times more than sells of the same amount.
The contest rewards accumulation, not churn. Weighting buys at four times sells means the leaderboard favors diggers who bring demand in over wallets cycling the same bag back and forth.
No. Only real pool trades score, and a buy that is closed out by an opposite sell in the same block earns nothing on the matched amount. Moving tokens between your own wallets earns nothing either, which keeps the leaderboard sybil- and flash-loan-resistant.
The daily contest score resets every 24 hour epoch — today's leaderboard starts from zero for everyone. Your lifetime points, the ones that decide the $GEM airdrop, never reset.
