THE OPEN LEDGER

TOTAL SETTLED REVENUE

$0

This is money captured for properties, minus every refund and reversal recorded in the ledger. It is not a projection, gross checkout intent, or invented launch traction.

01

OWNERSHIP

All-time settled contributions are cumulative per property. The highest total owns meter zero; each active property owns exactly 25 meters. Positions can change.

02

TODAY'S SPONSORS

New contributions settled during the UTC day form a separate spotlight. It never changes which property owns the All-Time game map.

03

VERIFIED CLICKS

At most one outbound click per signed anonymous device and property every rolling 24 hours. Known bots, invalid sessions, duplicates, and bursts redirect but do not count.

04

BUILDING GROWTH

Permanent Level 2 unlocks at 500 qualified clicks and Level 3 at 2,000. Monthly activity adds a temporary visual signal without shrinking the permanent structure.

05

VISITS & ONLINE

A visit is a visible-site session separated by 30 minutes of inactivity. Online now means a visible heartbeat within the last two minutes. Raw IP addresses are not stored.

06

THE GAME

Everyone runs the same deterministic monthly course. Three official attempts count toward Today, and every official result also competes in the monthly Season.
