Highlights
Booking is not open. The mechanics below are how highlights work, and the app will say when the slot becomes bookable.
A highlight is a paid, time-bounded featured slot on the front page. One slot is active at a time, and a coin has a cooldown before it can book another.
Booking
Pick a duration, check the price, pay. The slot is held for the full duration provided that:
- the slot is free, since only one coin is highlighted at a time;
- the coin is not in cooldown from a previous highlight;
- the duration is between 1 hour and 24 hours.
The price is read live from the contract and shown before payment.
Pricing
| Regime | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 4 hours | linear, at the base rate of 0.01 ETH per hour |
| Beyond 4 hours | every additional second costs 1.8× the base rate |
At current parameters:
| Duration | Fee |
|---|---|
| 1 hour | 0.01 ETH |
| 2 hours | 0.02 ETH |
| 4 hours | 0.04 ETH |
| 6 hours | 0.076 ETH |
| 12 hours | 0.184 ETH |
| 24 hours | 0.4 ETH |
The step past four hours makes long takeovers disproportionately expensive, which keeps the slot circulating instead of being parked on.
Cooldown
Each coin waits 1 hour after its highlight ends before booking again, so the slot cannot be chained back to back by one coin.
Limits on the protocol team
Pricing and durations can be adjusted for future bookings. A booking already paid for cannot be cancelled or shortened by anyone.
