how to.

from no wallet to ranked on the leaderboard. no prior crypto experience required.

part 1 — get a wallet

1

install a wallet

On desktop, install MetaMask. On mobile, install Rainbow. Either works. Save the 12-word recovery phrase somewhere offline — paper, metal, a password manager you trust. Never type it into a website.

importantno member of this project will ever DM you asking for that phrase. anyone who does is a thief.
2

fund it with ETH

You need ETH on the Ethereum mainnet. Buy on Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, or wherever, and withdraw to your wallet's address. 0.02 ETH is enough to buy a position with room for gas.

3

connect to this site

Click connect walletat the top right. Make sure you're on Ethereum mainnet — the site will prompt you to switch networks if you're not.

part 2 — climb

4

buy $Chicken

Use Uniswap. The pool is ETH ⇄ $Chicken at the 1% LP tier. Your buy pays an additional 3% hook fee on the way in — that's what funds the pot. The tokens land in your wallet, and the clock starts the moment they arrive.

5

hold

Your score is balance × seconds since you started holding. Every block that passes, your score grows. Every transfer-in preserves the clock. Every sell, even one token, resets it to zero.

6

watch the round close

Every 7,200 blocks (~24h on mainnet), the next swap closes the round. The hook reads the top 20, splits the pot, and a fresh round opens. If you ranked, your prize sits in the hook waiting for you to claim it.

7

claim your prize

Visit your perch on this site, connect your wallet, and any unclaimed round prizes will show up. Click claim and the ETH lands in your wallet.

part 3 — strategy

8

size matters more early

Score is multiplicative — a big balance for a short time is the same as a small balance for a long time. If you're going to accumulate a position, do it early. Late buys add balance to a short clock.

9

don't panic-sell

A 1-token sell wipes a 60-day tenure. The seller's contract doesn't care that it was a rounding error. If you need to reduce your position, accept that the score is gone.

10

watch the round timer

The window between rounds is the only place where ranking matters. A wallet that ranks #21 with five minutes left will ride out the round and may climb in the next one. A wallet that ranks #20 and panic-sells the block before close gives the prize to #21.
