Core concepts

What is ClaimRush

ClaimRush is an onchain king-of-the-hill game with two core loops:

Everything else supports one of these loops.

The Mine, the Crown, and reigns

• The Mine has exactly one King at a time.
• A reign is the period a King holds the Mine.
• A reign ends when someone else takes over.

You can browse reign history on the Crown page and share reign permalinks.

CLAIM and veCLAIM

ve mechanics:

• More CLAIM locked = more ve
• More time remaining = more ve
• ve decays toward 0 as the lock approaches expiry

Takeovers and price

• Takeovers are paid in ETH.
• After each takeover, the price doubles, then decays over ~1 hour toward the floor (0.001 ETH).
• UI labels: Cost: High / Mid / Low (timing context, not a promise).

Payouts: where ETH goes

Every takeover ETH payment is split:

The Furnace

The Furnace is the only counterparty for lock creation and settlement.

It can:

• Swap ETH → CLAIM and lock it (one step)
• Lock CLAIM directly
• Add a bonus on top

See Furnace for entry defaults, bonus mechanics, quotes, and sellback.

Market

Market is the lock management board.

Key invariant: The Furnace is the only counterparty. There are no user-to-user lock transfers.

You can:

• Sell now (Market sell): sell a lock immediately to the Furnace with minClaimOut as minimum payout (slippage-derived)
• Market listing (Limit sell): post a listing with minClaimOut minimum payout and an expiry (expiresAtTime)
• Delist a listing
• Buy intent (Limit buy): bonus target escrow (patient Furnace entry) — escrow CLAIM Input amount (budgetClaim) + Expiry (expiresAt) and a minimum output trigger (minVeOut, or target bonus)

See Market for listing rules and settlement.

LP Vault (advanced)

Stake Aerodrome WETH/CLAIM LP → earn CLAIM rewards. 7-day unbonding period.

See Liquidity and LP Vault.

Protocol guarantees

• 0% platform fee
• One active King at a time
• Fixed takeover split (75% King, 25% Barons)
• The Furnace is the only counterparty for lock trading

Key limits

AutoMax: When enabled, lock is always treated as 1-year remaining (no ve decay). Disable to start unlock countdown.
