The mechanic
1 · Pick a slot
1,000 unique slots exist for every BurnBomb. Slot values run from 0.001Ξ to 1.000Ξ in steps of 0.001Ξ. The amount you send IS your guess. Each slot can only be claimed once · first come, first served.
2 · Seed the pool (24h)
Every BurnBomb starts in a seed phase. Entries accumulate. When the cumulative pot crosses 3Ξ, the game transitions to active phase.
If 24h passes without crossing the 3Ξ threshold, every entry is refunded (gas is lost, but ETH comes back).
Seeders capture a permanent slice of the pot. If you contribute during seed phase, you own a fixed % of the seed dividend pool · which pays out against the FINAL pot, not the pot at threshold.
3 · Active phase (up to 60h)
Once the threshold is hit, a 12-hour countdown timer starts. Every new entry resets the timer to 12 hours. The active phase has a hard 48h ceiling · after that, the game enters Final Countdown.
4 · Final countdown (12h, no resets)
A 12-hour countdown that cannot be reset. New entries are still accepted, but the clock keeps ticking. Last chance to lock your slot.
5 · Random target reveals · winner takes the pot
When the timer hits zero (or all 1,000 slots fill, whichever first), a random target between 0 and 999 reveals via Ethereum future blockhash. No oracle, no manipulation surface, just future-block commitment.
The top 3 closest slots split the pot. The full breakdown:
- 73% · Winner (1st closest)
- 7% · Second closest
- 4% · Third closest
- 10% · Seed dividend pool (pro-rata to seed contributions)
- 5% · $BURN buyback reservoir
- 1% · Whoever calls settle() (capped at 0.01Ξ; remainder rolls into winner)
6 · Withdraw
Winners, seed dividend recipients, and (in refund cases) original claimers all use pull-payment withdrawal. You call a function, you get your ETH. No one can block you. No one can extract on your behalf.
