Stardust (DUST) & the Wheel

DUST is the app-wide activity score: everything you do sprinkles it. It is a non-transferable ERC20 (transfers locked) with no monetary rights — it powers in-app status, the prize wheel, and treasury governance vote weight. Keeping it non-transferable keeps the whole loop free of real-money gambling mechanics.

Earning

Source	Amount	Where
Reactor deposits	500 DUST per 1 ETH (`stardustPerEth`), boostable	Auto on every `injectMass`
Daily check-in	25 DUST base, +20% per consecutive day, capped at 3× (75)	Self-serve, on-chain (`checkIn()`)
Off-chain activity	shares, claims, referrals, lootbox opens	Relayer signs an award; user cashes via `claimAward`

The streak ladder

day 1: 25 DUST
day 2: 30 DUST   (×1.2)
day 3: 36 DUST   (×1.44)
day 4: 43.2 DUST (×1.728)
day 5: 51.8 DUST (×2.074)
…     capped at 75 DUST (×3) from day 11 on

Missing a day (48h gap) resets the streak — unless rescued: within 24h after a lapse, saveStreak() pays an ETH fee (base 0.001 ETH × saved streak multiplier) to keep the ladder where it left off. 100% of rescue fees forward to the DarkMatterTreasury — this is one of the treasury’s core streams.

Spending — the Wheel

Parameter	Value
Spin cost	100 DUST, burned (deflationary sink)
Founder Pass price	50 DUST
Free spin	First spin every 24h is free
Jackpot refill	55% of every spin’s cost refills the jackpot pool (`JACKPOT_REFILL_BPS = 5500`)
Jackpot seed	1500 DUST
The house keeps	Nothing — the wheel is not a profit center

100 DUST spin ──▶ burned (gone forever)
                    └── 55 DUST equivalent refills the jackpot pool
Prizes: DUST payouts · 24h 2×/3× stardust boosts · the jackpot

Boost stacking

Boosts multiply all DUST earning while active. The stacking rule is friendly: an equal boost extends the 24h window; a weaker boost never downgrades a stronger active one.

Wheel randomness

Commit→reveal over the canonical ArbSys L2 block hash (see Event Horizon for why the EVM block number can’t be used on this chain): the spin commits a future L2 block, the reveal derives the seed from blockhash(commitL2Block) — a hash that did not exist when the player signed. Stale commits (past the 256-block horizon) re-commit instead of bricking.

Supernova — global boosts

When the treasury’s cumulative spend crosses a milestone, it fires activateGlobalBoost(20000 bps, 1 day) — everyone’s DUST earning is multiplied server-wide for 24h. See Treasury.

Governance weight

DUST balanceOf is the vote power in treasury proposals (1% quorum of snapshotted supply). More activity → more DUST → more say in where the treasury’s DAO era spends.

Ledger honesty

Every DUST source flows through one credited-mint path:

function _creditDust(address user, uint256 amount, string memory source) internal {
    _mint(user, amount);
    lifetimeEarned[user] += amount;
    emit DustEarned(user, amount, source);
}

lifetimeEarned / lifetimeSpent are public per-address ledgers; every source string (“deposit”, “checkin”, “award”, …) is emitted with the mint. Next: Earn Zap Router.
