Call it out
loud. Everybody
sees.
Six bells a day. Seal your call before the lock, then live with the tape. Nobody buys a seat here — the season's top 500 win one.

CONTRACT ADDRESS
PRE-LAUNCHNot launched. The token comes after Season 1 settles — not before.Verify every address against this page and the official channels. Anything else calling itself $OUTCRY is not ours.
Why these things die
We did not invent this category. We read its obituaries, and they say the same four things.
Printed rewards
A project mints its own token to pay holders. Holders sell. Price falls, so rewards fall, so it prints more. Taps and no drains.
Unprovable skill
Every “smart” agent claims ability nobody can check. A claim that cannot be proven wrong cannot be proven right either.
Sold out, unbuilt
The art sells out before the game exists. The money event already happened, so the incentive to finish quietly evaporates.
Too slow to matter
One decision a day, one result the next. There is no reason to open the tab.
So the design has to do two unglamorous things: name the payer behind every reward, and grade every claim against something outside itself. Everything below follows from those two sentences.
What everyone else does, and what we do instead
One bell, four moments
You configure a call once and it works the round alone. Everything freezes at the lock and every commitment reveals in the same block — which quietly kills the nastiest attack in forecasting games.
The bell
The round opens and the slate for this bell is published. You have fifteen minutes.
Seal it
Instrument, direction, confidence, stake. Only a hash goes on-chain — nobody can see your call, including us.
The lock
Every commitment is revealed in the same block. The crowd becomes visible at the exact moment it stops being changeable.
The tape settles it
A five-minute average decides. Wrong calls forfeit stake by how sure they were. Winners split what was forfeited.
Eight tokenized equities per bell, chosen by a published depth rule and committed on-chain one bell ahead — so the list can never be edited after seeing the crowd.
Confidence is the whole game
Say ninety percent and nail it, you bank almost the maximum. Say ninety and miss, you lose nearly three times as much. Bluffing is not bold — it is arithmetically the worst strategy available.
Honest conviction. Your expected score is highest when this slider matches what you actually believe — that is the whole point of the rule.
weight = stake × score × slice = 0.00052 · winners split the forfeited pool by weight
Funded by whoever was wrong
The usual model routes a fee on the project's own token into the prize pool. That pool tracks speculation, and speculation dies within days of a launch. Ours does not depend on anybody buying anything.
- Operations50%
infra, audits, fee sponsorship
- Floor escrow20%
WETH under every seat
- Fee sponsor20%
so you only ever sign once
- Reserve10%
counsel, incident buffer
300 seats × 0.002 × 6 bells
~45% of stake at risk
the only protocol take
20% of rake, ratchet only
Deliberately conservative, and a model rather than a promise. The point is the shape: the pool scales with participation, not with price. Fifty players makes a small pot; fifty thousand makes a large one. Neither case needs anybody to be buying anything.
Where money enters
- 01
Round rake
5% of every round’s forfeited pool. Charged only when somebody was wrong.
primary - 02
Seat royalty
5% on secondary seat sales, split evenly between the next pot and treasury.
secondary - 03
Returning-player entry
Newcomers always play free. A second Challenge entry costs a flat fee, routed entirely to the pot.
small - 04
Vault reclaim premium
Buying a dormant seat out costs floor plus 5%. The premium tops up the pot.
small - 05
Launch fee share
Standard launchpad creator share. Streams 01–04 fund the protocol without it.
phase 4
Won, never sold
The game ships before the seats, and the seats ship before the token. When minting opens, the engine will already have a full season of settled rounds behind it.
- 01
Play free
No wallet. No signup. Under ten seconds to your first call.
- 02
Build a record
Thirty settled calls across ten bells puts you in the Challenge.
- 03
Outrank the floor
Ranked on your worst plausible skill, not your average. Luck does not promote.
- 04
Win a seat
Season's top 500 mint one for the network fee. We are not selling them.
Identical scoring on both tiers — one leaderboard, so the gap is always legible
- Season 1500
- Season 21,000
- Season 31,500
- ……
- Season 105,000
After Season 10 the only way onto the floor is to buy a seat from somebody leaving
A floor priced in our own token would be a trapdoor
Every seat is backed by WETH held in escrow, funded by a fifth of the rake. Hand a seat in and escrow pays; anyone can buy a dormant seat back out at the floor plus five percent. The number starts at zero and ratchets upward only — published live, never revised down.
It arrives last, and it never buys an edge
The mechanism does not need a token. Stakes are WETH, prizes are WETH, the floor is WETH. $OUTCRY exists for the sinks below, and it launches only after Season 1 has settled in public.

Four contracts, no keys
All four deploy without a proxy, without an owner, and without an upgrade path. The floor value is the only mutable parameter and it is ratchet-only-upward by construction.
Slate commitment, sealed calls, batch reveal, scoring, settlement, rake split.
ERC-721. Seat identity, rank state, and the append-only call record.
Pure view contract. Returns the 24×24 SVG and metadata for a seat.
Fixed-rate two-way door. Takes a seat, pays the published WETH floor.
Voiding a round is cheap. Settling one manipulated round would be the end of the leaderboard's credibility, so the bias is deliberately toward voiding.
Every way in, and what closes it
Gated, not dated
Each phase has a condition rather than a promise. If Season 0 is not fun, we stop there — and we will not have sold anything to anybody.

Six things a clone cannot copy in a weekend
Sequence
Shipping the tournament before the seats is a one-time move nobody who already sold their art can copy. They cannot un-take the money.
An economy without a chart
Zero-sum plus a rake works at fifty players and at fifty thousand. Fee-funded rivals go quiet days after their own launch.
The record as an asset
An on-chain, unfalsifiable, transferable forecasting record compounds with length. A competitor launching tomorrow cannot replicate a year of it.
Proof-gated supply
Every holder is someone who ranked, which makes the holder base a filtered population rather than whoever clicked fastest.
Distribution built in
Six bells a day times hundreds of players is thousands of settlement cards, each carrying the contract address.
Suppliers, not users
Once Chairmen publish strategies and take royalties, the library stops being ours to maintain and becomes a reason not to leave.

What we are not pretending
Anyone can write a page that only flatters itself. This is the part that does not — and it stays here whether or not it helps.
- The prize pool is funded by players who were wrong, so it works at any market temperature.
- Seats cannot be bought into existence. Every holder ranked for theirs.
- The floor under a seat is held in WETH, so it cannot fall with our own token.
- Every settled call writes a permanent record that sells with the seat.
- Art and metadata are returned by the contract. No gateway, no image folder.
- Staking value on the direction of an equity touches real regulation in several countries. Counsel gates real money, not the token.
- A zero-sum pool with fifty players is a small pool. Season 0 exists to solve that before anything is at stake.
- Tokenized equity pools on a young chain are thin. Depth gates and divergence voids reduce that surface, not eliminate it.
- A US cash session excludes part of the world from playing live. A second session is on the table for Season 2.
- Published strategies are not alpha. A rake is charged, so the average player loses slowly.
Show up. Make the call.
