A tycoon on TON
Sell lemonade.
Earn SEED.
Keep the town happy.
Buy a stand, tune your recipe to the weather, open for a 60-minute round. A well-run stand returns about +90% on its price over its eleven-month life, and up to double that if you play it really well. Every stand's earnings have a cap you know in advance, and that cap is why the Bank can always pay what it owes you. It's why this game can last for years.

Change the stand to see the same day with more capacity. Lost cups are the case for equipment.
A day at the stand
The loop is the same every day, and it takes about two minutes of decisions. The order matters, which is why it is numbered.
- step 1Check the weather
Each city rolls a weather. It changes how many citizens come and what they want in the jar.
- step 2Buy supplies in SEED
Lemons, ice, sugar, cups. About 40% of what you sell goes back into supplies, and that is what keeps the Bank solvent.
- step 3Set the formula
Lemon 20–40, ice 5–15, sugar 10–40 per jar. Match the city and the day; happy citizens tip, unhappy ones walk.
- step 4Open for 60 minutes
Citizens per minute come from a hash you can verify. Serve up to capacity. Earn SEED. Gain experience.
Three rules the contracts enforce
We stopped our first version of this game before launch because it was a Ponzi with extra steps. This version is built so the promise holds in code, whether or not the next player shows up.
An average stand ends its eleven-month life about +90% up, and a well-run one close to +188%. It gets there through capped cycles — up to 200% of its price in gross sales, then a half-price major repair, four in all, each paying a little more. Because every cap is known in advance, the Bank can never owe more than it took in.
LEMON trades inside a band in GRAM. Above the ceiling the game sells; below the floor the operating reserve buys. A quarter of every GRAM the game earns goes to that reserve, and it is staked while it waits. The floor is never lowered.
More than half of every GRAM is staked in a contract with no withdrawal function. Its yield buys LEMON on the market and burns it, every day, even if the game shuts down. The team holds no tokens: it is paid 10% of the GRAM the game collects, and a share of the staking yield.
Four cities, four tastes
Your stand is assigned a city. Each pays a base price per cup that drifts down when the city is crowded and up when it is quiet, so spreading out is the winning move and bot farms hurt themselves.
