THE STRKBTC BUTTON

THREE PHASES

1. Warm-up: presses are recorded and counted. The countdown is not armed, so a warm-up lead wins only if nobody ever presses once the round is live.
2. Live: the win timer is armed. Every valid press resets it to full and makes that presser the leader.
3. Ended: winner locked in. No more presses, ever.

FOUR CHECKS, IN ORDER

• Is the campaign still running?
• Is the round still open?
• Is your cooldown over?
• On a gated round: does your wallet hold a current voucher from the X check?

Fail any one and the press is rejected; nothing is recorded. Being the leader is never safe: the moment someone else presses, the timer starts over from full.

Almost always the cooldown. Each wallet has to wait a fixed time between presses, and the note under the button counts it down for you. A press sent inside your own cooldown is rejected on-chain and nothing is recorded, so the page answers it locally instead of letting you pay a fee to be told.

The other two reasons are a campaign that has closed and a round that has already ended. Both are shown in the phase label above the clock.

FOUR REQUIREMENTS, ALL OF THEM

• You are not resident in (or subject to the laws of) a jurisdiction under applicable sanctions restrictions.
• You have an active X account that passes an automated check. It weighs account standing, age, activity and followers; accounts verified by X may be judged on different criteria.
• You hold or control a compatible Starknet wallet.
• You comply with the terms in full.

Participation is limited to one claim per participant, per X account and per connected wallet. The thresholds behind the X check are not published and can be adjusted at any time without notice. Presses are public and on-chain, and the leaderboards are folded out of those same events, but eligibility is set by the terms, §1, not by the chain.

Prizes are paid in strkBTC, on the on-chain record of valid presses. Three ways to win:

• The last valid press takes the grand prize: the leader when the timer lapses, or when the campaign end date arrives first, whichever comes sooner.
• The top five by presses made after warm-up each take a prize.
• The top five by longest reign each take a prize.

Both boards draw a rule under fifth place, so you can see where you stand against it.

A limited number of prizes may be awarded and no participant is guaranteed one: a prize also depends on meeting the eligibility criteria and passing the Foundation's verification and screening. Amounts are not published here. See the terms, §2.
