Each price level (layer) contains 8 pre-selected, randomly
protected 'crown' cells, verified through a provable hash. These
crown cells remain hidden and are only revealed when a user
purchases them at the specific price point. For example, if a
user buys a cell for $12 and it turns out to be a crown cell,
that cell becomes theirs permanently, and no one else can
purchase or overwrite it.
However, users who previously purchased that same cell for lower
amounts—such as $2, $3, $5, or $8—will never know if it was a
crown cell. The crown status is exclusively revealed at the $12
level. If a crown cell is claimed at this price, the Cell
History of that cell are rewarded with a balance equal to 1/8th
of the amount they originally paid, as the cell is now locked to
the crown buyer.
Once a user is rewarded with a crown cell, any ongoing funding
campaigns they initiated are automatically canceled. Both the
user's contributions and the contributions from their supporters
are credited back to their balances (not refunded). Moreover,
the user who purchased the crown cell is restricted from making
any further purchases—not only in the same layer but across all
layers. This ensures fairness by preventing users from securing
multiple cells once they’ve already won a crown cell.
This system promotes fairness, transparency, and excitement for
all participants, while also ensuring that crown cells are
evenly distributed.
