ponsi bird — rules

The game

Classic flappy rules: tap, click, or press space to flap the glass P through the pipes. Pass a pipe, score a point. Hit a pipe or the ground, run over. Everyone can play for free, wallet or not.

Rounds & prizes

• Competition runs in 15-minute rounds (on the quarter hour, UTC).
• The game token is launched on pons (pons.family). A share of every trade streams into the prize wallet automatically.
• At the end of each round, the fees collected during those 15 minutes are sent to #1 on the leaderboard. The "prize pool" shown is exactly what the winner receives — 75% of the collected fees; the rest keeps the game running.
• If nobody is eligible in a round, the pool rolls over into the next round.

Winning

• The winner is the highest verified score of the round, submitted by a wallet that holds at least 100,000 tokens at payout time.
• Holdings are checked on-chain when the round settles. The leaderboard shows a live eligibility badge, but only the balance at settlement counts.
• Ties go to whoever posted the score first.
• Connect your wallet before a run for it to count — runs without a wallet are unranked.

Anti-cheat

• Every ranked run uses a server-issued seed, and your full input recording is sent when the run ends.
• The server re-simulates the entire run, step by step, with the same physics. If the replay doesn't reproduce the claimed score — or is physically impossible, faster than real time, or longer than 30 minutes — it's rejected.
• Automation, exploits, or interference with the service can lead to scores being voided and wallets excluded.

Payouts

• Payouts are sent automatically within a few minutes of the round ending — in ETH and/or the game token — the winner’s 75% share of what the prize wallet collected.
• Every payout links to its transaction on the Robinhood Chain explorer from the "past winners" list. Everything is publicly verifiable.
