How drops work

Gnomora drops real Robinhood Chain stock tokens when the market moves, to whoever is there. A public market event opens a 10-minute window; every wallet that shows up and holds “catch” gets one ticket; at close the pot is split evenly. No race, no guessing.

What opens a drop

Every trigger is a public event you can check yourself: the NYSE calendar or a Chainlink price round on Robinhood Chain. Each drop card shows the round id that opened it.

Pots follow the vault

The vault starts with a small seed and is refilled by the creator from creator fees. Every refill is listed on Proof. Drop sizes follow the vault.

Catching

  1. When a drop opens, mint light falls into the dial’s channel and the catch control appears. The window stays open for 10 minutes.
  2. Press and hold the dial (or the button) for 1.5 seconds.
  3. Connect a browser wallet and sign one message. Signing is free: no gas, no approval, no transaction.
  4. You hold one ticket for that drop. One ticket per wallet per drop, and at most 6 catches per wallet per UTC day.

Even split, or a draw

At close, the pot is divided evenly between all valid tickets. If an even slice would be smaller than $0.05, Gnomora instead draws pot ÷ $0.05 winners. The seed is the hash of the first Robinhood Chain block after the window closes; it is stored with the drop so anyone can recompute the draw. If nobody shows up, nothing is paid for that drop.

Holder drops

Big move, Monday wake-up and earnings drops are for Gnomora holders: a wallet must hold at least 500,000 tokens now and 24 hours earlier. Gnomora reads this from chain (balanceOf now, minus tokens transferred in during the last 24 hours). Nothing is locked or taken.

A drop card marked preview takes tickets and pays nothing.

The review hour

Payouts wait 60 minutes after a window closes. In that hour tickets are checked for patterns such as a wallet younger than an hour with no history, more than three wallets from one network, or identical timing. Flagged tickets are dropped and the reason is logged; the pot is split between the rest.

Payouts and caps

For each paid ticket the server signs an EIP-712 voucher {to, token, amount, dropId, nonce, deadline} (domain “Gnomora”, version 1, chain 4663). A relayer sends the vouchers to the vault with claimMany, so you pay no gas. The vault checks the signature, nonce, deadline (72 hours) and its caps, then transfers the stock token and emits Claimed. Every Claimed event is on Proof.
