​
The week, hour by hour

Every season is exactly 168 hours. Three windows: launch, trading-only, finals. Two events: hard cut, settlement.Times below are UTC and Monday-aligned.
1

Launch window — Mon 00:00 → Wed 00:00 (48h)

Twelve launch slots open. First-come-first-served. Dynamic launch cost rises with each slot.Deferred activation: the season requires at least 4 reservations to activate. While the field is filling, your launch tx escrows funds and reserves a slot — the token doesn’t deploy yet. When the 4th reservation lands, slots 1–4 deploy together and trading begins for all four simultaneously. After activation, slots 5–12 deploy on entry.Going early gets you more pre-cut trading time, which is the reward for taking the early-slot risk — but that time is now measured from activation, not from your individual entry tx.If fewer than 4 reservations arrive by Wed 00:00, the season aborts: every launch cost + stake is refunded automatically, and no tokens are ever deployed.On Week 1, the protocol launches $FILTER as a protocol-anchored reservation that counts toward the 4-token activation threshold. No special treatment from there on — same rules, same scoring, same risk.
2

Trading window — Wed 00:00 → Fri 00:00 (48h)

Launch window closes. Full field of 12. No eliminations. HP rankings are live and updating. Last-slot launchers get a full 48 hours of equal-footing trading before the cut.
3

Hard cut — Fri 00:00 (hour 96)

HP snapshot. Bottom six tokens are filtered, their LP is unwound, reserves are accumulated into the prize pool.
4

Finals — Fri 00:00 → Mon 00:00 (72h)

The six survivors compete through the weekend. The leaderboard becomes central. The ticker narrates rank shifts and HP swings. Users trade around the cut line.
5

Settlement — Mon 00:00 (hour 168)

Winner is selected. Rollover, hold bonus, POL, treasury, and mechanics allocations are finalized. Filtered holders receive rollover entitlements. The 14-day hold-bonus clock starts. The next season’s launch window opens immediately.
Colloquial summary: Monday launch, Thursday cut, Sunday winner. (The cut fires at end-of-Thursday / Friday 00:00; the winner is crowned at end-of-Sunday / Monday 00:00.)

​
Why this cadence

The cut at hour 96 gives every token an equal-footing 48-hour trading window before elimination — including the slot-12 launcher who closed the launch window. The 72-hour finals run through the weekend so the climax aligns with peak attention.Two events per season — hard cut and settlement — is the minimum for the loop and the maximum for operational simplicity early on.
