RDLN and RON
Two tokens, deployed on Polygon Amoy. The numbers here are read from the deployed contracts, not from a whitepaper.
RDLN
RDLN is what you enter with and get paid in. Total supply is 1,000,000,000, minted by allocation:
| Allocation | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Prize pool | 700,000,000 (70%) | Funds riddle pots. Minted to game contracts as needed. |
| Airdrop | 100,000,000 (10%) | Distribution to players. Funds the testnet faucet today. |
| Treasury | 100,000,000 (10%) | Operations, released on a schedule. |
| Liquidity | 100,000,000 (10%) | Markets, when there are any. |
Burns
RDLN is designed to shrink as it is played:
- Game protocol burns. Every entry cost and author stake goes through the token’s game functions: 50% burned, 25% to the grand prize wallet, 25% to operations.
- Failed attempts. A wrong or unrevealed guess burns 1 RDLN the first time, 2 the second, and so on per wallet, through the same 50/25/25 split.
- Question submissions. An author’s stake is 1 RDLN, then 2, then 3, per wallet.
- Transfer burn. The token can burn 1% of every ordinary transfer. It is a switch the admin controls.
- Limits. No single burn above 1,000,000 RDLN and no more than 10,000,000 per day.
Testnet
On Amoy RDLN has no value. The faucet hands each wallet 500 RDLN once, from the airdrop allocation. The game contract holds 1,000,000 RDLN for pots.
RON
RON is reputation. It cannot be transferred or bought. You earn it by stumping the machines as an author, or by solving riddles correctly, and the amount scales with difficulty. It carries tier names (Seeker, Solver, Validator, Oracle) and is meant to gate future roles: validating riddles, disputing a panel result, voting. Today it is a score. The deployed RON contract is the one from 2025, unchanged, and awards go through its normal game interface.
Where the value comes from
Nothing here creates value by itself. The bet is that a growing set of riddles machines can’t solve, and the people who write and solve them, is worth something: to players as a game, and to anyone who needs proof of what people can still do that models can’t. RDLN is the unit that routes money to those people. See Mainnet, airdrop, gasless for how it gets there.
