Every hour, activated Lords receive a share of the reward pot, converted into the assets you picked — up to three of the tokenized stocks, or USDG for a stable payout. It lands inside your Lord's own vault automatically; you never claim. What it's worth later depends on the assets you chose. $HEDGE itself is never paid out — it's only ever burned.

Slightly, yes. Rarity is rolled at mint with instant reveal and carries a permanent boost from 1.00× (Squire) to 1.25× (King). It multiplies with your burn tier, so a maxed common still out-earns a lazy grail. The exact odds and boosts ship with the verified contract.

The vault and everything in it goes with the token — that's the point: a Lord carrying $500 of banked stock has a hard $500 price floor for its next owner. Tier and takeover boosts are permanent and travel too. The Lord lands dormant after transfer, and the buyer pays a small wake burn to switch it back on. Check any Lord's vault on the explorer before buying.

No. The vault contract ships with no owner key, no pause switch, no upgrade path, and no back door. Moving a token's holdings requires holding that token, and funds can only travel to the holder's own wallet — no code path exists for the team, the keeper, or anyone else. Withdrawing is free by design, with no parameter that could ever change that. The flip side of the lock: assets sent to the vault by accident are unrecoverable, and the docs spell out exactly which levers the team does still hold.

A takeover permanently boosts a higher-rarity Lord (capped at three absorptions, escalating cost, plus a $HEDGE burn). The sacrificed Lord's entire vault transfers to the survivor in the same transaction, the art gains a gold mark, and the collection shrinks forever. Straight talk: your boost slightly reduces everyone else's share — you gain, the court pays a little, supply falls.

Three ways, all automatic: curve fees from every launch, a 0.05% perpetual skim on every swap of every graduated pool (paid in the pool's own pair asset — including tokenized stock), and probate settlements when launches die. 80% of everything feeds the hourly engine; 20% funds operations. Holding a Lord doesn't gate the pad — launches stay fast and fair for everyone.

When a launched token flatlines — roughly 30 days below a $5,000 market cap on a long TWAP with a volume floor — its liquidity is unwound: 50% claimable by that token's holders (creator excluded), 30% to the Lords' pot, 20% buys and burns $HEDGE. Tiny estates skip claims and go straight to pot + burn. For launch communities it means death isn't a total loss; for the court it means even the graveyard pays rent.

Yes, easily. $HEDGE, Lords, launched tokens, and tokenized stocks are all volatile and can go to zero. Earnings depend entirely on protocol activity — quiet weeks mean small drops. Smart contracts can have bugs. Nothing here is guaranteed and nothing on this site is financial advice. Only ever use funds you can afford to lose.

Treat the docs page as the single source of truth for contract addresses — an address found anywhere else isn't ours. The team never opens a DM and never asks for signatures on outside sites. Guard your seed phrase like the crown jewels, and verify before every interaction.
