Final Binary - Litepaper

Overview

Final Binary is an on-chain social coordination game inspired by game theory¹, where players support two competing sides (RED and BLUE) by depositing tokens. The side with more tokens wins, with a crucial safeguard: if one side receives over 70% of total deposits, the minority side automatically wins. This mechanism prevents dominance and maintains strategic balance.

Players must organize and recruit others to keep their side winning, creating a dynamic social element where coordination and community building become essential strategies for success.

Game Schedule

Each game round begins daily at 14:00 UTC and lasts for 22 hours, followed by a 2-hour break before the next round begins. The game operates on a continuous 24-hour cycle, ensuring consistent timing for players worldwide.

Story

In the near future, two powerful AI models emerge, each built to guide humanity, each backed by a different vision of the world. But no AI rules alone. Humanity still holds the reins, granting limited influence through democratic support, not full control.

Long before these AIs existed, a physical kill switch was built into the network to stop any artificial intelligence from gaining too much control. It remains active, ready to be triggered if balance is lost through overwhelming support for one side.

Now, humanity must choose and support a side. Coordinate with others. Shift the outcome. But beware, if too many choose the same path, the system intervenes. The kill switch activates. The minority wins.

This is not a game of skill.

This is a game of belief, alignment, and trust.

Game Mechanics

Basic Gameplay

• Two sides: RED and BLUE
• Players deposit tokens to support their chosen side
• At the end of each round, the side with more total deposits wins, unless it holds over 70%, in which case the minority side wins
• Each game round lasts 22 hours, followed by a 2-hour break
• A new round begins each day at a fixed time

Win Conditions

General Rule: The side with higher total deposit power wins.

Minority Rule: If a side receives over 70% of total support, the minority side automatically wins, regardless of the final totals.

Game Phases

Each game round lasts exactly 22 hours and progresses through three phases:

• Open Phase (18 hours): Players make visible deposits to either side
• Hidden Phase (2 hours): Players make hidden deposits using commitment-reveal scheme
• Reveal Phase (2 hours): Players reveal their hidden deposits (no new deposits possible)

Deposit Types & Visibility

Open Deposits

During the Open phase (first 18 hours), all deposits are publicly visible.

• Players can see exactly how much has been deposited to each side (RED vs BLUE)
• Individual deposit amounts and player addresses are visible on-chain
• Real-time updates show current totals for each side
• Players can make informed decisions based on visible market sentiment

Hidden Deposits

During the Hidden phase (2 hours), deposits use a commitment-reveal scheme² to obscure which side they support until the end of the game. This mechanism is designed to prevent last-minute deposits from influencing the outcome unfairly, preserving strategic uncertainty and reducing reactive play in the final moments.

• Players can only see the total amount of hidden deposits, not which side they support
• Individual deposit amounts and chosen sides remain confidential
• Players create a cryptographic commitment (hash) of their deposit details
• The commitment includes: player address, deposit amount, chosen side, and a secret
• Only the hash and deposit amount is stored on-chain during the Hidden phase

Reveal Process

The Reveal phase begins immediately after the Hidden phase ends:

• Players are required to reveal their hidden deposits before the round ends
• Only after revealing can other players see which side the hidden deposits supported
• Revealed deposits are then counted toward the final totals for each side
• If a player fails to reveal their hidden deposit, it is forfeited
• The reveal process prevents last-second manipulation of game outcomes

Deposit Limits

• Chapter 1: Minimum 0.001 ETH, Maximum 10 ETH
• Chapter 2: Minimum 80 GPULSE, Maximum 800000 GPULSE
• These limits are configurable by the protocol owner

Chapters

Chapter Structure

The protocol operates in two distinct chapters with different token economics:

Chapter 1

Players use ETH to play the game. This chapter focuses on distributing GPULSE tokens to early participants (rewards are given regardless of whether they win or lose) who help build the foundation of the battle. Players contribute ETH and earn GPULSE, the essential resource powering future rounds.

• Deposit Token: ETH (on Base network)
• Fee: 4% of total deposits collected as protocol fee
• GPULSE Rewards: 80,000 GPULSE per 1 ETH deposited
• Chapter Transition: Begins when total collected fees reach 50 ETH
• Reward Distribution: GPULSE is rewarded to all participants, win or lose
• Winner receives: Their original ETH deposit, all ETH from the losing side (proportional), and GPULSE rewards
• Loser receives: GPULSE rewards but loses deposited ETH

Chapter 2

By depositing GPULSE tokens, players now wield computing power to fight for dominance. With GPULSE circulating, the game shifts focus. Players strategically deploy GPULSE, representing computing power, to influence the battle's outcome.

• Deposit Token: GPULSE only
• Liquidity Reward: 0.2% of deposit amount per game (daily)
• Reward Calculation: Reward = deposit amount × 0.2% per game
• No Game Fee: 100% of rewards go to players
• Reward Distribution: Liquidity rewards are distributed to all participants, win or lose
• Winner receives: Their original GPULSE deposit, all GPULSE from the losing side (proportional), and liquidity rewards
• Loser receives: Liquidity rewards but loses deposited GPULSE

Earnings & Deposit Power System

Reward Distribution

The winning side receives all deposits from the losing side, distributed proportionally based on each player's deposit power. Deposit power is calculated by multiplying the deposit amount with the power multiplier.

Power Multiplier

The power multiplier is a value used to calculate the strength of each deposit and decreases over time to give early participants an advantage. The multiplier starts declining from the beginning of the game, but for the first hour, the game overrides this and provides the full multiplier (2×). After one hour, the override ends, the multiplier drops to its actual level, and then continues decreasing steadily until reaching zero at the end of the round.

Winning Side Rewards

If your side wins, you receive:

• Your original deposit amount
• A proportional share of the losing side's deposits (after fees)
• A proportional share of unrevealed hidden deposits (after fees)
• GPULSE rewards (in Chapter 1) or liquidity rewards (in Chapter 2)

Losing Side Rewards

If your side loses, you receive:

• Chapter 1: GPULSE rewards only (80,000 per ETH deposited)
• Chapter 2: Liquidity rewards only (0.2% of deposit amount per game)
• Your original deposit is not returned

Tokenomics

GPULSE is the protocol's core utility token, used for staking in Chapter 2 and representing computational power on the battlefield.

GPULSE Token Distribution

Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 GPULSE

• Game Rewards: 400,000,000 (40%)
• Team: 200,000,000 (20%) - subject to vesting
• Liquidity: 150,000,000 (15%)
• Marketing: 150,000,000 (15%)
• Treasury: 100,000,000 (10%)

Team Token Vesting

• Cliff Period: 180 days (no tokens claimable)
• Vesting Duration: 1,095 days (3 years)
• Vesting Schedule: Linear vesting after cliff
• Claimable Amount: Only vested tokens can be claimed

Important Notes

• Reward Claiming: Players must manually claim their rewards after each game
• Phase Transitions: Automatic based on elapsed time from game start
• Single Device Rule: Players cannot participate in the same game from multiple devices
• Deposit Limits: Minimum and maximum deposit amounts are configurable by the protocol owner
• Minority Protection: 30% threshold prevents any side from dominating through the minority rule
