Final Binary - Litepaper

Version 1.2 - 2025

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

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:

Deposit Types & Visibility

Open Deposits

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

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.

Reveal Process

The Reveal phase begins immediately after the Hidden phase ends:

Deposit Limits

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.

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.

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:

Losing Side Rewards

If your side loses, you receive:

Tokenomics

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