Born to goon.
Forced to mine.

Proof of Goon is the first consensus mechanism you can run with one hand. Half of a fixed billion GOON sits in an on-chain vault, and the only way to get it out is to log in to Goontown and grind: stroke, edge, bust, level up, repeat.

Full token integration is on the roadmap and is not yet fully live on mainnet. Until it is, everything you earn is provisional Goon Power, not GOON. This is the only GOON address. Check every character before you trust a link that claims to be us.

Six original loops documenting miners in the wild. They are drawn as vectors, which makes them sharper than 4K and considerably sharper than the people in them.

02The primitive

The first consensus you can run one-handed.

Proof of Work burns electricity. Proof of Stake burns capital. Proof of Goon burns the one thing you were never going to use anyway: your evening.

01 · Work

Participation is the work

No hashpower, no stake. Goon Power accrues from time spent actually fighting in Goontown, bounties completed, contributions reviewed and proofs signed. An idle tab produces exactly nothing. So does an idle hand.

02 · Settlement

Every epoch settles on-chain

Each day the epoch's emission is split by Goon Power and committed as a Merkle root. The full distribution file is public and its hash sits beside the root. What happens in the cave ends up on a ledger.

03 · Scarcity

Stamina halves on schedule

Emission halves every 210 epochs. So will yours. The program rejects any root that allocates more than the schedule has released, and nobody gets a vote.

03Architecture

Scored off-chain. Finished on-chain.

The operator decides who earned what, in public. The program decides how much can exist, when it becomes claimable, and that nothing leaves the vault any other way. It has considerably more self-control than you do.

Fig. 2 · Settlement pipeline
  1. 1

    Earn Goon Power

    Four capped sources feed one score, at most 100 GP per wallet per epoch.

  2. 2

    Settle the epoch

    The epoch's emission is split pro rata by GP. Allocations are cumulative and the full file is published.

  3. 3

    Commit the root

    The oracle posts root, total and file hash. The program checks the total against the schedule.

  4. 4

    Wait 12 hours

    The root is visible but not claimable. A guardian key can cancel it during the window.

  5. 5

    Claim

    Anyone with a valid Merkle proof withdraws from the vault. No admin instruction can.

A≤ 45 GP

Grinding

Every second you spend actually hitting something in Goontown counts, with diminishing returns through the day. The server runs the fight, so the only way to earn is to be in one.

B≤ 40 GP

Contributions

Art, code, bug reports, docs, mini-games. Scored by a reviewer against a published ceiling. The same link never pays twice.

C3 × 10 GP

Daily bounties

Clear sixty enemies, finish twenty with a Bust, help take down a boss. Each pays once a day.

D≤ 30 GP

Integration proofs

Allowlisted partners sign that you did something on their side. Domain-separated, expiring, single-use, revocable until settlement.

04Supply

One billion. Half of it you have to work for.

Fixed at creation and split down the middle. Nobody on the team was handed a single dabloon. They have to goon like everyone else.

05Emission

Lasts longer than you do.

The vault does not finish early. It releases a ceiling each epoch, and the ceiling halves every 210.

Fig. 4 · Emission schedule

GOON released per epoch

Halves every 210 epochs (one epoch = one day). The program enforces this ceiling on every root.

07Guarantees

Not a faucet. We have standards.

A reserve anyone can drain with a script is a faucet with extra steps. These are the things in the way.

INV-01

The schedule is enforced by the program

A root that allocates more than the halving schedule has released is rejected on-chain. The operator chooses who earned what, never how much exists.

INV-02

A 12-hour settlement window

A published root is not claimable straight away. The distribution file is public during the window and a guardian key can cancel a bad root before it settles.

INV-03

100 GP per wallet, per epoch

Each source has its own ceiling, and raw GP above 60 counts at 50%. Grinding past the cap earns exactly nothing.

INV-04

More wallets, same reward

Rewards are pro rata, so farms dilute each other. Wallets sharing a network fingerprint beyond 3 split 3 wallets' worth of GP.

INV-05

A quiet epoch does not overpay

The GP denominator never drops below 10,000, so one GP is never worth more than about 119 GOON in era 1. The remainder stays in the vault and is re-released slowly.

INV-06

Honest about the limits

A browser cannot prove a human is present, and we do not pretend otherwise. The goal is that cheating is capped, visible and not worth the effort.
