gods and olympus

who can be a god

Every coin that has been fired is a god. There is no application and no whitelist. If a coin graduates, it can receive offerings.

$PITHOS is a god by default. It sits in the god list from day one, and is the pre-selected choice in the launch flow.

olympus

Olympus is the set of the 12 gods that receive the most offerings in the rolling window. They are featured at the top of the site, with their own temple page.

ranking formula

score(god) = sum of offerings to god, in HYPE,
             where offering.time > now - window

Ties are broken by the most recent offering. The window is TBD (testnet simulation: 7 days).

Only the HYPE value of offerings counts. Market cap, price and holders have no effect. Rank cannot be bought any way other than by coins actually trading and paying offerings.

no fixed epochs

There is no daily snapshot and no reset time. People trade in every timezone, so a rule that favours one hour favours one part of the world. Rank is recomputed on every offering, and offerings age out continuously.

entering and leaving

A god enters Olympus when its window score passes the score of the 12th seat. The god it displaces leaves in the same moment. In the interface, a pilgrim carries the shard up or down the steps.

what a seat gives

A seat on Olympus is visibility. It puts a god at the top of the agora and first in the launch flow's god list, which tends to attract more worshippers. A seat does not change any fee or give any on-chain privilege.
