阿财 is counting
vault holds 0.000 ETH — buys CASHCAT for the fifty largest paws
Fifty lines, that’s all the wall holds. The fifty largest holders, ranked by what they hold right now. Weights are read at the moment of payment, not when the list was posted — so anyone who sold mid-cycle is paid on what is actually left in their wallet.
The wall is still empty.
Every shop in the world has one of these by the register with its paw in the air, and not one person has asked what number it’s on. They see a greeting. It’s a metronome. The cat has been keeping time since long before anyone thought to sell it as a figurine.
The paw goes up, the paw goes down.
Three hundred seconds, every time, two hundred and eighty-eight times a day. The lord who turned off the road and missed the lightning wasn’t chosen. He was just standing there when the count came around.
The dish behind the register fills up with what the shop pays at the door. When it’s full, 阿财 goes out and buys gold from somewhere else entirely, and brings that back instead. A savings jar returns what you put in. This is not a savings jar.
Temples painted their donors on the wall in gold, ranked, and the wall ran out of room at fifty. So that is how many the cat reads. Not the first fifty or the loudest fifty — the fifty holding most at the moment the paw comes down. People have fought over the fifty-first line for two hundred years. The cat has never once looked up from the count.
You don’t have to ask. You don’t have to claim. You don’t have to be watching. If your name is on the wall when the paw comes down, gold arrives.
Every cycle the vault has settled, newest first.
The paw hasn’t come down yet.
Every buy and sell pays a 4% tax straight to the vault, in ETH. Fixed at launch and immutable — nobody can raise it, lower it, or point it somewhere else.
The vault spends everything it holds on CASHCAT and pushes it out. If a cycle is too small to be worth the gas it rolls into the next one, so nothing is ever lost — the next blessing is just bigger.
Split by how much $ZCM you hold, not by rank. Splitting one bag across several wallets changes nothing, so there is no way to farm the list.
There is no withdraw function in the vault. Anyone can trigger a blessing and collect 1% for the gas, which is why it keeps running whether or not we are watching.
