Game Objective and Rules
Burnt.gg – Game Rules & Mechanics
Welcome to Burnt.gg, a Web3 social experiment blending tokenomics, strategy, and raw game theory. Only one can win. Everyone else will get burnt.
🎯 Objective
Accumulate and burn 5% of the total $BURNT token supply to unlock the prize vault. The vault is funded entirely by the community during the token sale and stored in ZETA.
If no one reaches the threshold by the game’s end, the vault disappears forever.
⛽ How to Play
Step 1: Mint a $BURNT Token
Minting is available for a limited window. The earlier you join, the cheaper the mint — starting at just 0.25 ZETA . With each passing day, the price increases 10%, adding urgency and rewarding early adopters. Each wallet can mint only one token, and all the funds raised from minting go directly into the prize vault, denominated in ZETA. Minting has no cap but will permanently close 1 week after the trading window opens.
Step 2: Wait and Strategize
For the first two weeks, tokens are non-transferable. This creates a period of quiet accumulation and reflection — a calm before the storm. Maybe you wanna invite your friends and convince them mint, or maybe you just wanna play it quiet and hope nobody finds out about the game.
Step 3: Trading window opens
Once trading opens, an initial liquidity will be deposited into a dex, players must decide: will they flip for a quick profit/loss, begin accumulating more tokens from others, or simply wait and watch? The choice is yours
Step 4: Burn to Win
If you manage to hold 5% of the total $BURNT supply, you unlock the ability to burn your tokens and claim the entire prize vault. This action ends the game immediately. But reaching 5% isn’t easy — and with each new player, that target gets harder. Timing is everything as if the goal is not reached by anyone when the deadline is reached, the game will shut down.
⏳ Game Timeline
Important dates:
April 3rd – Game launches + minting begins (anyone can mint 1 token per wallet)
April 17th 12pm utc – Token becomes tradable and initial liquidity will be deposited
April 24th 12pm utc – Minting closes
May 4th – Game ends if no one claims the vault and prize pool is withdrawn
🔥 Mechanics Breakdown
Prize Vault
The prize vault grows with every mint and represents the collective hope (and greed) of the player base. It is held in ZETA, making it a real and desirable reward. If no one meets the win condition by the final date, the vault is withdrawn and the game ends — unresolved and unclaimed aka everyone loses.
Token Dynamics
There is no cap to the number of tokens that can be minted, which adds an interesting layer to the game. As more users join and mint their $BURNT, the size of the vault increases — but so does the difficulty of reaching 5% of the total supply. This creates a natural tension between community participation and individual win potential.
Burn to Claim
Burning tokens isn’t just a transaction — it’s a signal. To burn is to end the game. The moment a player hits 5% and chooses to burn, they walk away with the entire vault. But this opportunity only comes once. The system is designed to accept a single burn winner, so every move counts.
📊 Tools Provided
To assist players, the platform offers a real-time leaderboard to track major holders, a supply calculator to see how close you are to 5%, and a vault tracker that shows the growing ZETA pool. A countdown timer keeps the pressure high as the deadline approaches.
💡 Strategy & Game Theory
Success in Burnt.gg isn’t just about collecting tokens — it’s about mastering human behavior under pressure. Players who understand game theory will immediately recognize familiar dynamics: bluffing, coordination, scarcity, and defection.
Some players may choose to mint early and wait, banking on the rising price to bring in new participants and create future demand. Others will aim to quietly accumulate after trading opens, buying from weaker hands. Some might form unofficial alliances or even DAOs to pool resources and attempt a shared win — though ultimately, only one address can pull the trigger. Trust, in this context, becomes a liability.
As the game nears its end, the pressure intensifies. The leaderboard becomes a battleground. If someone appears close to 5%, it might spark a market frenzy: people panic, others dump, some double down. The game is not just played with tokens, but with perception — what others think you might do can be more powerful than your actual holdings.
There's also a psychological warfare component. Players might intentionally buy just under 5% to bluff the market. They might tweet screenshots, flex their wallet activity, or try to bait others into selling. Every move on-chain becomes part of the narrative.
In essence, Burnt.gg is a modern version of a classic prisoner's dilemma: if no one burns, no one wins. But whoever moves first, if they’re ready, takes it all. The longer players wait, the bigger the vault — but the greater the chance that someone else might beat them to it.
Holding your token to the end could mean glory or nothing. Flipping early could mean a quick profit — or missing out on the prize. Every decision is irreversible. Every moment counts.
