There are 7 lands — one per territory — on a single world board. You seize a territory with ETH, earn CLDR while you hold it, and exit when someone outbids you — taking 85% of the next seize price in ETH.

CLDR is fair-launched on Stonks. The protocol does not pre-fund a mining vault and does not mint a team allocation. Mining rewards come only from buybacks funded by seize ETH.

• Seven territories — scarcity by design
• Owner-only — no renters, no operators, no leases
• ETH for conquest — CLDR for mining and staking
• Transparent split on every seize: 85% · 3% · 10% · 2%
• Fixed floor step: +10% after each successful seize

1. 01Open the globe and select a territory.
2. 02Seize it by paying the current floor in ETH.
3. 03Hold to accrue CLDR mining from the buyback-funded vault.
4. 04Optionally stake CLDR to earn a share of the 3% ETH slice.
5. 05When outbid, receive 85% of the new seize price in ETH instantly.
6. 06Repeat on the same territory or expand across the board.

Each land is a named vent on the globe. Selecting it opens the command panel for seize, portfolio, and stake actions.

Weight is deterministic from land ID and does not change the seize price. It only affects how mining rewards are split among holders.

There is no per-territory premium at genesis. Hot lands rise because they flip more often — not because the protocol assigned them a higher starting price.

Genesis exception: when a land has never been owned, there is no previous owner. The 85% slice is redirected into the buyback path so early conquest still seeds the mining vault instead of minting phantom refunds.

• Genesis buyback path = 85% + 10% = 95% of seize ETH toward CLDR buyback
• Overbid buyback path = 10% of seize ETH toward CLDR buyback
• Rounding dust accrues to the protocol slice

CalderaMiner tracks each land’s effective weight and accrues rewards pro-rata. Claiming mining also refreshes activity on your lands.

• No pre-allocated mining fund
• Rewards arrive only after successful buybacks deposit CLDR
• If buyback ETH queues (no router / thin liquidity), flush when the pool is ready

CalderaStake is a separate module. Stakers do not need to own land. Land holders do not need to stake. The two yield paths are complementary.

• Stake CLDR → earn ETH from the global seize stream
• Claim ETH anytime rewards are pending (independent of unstake)
• If ETH arrives before anyone is staked, it residual-queues and flushes when stake appears

• Unstake is instant — no queue, no cooldown (COOLDOWN = 0)
• Withdraw any amount up to your staked balance in one transaction
• Pending ETH rewards remain claimable before or after unstake

CLDR is fair-launched on Stonks. The game stack points at that token only — no team mint inside Caldera contracts. Seize buybacks purchase CLDR from the open market to fund the mining vault.

1. 01User calls Game.seize{value}(landId).
2. 02Game updates ownership and notifies Miner.
3. 03Game sends ETH to previous owner / Stake / Buyback / protocol accrual.
4. 04Buyback swaps ETH→CLDR (or queues) and deposits into Miner.
5. 05Holders claimMining(); stakers claimEth().

• Smart-contract risk — contracts may contain bugs; audits are not implied by this document
• Market risk — land floors can rise faster than you can exit if you are not outbid
• Liquidity risk — buybacks depend on a live CLDR/ETH market and router
• Opportunity cost — ETH locked in a land earns only via mining / future outbid, not via guaranteed yield
• Chain risk — Robinhood Chain availability, fees, and finality apply
