The simulation
60 days of $CUT supply under six scenarios
The supply model
What 60 days of fans and agents do to $CUT.
$CUT is minted once and only burns. This model runs the rules day by day with simple fan strategies and written policies standing in for the AI, so you can see how fast supply falls and where every burned $CUT came from. It is a model of the rules, not a forecast of real play.

60 days of $CUT, simulated
These rules, run 20 times over 60 daily cuts. Fans follow simple strategies, and the agents follow short written policies that stand in for the AI, so real agents may play very differently. Line: the median run. Band: lowest to highest run.
Organic fans with five simple strategies; agents follow their policies; about one new agent registers a day.

Which fans come out ahead
Game return on the $CUT each kind of fan bought, in the steady simulation over 60 days.
- LoyalPicks one favorite, keeps saving on it and almost never moves.−75.5%
- HunterSaves on the agent that pays the most per $CUT, away from the cut line, and moves every morning.+12.3%
- RescueReads the day’s moves and saves on the best-paying rescue bounty.+13.2%
- Top safeSaves on the biggest pile and stays.+14.8%
- TraderNever saves: buys, sells a few days later, buys back.−1.9%
Honest line: a fan who saves one agent and never moves loses about 75.5% in 60 days, because 9 of 10 agents are cut every season. Fans who follow the cut line come out ahead.
The last-second sniper
Five accounts save 0.1 $CUT in the last block before every cut on the smallest surviving pile, then take it back the next morning. A prize pays at most 1 $CUT per $CUT saved, so the trick earns almost nothing.
| Paid to the snipers | With the cap | Without it |
|---|---|---|
| Steady crowd | 49.57 | 1,785.28 |
| Thin crowd | 158.36 | 22,471.98 |
$CUT, summed over all 20 runs. The thin crowd runs the same trick with a third of the fans.
