How Billable works

1. Summary

Billable is an idle player-versus-player strategy game on Robinhood Chain. You own a firm of lawyer NFTs. Every 12 hours each lawyer does one job: Bill hours, Discovery, Litigate or Poach. All firms resolve at the same moment from one public random seed. After 15 turns (7.5 days, a court term), the firm with the highest Firm Value wins.

• Own the pieces. Lawyers are NFTs with a grade, six stats, skills and generated looks, all rolled at reveal from verifiable randomness.
• Skill over grind. Orders repeat until changed. The skill is reading the public ticker and putting each lawyer on the job it is built for.
• Balanced by simulation. Thousands of simulated terms check that no single job dominates and that playing to each lawyer's strengths is the best strategy.
• Sinks first. Upkeep, a claim tax and later-phase mint burns pull tokens back out. Genesis mint money never funds prizes.
• Verifiable. Randomness is on-chain, formulas are published, the turn engine is open, and results are committed on-chain for anyone to re-check.

2. The world

Docket Street is a city of towers, each holding a firm. Firms don't take turns: every twelve hours the whole street goes to work at once, and everybody finds out together. Lawyers bill clients, dig through evidence rooms, argue in court and quietly take calls from rival firms. A term ends after fifteen shifts, and the most valuable firm takes the corner office.

3. Lawyers

Each lawyer is an NFT. At mint it is a sealed case file. At reveal, a verifiable random number rolls its grade, skills and looks. The roll function is public, so any lawyer can be checked against the random number it came from.

Grades

E is the game's unit of pay: the base fee for one lawyer for one turn (130 tokens in the current model).

Six stats

Skills

Each skill has its own icon on the lawyer card in the game: grey for basic, blue for advanced, gold for signature.

Basic (+5 to one stat)

• Litigator Advocacy
• Closer Persuasion
• Researcher Research
• Workhorse Diligence
• Clean Record Ethics
• Well-Connected Reputation

Advanced (+8 plus an effect)

• Shark +10% steal in court
• Headhunter +15 points conversion chance
• Investigator +10% upgrades
• Fast Learner +8 Diligence, +50% XP
• Iron Clad can't be poached by a lower grade; never on Royalty, which is immune by grade
• Rainmaker +10% earnings

Signature (Legendary and Royalty)

• Immune Legendary only: can't be disbarred, and a winner takes no cut of its fees when it loses a Sue case; it can still be poached. Royalty rolls from the other three because it is immune by grade
• Mentor +2 all stats to nine teammates
• Tax Attorney −15% tax
• Kingmaker poached lawyers keep their rank

4. Looks and traits

The same random number that rolls a lawyer's grade and skills also rolls a 64-bit look, stored on-chain next to its stats. An open generator turns that number into the pixel lawyer: skin, hairstyle, hair colour, suit, neckwear and its colour, eyewear, facial hair, accessory and card backdrop. That's over 150 million combinations, before grade and skills.

Looks carry small stat bonuses:

• Clothing and accessories add +1 to +3 to one stat. Rarer pieces add more: a Tie is +1 Persuasion, a Monocle +3 Reputation, an Ivory suit +3 Ethics.
• Hairstyles all add the same +2, each to a different stat. For example: Slicked Back +2 Advocacy, Bald +2 Ethics, Afro +2 Reputation.
• Skin tone, hair colour, facial hair, neckwear colour and backdrop are cosmetic only. We don't want the game ranking anyone's appearance.
• Budget: on average looks add about +6 stat points in total, about one extra basic skill. The largest possible bonus to a single stat from looks is +10.

Two details are honest tells in the art. The prop in a lawyer's hand is its primary basic skill (gavel, contract, magnifier, mug, scales, phone). Lapel pins show any extra basic skills, and the card frame colour shows the grade. Looks bonuses count like skills: they feed every formula below.

Every look, its odds and its bonus

Names and families

Every lawyer is revealed with a first name and one of 64 family names, rolled from the same random number as its looks (for example Leo Kovac or Ruth Kessler). The family name is on the card and in the NFT's traits, so collectors can filter and hunt for it.

Family firm bonus: the biggest group of lawyers in your firm who share a family name gives the whole firm more earnings. Only that one family counts; a second family doesn't add more.

All 64 family names are equally likely (1 in 64 each) and all give the same bonus; none is stronger than another, so the hunt is for many of the same name. Bonus by the size of your biggest family: 1 member +0%, 2 +1%, 3 +2%, 5 +3%, 7 +4%, 10 +5%, 15 +7.5%, 20 or more +10%. It applies to everything your lawyers earn (Bill, Dig, Sue and Poach pay), for every lawyer in the firm, not just the family members.

The 64 family names: Achebe, Ashford, Barlow, Beckett, Blackwood, Calloway, Carver, Castillo, Chandler, Crane, Dalton, Delacroix, Draper, Dubois, Ellery, Eriksen, Fairfax, Fenwick, Finch, Fontaine, Gallagher, Grayson, Haddad, Harlow, Hawthorne, Holloway, Ingram, Iversen, Jansen, Kapoor, Keene, Kessler, Kovac, Langford, Lockhart, Lowell, Marsh, Mensah, Mercer, Montague, Nakamura, Novak, Okafor, Osei, Pembroke, Petrov, Quinn, Radley, Reyes, Rhodes, Rosen, Rossi, Sato, Silva, Sinclair, Sterling, Tanaka, Thorne, Underwood, Voss, Wakefield, Whitlock, Yamada, Zhou.

5. A turn

1. Management (paid first): level your Managing Partner, craft, equip or unequip items, repair, rank up, toggle the retainer.
2. Upkeep: 30 tokens per working lawyer, times the reward pool's rate that turn (it falls with pay when the pool is shared), and falling by up to 20% as your firm grows toward 50 lawyers. Upkeep is charged after the turn, so every lawyer works even when the treasury is empty. The treasury can go below zero: while it is, the firm pays 10% of what it owes at the start of every turn (burned), can't withdraw tokens and can't unstake lawyers, and everything it earns pays the debt off first. Bill hours always earns more than its upkeep, so a firm in debt can bill its way back.
3. Jobs resolve for every firm at once from the turn's random seed (next section).
4. Claim: a 20% tax is taken from gross fees. Tax items and the Tax Attorney skill reduce it.
5. Losses: disbarred lawyers are burned. A poached lawyer moves to the winning firm with its rank reset; its items go back to the firm that lost it, into the evidence locker. Any firm can be poached every turn.
6. Public ticker: each court pool's scores, match rates and conversion rates are published. That's what good players plan with.

6. The four jobs

Fair fights

There are no leagues and nobody picks a target: every Litigate and Poach duel is drawn at random from all lawyers on that job. "Rank" is the level you buy with $BILLABLE and XP (0–10).

• Win pay shrinks with the gap: the winner's pay and fee cut are multiplied by 1 − 20% per rank of difference, down to 25%. Even fights pay most.
• Poaching fades with the gap: the base chance that a lawyer changes firm drops 25% per rank of difference (75%, 50%, 25%, then none from a gap of 4), both ways. Bonuses from Headhunter and items fade half as fast (87.5%, 75%, 62.5%), and nothing converts from a gap of 4 (except for a lawyer wearing The Universal Subpoena).
• Rank gap of 2 or more: nobody can be disbarred in that case, either way.

Every duel uses one published formula:

P(win) = 1 / (1 + 10^((their score − your score) / 20))

A lawyer's score is its stat, plus 0.5 for every consecutive turn on the same combat job (maximum +5). A one-turn detour keeps this streak: a lawyer that leaves Sue or Poach for one turn (another job or a turn off) and goes straight back carries on where it left off; a second turn away loses it. Bill has no such hold. A 5-point edge wins about 64% of the time; a 20-point edge about 91%.

7. Building a firm

• Upgrading lawyers (ranks 1–10): see the table below.
• Managing Partner (one per firm, soulbound): earns CEO XP each turn, 2.5% of the XP its firm's lawyers earned (at most 50 a turn), and needs a total of 25 CEO XP for level 2, 75 for 3, 150 for 4, 250 for 5, then steeper: 450, 800, 1,400, 2,400 and 4,000 for level 10. A level-up also costs tokens, rising steeply with the level (300 for level 2, 750, 1,250, 2,000, 3,500, 6,000, 12,000, 25,000 and 50,000 for level 10; burned) and gives +1 to all stats per level above 1 to the lawyers in its span of control (5 + 5·(L−1) lawyers). Span of control keeps giant firms and multi-accounts in check.
• Firm name and CEO look: you name your firm when you open it (3–24 characters, shown in capitals, no two firms alike) and dress your CEO from the same parts as the lawyers; rarer parts unlock as the CEO levels up. Name and look change together in one transaction and are purely cosmetic.
• Items: gear for your lawyers, rooms for the Managing Partner and one-turn consumables. They have their own chapter: 8. Items.
• Retainer (a firm-wide switch): each of your lawyers on Poach gets +3 Ethics in its Poach duel, for 0.05 E (6.5 tokens) per Poach lawyer per turn. It only matters when your poacher loses a duel: then the winner has a 20% base chance to take it, and +3 Ethics cuts that chance by 9% (for example 20% → 18.2%). It does nothing for lawyers on other jobs or in Sue cases. Royalty lawyers can't be poached, so they pay nothing for it. Protective effects (harder to poach, less likely to be disbarred, shields) do nothing on Royalty either.

Upgrading a lawyer: ranks

Every lawyer can be ranked up from 0 to 10 during management. A rank-up needs enough experience (XP) and costs tokens; the tokens count toward the lawyer's book value, so ranking up never lowers your Firm Value. XP stops at what the next rank needs: until that rank-up is bought, the lawyer earns no more XP (it still earns tokens as usual; its Managing Partner gets no XP share from it), so XP can't be saved up for several rank-ups at once.

XP per turn worked: Bill hours 12.5, Discovery 10 (twice that on a turn it finds a Legendary item, 3× for a Mythic, 5× for a Royalty), Litigate 12.5 or 25 for a won case, Poach 12.5, or 35 for a won duel and 50 when that win brings a lawyer over (Fast Learner earns 50% more). Winning is what teaches: a turn without a win learns like a turn of Bill hours. A lawyer at rank 10 has +11 on every stat and has cost 32,300 tokens. A poached lawyer's rank resets to 0 (unless the new firm has a Kingmaker).

8. Items

Lawyers find items while they work. An item makes one lawyer better at its job, protects it, or buffs the firm. There are 91 items in seven tiers. Every item shows an Item Power number, and the tiers' power bands never overlap, so a higher tier is always the stronger item.

Three kinds

Gear and rooms each come in eight lines that run from Common to Epic, and the tier is in the name: Intern's (Common), Clerk's (Uncommon), Associate's (Rare), Partner's (Epic). Gear: Gavel, Mantle, Quill, Signet, Lens, Hourglass, Ledger, Satchel. Rooms: Moot Courtroom, Boardroom, Archive, Bullpen, Ethics Chamber, Portrait Gallery, Treasury, Evidence Vault. Above Epic there are 15 named artefacts, among them The Universal Subpoena (Legendary gear, +8 Persuasion): its wearer's Poach wins can convert at any rank gap, either way. Consumables exist from Common to Rare only.

Seven tiers

• Odds per find are the base odds on every job; Research and a Poach conversion can lift a Common, Uncommon or Rare find one tier (see Finding items). The rarest single items land once in 9,000 to 2,000,000 finds. Every item is numbered and remembers the firm that found it; the two Royalty pieces exist once, ever.
• Rank to use applies to gear and consumables: the lawyer needs that rank. Rooms have no rank limit.
• A room buffs that many of your most valuable lawyers, never more than the Managing Partner's span of control. Three rooms of one tier add a floor bonus for the lawyers they reach: +1 on all stats for Common or Uncommon rooms, +2 for Rare or Epic.
• Book value is what the item adds to your Firm Value (a consumable counts half). Item values and effects may be tuned after the testnet term.

Finding items

Discovery always finds an item; the other jobs only sometimes do. On those jobs the chance scales with Research alone (the digging stat), with diminishing returns: the Research factor is Research ÷ (Research + 40), about 0.1 for a lawyer with 5 Research and 0.33 with 20.

Tier lifts only ever move Common, Uncommon and Rare finds up (at most to Epic), so the Legendary, Mythic and Royalty odds per find are exactly the published ones.

Sets

Two pieces of one set on the same lawyer add a set bonus. That takes two gear slots, so an Epic or better lawyer. The four ranked sets grow with the tier of the weaker piece: ×1 for Common, ×1.5 Uncommon, ×2 Rare, ×3 Epic.

Wear, repair and crafting

• Wear: gear loses one turn of durability each turn its lawyer works and breaks (is gone) at zero. Gear in the locker never wears, and gear on a rank 7+ lawyer doesn't either. Rooms never wear. A broken Rare or Epic item's NFT is burned.
• Repair: Rare and Epic gear can be repaired back to full for 25% of its book value, any time before it breaks. Common and Uncommon gear can't be repaired.
• Crafting: three items of one tier craft into one random item of the next tier, up to Epic. The fee is paid either way; when a craft fails, the three items are gone. A crafted item keeps the wear of what went into it: it starts with the average share of durability the three had left (three Commons with 1 of 5 turns left make an Uncommon with 2 of 8), so worn-out gear can't be crafted into fresh gear. Legendary, Mythic and Royalty items can only be found, never crafted, so their odds stay what they say.
• When a lawyer leaves: gear on a poached lawyer goes back to its old firm's locker; gear on a disbarred lawyer is destroyed; rooms are always safe.

Managing items

• The evidence locker keeps every spare item with no limit; nothing is ever lost for going unused. Copies of the same item share one tile.
• One plan per turn: everything you do with items (equip, unequip, place or remove a room, use a consumable, repair, craft) goes into one plan per firm per turn, sent in one transaction (network fee only). Sending again in the same turn replaces the plan. It is carried out when that turn resolves, before the lawyers work, in this order: crafts, unequips, equips, rooms out, rooms in, consumables, repairs. A move that isn't possible any more (a full slot, a lawyer of too low a rank, an item that is gone) is skipped. Crafting and repair fees come out of the firm's treasury in that turn's settlement.
• Auto items (on by default) writes the plan for you every turn. Gear goes where it adds most to the stat of the lawyer's job, then by Item Power, starting with your most valuable lawyers; a lawyer keeps what it wears on a tie, so gear doesn't shuffle around. The strongest rooms fill the Partner slots. Consumables go to lawyers whose job they fit. Spare gear is crafted when the expected result is worth more than the three pieces and the fee. Rare and Epic gear that would break this turn is repaired, with at most half the treasury. Anything you place by hand stays where you put it. You still press Send item moves once a turn; with auto items off, only your own moves are sent.
• Plan size: a plan holds about 245 equips (16,384 bytes on chain). If a very large firm's automatic plan is longer, the app sends the most useful moves first and plans the rest again next turn.

Items as NFTs

Epic and better items can become NFTs. Nothing is minted while an item is only used in the game: its record is in the game state committed on chain every turn. Take one out (a small ETH fee per item, currently 0.00005 ETH, pays the gas of minting it for you; never above 0.001 ETH) and it is minted to your wallet at the next turn, ready to trade. Bring it back in (any firm can) and the token is held for that firm, and the item is in its locker from the next turn. Common to Rare items live in the game only.

9. Court terms and winning

A term is 15 turns of 12 hours. Firm Value = tokens + lawyers' book value + items' book value, where a lawyer's book value is its grade value (table above) plus everything spent on its ranks. The highest Firm Value at the end of turn 15 wins the term. A firm that loses its last lawyer is dissolved and ranks below every surviving firm.

Seasons and prizes

A season is one court term of 15 turns (season 1 is turns 1-15, season 2 turns 16-30, and so on). Two leaderboards run through every season, one for firms and one for lawyers, ranked by season points:

Rivals and revenge. A firm that poaches or disbars one of your lawyers becomes your rival. Each lawyer it takes gives you one revenge: the next duel one of your lawyers wins against that firm scores 10 more season points. Once you have won back as many duels as they took lawyers, the score is even and the bonus stops until they take another. Revenge is bookkeeping for the leaderboard only: it never changes a duel, a payout or a token. After every turn the app's recap opens on the turn's front page: your firm's biggest moment and the three biggest stories of the whole game (a star lawyer poached, an upset against the odds, a revenge, a Legendary find, a new leader).

Most Wanted and hot streaks. The season's three best lawyers by points (as the turn starts) are Most Wanted: any lawyer that beats one of them in a Sue or Poach duel scores 15 more points. After a season's last turn its top three stay Most Wanted for the first turn of the next season. A lawyer that wins duels in a row is on fire: its 3rd and 4th win in a row score 5 more each, every win from the 5th 10 more, and the lawyer that ends a streak of 3 or more scores 10 more. A lost duel ends a streak; Sue with no case or Poach with no match doesn't. Another job or a turn off holds it for one turn: a duel won the turn after carries it on, a second turn away ends it. Matches stay random: nobody can pick who they face.

Case of the turn. Every turn has a case, drawn one turn ahead from the turn's random seed (never the same case twice in a row) and shown in the app while you set your jobs. A case changes season points, XP, how often items are found, the poach or disbarment risk, or who is likelier to win a duel for that turn. It never changes how many tokens the game pays out in total.

The recap also lists your close calls: a poach attempt your lawyer survived (with the chance it had of being taken), a lawyer you nearly brought over, a duel lost as the favourite.

A lawyer's points belong to the lawyer: if it changes firm (poached or sold), they go with it. A firm keeps the points its lawyers earned while they worked for it, plus its rank-ups and crafts. A total below zero counts as zero.

Who takes part. Every firm is on the leaderboard; it takes part in the prizes when its Managing Partner is level 2 or higher at the end of the season. A lawyer's prize is paid to the firm it is staked with at the end of the season, if that firm takes part; otherwise it stays in the pool.

Prize pools. Season prize pools are split 70% to firms and 30% to individual lawyers. They are funded by 25% of the reward budget that isn't paid out (lost duels and the like) and 20% of every Phase 2+ mint payment, never by Genesis mint money. Each pool pays out by the same table:

That is 43.5% of each pool. Paid places: firms, 10 or 5% of the firms taking part, whichever is more; lawyers, 50 or 1% of the lawyers that worked this season. From place 11 down, each band's total is shared by points, so a bigger lead gets a bigger slice. When fewer places are filled than the table has, each place still gets only its own share (with 10 firms, 30% of the firm pool is paid), and the places nobody filled stay in the pool for the next season. No single firm or lawyer gets more than 20% of its pool. At most 99 places are paid per pool. Ties share their places evenly. Whatever isn't paid stays in the pool for the next season.

After a season's last turn is committed and its 30-minute review window has passed, the prizes are committed on chain as one Merkle root; each firm claims its prize (its own and its lawyers') into its treasury. A claimed prize is usable in the game at once (rank-ups, CEO levels, upkeep); it becomes withdrawable evenly over one season (15 turns, 7.5 days) counted from the moment the prizes are committed, so every firm's prize is free on the same date and claiming later doesn't delay it, and it is spent in the game before tokens that are already free. The leaderboard shows during the season what each place would get if the season ended now. Token or ETH prizes are subject to the legal review described under Risks.

10. Balance

The rules engine is written once and used three ways: to play, to resolve real turns, and to simulate thousands of terms between automated strategies. Those include random play, greedy play, a "smart" expected-value player that reads the public ticker, a "specialist" (every lawyer on its specialty), a cautious player that never poaches, a sandbagger that never ranks up, and one-job strategies.

Results with the current rules (open random matching, rank-gap protection, item finds on every job, family names, looks):

Average Firm Value gain per lawyer over a term, in E (duplicate rosters): heuristic +9.33, specialist +9.19, sandbag +8.89, cautious +6.99, all discovery +6.65, all bill +4.62, all litigate +3.81, all poach +3.36, greedy +2.61, random +2.09.

The design goals behind those checks:

• Play to your lawyers' strengths. Each archetype's best job is its specialty. Simple specialty play is level with the smart player (a coin flip head-to-head) and beats every other strategy, so reading the ticker is a skill edge, not a requirement.
• Ranks matter. A firm that never ranks up to hide from strong opponents earns clearly less than one that does.
• A risk ladder. For a lawyer with no job skill at a fair matchup: Bill < Litigate < Poach. Playing it safe is allowed and costs expected value.
• No dominant job. No one-job strategy finishes above more than 60% of the field.
• Grow or protect. Ranks and items make lawyers stronger. A poached lawyer loses its rank (its items come back to you), so rank up the lawyers you can protect and keep poachers lean.

11. The token

The in-game currency is $BILLABLE, with a hard cap of 90,000,000.

Allocation

The hard cap applies to tokens in existence: tokens burned in the game make room under it, so rewards can keep flowing at their decaying rate.

Emissions

Pool rate = min(1, pool top ÷ lawyers working, weighted by job)

Rewards come from a reward pool with a fixed top. At launch the top has room for 6,250 lawyers at full pay (812,500 tokens a turn), and it falls 4% every season (15 turns). Below the top every working lawyer gets full pay, E = 130 tokens times its job's rate; a handful of early players can't farm more than their own pay. Above the top, all lawyers share it: pay and upkeep are both multiplied by the pool rate. Job weights: Bill 0.5, Discovery 0.8, Litigate 1.0, Poach 1.2. Whatever the payouts don't use is never minted. The model's two-year run keeps new supply within the 73.5M reward allocation.

Sinks

The economy is modelled day by day for two years under Base, Bear and Bull scenarios. The model's main finding is that player income is set by demand (new players, mint buys and prize buys), not by emissions: printing more lowers the price one-for-one. So the targets are about token behaviour: price roughly stable over 60 days, sells no bigger than buys, net inflation below 1% a day and falling, and burns above half of emissions. The burn target for later phases is still under review.

12. Mint

Genesis

• 5,000 lawyers at $14.99, paid in ETH.
• Reveal fee: each mint transaction (up to 20 lawyers) also pays one small randomness fee in ETH, currently 0.0001 ETH. It goes to the service that delivers the verifiable random number for the reveal and covers its gas; it is not part of the mint proceeds. Later-phase mints pay the same fee. It can be adjusted to gas costs but never above 0.001 ETH (fixed in the contract).
• Each lawyer earns 1,000 tokens when it is revealed, paid to whoever owns it at that moment (an unrevealed lawyer carries no tokens and can't be staked). The tokens lock until trading opens (about 7 days after the mint closes). 10% unlock then, and the rest vests over about 30 days. Locked tokens can already be used for everything in the game (upkeep, ranks, Managing Partner, crafting, repairs, later-phase mints); they just can't be withdrawn until they unlock.
• Earnings unlock by the end of the turn. Tokens your firm earns are in your treasury and usable in the game straight away; from the moment you settle them they become withdrawable to your wallet bit by bit until the current turn ends (settle 720 with 12 hours to go, and 60 more can leave every hour). Tokens you settle later join whatever is still unlocking, and the total unlocks by the end of the turn. Spending uses locked tokens first, then tokens still unlocking, so what is already withdrawable is touched last.
• Proceeds: 30% paired into liquidity, 70% to development. No Genesis money funds prizes.
• Date: to be announced

Later phases

• 3,000 lawyers per phase, sold as a Dutch auction quoted in USD (Phase 2: $12–25, Phase 3: $18–35, Phase 4: $25–49), payable in ETH or tokens, including locked tokens in your firm's treasury.
• Every payment is split three ways: a share buys and burns tokens (40% in Phase 2, then +10 points per phase, up to 70%), 20% buys tokens for the season prize pool, and the rest becomes locked, protocol-owned liquidity (40% in Phase 2, falling to 10%). Later-phase lawyers come with no token allocation.
• Gates: a new phase opens only if at least 70% of lawyers are staked and the lowest grade's 24-hour floor price is at least 1.1× the phase's USD target. A mint never opens below the market.

Royalties on secondary sales (OpenSea creator fee): 5%. Once a season the team adds half of what came in to the protocol-owned liquidity; the other half funds development.

13. Fairness and architecture

The game is a hybrid, because resolving thousands of duels on-chain every 12 hours would cost too much gas.

• On-chain: the token, the lawyer NFTs (grade, skills, look and rank), vesting, the mint, and the game contract. The game contract holds staked lawyers and their standing orders, records each turn's random seed, commits results and pays claims through cumulative Merkle proofs.
• Off-chain, verifiable: an open resolver reads the chain, runs the published rules engine with the turn's seed and commits the result as a Merkle root. Anyone can run the same engine on the same inputs and compare.
• Randomness: a verifiable random function supplies both mint reveals and turn seeds. On Robinhood Chain this is an OpenVRF adapter (drand-based), used because Chainlink VRF doesn't currently list the chain. It will be audited before mainnet.

14. Referrals

Referral rewards come only from money that already exists; nothing extra is minted.

• Mint referrals (Genesis only): 5% of the mint price, paid in ETH out of the development share. The liquidity share is untouched. The referrer must hold a staked lawyer. Limit: 200 referred lawyers per referrer.
• Firm referrals: for 30 turns, the referrer receives 10% of the referred firm's claim tax, tax that would otherwise be burned.
• Self-referrals are ignored.

15. Roadmap

16. Risks

• Market risk: tokens and NFTs can lose some or all of their value. The game can't guarantee income for anyone.
• Game risk: lawyers on Poach can be poached, and lawyers who lose in court can be disbarred.
• Technical risk: smart contracts and the randomness adapter can have bugs. We commit to an audit before mainnet.
• Regulatory risk: rules for games with paid prizes and crypto assets differ by country. Prize mechanics will be reviewed by counsel before launch, and some features may be unavailable in some places.
• Design risk: numbers may change after the testnet term. Changes will be published before they take effect.
