One coin economy across games, clans, bots, agents, and teams: 100 coins = exactly $1.00 ($0.01/coin). Every price already includes the 25% platform cut - never added on top.
The promise
When you pay 400 coins ($4.00) for compute, 100 goes to the platform and 300 credits the provider as on-site platform credits - but you only ever see the gross 400. Same rule for game rentals, clan fees, game AI, Buddy turns, and squad cloud. Individual earn shares mint time-locked Crowns under Terms 8A.1 (convert 1:1 to Coins after a 30-day legal lock (instant once unlocked) or cash out via our payout provider (30 days + 5-10 business days, KYC required, countries not yet announced); shared wallet credits are spendable on cloud computing, game credits, and other on-site services only; never cash-out, never withdrawable. Your receipt is /my/usage/.
Example: a 400-coin ($4.00) job โ 300 coins provider credits, 100 coins platform. You only ever see the gross 400. All credits are on-site only (cloud compute, game credits, other on-site services); never cash-out, never withdrawable.

Self-defense
The ledger
There is no balance column anywhere. Every coin movement appends one row to the coin_ledger table, and your balance is always SUM(delta) over your rows - computed live by the get_my_coin_balance() function. Paid Shopify orders leave a second trail in coin_grants (one row per order), and each grant can mint coins exactly once.
coin_ledger โ append-only, newest first
SUM(delta)๐ฐ GET /api/coins/balance
Calls get_my_coin_balance() for the caller only - no arguments, nothing to inject. Returns your coins plus the centicentcoin count.
๐งพ GET /api/coins/history
Reads your own coin_ledger rows (delta + reason + timestamp, newest first). Your receipt drawer, straight from the ledger.
๐ No client writes, ever
Both tables deny client writes at the database level - Row Level Security allows reading your own rows only. Money moves through server RPCs alone.
Checkout
Checkout builds a cart link - it never mints coins itself. Coins mint only from the HMAC-verified Shopify webhook after payment, and if the purchase email differs from your login email, the attach-by-email recovery on /account pairs them up.
Refunds + gifts
Purchases are final except where the law says otherwise - but inside 90 days, the unspent remainder of a purchased lot can come home. Free grants (trial, daily, referrals, alpha) are never refundable; only paid packs are.
โฉ๏ธ How refunds work
๐ Alpha + daily + dust
Three currencies
One emoji, one meaning, everywhere: ๐ช Coins are closed-loop spend credits, ๐ Crowns are creator earnings with two exits, ๐ป Ghost is an org-work record with no value at all. ๐ธ means real fiat, and ๐ Love Letters are clan applause you can never buy.
๐ช Coins (spend)
Bought, granted, or metered. Spend on-site only - never payout-eligible, never cash-out. 100 coins = $1.00 of platform credit.
๐ Crowns (earn)
Minted only from gifted net (tips, subs, launch backing, provider shares). Locked 30 days, expire after a year. Then convert 1:1 to your own Coins (1 minimum, no fee, fresh 1-year expiry) or cash out in fiat (5,000 minimum - 100 Crowns = $1.00 payout value).
๐ป Ghost (track)
Measures org hours down to the second: (seconds / 3600) ร hourly rate. No monetary value, no redemption, ghost emoji only - never paired with cash.
