How to WinCosmic Signature

Master the mechanics of this sophisticated blockchain auction game. Strategic timing and understanding the prize structure are keys to success.

The Basics

A simple concept with sophisticated depth

Be Last Bidder

Place a bid to become the last bidder. If you remain the last bidder when the countdown timer reaches zero, you win the main prize.

Timer Extends

Each bid extends the countdown timer by approximately 1 hour (grows slightly each round). This creates dynamic competition.

Multiple Prizes

Even if you don't win the main prize, you can win as Endurance Champion, Chrono-Warrior, or through random raffles.

Bidding Mechanics

Understanding price dynamics and bid types

Championship Paths

Multiple ways to achieve victory

Endurance Champion

The player who held the "last bidder" position for the longest single continuous duration during the round.

How It Works:

  • •Timer starts when you become last bidder
  • •Stops when someone outbids you
  • •Only your longest single period counts
  • •Bidding multiple times in a row doesn't add durations

Prize:

  • • 10x CST per bid in round
  • • 1 Cosmic Signature NFT

Chrono-Warrior

The player who held the "Endurance Champion" title for the longest continuous duration during the round. Champion of champions.

How It Works:

  • •You must first become Endurance Champion
  • •Timer tracks how long you hold that title
  • •If someone overtakes you, your duration is recorded
  • •Longest duration wins (very hard to achieve)

Prize:

  • • --% of prize pool in ETH
  • • Transferred to Prizes Wallet (withdraw later)

Pro Strategies

Tips from experienced players

Timing is Everything

  • Dutch auctions reward patience - prices decrease over time
  • But waiting too long means others might outbid you
  • Monitor the auction progress bar closely
  • Consider gas fees when deciding bid timing

CST Token Strategy

  • Every bid earns you 100 CST tokens
  • Wait for CST price to drop below 100 for profitable bids
  • Use slippage protection to avoid overpaying
  • CST bids are burned, so manage your token balance

Random Walk NFTs

  • Only use on high-value bids (50% savings)
  • Each NFT is permanently consumed when used
  • Cannot be used for staking after bidding
  • Plan carefully - this decision is irreversible

Multiple Prize Paths

  • Don't just chase main prize - other prizes are valuable
  • Endurance Champion requires holding position longest
  • Raffle prizes are random - every bid increases odds
  • Stake NFTs for passive income between rounds
