Gesture. Endure. Shape the Signature.
Participants make gestures during a Performance Cycle. When the Cycle Finalization Time expires, the cycle closes and allocations distribute across more than ten tracks \u2014 including the Signature Allocation, Anchor Distributions, and Protocol Guild.
How It Works
Three steps to participate and shape the Cycle Reserve
Gesture
Make a gesture with ETH or CST. Each gesture extends the Cycle Finalization Time and shapes the evolving Signature.
Endure
The cycle runs until the Cycle Finalization Time expires. Each new gesture adds roughly one hour to the clock.
Receive
Participate in allocations when the cycle finalizes — Signature Allocation, Stellar Selections, Anchor Distributions, and more.
What Every Gesture Imprints
Participation imprints multiple allocation tracks per cycle.
100 Participation CST
Every gesture imprints 100 Cosmic Signature Tokens directly to your wallet.
Stellar Selection Entry
Each gesture records an entry in Stellar Selection for end-of-cycle allocations.
Cosmic Signature NFT Chance
Up to ten participants receive a unique Cosmic Signature NFT via Stellar Selection each cycle.
Signature Allocation
The participant who made the Final Gesture may retrieve 25% of the Cycle Reserve in ETH.
Lifecycle of a Performance Cycle
Every cycle follows this sequence from open to finalization.
Cycle Opens
A new Performance Cycle begins. The Calibration Window opens: Gesture Cost descends from the Calibration Ceiling to the Calibration Floor over ~2 days.
Participants Gesture
Each gesture adds ~1 hour to the Cycle Finalization Time and raises the Gesture Cost by ~1%.
Cycle Finalization Time Expires
When the countdown reaches zero, the cycle closes.
Cycle Finalizes
The participant who made the Final Gesture retrieves the Signature Allocation: 25% of the Cycle Reserve plus a Cosmic Signature NFT.
Stellar Selections
Three ETH Stellar Selection recipients share 4% of the Cycle Reserve. Ten NFT Stellar Selection recipients plus up to ten Anchored-NFT Stellar Selection recipients receive Cosmic Signature NFTs.
Next Cycle
About half of the Cycle Reserve rolls forward as the Compounding Reserve, and the Gesture Cost resets ~100x lower than the Final Gesture cost.
Getting Started
From wallet connection to your first gesture in three steps.
Connect Your Wallet
- Click the "Connect Wallet" button at the top of the page.
- Use a wallet that supports the Arbitrum blockchain, such as MetaMask.
- Switch your network to Arbitrum when prompted, then approve permissions.
- Your wallet address will appear in the header once connected.
Check the Gesture Cost
- Review the Cycle Finalization Time — every gesture adds ~1 hour to the clock.
- Check the current Gesture Cost in ETH or CST before committing.
- Note the Signature Allocation amount to see the potential ETH distribution.
- Ensure your wallet holds the Gesture Cost plus a small amount for gas fees.
Make Your Gesture
- Choose your gesture method: ETH, CST, or attach a Random Walk NFT for a 50% ETH cost reduction.
- Click "Gesture Now" and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
- Your gesture extends the Cycle Finalization Time by ~1 hour and raises the Gesture Cost by ~1%.
- Every gesture imprints 100 CST and records a Stellar Selection entry automatically.
Pro Tips & Strategy
Practical guidance for maximizing participation across allocation tracks.
Gesture Early, Gesture Cheap
Gesture Cost starts low after each cycle reset — roughly 100x lower than the previous Final Gesture cost.
Attach a Random Walk NFT
Holding a Random Walk NFT grants a one-time 50% cost reduction on your ETH gesture.
Stack Stellar Selection Entries
Each gesture records one Stellar Selection entry. More gestures means higher Selection frequency.
Use a Burner Wallet
The smart contract is formally verified, but using a dedicated wallet for participation adds an extra layer of safety.
Watch the Finalization Time
The Cycle Finalization Time gains ~1 hour per gesture. Strategic timing near the end of a cycle can be decisive.
Gesture with CST
Already imprinted CST from previous gestures? Use it as an alternative currency to conserve ETH.
