How PLOT works
PLOT is a market around things people are trying to make happen: a book launch, a $100 night, a company, a battle, an agent. Someone starts it. Traders get in. Trading builds THE PAYOFF. Proof decides the ending.
In one sentence: someone is trying to make a thing happen, a market opens on it, and every trade thickens THE PAYOFF for the people who stay in the PLOT until the attempt ends: on the proof they published, or on the deadline they set. 80% of it goes to those people; 20% goes to the person who did the thing, and only if they did it. Proof closes the attempt. The PLOT and its token continue.
Signing in never spends or approves anything. Completing a Plot does not make its token worth more.
- 01Say itI'm going to do this, by this date, and here is what counts as done.
- 02Start itThe market opens immediately. Nothing waits for approval.
- 03Trade itEvery trade builds THE PAYOFF while the attempt runs.
- 04Do itThe creator works in public, against the clock.
- 05Prove itEvidence is published against the proof they wrote. Holders can object; moderators rule.
The loop
Somebody is trying to make a thing happen. A title in the first person, I'll turn this into that, I'll be there by then, a deadline, and the proof that will settle it, all written down before anyone can trade on it. That is START. You can also TAKE an OPEN PLOT somebody else already funded, TRADE one you will never perform, SPREAD one, or THICKEN a PAYOFF.
The market opens the moment they start it. Starting a PLOT launches its token and opens trading in the same action: no application, no review queue, no waiting for a human to approve it, and no fundraising target that has to fill before the attempt is allowed to begin. There is one clock: the attempt's deadline. There is no listing fee. The creator posts a STAKE when they start: it is returned when the Attempt completes and goes to THE PLOT POT when it fails. A PLOT can be started with no stake, and the page says so when one was.
Trading builds THE PAYOFF. Every trade pays 1.5%: one rate, the same on every PLOT, in both directions, from the first trade to the last, and it does not switch off or change once the attempt is underway. It divides five ways: 0.6% of the trade into that PLOT's PAYOFF, 0.3% to the creator, which accrues and does not unlock unless they deliver, 0.3% to the protocol, 0.15% to whoever referred the trade, and 0.15% set aside for market incentives, which goes to THE PLOT POT until an incentive programme exists. A trade with no referrer pays the same 1.5%; that share goes into the PAYOFF instead, so what you pay never depends on who sent you. The creator does not choose the rate and cannot change the split. A referral cannot be given to yourself, and it cannot be swapped between two wallets: but somebody running three or more of their own can route their referrer share back to themselves, and that 0.15% then comes out of the PAYOFF rather than going into it. Detecting longer rings on chain is not something a contract can do within its gas, so PLOT says so here instead of implying otherwise.
The longer you are in the PLOT, the more of its PAYOFF you earn. Your share is how much you held multiplied by how long you held it, accruing continuously from the second you buy. Selling stops that clock on what you sold; the weight you already earned stays yours. There is nothing to stake, nothing to lock and nothing to claim in the meantime.
Holders take 80% of THE PAYOFF; the creator takes 20%. That 20% is carved out on every ending and only its destination changes: it goes to the creator if the attempt is completed, and to THE PLOT POT if it is not. So a holder is paid exactly the same whether the attempt lands or fails. A failure never pays holders more, which is the one thing this design will not do.
A creator can hold their own PLOT, and it counts. Their wallets accrue time in it on exactly the same rule as everybody else's, so a creator who buys can be paid from the holders' 80% on top of the 20% their delivery gates. They pay the same 1.5% levy on the way in and the same on the way out, and they are one wallet among the rest in the denominator. What delivery decides is their stake and their 20%, never what their holding earns.
Proof settles it, not a popularity contest. Before the deadline the creator publishes the evidence they said they would: the link, the file, the page anyone can open - against the conditions the PLOT wrote down at the start. Nobody at PLOT reviews it by default. Publishing it opens a dispute window of 24 hours. A holder who held at least 0.5% of the PLOT for the 24 hours before the proof landed can object inside that window, and an objection is not a vote: it is one person stating that the evidence is false, in writing, and it pauses everything and hands the question to two of PLOT's moderators, who can also dispute a proof for cause themselves. If nobody objects, the Attempt completes and the money moves when the window closes. If nobody held enough for long enough to be able to object, silence does not count: the proof waits on a moderator ruling instead. A dispute that nobody rules on within 14 days closes as not delivered without a finding against the creator: the holders are paid, the creator's stake is returned, and their accrued share goes to THE PLOT POT. On the creator's record that is NO RULING: a third class beside delivered and didn't deliver, because nobody decided anything. A proof review that nobody rules on within 14 days becomes such a dispute, so nothing waits for ever. Proof cannot be submitted after the deadline; an Attempt that reaches its deadline without proof has failed. If PLOT's operators pause a market, the pause halts sells as well as buys until it is lifted.
Four outcomes, and the creator's money is gated on them. An Attempt a visitor can see is LIVE, COMPLETED, FAILED or DISPUTED. The PLOT and its token continue. Completed returns the creator's stake, releases their accrued share, and pays THE PAYOFF out by time-in-PLOT weight. Failed pays THE PAYOFF out to holders in exactly the same way, nobody is paid more for a PLOT failing, and the creator's stake and accrued share go to THE PLOT POT, not to the creator and not to the holders. Disputed means a human is reading it. Failure is meant to cost the creator something, and it is on their permanent public record either way.
On this host the money lives on Robinhood Chain. Starting a PLOT is a transaction your own wallet signs, once PLOT's keeper has cleared your wallet to use the id. The page says “authorising… (a few seconds)” while that happens, then your wallet signs start with your stake attached, then “opening market…” until the market is live. Proof is filed the same way: the evidence is stored where everyone can read it and its fingerprint goes on chain from your wallet. An objection here is filed first. A dispute operator must confirm it on chain before the window closes, and if that does not happen the PLOT completes; the operator's signature confirms the objector's standing, not the merit, which two humans still rule on. Endings are sent by PLOT’s keeper, and if it is ever late, anyone, you included, can send the same ending from the PLOT page. After an attempt ends its PAYOFF is SETTLING until every wallet owed has been paid. The keeper pays each one itself, and an unpaid share shows a CLAIM button on the PLOT page and on YOU, and it stays claimable there. A submitted transaction is never treated as done: every page updates from the chain's own record, and PLOT holds no key that can move your money.
Where the money goes
THE PAYOFF is one pot per PLOT, built by 0.6% of every trade, the referrer's share when nobody referred the trade, and anything people THICKEN it with. It is emptied in full when the attempt ends, completed or failed, 80% of it to whoever held the token, weighted by how much and for how long, and 20% to the creator or, if they did not complete it, to THE PLOT POT. Every payout names the wallet it went to. Same PLOT. Same token.
THE PLOT POT is protocol money that can only ever go into a live PLOT's PAYOFF. It is filled by forfeited stakes and accrued shares, by the market-incentive slice of the levy, and by a bounded share of PLOT's own 0.3%, never by a new fee. It is shown on the site only when it holds something it could spend.
PLOT keeps 0.3% of every trade. That is the whole of what PLOT takes. There is no listing fee, no withdrawal fee, and no fee that depends on the outcome.
Thickening a PAYOFF
Anyone can THICKEN a PLOT. Trading is one way money reaches a PAYOFF and it buys you a position. You are in the story, and you are exposed to it. Thickening is the other way: you put ETH straight into a live attempt's PAYOFF without buying its token at all. You take no position, you cannot sell it back, and it goes to whoever is in the PLOT when it settles.
In ETH, and only ETH. A PAYOFF holds the native asset of the chain this runs on. Stock tokens, stablecoins and other crypto in a PAYOFF are not built: there is no route that puts one in and no contract function that would hold it. When that ships this page will say so.
No name goes on it. A thicken is not credited to the wallet that made it. The contract event that records one carries the PLOT and the amount and nothing else, so there is nothing here to put a name to, and PLOT shows no list of who filled a PAYOFF. The transaction is public like any other and the wallet that sent it is on the chain's own record, but this site will not tell anyone it was you. A trader who wants the pot bigger, a rival making a point and THE PLOT POT all use the same route and all arrive the same way: as money, with nobody's name on it.
Only while the attempt is happening. A PAYOFF can be thickened while its PLOT is live and at no other time, adding to one that has already resolved would be adding to a pot whose distribution is already decided. Every thicken lands on the attempt's timeline as a PLOT TWIST.
What is real
PLOT is live. PLOTs, proof, and publication are real.
A PLOT is a public attempt with a written test, a deadline, and a record. If you start one, you do that work in the world. If you trade one, you hold its token and you can object to the proof if you were holding when it landed. Anything published here (attempts, updates, evidence, outcomes) stays public.
Signing in proves you control a wallet. You sign a short message. Nothing is spent or approved. PLOT never takes funds out of that wallet.
Trades and bounties settle on chain. That is real money and it can be lost. Completing a Plot does not make its token worth more.
Starting a PLOT costs you. There is no listing fee and no funding target to hit, but the stake you post is real and it goes to THE PLOT POT if you do not deliver. The work is not free either: a written test and a fixed date, in public, with your name on the result. Time, effort, and anything you spend pulling it off are yours, and so is the failure if it does not land. Read your own proof condition before you start it. It is the thing you will be held to, exactly as written.

Anyone with a wallet can start a PLOT here. Nothing on this host is reviewed before it goes live: the market opens with the PLOT, and moderation is what happens afterwards, on report. Titles, progress updates, proof links and objections are written by the people involved, not by PLOT. If something on this site is yours, is unlawful, or is aimed at you, use Report with the page and what is wrong with it. A moderator reads every report and can take a PLOT down.
PLOT does not run advertising, third-party tracking, or any analytics in your browser. The server keeps aggregate page tallies: a number per page, to judge whether this launch works, never who viewed it. What PLOT stores about a visitor who signs in is the wallet address they signed in with, an account row holding a handle PLOT generates for them (never derived from the address), the session behind their sign-in cookie, and whatever they choose to publish. No passwords exist on PLOT at all.
What PLOT is not claiming
We have not had our contracts audited and we make no claim that they are secure.
Completing a Plot does not make its token worth more. Tokens can lose their entire value. PLOT never promises otherwise.
Nothing on this site is investment advice or a recommendation to buy anything. A PLOT's price is what people will pay to be in that story while it happens. It is not a probability, it is not a forecast of whether the thing gets done, and PLOT is not a prediction market.
The dispute window raises the cost of pushing false evidence through: an objection comes from somebody who actually held the token, and it costs a moderator's attention rather than a majority. It does not make a bad proof impossible to land, and PLOT does not claim it does. Objections are free to file today; a bonded objection open to anyone is planned, and this page will say so when it ships.
