THE MANIFESTO
Whitepaper & Tokenomics
I. Overview
BigBounty is a fusion of Polymarket and Pump.fun. We bring the degenerate, high-speed bonding curve mechanics of memecoin launchpads to the world of binary polling markets.
The "Dual Curve" Innovation
Traditional polling markets (like Polymarket) use a single Automated Market Maker (AMM) curve where YES + NO prices always equal $1. This is boring and requires massive Liquidity Providers (LPs) to function.
BigBounty changes the game. We use two completely isolated linear bonding curves for each market.
β’ Zero Initial Liquidity: Anyone can create a market instantly.
β’ Pure Degen FOMO: Early pollers get exponentially cheaper tickets. If everyone buys YES, the price of YES skyrockets, but the price of NO remains at the absolute floor (0.001 ETH).
β’ Early Bird Advantage: Winnings are distributed strictly by the number of tickets you hold, not by how much ETH you spent! Buying 10 tickets early for 0.01 ETH yields the exact same payout as someone who buys 10 tickets late for 1.0 ETH.
β’ No Retreat: To maximize conviction, there is no "sell" or "refund" function before the market resolves. You poll, you hold, you sink or swim with the crew.
II. $BIGB Tokenomics & Proof of Polling
The $BIGB token is the ultimate treasure. It has a strict, immutable maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens minted at genesis. No inflation, no hidden mints. Rather than selling it all to VCs, we distribute it dynamically to the users who provide value to the ecosystem.
10% β Bonding Curve
100,000,000 BIGB sold directly to early supporters via a linear bonding curve. Extreme scarcity at launch creates massive price discovery potential.
50% β Proof of Polling (Mining)
500,000,000 BIGB reserved for the Truth Network. Earned exclusively by users who predict facts correctly. Subject to a 4-year halving schedule.
15% β Airdrop & Growth
150,000,000 BIGB reserved for early community airdrops (including Testnet winners), marketing quests, and platform liquidity incentives.
15% β Graduation Reserve
150,000,000 BIGB strictly locked until the Bonding Curve graduates, at which point it is paired with the accumulated ETH and sent to Uniswap.
10% β Team & Devs
100,000,000 BIGB allocated to the core crew. 100% locked at TGE, followed by a strict 12-month cliff and 24-month linear vesting schedule.
Dual-Track Gamification
Every action you take in BigBounty earns you XP (Experience Points), increasing your Rank. Your Rank isn't just for showβit directly multiplies the amount of $BIGB you earn! We track two separate career paths:
1. Creator Track
- Earn: +500 XP per Market Created
- Swabber (0 XP): 5% Base Payout
- Deckhand (500 XP): 6% Payout
- Mate (2.5k XP): 7% Payout
- Quartermaster (10k XP): 9% Payout
- Captain (35k XP): 11% Payout
- Warlord (100k XP): 13% Payout
- Yonko (250k+ XP): 15% Max Payout
If a creator is low rank, the un-awarded bonus percentage is never minted, making $BIGB deflationary!
2. Bettor Track
- Earn: +10 XP (Bet), +50 XP (Claim), +500 XP (Win)
- Swabber (0 XP): No Bonus
- Deckhand (500 XP): +10% $BIGB Bonus
- Mate (2.5k XP): +20% $BIGB Bonus
- Quartermaster (10k XP): +35% $BIGB Bonus
- Captain (35k XP): +50% $BIGB Bonus
- Warlord (100k XP): +75% $BIGB Bonus
- Yonko (250k+ XP): +100% (Double $BIGB!)
Bonus is automatically minted and airdropped into your wallet when you claim your winning ETH!
III. Anti-Hostage Security (100% Safe)
In the world of DeFi, technical issues or lazy Oracles shouldn't hold your funds hostage. BigBounty features an automated 3-Layer Safety Net.
If UMA Oracle fails to return a result within 14 days, anyone can call the emergencyResolve() fallback.
If a market is hopelessly stuck in AWAITING_RESOLUTION, the Factory can initiate an emergency cancel().
If the market deadline passes without a resolution request, anyone can trigger a permissionless expiredCancel().
If a market is cancelled, Bettors receive exactly 100% of their ETH back. Zero Fees. Zero Hostages.
IV. Fee Structure
To sustain the ecosystem and reward the bold, we employ the Flat 5 structure. Every poll incurs a 5% fee divided equally:
β’ 1% Platform Fee: Sent to the founder/platform development wallet.
β’ 1% Treasury (DAO): Sent to the protocol treasury to pay dividends/yields to $BIGB stakers.
β’ 1% Creator: Paid to the user who deployed the market.
β’ 1% Asserter: Paid to the oracle/bounty hunter who resolves the market.
β’ 1% Auto-Buy & BURN π₯: Automatically buys $BIGB and burns it to create extreme deflation.
The Burn Halving
To prevent the token from running out completely, the 1% Burn Fee follows a Halving Schedule mirroring the Proof of Polling emissions:
β’ Epoch 1 (Months 1-6): 1.00% is Burned.
β’ Epoch 2 (Months 7-12): 0.50% is Burned. (The remaining 0.50% routes to the Treasury DAO).
β’ Epoch 3 (Months 13-18): 0.25% is Burned. (0.75% routes to the Treasury DAO).
β’ Epoch 4+: 0.00% is Burned. (The full 1% routes to the Treasury, maximizing Yields for Stakers).
V. Decentralized Resolution (The Oracle)
BigBounty operates entirely without centralized admins or AI reliance. Market resolution is fully delegated to the community and secured by UMA's Optimistic Oracle (OO).
The Asserter (Bounty Hunter)
When a market expires, it awaits resolution. Any user can become an Asserter by proposing the correct outcome (YES or NO) and locking a collateral bond (USDC/WETH). In exchange for this service, the Asserter earns a massive 1% to 1.5% commission taken directly from the total betting volume.
The Disputer
After an assertion is made, a 2-hour dispute window opens. If a user believes the Asserter is lying, they can lock an equal collateral bond to trigger a Dispute. This halts the payout and escalates the market to the UMA Supreme Court.
UMA DVM (Data Verification Mechanism)
If a dispute occurs, the resolution is handed over to the UMA DVM. Thousands of UMA token holders globally will vote on the correct outcome. The DVM uses economic incentives to mathematically guarantee that the majority votes truthfully.
The Penalty: The party who lied (Asserter or Disputer) loses their entire bond, which is awarded to the honest party.
VI. End-to-End Architecture
The BigBounty lifecycle is entirely decentralized. From market creation to the final oracle payout, no central server controls the funds. Here is the technical flow of how the Oracle and Asserter ecosystem functions:
