The wheel from Saturn orbit
A resupply launched from Earth today arrives in seven years. What the wheel drops is whatever the orbital depot already had. Twenty-two segments, every one of them a real prize.
22 segments, posted
Published before the wheel ever turns, and identical in-game. Every segment pays something — there is no empty slice.

How a spin is decided
Each turn the shard draws a secret seed and publishes its SHA-256 before anyone spins. A spin's segment is HMAC(seed, wallet · spin index) mod 100. When the turn ends the seed is revealed. The server cannot pick a prize after seeing your payment, and you can recompute every spin of a finished turn.
awaiting the first live turn — the SHA-256 is published here before anyone spins, and the seed itself is revealed when the turn ends- 01The shard draws a secret seed for the turn.
- 02Its SHA-256 is published here, before the first spin.
- 03Your segment = HMAC(seed, wallet · spin index) mod 100.
- 04When the turn closes, the seed is revealed.
- 05Anyone can recompute every spin of that turn.
The wheel turns for the first time when $TGARD launches in phase 2. Free spins come with it.
A paid spin is a plain $TGARD transfer to the treasury address, verified by transaction hash, sent from the wallet you signed in with, from the pod panel in the game. A transfer made any other way cannot be matched to a colonist. Prizes are in-game items with no cash value.
Prizes are denominated in joules and in-game items. Neither has cash value, and neither can be withdrawn.
