How the Patch works
The Patch is a field of pumpkins that ripen every hour for four days. Hold the token and your wallet finds pumpkins as they ripen. Hold 24 hours, the pumpkin is yours. Claim whenever you like; patience burns less.
There are 1,200 pumpkins in all. The field has 1,000: 333 on day 1, 300 on day 2, 217 on day 3 and 150 on day 4. The other 200 go to the Gravelist winners and have a Harvest of their own, so they never change the field's days.
The field is open from Nov 2, 2026, 19:00 UTC to Nov 6, 2026, 19:00 UTC: four days of 24 hours, each starting at 19:00 UTC.
The minimum balance
Your wallet is in the field for an hour when it holds at least 100,000 tokens through that whole hour.
What counts is the lowest balance the wallet held during the hour, so tokens moved in for a few minutes do not help.
Hold 24 hours, the pumpkin is yours
Every pumpkin you find starts out Growing. Exactly 24 hours after it was found it becomes Locked. A locked pumpkin is yours: nothing you do after that changes it, selling included.
Selling withers
While a pumpkin is still growing, selling shrinks it in proportion to what you sold. Sell 5% of your tokens and every pumpkin still growing loses 5%. That part is Withered and does not come back. Locked pumpkins are never touched.
Selling also sets back your progress toward the next pumpkin, in the same proportion.
Sending out a little does not count as selling: moving up to 2% of your balance, as a gift or a test transfer, leaves your pumpkins whole. Burning tokens in the Bonfire never counts as selling either; burned tokens keep counting toward your balance in the field.
When pumpkins open
Each day's pumpkins open together when that day's seal breaks: at 19:00 UTC, once the last pumpkin of that day has locked. Opened pumpkins show what they hold.
Claims
You claim your tokens yourself, from the Harvest contract, in your own transaction. The team never sends tokens and never asks you to send anything first.
The Claim page shows, for each of your days, what a claim pays and burns right now, and sends the claim from your wallet.
A Gravelist pumpkin is claimed from the Gravelist Harvest in four parts, one for each of its days, all open from the same moment: one approval in a wallet that can batch calls, four transactions in a row in one that cannot.
| Day | Pumpkins found | Pumpkins open | Claim opens | Burn reaches zero | Claim closes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nov 2, 19:00 UTC to Nov 3, 19:00 UTC | Nov 4, 19:00 UTC | Nov 5, 19:00 UTC | Nov 10, 19:00 UTC | Dec 5, 19:00 UTC |
| 2 | Nov 3, 19:00 UTC to Nov 4, 19:00 UTC | Nov 5, 19:00 UTC | Nov 6, 19:00 UTC | Nov 11, 19:00 UTC | Dec 6, 19:00 UTC |
| 3 | Nov 4, 19:00 UTC to Nov 5, 19:00 UTC | Nov 6, 19:00 UTC | Nov 7, 19:00 UTC | Nov 12, 19:00 UTC | Dec 7, 19:00 UTC |
| 4 | Nov 5, 19:00 UTC to Nov 6, 19:00 UTC | Nov 7, 19:00 UTC | Nov 8, 19:00 UTC | Nov 13, 19:00 UTC | Dec 8, 19:00 UTC |
| Gravelist | Oct 31, 17:00 UTC to Nov 5, 18:00 UTC | Nov 6, 19:00 UTC | Nov 7, 19:00 UTC | Nov 12, 19:00 UTC | Dec 7, 19:00 UTC |
These are the planned times. Harvest opens each day's claim on chain exactly 6 hours after the team's Safe writes that day's final list, planned for 13:00 UTC the day after its seal breaks. If a list goes in later, that day's claim, burn and closing move with it, and the new time is announced here. The Gravelist winners go into the Gravelist Harvest with day 3’s list, and their pumpkins open with day 3’s seal.
The early-claim burn
Claiming the moment a day opens burns half of that claim. The burn shrinks every hour and is gone five days after opening. It happens in the same transaction as the claim. When to claim is up to you.
| You claim | Burned |
|---|---|
| The moment it opens | Half |
| 1 day later | 40% |
| 2 days later | 30% |
| 3 days later | 20% |
| 4 days later | 10% |
| 5 days later | Nothing |
Each day's claim stays open for 30 days. After that, anyone can trigger a Flush that burns what is left of that day. Nothing goes back to the team.
The opening buy and Harvest
The team's opening buy goes to the Harvest contract, not to the team, and it is the whole pool. Harvest can release it only through your claims and the burn.
The buy is split between two Harvests from the same verified code: five sixths to the field's Harvest and one sixth, for the 200 Gravelist pumpkins, to the Gravelist Harvest.
Harvest's verified code says 1,000 / 900 / 650 / 450 pumpkins, 3,000 in all. Harvest never counts pumpkins: those numbers only split a pool across its four days, and the field's days follow the same split. The Gravelist Harvest has every winner in each of its four days.
If Harvest's independent review is not finished at launch, the pool waits in the team's Safe until it is. If that moves a claim, the new time will be announced here.

Outside the field
These addresses never find pumpkins: the team's wallets, the Safe, the launch wallet, our contracts and the pools.

The Gravedigger's Seals
Every pumpkin in the patch is sealed by the Gravedigger. One seal breaks each day.
Four hashes, one for each day, published at launch. Each seal is fixed before the field opens. When it breaks, the value behind it is published, and anyone can check that it matches the hash below.
Published at launch.
At launch the team's Safe also commits these four hashes, together with the hash of the verification script, to the Memorial contract. That can happen only once. When a seal breaks, anyone can hand Memorial the day's seed, and Memorial accepts it only if it matches.
