Learn the 0-day loop
0DTE is an experimental elastic memecoin game. Bond into a 24-hour epoch, pick a path, settle against TWAP, then claim or compound the outcome.
Start here
How an epoch works
Get ready
Acquire 0DTE, connect a wallet, and check the current epoch state before bonding.
Pick a path
Choose a directional or range outcome: Moon, Nuke, Gamma, or Crab.
Bond before cutoff
Commit 0DTE before the entry window closes. You can split exposure across paths.
Wait for settlement
The epoch closes, TWAP return is calculated, and winning paths are determined.
Claim or compound
Withdraw claimable 0DTE, roll into the next epoch, or sit out.
Core mechanics
What the protocol does
Epochs
0DTE runs in 24-hour epochs. Each epoch records an opening TWAP, closes entry before settlement, then compares the closing TWAP against every path.
Winners
Winning paths keep their bonded amount and share the loser slash pool by path weight. Positive epochs can also mint capped expansion to winners.
Contractions
Losing paths are slashed according to path risk. Slashed supply is allocated to winners, burn, treasury, and coupon reserves.
LP Staking
The initial protocol path keeps V2-style LP staking available for expansion-funded rewards while V3 is used for oracle pricing.
Paths
Moon, Nuke, Gamma, and Crab
| Path | Win condition | Risk | Slash | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moon +10 | Wins if 0DTE closes at least +10% above the epoch open. | Low | 50% | 1.0x |
| Moon +25 | Wins if 0DTE closes at least +25% above the epoch open. | Medium | 70% | 1.5x |
| Moon +50 | Wins if 0DTE closes at least +50% above the epoch open. | High | 85% | 2.5x |
| Moon +100 | Wins if 0DTE closes at least +100% above the epoch open. | Max | 100% | 5.0x |
| Nuke -10 | Wins if 0DTE closes at least -10% below the epoch open. | Low | 50% | 1.0x |
| Nuke -25 | Wins if 0DTE closes at least -25% below the epoch open. | Medium | 70% | 1.5x |
| Nuke -50 | Wins if 0DTE closes at least -50% below the epoch open. | High | 85% | 2.5x |
| Nuke -75 | Wins if 0DTE closes at least -75% below the epoch open. | Max | 100% | 5.0x |
| Gamma +/-25 | Wins if 0DTE moves at least 25% in either direction. | Medium | 70% | 1.5x |
| Gamma +/-50 | Wins if 0DTE moves at least 50% in either direction. | High | 85% | 2.5x |
| Gamma +/-100 | Wins if 0DTE moves at least 100% in either direction. | Max | 100% | 5.0x |
| Crab +/-5 | Wins if 0DTE stays within +/-5% of the epoch open. | High | 85% | 3.0x |
| Crab +/-10 | Wins if 0DTE stays within +/-10% of the epoch open. | Medium | 70% | 2.0x |
| Crab +/-20 | Wins if 0DTE stays within +/-20% of the epoch open. | Low | 50% | 1.0x |
Loops
Coupons, LP, and compounding
Coupon loop
When contraction opens a coupon sale, users can burn 0DTE for discounted future expansion claims. Coupons redeem only when reserves are funded and expire after the configured epoch window.
LP loop
Liquidity providers can stake eligible LP tokens to earn protocol reward flow. Rewards may be funded by expansion allocations.
Swap / Bridge
Swap or bridge EVM assets through Relay without leaving the app.
Compounding
Claimed outcomes can be rolled into the next epoch, creating the core buy, bond, settle, claim, repeat loop.
