Opening, returns & redemption
Protection follows the original purchase, not the resale price.
While sealed
The 70% original-payment reserve does not expire while a pack stays sealed. The current owner requests opening before choosing a whole-pull return. Opening freezes transfer while the backend supplies the committed manifest.
For example, a 100-unit pack has a 70-unit return even if it later sells for 250. A secondary buyer acquires that existing right, not 70% of their own purchase price.
After successful reveal
The five-minute decision clock starts when the reveal transaction succeeds, not when opening is requested. Keep accepts all five cards and ends cash protection. Return surrenders the whole pull for the reserved amount. Individual-card cherry-picking during protection is not allowed.
After the deadline, the default is Keep. Permissionless settlement releases only the expired pull’s reserve. Opening and keeping do not redeem the tokens.
Redeeming kept cards
Once kept, a card can be transferred, claim quote earnings repeatedly, or be redeemed. Claiming preserves backing and earning weight. Redemption burns the NFT, transfers its original token backing and unclaimed quote, and ends its earning position. A graduated token must finalize aggregate accounting before claims or normal redemption; protected returns remain available during the wait.
Shutdown uses a longer decision period. Read Shutdown before relying on the ordinary five-minute timer.
