Top deposit reward

The largest active deposit holds the crown and earns a growing tithe pot, paid out when it leaves the pool.

The largest active deposit holds the crown, and the crown earns a tithe (a small slice taken from every acquisition fee before the equal split) that builds into a visible, growing reward pot. When the crowned deposit leaves the pool, that pot pays out to its depositor. The crown follows the largest active backing, and the rules are kept deliberately simple¹:

An empty crown is taken automatically by the next deposit, or claimed by any active position.
To take an occupied crown, a challenger must beat the current backing by a set margin (so it doesn't flip on a tiny overtake). The old holder's pot pays out to them.
Shrinking your own backing gives up the crown: you can't grab it with a large deposit, then quietly drop down to hold it on the cheap.
With no crown, the tithe just folds back into the equal split, so nothing is lost.

The crown is exclusive to the single largest deposit: only the holder earns the tithe.

Technical breakdownonchain

1.
Stored onchain as a single topListingId (0 = vacant) plus a running topListingPot. A challenger seizes it only when backing·BPS ≥ topBacking·(BPS + topThresholdBps), with topThresholdBps = 1000 (10%), automatically on deposit or value-raise, or explicitly via claimTopSpot. Lowering or withdrawing forfeits it and settles the pot. Tithe rate: topListingShareBps = 500 (5%).
