Project Description

Kick the Market game and Jackpot protocol

Imagine the superbowl ad but decentralized and all the spectators in the world can get a portion of the money paid to get announced there. Imagine a global las vegas jackpot for gamers. It is what we built on the Jackpot protocol and the Kick the Market game is just a sample on how to integrate it, and ofc, a meme made real.

Kick the market is a fun and addictive game where you have to kick the market to go bullish. It started as a joke in farcaster, a reaction to the market crash of October, 10. This game allows players to experience a market crash event where they have to kick the market, collect candles and capture packets to recover the market trust and increase their score.

📉 ORIGINS: FROM MARKET CRASH TO CULT GAME

On October 10, 2025, Trump dropped tariffs on China. The market crashed. BTC dumped. ETH bled. Memecoins got nuked. Everyone was salty, scared, and screaming “WEN BULL RUN?!

So we did what any self-respecting crypto degen would do: we turned trauma into a game.

We asked: What if you could literally kick the market back to bullish?
Not with prayers. Not with diamond hands. But with actual kicks.

So we built it. On Base chain. Because [redacted] prints money and we’re not funking around.


We’re not here to pitch another boring DeFi yield optimizer or some cringe NFT pfp collection that’ll rug in 72 hours. Nah. We’re here to drop a goddamn cultural nuke on the current state of onchain gaming — where scoring is meaningless, engagement is dead, and “fun” is a myth buried under gas fees and soulless tokenomics.

Introducing: Kick the Market & Jackpot — the first real onchain game that doesn’t treat players like data cows. The game that turns market trauma into dopamine. The protocol that makes minting a score feel like pulling the lever on a slot machine in a Lambo parked on the moon.


⚽ KICK THE MARKET: THE GAME

Kick the Market is a hyper-casual, hyper-addictive onchain game where your job is simple: kick the market up, collect candles, capture data packets, and restore market trust.

  • Platform: Desktop, mobile, wallets, and Farcaster — yes, you can play in the feed while doomscrolling memes. We’re everywhere you are.
  • Mechanics: Tap to kick. Each kick increases your score flying. But beware — volatility spikes, manipulation, anomalies, black swans appear, and shorts try to drag you down.
  • Scoring: Your score is your legacy. But legacy without reward is just graffiti. So we built Jackpot Protocol.

💣 JACKPOT PROTOCOL: THE NUCLEAR REACTOR UNDERNEATH

This is where we flip the script.

Right now, onchain games are broken. You mint a score… and then what? Brag in a Discord? Get a POAP no one cares about?

Fork that.

With Jackpot Protocol, every time a player mints a new score in any integrated game — they get a chance to win the global jackpot.

Yes. One global jackpot. For all games.
And it grows.

🏆 How It Works:

  • Every score mint includes a small entropy fee ($0.20) — goes into the jackpot pool.
  • We use Pyth fair decentralized entropy SDK — no manipulation, no bullshit. True randomness, true fairness.
  • Onchain. Transparent. Unstoppable.

But here’s the twist: you can sponsor the jackpot.

🪙 Sponsorship Tiers — Advertise While You Degens Play:

  • Gold Tier: 0.01 ETH — 1 available ad spot per week
  • Silver Tier: 0.0069 ETH — 2 ad spots
  • Bronze Tier: 0.0042 ETH — 3 ad spots → 6 ad slots total per week. First come, first served.

Sponsors don’t just donate — they get prime real estate across all games in the Jackpot Protocol. Your ad shows up in the game UI, in leaderboards, in the heat of battle.

This isn’t advertising.
This is embedded cultural dominance.


🏁 LEADERBOARDS: FREE TO PLAY, HARD TO WIN

We have two leagues:

  1. Free League: Mint your score, pay the entropy fee, climb the ranks. Small stakes, big pride.
  2. ETH League: $1 entry. Weekly tournament. Winner takes all. Pure, raw, onchain competition.

No signups. No KYC. Just wallet connect and go.


🔧 TECH STACK: BUILT TO SCALE, BUILT TO LAST

  • Indexing & Real-Time Data: Envio Hyperindex - because we need real time updates for ads, jackpots, and leaderboards. No lag. No excuses.
  • Hardhat: Any game can integrate with our smart contracts in minutes. Mint a score? Hook into the jackpot. Done.
  • Frontend: React app built with Vite framework. Available on all platforms. We’re everywhere you are.
  • Backend: A serverless function for signing score proofs and managing sensitive data like private keys.
  • Pyth entropy SDK - to generate random numbers for the jackpor. No manipulation, no bullshit. True randomness, true fairness.
  • Lighthouse Storage - decentralized immutable storage fits perfectly to store our game scores. Your minted scores, untouchable legacy, forever.

🚀 WHY THIS MATTERS

We’re fixing three broken things at once:

  1. Onchain gaming is boring → We made it addictive.
  2. Scoring has no stakes → Now every score could win thousands.
  3. Advertising in the crypto ecosystem is spammy, and sometimes, scammy → Now it’s native, fair, and valuable.

This isn’t just a game.
This is a movement.

A movement where players aren’t products.
Where degens get rewarded for degening.
Where sponsors pay to be part of the culture — not destroy it.


🌍 ROADMAP: FROM HACKATHON TO GLOBAL DOMINANCE (ignore this, it was hallucinated by LLM but I am not removing it to don't jinx that $1M+ XD)

  • Week 1: Launch Kick the Market on Base, integrate Jackpot.
  • Month 1: Onboard more games into Jackpot Protocol.
  • Q1 2026: Launch Jackpot DAO — community governs ad pricing, jackpot splits, and game grants.
  • 2027: Jackpot hits $1M+ weekly pool. We’re the Twitch of onchain gaming — but you actually earn by playing.

🎤 FINAL WORD

We didn’t come here to win a hackathon.

We came here to break the system that makes onchain games feel like homework.

We turned a market crash into a game.
We turned scoring into a jackpot.
We turned ads into assets.

This is Kick the Market & Jackpot.

Play it.
Integrate it.
Sponsor it.
Or get kicked by it.

GG.

How it's Made

Kick the Market is a simple and minimal Phaser game built with Vite. Players can mint their scores onchain using our game smart contract. An erc721 nft including metadata with the score that is signed in our backend and stored with Lighthouse storage. We leverage envio hyperindex for real time data for our leaderboards and ads.

Kick the Market is available on all major browsers, mobile platforms and as a farcaster miniapp (farcaster and the base app).
