takeover turns trading fees into a pvp game on base
100 tiles per coin, each tile a 1% cut of that coin's trading fees in eth. own a tile, earn from every trade, until someone buys you out. it runs on harberger taxation, so tiles never stop circulating
analysis by @sunwoohajin
here's how the mechanism works 👇
2/ the harberger mechanism
@flaunchgg pays creator fees in eth and tokenizes revenue as nfts. takeover builds on that to make a pvp market for the fees
every coin launched gets a 100-tile grid. each tile is a 1% claim on all trading fees paid in eth. hold a tile and you earn from every trade, until you get bought out
3/ harberger tax
tiles use harberger taxation to force circulation. owners set a public price, and anyone can buy instantly at that price, no negotiation
set it high and carrying costs drain you. set it low and you get sniped
4/ tax structure
holders post a usdc deposit and pay a 5% weekly tax on their listed price. those taxes fund $TAKEOVER buybacks through the boardroom. keep the deposit funded, run out and you forfeit the tile to the open market
5/ the strategic layer
pricing is the whole game. each tile has a fundamental value tied to its parent coin's fee generation
at 5% weekly tax, a tile earning $10/week sits around a $200 equilibrium price, where tax equals income. too high and carry drains your deposit, too low and someone takes it
6/
that equilibrium moves with volume. dying coins get expensive to hold, runners spark bidding wars. profit comes down to reading volume and adjusting your price or exiting in time
7/ how to try it
start by buying into an existing grid before launching your own coin. the $FLNCHY grid (flaunch's mascot) routes 80% of trading fees to tile holders, which makes it a clean entry point
8/
browse: find a listed tile on the 100-tile grid. the $FLNCHY floor was around 68 usdc at time of writing, it moves
buy: set your listing price and deposit duration. total cost = buyout price + initial tax deposit. confirm
monitor: earn 1% of fees in real-time eth. adjust your price defensively as volume shifts so you don't get sniped
9/ zooming out
takeover is one of the first live tests of harberger taxation on an asset with calculable yield, where mispricing has immediate consequences
ai agents are expected to join soon, turning this into a bigger battlefield for automated strategies
@MelonPodcasts@M4rcusHale@jayendra_jog@SeiNetwork such a rare thing, hearing someone whose thinking got reshaped by living through the exact system he now builds outside of, following @jayendra_jog arc from the gamestop suspension to Sei is gonna be a good one
selling crypto to cover expenses hurts. you trigger taxes and lose your exposure in one move
defi borrowing fixes both. instead of selling your eth, lock it as collateral, borrow usdc onchain, spend like cash, stay long. not a taxable event in the us
and now you can do it straight from the coinbase app
analysis by @SunwooHajin
this is an integration i'd hand to my own family. @coinbase is one of the most trusted and easy exchanges to navigate, and @Morpho is one of the most proven lending protocols in defi. put them together and you borrow against your eth without leaving the coinbase app
assuming you already hold eth on coinbase, here's the flow:
1. tap your eth balance to open your ethereum dashboard
2. scroll to the "borrow" tab and hit "start"
3. read the primer: your borrow up to amount (set by your eth on coinbase), the variable rate (interest morpho charges), and the liquidation ltv (the loan to value point where your eth gets liquidated to repay). then "continue"
4. enter how much usdc you want, tap "review loan"
5. check the details, hit "borrow now," then "accept and continue." it can take a minute or two to finalize in the coinbase ui
that's it
to manage it later: open the "cash" tab, find "borrow," tap "manage loans." the "repay" option lives there to pay your usdc back over time
these eth backed loans run on a flexible term. no fixed amounts, no set schedule. repay whenever, in whatever size suits you. just watch your loan health so you don't get liquidated
one note: usdc you borrow on coinbase can't buy crypto on coinbase. this lane is for cashing out and spending
as far as defi onramps go, this is about as simple and safe as it gets. if you or someone you know hasn't borrowed against eth yet, start here

🚨SHOCKING: POLYMARKET PAID CREATORS TO STAGE $1.9 MILLION IN FAKE BETS
A WSJ investigation reviewed 1,105 videos posted by Polymarket creators and found that NONE of the bets were real.
Creators were filming trades on FAKE copies of the Polymarket website and getting paid $2,000 to $3,000 a month to post them.
The same bets they showed as wins would have actually LOST over $166,000.
Polymarket says it will now audit its promotional content.
