Why Buyback Cycle 2 Looks Different
Cycle 1 taught us something, and most of it came from the community: requirements were too demanding, and the window to qualify felt too narrow.
Unich Network listened.
Cycle 2 changes two things: the pool, and selection.
The pool is no longer fixed. Cycle 1 ran on a set amount decided in advance. Cycle 2 removes that ceiling, the pool now scales directly with Unich's revenue. No artificial limit, only real network performance.
Selection is now daily, and timing matters. Instead of one round, Cycle 2 runs random selection every day, Monday through Friday. Qualify early, and you enter more days of selection, a higher cumulative chance of being picked. But nobody is locked out. Busy on Monday? Complete requirements Wednesday or Friday and you still enter the pool for every day going forward, right up to the final day.
Early action gets more chances. Late action still gets real chances.
Requirements are lighter too: hold 50 $FC, invite 5 new Node Owners, like and share the post. Lower bar, more Node Owners with a real path to selection.
Cycle 2 doesn't ask for less effort. It gives that effort more ways to count.
One speed was never enough.
TrendBTC now runs three BTC markets in parallel: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and 1 hour. Live right now, side by side, all paying $TREND.
5m — pure reflex. The round is over before your coffee cools.
15m — the classic. Where 150K predictors made their name.
1h — for those who read the trend, not the candle.
Same engine everywhere: call it early, call it against the crowd, and the round weights you for it.
Three charts. Three timers. One balance — stacking $TREND toward your next Trend Box.
And we're just getting started. The update pipeline is longer than the roadmap you've seen — way more coming.

The cloud gaming market is estimated at $2.27B today.
Projected to cross $21B by 2030. 44% CAGR.
Most of that infrastructure will still be centralized. Expensive. Region-locked. Controlled by a handful of providers.
YOM is building the alternative a decentralized compute layer owned and operated by its community.
The market is massive. The approach is different. 👇
Traditional mining spends energy to secure consensus.
YOM uses compute to render real games for real players.
One protects a ledger.
The other delivers a product people can use instantly.
DePIN is not a new version of mining. It is a different model entirely.
Somewhere right now, someone's laptop fan is screaming just to hit 30fps.
Somewhere else, someone's holding a $4,000 rig to do the exact same thing.
Neither should be normal.
