Whale Lounge — Roadmap
A lounge for Diamond District whales to play with their in-game wealth — all of it denominated in $BANK, the house coin of the Diamond District Bank. Move it on the Rail, trade it in the Speakeasy, stake it at the casino. Transfers between players are free; only conversions in and out burn. Everything is play-money only — here's what's live and what's coming next.
The Rail — move value across networks
Move value across networks without paying the Winston Reserve's tax. Route through trusted, collateral-backed parties — settled in $BANK, where player-to-player transfers are free. Every handoff vouched and logged.
- Deal state machine (request → vouch)
- Server-authoritative settlement math
- Gem trust tiers (Ruby → Diamond)
- Collateral / deposit capacity model
- Vouches & reviews
- Admin console + transaction feed
Rail polish & fixes
Known gaps to close before the Rail is considered production-solid.
- Fix deal-read authorization (IDOR on GET deal)
- Reconcile the tax-vs-net settlement bug
The Speakeasy — back room deals
The back room the Reserve doesn't see. Off-the-book positions brokered between whales — short other coins, run dark pools, and pool capital into player-run hedge funds. Margin and settlement denominated in $BANK.
- Short positions on in-game coins
- Margin / collateral against open shorts
- Position & P&L tracking
- Liquidation rules
- Dark pool trading — size moves off the open book
- Player-run hedge funds — pool capital with other whales
- Hedge fund rankings tracked by P&L
- View fund members (when they opt in)
The casino floor
A play-money casino where the chips are $BANK. Win or lose at the table, your balance is the same coin you trade and settle with everywhere else in the lounge.
- Slots, roulette, blackjack
- $BANK chips — deposit via vouched players
- Real-time live tables
- Provably-fair outcomes
The Reserve — monthly earnings & reinvestment
The house keeps the books in the open. Every month $BANK publishes an earnings report — flow fees, conversion burns, and table take — and a share of those earnings is reinvested straight back into the coin, supporting the price for everyone holding it.
- Monthly $BANK earnings report, published to holders
- Automated month-end reinvestment back into $BANK
- Treasury / reserve balance visible on-site
- Reinvestment & buyback history
Whale perks & social
The connective tissue that makes it a lounge, not just a set of tools.
- Leaderboards & whale rankings
- Tier-gated perks & rooms
- Activity feed across modules
