SELL THE TOP
DOCUMENTATION

What ships today

The launch build is intentionally focused. The game, candlestick market, scoring, ranks, share receipts, deterministic challenge links and the global leaderboard are live. The token-dependent layer remains dormant until the official $TOP mint is published.

Quickstart

A complete round takes seconds to learn and roughly half a minute to play.

1. 01
   Open the position

   Launch the game. Every run begins with 1,000,000 virtual $TOP at 1.00×.

2. 02
   Read the market

   Watch the sealed candlestick path unfold with simulated volume and narrative signals.

3. 03
   Sell once

   Press SELL NOW when you believe the top is close. The exit cannot be reversed.

4. 04
   Reveal the truth

   The remaining candles accelerate, exposing the actual peak and your efficiency score.

5. 05
   Make it social

   Save the result, post it, or challenge a friend on the exact same chart.

Connect a wallet

A Solana wallet is optional for the core game. Connecting is only needed when you want your best result associated with a public wallet address on the leaderboard.

If a wallet prompt asks you to send funds, approve a token or reveal a recovery phrase, cancel it. That is not part of SELL THE TOP.

The sealed market

The entire price path is generated before the first candle appears. Selling does not change future candles, and waiting does not make the game secretly rewrite the top. Your decision is measured against a fixed outcome.

Why seeds matter

The same seed reproduces the same market. Challenge links include the seed, so both players face the same candles and can compare timing instead of luck.

Candles & signals

The terminal renders open, high, low and close values as familiar green and red candles. Wicks show the full range inside each simulated interval, while the volume strip reflects the intensity of that move.

Market signals such as “WHALE BOUGHT” or “VOLUME FADING” are simulated narrative events. They are part of the game, not real market data or trading advice.

Selling & reveal

SELL NOW closes the virtual position at the current candle close. The button disables immediately, a sell marker is placed on the chart and the unrevealed market plays out at increased speed.

• ✓ One exit per round
• ✓ No undo, averaging down or partial sell
• ✓ The true peak is revealed after the position closes
• ✓ Never selling produces an EXIT LIQUIDITY result

Top efficiency

The primary score measures how close your exit was to the highest wick anywhere on the sealed chart.

Example: selling at 7.20× on a chart whose highest wick reached 8.00× produces 90% top efficiency. Virtual PnL uses the 1,000,000-token starting bag and has no monetary value.

Ranks & verdicts

Leaderboards

Connecting a wallet lets you save a score. Each public address occupies one leaderboard slot, and only a better efficiency replaces its previous personal best. The public tape shows the strongest 20 exits.

Challenge links

A challenge preserves the market seed and your target efficiency. Anyone opening it sees the same market path, the score to beat and, when available, the compact wallet identity of the challenger.

2. 2Choose CHALLENGE A FRIEND
3. 3Send the copied link
4. 4Compare identical charts

Sharing & receipts

POST ON X opens the native X composer with your exit, efficiency, rank and challenge URL. SAVE RECEIPT produces a 1200×675 image you can post manually. Shared challenge pages expose dedicated preview metadata for rich link cards.

Once the contract address and official X account are added to project settings, both are included in the prepared X post automatically.

The $TOP token

$TOP is the planned identity and holder layer around the game. It is not required to play the public launch build. The official contract address will appear in the header and documentation only after deployment.

Holder layer

When the official mint is configured, the site checks the connected public address for a non-zero $TOP token balance through Solana's public RPC. Qualifying scores receive a holder badge and enter the holder leaderboard.

The check is read-only. SELL THE TOP does not request token movement, staking, delegation or custody.

Roadmap

Items labelled VISION describe possible product directions, not promises, timelines or guaranteed token utility.

Safety & privacy

• ✓ The market, position and PnL are simulated
• ✓ Playing does not send or receive funds
• ✓ Wallet connection is optional
• ✓ Public wallet addresses are visible by nature
• ✓ Never share a seed phrase or private key

Use only sellthetop.xyz. Verify token and social links from the site header after they are officially published.

Fair play

Market paths are deterministic and designed for casual social competition. The launch leaderboard is for bragging rights, not prize adjudication, wagering or financial settlement. Future competitive modes may introduce server-verified sessions before any reward-based format is considered.
