Ops lock
Development and running costs
Servers, legal, tools, the work of applying to exchanges. Not a salary dump the day after launch.

Ops and listing locks
After official launch we will need coins we can actually use: to pay for keeping the project running, and to deposit or seed a book when an exchange will list RUCK. Those coins will sit in two published addresses you can watch. They will not appear in genesis. They will not come from the test wallet.
Why this exists. A mineable coin with no listing inventory and no way to pay servers stays a notebook on a home PC. Hiding a pile in genesis is how projects lose the room. We chose public locks instead.
The two pots
Listings lock
Exchange deposits and liquidity
Coins an exchange or a market-maker may require to open a pair. Not for personal sale in a chat.

Veterans fund
Separate on purpose
Aid is not ops and not listings. That pot stays on the veterans page. We will not move coins between these three without a public note and a txid.
How coins get in (after height 0)
- We mine in the open, same rules as everyone else, then send to these addresses.
- Anyone may donate to a lock. That is voluntary.
- No coins in block 0. No cut of the 5,000 block reward. No fee tax.
- The test-chain wallet does not move here. Those coins die in the reset.
How the community can check we are not dumping
-
If it is not on this page, it is not a lock
No DM address. No “send to this K for the listing.” Only the strings printed below, once they exist.
-
Ops coins wait, then the room votes
Ops coins stay put until a published height (about 90 days after official launch). After that, a spend still needs a public vote from official-wallet holders. We will also print a per-proposal cap at launch so one vote cannot empty the pot.
-
Listing coins leave only for a named venue, after a vote
A listings unlock must name the exchange or pool and the job (deposit, pair inventory, documented market-making). No “misc.” Holders vote on that exact amount and reason. If the vote fails, the coins stay put.
-
Every outflow has a row
Date, which lock, amount, why, vote result, txid. Same standard as the veterans page. An empty excuse is a broken promise.
Outflows
| Date | Lock | Amount | Why | Txid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No public locks yet. This table stays empty until official launch and the first spend. | ||||
Targets (printed at launch)
| Lock | Target | First unlock | Spend rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ops | Set on height 0, in RUCK, on this page | ~90 days, then a holder vote | Per-proposal cap + vote + public row |
| Listings | Set on height 0, in RUCK, on this page | Named venue + holder vote | Named job + vote + public row |
If a lock goes over its target, the extra stays in the address or is burned. We will say which, with a txid. We will not invent a huge genesis pile and call it a lock.
What we will not do
- No premine and no founder wallet in genesis.
- No protocol tax labeled “dev fee.”
- No mixing these coins with the veterans fund.
- No unlocking because a chart looks good, or locking forever because it does not.
- No using listing coins as a personal bag.
Today. Public test only. There are no official lock addresses. Anyone collecting “dev RUCK” or “listing liquidity” right now is not this project.
