Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Ponzi is the game's fiction. In-game cash (¤) is points: you can't buy it, sell it, withdraw it or redeem it, and it never becomes money. Inviting other players props up no one's tower, and nobody is paid for anyone buying. The investors in the game are simulated. They are also very disappointed.

A free browser game. Build a skyscraper out of fake companies, pay the old floors with the new ones, and watch it fall. Everyone starts with ¤1,000,000 and a lobby. A run lasts three to eight minutes. Your score is how many floors you reached before it fell.

No. The game is free and needs no wallet, no sign-up and no token. A wallet only matters if you want to unlock holder facades.

A memecoin on Solana, launched on Pump.fun. It has no intrinsic value and no expectation of financial return. The only official contract address is GUhaVUDgEPCBpaQt9piga8SDb52EuPgqiVjxYyNbpump. It is posted by @ponzitower and on this site, nowhere else.

Loosely, and on purpose. The game doesn't need the token, and ¤ never becomes money. Holding $TOWER unlocks cosmetic facades for your tower. Holders receive a share of creator fees, paid in BTC every 15 minutes. The game touches money in two places, both free to enter: the Penthouse contest and the opt-in referral pool for new verified players. Rules at /rules.

Two things. Holders receive a share of creator fees, paid in BTC every 15 minutes, when there are fees to share. And cosmetic facades in the game: Marble, Brass Deco and the Penthouse Crown, by tenure. The facades carry no gameplay stats, ever. A marble tower falls exactly like a glass one. Holders get no promised amount and no advantage in the game. Details on /token.

Every $TOWER trade pays a 2% creator fee in BTC, on top of Pump.fun's own protocol fee. How much that adds up to depends entirely on trading, and it can be zero. We don't forecast it.

Pump.fun pays the 2% creator fee into a fee-sharing vault. It is split on-chain between four wallets, set once at launch: 50% to the holder vault, 40% to the treasury, 5% to the Penthouse and 5% to the referral pool (for new verified players). Every 15 minutes the keeper pays the holder vault out, in BTC, to wallets holding at least 2,000,000 $TOWER, weighted by how long they have held. Every payout is listed on /rent with its transaction. The referral pool is split in BTC daily at 00:00 UTC between wallets that opted in and brought new verified players to the free game (/referrals). Amounts vary with trading and can be zero.

Today's top tower. 5% of the creator fee goes to the Penthouse wallet, and every 15 minutes its balance is paid in BTC to the wallet holding today's tallest eligible tower. Free to enter, no token needed: play a server run with your wallet signed in (a signature, never a transaction) and pass the human check. Rules at /rules, the rent roll at /penthouse.

An invite gives both players the Syndicate facade and a place on the Partners board. Wallets that opt in to the referral program also share the daily referral pool for the new verified players they bring to the free game. Nobody is paid for anyone buying. Amounts vary with trading and can be zero.

Bring a player. Split the pool. 5% of creator fees is split every day between people who brought new verified players to the free game. Nobody has to buy anything. It is opt in: sign in on /referrals, accept the rules and share your link. A friend counts once they sign in, pass the human check and play a real game of at least 10 quarters. Amounts vary with trading and can be zero.

No. Neither of you has to buy, hold or trade anything. The game is free, and nothing is ever paid for anyone buying.

Every day at 00:00 UTC, in BTC, between the wallets that brought new verified players that day, by how many each brought. Rules at /rules. Amounts vary with trading and can be zero.

No. There is a game, and it works today. When something new ships, we announce it after it ships, with a link. We don't publish plans. We publish floors.

Everyone starts with the same ¤1,000,000 and the same lobby. The economy is a seeded simulation, so the same seed and the same moves always produce the same result. The falling debris is physics for show and never decides a score. Server runs are played on the exchange: the seed stays secret, the cards are dealt each quarter and the server keeps the books. Offline runs are labelled and cannot claim the Penthouse.

Every few quarters a stress scenario is published one quarter in advance, and then it hits: a sector's revenue drops or rates go up. The game reads BTC's real 24-hour move (the token is paired with BTC), and a worse day makes the stress harsher. You'll see it on screen as "Market today". When market data isn't available, stress stays at normal.

A rank. The leaderboard sorts towers by peak floors, lifespan and biggest collapse. It awards nothing else.

When your tower falls you get a death certificate. Tap Export clip to record a 12–15 second replay of the collapse (MP4 where your browser supports it, otherwise WebM), or Post on X to share your tower's page.

The one whose contract address matches the pinned post on @ponzitower and the address on ponzitower.com. Other tokens with this name or ticker exist. They are not ours. We did not build those floors.

Nobody. PONZI TOWER is not affiliated with Pump.fun, DEX Screener, X or any real company. Every company in the game is fictional, and names that match real brands are filtered out. Any resemblance to a real balance sheet is regrettable.

No. $TOWER is a memecoin with no intrinsic value or expectation of financial return. PONZI TOWER is a game; in-game cash has no value and cannot be redeemed. Not financial advice.
