Words3 · interactive mechanism simulation

Players pay ETH per letter into VRGDA-priced letter auctions → letters land on the shared board → builders earn passive royalties when others extend their words → the round's ETH pot pays out pro-rata by score.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched Words3 mechanism (VRGDA-priced letters, round-based pro-rata pot redistribution, passive royalties for extended words), but placement timing and prices are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. "Trigger bot flood" shows how a burst of fast, high-frequency extraction concentrates the pot in one scorer, the retention problem the game never solved. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
