A penguin island where the coffee sacks pay SOL.

Getting in

1. Press Play. Pick one of twelve colours and a name (3 to 12 letters or digits).
2. Keep it, if you like. Add a password and the penguin is an account: log in from any device. Without one it is a guest that lives in this browser.
3. Payout address. Paste a Solana address to be paid at. You can add it later from the menu (Esc) or after a bank.
4. Pick a server. Eight servers, the star marks the busiest one. Everyone on a server shares the same island.

Eleven places, all open

Walk through a door or off a path to change places, or open the map (M) and go anywhere. Every place has something to do.

Main SquareThe middle of the island. Snowball fights, the paths to the Docks (left) and Pine Woods (right).

Toasty BeanThe coffee house with the Sack Stack cabinet, today's best runs on the chalkboard, a couch to sit on.

Disco FloeThe club. A lit dance floor on the beat, the DJ decks (click them to DJ), a sofa.

Waddle WearClothes for coins from the catalogue on the floor. Ring the bell on the counter.

The DocksFish off the end of the pier: every catch is worth coins.

Pebble BeachWaves, tide pools, a rowboat to sit in, and the way up to the lighthouse.

LighthouseA stage with a piano, drums and a guitar: click one and jam.

Pine WoodsA campfire in a clearing with four logs to sit on.

Sled HillGrab a sled and ride down the tracks.

Skating PondSkate on the ice, sit on a bench, get a hot cocoa from the kiosk.

Igloo RowA street of igloos and a snowman who says hi back.

Sack Stack, the game that pays

Walk up to the cabinet in the Toasty Bean and press start. A delivery truck throws coffee sacks across the yard.

• Catch sacks on your head: 2 × the truck number points each. Carry up to five; a sixth crushes you.
• Put them down on the platform at the left (click, or ↓): 3 × the truck number points per sack.
• Each truck brings 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 sacks to unload. Unload all five trucks for a +600 bonus; after that the trucks keep coming, faster.
• From truck 2 the truck also throws anvils, fish and flower pots. One on the head costs a life. You have 3; a golden star on trucks 3 and 5 gives one back.
• Move with the mouse (or ← →, or your finger). Every point is also worth a tenth of a coin.

What a run pays

A bank takes a share of the pot that grows with your points: share = 25% × (points ÷ 8,000)^1.6, at most 25% of the pot from 8,000 points on. The curve is steeper than straight: one long run is worth far more than several short ones.

The smallest bank: ◎0.0007.

How the pot fills

Every SOL that comes in lands in the pool: part of it goes straight into the pot, the rest is a reserve that flows into the pot at 25% of itself per hour, with the pot never above 30% of the pool. However many players bank at once, nobody can take more than the pot holds: a rush only makes each bank smaller until it refills.

Getting paid

Before $WADDLE launches the game runs in practice: the same rules on a paper pot, nothing is owed or sent.

Hold 0.25% of $WADDLE to cash out

A bank only pays an address that holds at least 0.25% of the $WADDLE supply. The game reads your payout address on chain when you start the hold (read only: no wallet connect, nothing signed) and checks it again when the hold completes.

Creator fees, and nothing else

Every trade of $WADDLE pays a creator fee. A payer claims those fees into the game's wallet about once a minute and books them into the pool; 2% of every claim buys $WADDLE back and burns it. Nobody deposits into the game, and the total paid out can never exceed what came in. Every claim, payout and burn is on the ledger with its transaction.

Every penguin is an NFT

The moment you make a penguin it becomes a Waddler, numbered in the order penguins were made. Its traits are its colour, its clothes and a backdrop you pick on your card; rarity comes from how many Waddlers share each trait.

• Mint it from your card's Waddler tab to your payout address: a compressed NFT on Solana in the Waddlers collection, minted for you.
• It needs a saved penguin (with a password), a payout address and one round of Sack Stack.
• It follows your look: change clothes and update it (once every 10 minutes) while it is in the wallet it was minted to.

Browse every one in the Waddlers gallery.

Coins and clothes

Coins are for dressing up and nothing else: they are never SOL and SOL never buys them. You get coins from Sack Stack (a tenth of your points, banked or not) and from fishing at the Docks. Spend them in Waddle Wear on hats, glasses, scarves, tops, shoes and new colours, then put things on and off from your card.

Fair play

• The server decides. Your browser plays Sack Stack for you to see; the server replays every input on the same seed and only its result is banked.
• No running ahead and no pausing. The server keeps the clock: a hidden tab does not stop the truck.
• A server restart keeps your run. Sessions are saved and come back where they were; your page reconnects you.
• One session per penguin at a time; a second tab takes over from the first.
• Chat: links and wallet addresses never reach other players; the swear filter is on by default.
