Stake your Punker. Earn $PUNK every day. Pay your taxes or die. Tax keeps going up. Fall behind, and other players will hunt you down, audit you, and execute your NFT. Gone. Forever.
$PUNK is an in-game token — think of it like points. No gas fees, no extra money needed. Paying tax just costs $PUNK you already earned. That's it.
5000 Punkers enter. Only 500 survive. Survivors split the entire reward pool from all taxes and activity in the game. Don't die halfway. Simple.
Stake your Punker NFT. You start earning $PUNK immediately. Once you're in, the clock starts. No going back.
- Stake: Lock your Punker NFT into the contract. Game starts now.
- Earn Daily: Your NFT earns $PUNK automatically every day based on rarity
- Pay Tax: Pay daily tax from your $PUNK earnings to stay alive. No gas fees — tax is paid in $PUNK, not real money
- No Unstake: There's no unstake button. You're in until you survive or die
- Transfer or List = Auto Unstake: Send your NFT to another wallet or list it anywhere? Auto-unstaked. All unclaimed $PUNK — gone
Your NFT earns $PUNK daily based on rarity. Every NFT also pays daily tax — and the tax keeps climbing. Early days? Easy money. Late game? The gap between earning and tax gets razor thin. Common Punkers break even at Day 51. Rarer NFTs last longer.

You can stake anytime. But late stakers get punished hard. Here's the deal:
📈 Earn Rate — YOUR personal clock
Doesn't matter when you stake. Your earning always starts from Day 1 of YOUR timeline. Stake on global Day 20? You still earn 10 $PUNK on day one.
📋 Tax Rate — the GLOBAL clock
Tax follows the game, not you. Stake on global Day 20? You owe 22 $PUNK in tax immediately — while earning only 10. You're in the red from minute one.
| Stake On (Global) | Your Earn | Tax Owed | Net Day 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 10 | 3 | +7 ✅ |
| Day 10 | 10 | 12 | −2 ⚠️ |
| Day 20 | 10 | 22 | −12 💀 |
| Day 30 | 10 | 35 | −25 ☠️ |
Late joiners have zero $PUNK saved up. No buffer. No safety net. One missed payment and you're exposed to audit and execution instantly.
Full 60 days, zero missed payments. Here's what each rarity walks away with:
Miss a tax payment? You got 48 hours before your NFT is dead. The system won't kill you. Other players will.
Pay tax + 20% penalty to survive
NFT is dead — Sent to Graveyard permanently
| Phase | Window | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| 0–24h | Grace Period | Pay overdue tax — no extra penalty |
| 24–48h | AUDITED | Pay tax + 20% penalty |
| 48h+ | EXECUTED | NFT is dead. No recovery. |
See someone who hasn't paid tax? That's your target. Trigger their audit or execution and collect $PUNK for it. Hunt or be hunted.
| Action | Condition | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 🔍 Audit | Target NFT unpaid for 24h+ | +10 $PUNK |
| ⚔️ Execute | Target NFT unpaid after 48h+ | +10 $PUNK |
Two types of Punkers: alive and dead. No in-between.
Survivors:
- Active NFTs that are staked and paying tax
- Continue earning $PUNK daily
- Visible on the leaderboard
Graveyard:
- Executed by other players for unpaid tax
- Dead NFTs stay in your wallet but can never earn $PUNK again
- Permanent death — no revival, no second chance, no exceptions
- Shown in the Graveyard as a memorial
- You can sell or transfer dead NFTs, but death follows the token — buyer can't stake it either
All $PUNK from taxes, penalties, bounties, and forfeited earnings go into one pool — the treasury. That's the prize the last 500 survivors are fighting over.
Leaderboard rank = total $PUNK accumulated. Updates in real-time. Every tax paid, every bounty claimed, every day survived moves you up or down.
How's it split? Based on your leaderboard rank among the final 500. Not equal. Higher rank = bigger cut. The ones who stacked the most and survived the longest eat the most.
Not all Punkers are built equal. Here's when each rarity starts sweating — and when they're most likely to die:
| Rarity | Struggle | Critical | Projected Death |
|---|---|---|---|
| COMMON | Day 22+ | Day 31+ (net +2) | Day 51 (break even) |
| EPIC | Day 31+ | Day 51+ (net +8) | Survives 60 days |
| LEGENDARY | — | — | Comfortable 60 days |
| 1/1 ART | — | — | Untouchable |
5000 enter. 500 survive. Stake your NFT, earn $PUNK daily, pay rising taxes to stay alive. $PUNK is in-game — no gas fees, no extra cost. Miss a payment and other players can audit and execute your NFT permanently. Last 500 standing split the treasury. Survive or die.
No. $PUNK is an in-game token — like points. Tax is paid using $PUNK you already earned from staking. No gas fees, no ETH, no extra money needed. Everything runs inside the game.
No. Death follows the token ID, not the wallet. Buy a dead Punker from someone? Still dead. Can't stake it. Can't earn with it. Ever.
No. No unstake button. You're in. The only exit is: survive to the end, get executed, or transfer/list your NFT — which auto-unstakes it and all unclaimed $PUNK gets burned to the treasury.
Auto-unstaked. All unclaimed $PUNK goes to the treasury. New owner can re-stake it but starts from zero.
No. List it = auto-unstake. Pick one — play the game or sell.
Unclaimed $PUNK? Gone. Straight to treasury. $PUNK you already claimed to your wallet is safe.
Anyone. 24h+ unpaid = anyone can audit you. 48h+ = anyone can execute you. They get 10 $PUNK each time. Your enemies are everywhere.
Game over. The 500 survivors split the treasury — all the $PUNK from taxes, penalties, and dead players' forfeited earnings. Winner takes all.
Yes. Same tax for everyone. Rarer NFTs just earn more so they can absorb it longer. Commons die first.
When only 500 Punkers are left alive. No fixed deadline. Players get eliminated through executions and unstaking — game ends when enough people die. The 60-day projections are estimates. Could be faster, could be slower. Depends on how aggressive the hunting gets.
Day 1. Early stakers earn at low tax and build up a $PUNK buffer. Late stakers earn Day 1 rates but pay current global tax — could be in the red from minute one. Early = more margin, more safety, more $PUNK. Don't sleep on it.
