Schedule
Every day: buy at 20:15 UTC, rip show at 20:30, the Top 100 draw right after. The banner at the top of every page counts down to what is next.
The day
| UTC | What happens |
|---|---|
| 20:15 | The fees are claimed, the packs share is swapped to USDC and sent to the Pack Vault, and the packs are bought on Collector Crypt. They stay sealed. |
| 20:30 | The rip show on the pump.fun stream: every pack gets its own rip, with the card's grade, insured value and a link to it. At least 15 minutes. |
| Right after | The draw: a snapshot of the Top 100, a Solana block as the seed, one winner per card, then the cards are sent. |
All times are UTC.
When the draw starts
The draw has no fixed time. It starts when the rip show ends. Every pack gets 30 seconds on stream and the show runs at least 15 minutes: with a few packs, the haul so far, the Top 100 odds and how the draw works fill the time between rips. The stream, the site and the draw job all work it out the same way from the pack count, so the banner shows the draw time once the packs are bought.
| Packs | Show | Draw starts about |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 29 | 15 minutes | 20:16 UTC |
| 40 | 20 minutes | 20:21 UTC |
| 60 | 30 minutes | 20:31 UTC |
| 120 | 1 hour | 21:01 UTC |
On a big day the vault buys bigger packs instead of more of them, so the show stays short.
Edge cases
- No packs. If the pot is under $25 at the buy, nothing is bought and the money rolls over. With no packs there is no show and no draw that day.
- A pack bought after 20:30 waits for the next day's show and draw.
- An extra rip show. After a stream outage the operator can open the sealed packs early. Those cards go out in the next draw.
- Before launch the banner shows the daily slot. The first buy, show and draw follow the launch.
