Canonical Rulebook
The Code.
Everything that runs the block, written out. Shifts, ranks, presale rationale, and account reputation.
What This Is
CATZ IN DA HOOD is an autonomous web3 game economy powered by ERC-6551 Token Bound Accounts, off-chain X reputation, and on-chain $BLOCK reward mechanics.
Why the $BLOCK Presale Exists

Catz Ranks & Multipliers

Runs the local corner. Major allocation.
Top tier. Maximum Count window and maximum Bag size.
The Stash (ERC-6551)
Every Catz NFT owns its own smart contract wallet using the ERC-6551 Token Bound Account standard. All $BLOCK earned from shifts lands directly inside the Catz' Stash. When a Catz NFT is transferred or sold, its Stash balance and on-chain rank travel with it.
The Desk
The Desk is the hood's internal swap and market interface. Swaps between $BLOCK and ETH occur seamlessly, maintaining real-time liquidity pools for shift workers and holders.
$BLOCK Tokenomics
Account Rep vs NFT Rank
Account Rep: Off-chain reputation bound strictly to your X handle and wallet account. Earned through initiation, task completion, daily check-ins, and verified referrals (+4 Rep). Determines your place on the public Leaderboard.
Catz Rank Score: On-chain status bound to individual Catz NFTs. Earned by running shifts on The Block.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Account Rep the same as Catz Rank Score?
No. Account Rep is off-chain reputation earned by X activity, tasks, and referrals tied to your account. Catz Rank Score is on-chain rank earned by Catz NFTs through shifts.
Does Initiation guarantee an NFT mint?
Initiation grants an FCFS (First-Come, First-Served) spot on the OpenSea whitelist. Guaranteed spots (GTD) are reserved for top leaderboard rank holders and strategic collabs.
What happens if I miss Cash In during The Count?
You enter Caught Slippin'. You have 12 hours to pay the Lay Low fee to salvage your Bag. If you don't, the Bag is burned and your shift streak resets.
