About Duckpot Exchange & DUCK Chain
The exchange is live today — spot, perpetual futures, P2P, Duckpot Pay, rewards and a Telegram mini app. DUCK Chain has not launched. This page is the public documentation set for the upcoming network: what it is designed to be, how the token is planned to work, what users and investors should expect at each phase, and what does not exist yet.

How the ecosystem is designed — in 3D
Four stacked layers: the live trading surfaces, the exchange matching engine, the planned DUCK Chain settlement layer, and the validator set that will secure it. Tap a slab to inspect it.
DUCK Chain settlement (planned)
An exchange-native EVM chain, currently in devnet. Gas would be paid in DUCK and split four ways: 40% validators, 25% burned, 20% staking pool, 15% treasury. Not yet launched.
- 1B fixed genesis supply (proposed)
- BEP-95-style auto-burn
- Daily staking epochs
- On-chain proof-of-reserve
Planned token creation & genesis supply
Under the proposed design the full 1,000,000,000 DUCK supply is minted once, at the genesis block, with no perpetual issuance. Staker and validator emissions release from the 350M ecosystem bucket on a schedule, alongside real transaction-fee flow — a fixed pool, a burn mechanism, and no new minting event afterwards. Nothing has been minted yet.

Proposed genesis framework for the upcoming DUCK Chain launch — indicative, not final on-chain allocations.
Planned fee flow — where every gas fee would go
Every swap, transfer, perps settlement and contract call is designed to pay gas in DUCK, splitting four ways. The burn plus treasury-buyback legs create deflationary pressure that scales with real usage rather than with emissions.
Paid to block producers and their delegators — the security budget.
Permanently removed from supply, BEP-95 style, scaling with real usage.
Distributed to DUCK stakers on a daily epoch — usage-backed yield.
Buyback-and-burn, insurance fund and ecosystem grants.
Scarcity simulator
Move the sliders to see how fee-driven burning would compress the fixed 1B supply. Purely illustrative modelling for the upcoming launch — assumes a 0.05% effective gas take, a 25% burn leg and a flat $0.05 reference price. Not a forecast, target or promise of value.

Launch phases — where DUCK Chain actually is
No launch date is being announced. Each phase ships only when the previous one is verified, and every milestone will be published on the official surfaces below before it goes live.
Exchange live
Spot, perpetual futures, P2P, Duckpot Pay, rewards and the Telegram mini app are shipped and trading today — the user base and fee engine DUCK Chain will launch onto.
Devnet & specification
IBFT 2.0 on Polygon Edge in a closed development network, genesis parameters, fee-split contracts and tokenomics documentation under review. No public RPC, no explorer, no token yet.
Public testnet
Open RPC endpoint, faucet, block explorer and testnet staking. Community validators onboard; audits and bug bounties run against the fee-split and staking contracts.
Mainnet genesis
Genesis block mints the fixed 1,000,000,000 DUCK, validator set goes live, wallet and chain-list registration land, and DUCK becomes claimable through exchange rewards.
Ecosystem expansion
Staking epochs, DUCK fee rebates on the exchange, proof-of-reserve publishing, bridge support and third-party dApps and grants.
Six planned ways to earn DUCK
Each path maps to a product Duckpot has already shipped or is actively building. Until DUCK Chain launches, the same activity earns Duckpot Points and exchange rewards instead.
Staking & delegation
Bond DUCK to a validator for a share of the 20% staking-pool fee split plus block rewards. The default hold-and-earn option at launch.
Liquidity mining
Provide liquidity to DUCK pairs on Duckpot's books or on-chain pools and earn trading fees plus ecosystem incentives.
Trading-fee rebates
Hold or stake DUCK for tiered spot and perps fee discounts — the same lever BNB uses on Binance.
Perps market-making
Supply capital to the liquidation and insurance pool behind Duckpot's perps engine for funding-rate and liquidation revenue.
Prediction markets
Trade or provide liquidity on prediction perps for spread capture and settlement rewards.
Referrals & quests
Refer traders or complete quests and competitions for allocations from the community bucket. Live today in points form.
Why launch a chain from an exchange
Most chains bootstrap liquidity from zero. DUCK Chain is designed to launch with a working exchange already pointed at it — spot, perps and prediction markets, plus existing liquidity relationships. That is the same asymmetry OKX used with X Layer, and the reason BNB Chain's validator economics stayed healthy through bear markets: exchange fee revenue subsidises the chain.
- Trading-fee revenue for treasury buybacks
- Existing user funnel for wallet onboarding
- Deep pair liquidity from day one
- Market-making desk to hold spreads tight
- Native settlement asset, lower custody overhead
- On-chain proof-of-reserve users can verify
- Composable DeFi layer for new yield products
- Credible scarcity from the burn design
Risk management & volatility levers
Burns and buybacks are a supply story, not a price guarantee. Both sides are planned with deliberate dampening levers — standard practice at established exchange chains.
Market-making desk quoting both sides of the book; treasury buybacks paced as scheduled DCA rather than lump sums; perps funding caps and short halts as circuit breakers; unlock calendars published in advance so supply is priced in, never a surprise.
Staking lock-ups remove DUCK from sellable float; a governance-adjustable emission rate on the ecosystem bucket can slow or accelerate; every burn transaction will be auditable on the public explorer and reported on a fixed cadence once mainnet is live.
A pre-launch network carries execution, security, regulatory and liquidity risk. Timelines can slip, parameters can change, and a token that does not yet exist has no price, market or guaranteed distribution.

Frequently asked questions
+ – What is Duckpot Exchange?
Duckpot Exchange (duckpot.xyz) is a live digital-asset exchange offering spot trading, perpetual futures, P2P, Duckpot Pay and prediction markets, with a Telegram mini app for trading from inside Telegram.
+ – Is DUCK Chain live yet?
No. DUCK Chain is coming soon. It is currently in devnet and specification — there is no public RPC endpoint, no public block explorer, no bridge and no DUCK token in circulation. Everything on this page is documentation for the planned network.
+ – Can I buy DUCK today?
No. There is no DUCK token, no sale, no presale and no whitelist. Any site, DM or post offering DUCK for sale is a scam. When a token exists it will be announced only on duckpot.xyz, @duckpot_exchange on Telegram and @duckpotexchange on X.
+ – What will DUCK Chain be?
A purpose-built EVM chain running IBFT 2.0 consensus on Polygon Edge, designed as an exchange-native settlement and rewards layer rather than a general-purpose L1. Parameters such as the chain ID, RPC hostname and validator set are provisional until mainnet genesis.
+ – How is DUCK planned to be created and what is the supply?
The proposed design mints the entire 1,000,000,000 supply once at the genesis block, with no ongoing block-reward inflation. Staking and validator emissions would be released from the 350M ecosystem bucket plus real transaction-fee flow. These figures are proposed, not final.
+ – Where would DUCK transaction fees go?
The proposed split is 40% validator rewards, 25% auto-burn, 20% ecosystem staking pool and 15% exchange treasury for buybacks, the insurance fund and grants — modelled on BNB Chain's BEP-95 burn design.
+ – How will I be able to earn DUCK?
Six planned pathways: staking or delegation, liquidity mining, trading-fee rebates, perps market-making into the liquidation/insurance pool, prediction-market liquidity, and referrals plus quests. Until launch, you earn Duckpot Points and rewards on the live exchange.
+ – Is Duckpot custodial and are reserves verifiable?
Deposits are custodied by Duckpot with per-user deposit addresses across BSC, Ethereum, Tron and Solana. On-chain proof-of-reserve publishing is a planned DUCK Chain feature, not a live one.
+ – Is this financial advice or an investment offer?
No. This page is general ecosystem documentation. It is not financial advice, not a prospectus and not an offer or solicitation of investment. Figures marked proposed or illustrative are a planning framework, not commitments.
General ecosystem documentation for an unlaunched network — not financial advice, not a prospectus and not an offer or solicitation of investment. No DUCK token, sale or allocation is being offered. All supply, fee-split and simulator figures are proposed or illustrative and may change before genesis.
