King of the Mill
Token Mill turns explosive god candles into a daily ritual with the King of the Mill (KOTM) race. Tokens compete in a 24-hour battle to be crowned the KOTM. All trading fees from the epoch are used to execute a massive single market buy, creating instant price impact for the winning token.
This flips the standard playbook for a token launcher on it's head — turning the trenches into a daily prediction market where trenchers can both bet on which token will capture the next god candle and also trade the volatility caused by this inevitable pump.
The 24-hour format creates a high-intensity arena where communities must rally, compete, and deliver results within a single day.
KOTM Race & Crowning Process
Token Mill runs on 24-hour epochs, with a new King crowned daily at 16:00 UTC. Each day is a fresh battleground where tokens fight for volume dominance and market cap positioning.
The Daily Battle (16:00 - 16:00⁺¹ UTC) Throughout the 24-hour epoch, all tokens on the platform compete simultaneously for the crown. New communities mobilize, traders position themselves, and volume battles rage as tokens vie for the top spot.
The Crowning At the end of the epoch, both conditions must be true in order to be crowned King:
Hold a Top 3 Market Cap position at the moment of epoch closure
Generate the Highest Volume among the top 3 tokens since the epoch began
KOTM Additonal Mechanics
Epoch Extensions
If the accumulated trading fees don't reach the minimum threshold of 1000 SOL, the epoch automatically extends by another 24 hours. This guarantees a big enough buyback to deliver the explosive pumps our traders expect.
No Consecutive Wins
New day, new battle. The trenches are made for quick runners, and Token Mill's promise of a massive god candle every single day elevates this fast-paced meta even further. By preventing consecutive wins, we encourage fresh competition and maintain the high-octane environment that defines our platform.
If you trade on Token Mill, you're here exclusively for the prize of a giant god candle and the explosive volatility that surrounds it.
Mandatory Participation
Every token launched on Token Mill automatically enters the King of the Mill competition. This ensures maximum competition in every epoch and guarantees that all trading activity contributes to the daily god candle prize pool.
The Buyback (aka the God Candle)
The winning KOTM token receives a massive single market buy using all accumulated trading fees from the epoch. No more gradual TWAPs — it's a one-click, one-hit god candle designed for maximum impact.
All purchased tokens are secured in the Token Mill treasury wallet and reserved exclusively for future centralized exchange listings.
The buyback occurs at a random time 18-24 hours after epoch closure (10:00-16:00 + 1 UTC), creating suspense and volatility for the KOTM token.
All of this post-crowning volatility for the KOTM token will contributes to the prize pool for the next day's epoch, driving momentum forward into the next day. Some might call that... a flywheel.
Fee Structure
All trades on Token Mill incur a 2% total fee:
1.5% KOTM fee: Used to buy the KOTM tokens
0.5% Token Mill fee: Goes to the platform
