The Stock Market Moved Into Orbit

The whole game is one repeating circuit, and every station on it costs something you cannot get back. Fuel is spent before the ship reports in; the tape decides what the trip was worth after it has already left. Commanders do not predict that — they provision for it.

The Donut Harvester carries little fuel and grinds a fixed dividend yield from RWA stocks. The Arbitrage Cruiser is quick, medium-capacity, and lives off cross-exchange price gaps. The Wall Street Dreadnought drinks fuel and earns it back by lifting every ship around it. Mixed fleets outperform monocultures in the simulation, largely because launch cost scales with tank size while the Dreadnought's fleet bonus does not.

A captain sits above the hull and changes how the whole fleet behaves. The Bull reads the closing tape and pays out when the session ends green. The Bear contributes nothing to yield and everything to survival when it ends red. The Quant AI Pilot ignores the tape entirely, refuels on its own, and repeats expeditions for twelve hours while you sleep. Rarity decides who you can crew. The market decides who was right.

NVDA Sector runs hot, with the largest single-day upside on the board and drawdowns to match. TSLA Nebula moves early, often, and rarely quietly. MSTR Void concentrates everything into one position and asks you to live inside it. SPY Galaxy is broad, slow, and the closest thing to shelter out there. Each region draws its modifiers from the equity it mirrors, so choosing a destination is a directional call you are making deliberately.

Fuel is the only consumable in the game, and it leaves your hands permanently. Each launch splits the $DONUT it costs on a fixed schedule: 70% to a dead address it never returns from, 20% into the dividend pool paid to locked ships and NFT holders, 10% to the treasury that covers servers and RWA pool depth. Flying shrinks supply. That is the design premise, and the simulator shows what a month of it looks like.

Pick your hulls, assign captains, set the flight window and the uptime you will actually keep, and the simulator returns monthly $DONUT burned, projected RWA dividend fragments, and $LONG accrual. Swap a Harvester for a Dreadnought and watch fuel consumption outrun the fleet bonus at low expedition counts. Every figure it produces is a simulation output from the current design numbers — not a forecast, not a return, not a promise — and those numbers will move as the concept is balanced.

Every completed expedition pays the rare part table at its hull’s own rate. After-hours raids lose hulls more often and run that table at 3× the session rate. What the wreckage is worth depends entirely on an integration that does not exist yet, so it is described below exactly as it stands.

Today Donut Strategy is a design document, a simulator, and a set of numbers still being balanced. Planned order of work: finalize the fuel-burn model, produce ship and captain art, test the oracle logic against historical session data, then pursue the long.xyz integration described above. Nothing is deployed, audited, or funded. No launch date is being promised, and there is no countdown running. When something ships, it gets dated here and not before.
