How it works
Everything you need to know, explained simply.
Grids start with 100 tiles available for anyone to mint
Mint proceeds are collected by the creator of the grid.
Each tile earns 1% of the rewards from the grid's asset
Grids generate rewards from Uniswap, Aerodrome, and Flaunch LPs.
Holding a tile has a weekly 5% tax on the holder's price
Grid creators earn from the tax revenue paid each block.
Anyone can buy any tile at any time
Grid creators earn 8% of the sale price.
Every tile always has a price
Take over the grid and drive the rewards.
What is takeover.fun?
Think of it like a game board attached to an asset. A creator launches a grid of 100 tiles — no upfront investment required. Anyone can mint a tile at a fixed price, and the proceeds go to the creator.
Every tile earns 1% of the grid's rewards from LP activity on Uniswap, Aerodrome, and Flaunch. Every tile is also always up for sale — anyone can buy any tile at any time. The more tiles you own, the bigger your share.
There's a cost to holding each tile. This is called the self-assessed tax. You set your own price for your tile, and every week you pay 5% of that price to keep it. Of that tax, 80% goes to the grid creator and 20% to the protocol. This encourages honest pricing and prevents hoarding.
Buying a Tile
Getting your first tile is easy.
Connect your wallet
Sign in with an existing crypto wallet or your social account.
Pick a grid
Browse the available grids and find one you're interested in. Each grid has its own asset, its own community, and its own reward activity.
Mint a tile
Pick any open tile on the grid and mint it at the creator's price. 98% of your payment goes to the creator (2% protocol fee). Your tile immediately starts earning rewards.
For Creators
Creators launch a grid with no upfront capital. Mint 100 tiles, set your price, and let the community fund it. No presale, no seed round.
Three revenue streams
- Mint sales — receive 98% of every tile minted from your grid (2% protocol fee)
- Buyout fees — earn 8% of the sale price every time a tile changes hands on your grid
- Tax revenue — collect 80% of the weekly tax paid by every tile holder (20% goes to the protocol)
As a creator you control the initial tile price. Higher prices mean more per mint but may take longer to fill. Find the sweet spot for your community.
Earning Rewards
Every tile starts earning automatically as soon as you own it. Here's how it works:
- Each tile earns exactly 1% of the grid's rewards from LP activity on Uniswap, Aerodrome, and Flaunch
- Rewards show up automatically and can be claimed at any time
- The more LP activity, the more every tile earns
- You can hold tiles across multiple grids to diversify your earnings
Your rewards grow with the grid's LP activity. Active grids with high trading volume generate more for every tile holder.
Pricing & Buyouts
Every tile holder sets a price for their tile. This is the amount someone would need to pay to take it from you.
The trade-off
- Set your price too low → someone might buy you out easily
- Set your price too high → you'll pay a higher weekly tax to hold the tile
- The weekly tax is 5% of your listed price
What happens when you get bought out?
You receive 90% of the buyout price plus your remaining deposit. The other 10% is split between the grid creator (8%) and the protocol (2%). You get paid — but you lose the future earnings from that tile. The new owner sets their own price and starts collecting rewards.
Managing Your Position
Owning a tile isn't completely passive. There are two things to understand: your deposit and what happens if it runs out.
Deposits
When you claim or buy a tile, you put down a deposit in USDC. This deposit acts as your runway — it slowly gets used up over time to cover the weekly fee tied to your listed price.
- A higher listed price means your deposit drains faster
- You can top up your deposit at any time to extend your runway
- You can also withdraw excess deposit whenever you like
Forfeiting
If your deposit runs out completely, your tile is forfeited. That means you lose the tile and it goes back on the grid as an empty space for anyone else to claim.
- You stop earning rewards the moment you forfeit
- This means your tile effectively sells for $0, but you keep any rewards you've already earned
Keep an eye on your runway. If a tile is earning you more than the weekly fee costs, you're in profit. If not, consider lowering your price or withdrawing.
How Money Moves
Here's exactly where the money goes for every action you take.
Minting a tile from the creator
A small 2% protocol fee applies. The rest goes directly to the creator.
Buying someone else's tile
Holding a tile (weekly tax)
Lower your price to slow the drain. Top up your deposit to extend your runway.
Earning rewards
Rewards accumulate automatically and can be claimed at any time.
When your deposit runs out
Any pending rewards are sent to you. You keep rewards already earned but lose the tile.
The Takeover
The entire board is always liquid because every tile has a price. Anyone can take over any number of tiles at any time.
Why does it matter?
- Controlling more tiles means earning a bigger share of trading fees
- A takeover shifts the balance of power on the board
- Other players can always fight back by buying tiles at their listed prices
- It creates a constant push-and-pull competition around every coin
The grid is never truly “settled.” Someone can always play.
