Your $1 unlocks the Founder Pack right away: 500 Gems, 30 Hero Shards, 3 hours of speedups, a Rare hero, Uncle Bo as your 3rd builder and the gold Founder border. It also keeps the valley fair: a small entry makes thousands of throwaway wallets too expensive to farm or pad the rankings. You pay once per wallet, paid in SOL: no subscription, no hidden fees. When the Stone Clans token launches, its creator fees are split on chain: 40% to the players' reward pool, 10% to buy back and burn the token, and 50% to keep building the game.
