Opening, returns & redemption
Protection follows the original purchase, not the resale price.
While sealed
The 70% original-payment reserve does not expire while a pack stays sealed. The current owner requests opening before choosing a whole-pull return. Opening freezes transfer while the backend supplies the committed manifest.
For example, a 100-unit pack has a 70-unit return even if it later sells for 250. A secondary buyer acquires that existing right, not 70% of their own purchase price.
After successful reveal
The five-minute decision clock starts when the reveal transaction succeeds, not when opening is requested. Keep accepts all five cards and ends cash protection. Return surrenders the whole pull for the reserved amount. Individual-card cherry-picking during protection is not allowed.
After the deadline, the default is Keep. Permissionless settlement releases only the expired pull’s reserve. Opening and keeping do not redeem the tokens.
Redeeming kept cards
In burn-only v7, kept cards can be held, sold, or burned to withdraw. Accumulated fees and original backing stay attached while the NFT exists. Redemption burns it first, permanently retires its earning weight, then pays both assets atomically. There is no standalone fee withdrawal. Graduated tokens must finalize aggregate accounting before redemption; protected returns remain available during the wait. Historical v6 seasons retain their original fee-claim rights.
Shutdown uses a longer decision period. Read Shutdown before relying on the ordinary five-minute timer.
