# Degen Capital

An interactive hedge-fund trading game on Robinhood Chain.

Buy an office in a near-future financial district, furnish it, staff it, and trade a live market feed from the desk you built.

![The district, drawn to scale](https://3552858075-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FGyJ2fCw8mpbx6YAYcG8z%2Fuploads%2FBQdkGm2sXDcICqEPmSf6%2Ffig-01-skyline.svg?alt=media)

## Two halves, one loop

**Your office** is what you build. Floor space, desks, servers and staff all raise one number - how many points you produce.

**Your terminal** is where you can try to further run up those points by trading them on futures or prediction markets.

## Your first hour

1. **Buy an office** — 100,000 $DEFUND, any address you like, paid once.
2. **Buy the income chain** — one terminal, one trader, one server cluster. Any one of the three without the other two produces nothing.
3. **Let it run.** Your desk was already earning from the second you walked in.
4. **Trade** earned points in the terminal

| Opening move          |        Cost |
| --------------------- | ----------: |
| Office                |     100,000 |
| Trading Terminal      |      50,000 |
| Trader                |      45,000 |
| Server Cluster        |      90,000 |
| **To open the doors** | **285,000** |

You spend $DEFUND from your own wallet, so what you can build on day one is simply what you hold.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Want to try it first?** The demo hands you 1,000,000 $DEFUND to spend on a real office with real prices, without buying anything — enough for the opening build, the module next door and a look at the higher-tier staff. It lives for as long as the tab is open and saves nothing.

Trading here is virtual. No order reaches a real venue and no real funds are at risk — your balance, your positions and your results are game state.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://degen-capital-1.gitbook.io/degen-capital-docs/degen-capital.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
