What's the weather worth?
Bind a coin to a city and a weather metric. Its trading fees collect in a pot that stays shut until the weather crosses the strike you set, and a slice of it then buys the coin back and burns it.

How it works
Where the fees go
Weather never mints supply, never dilutes a holder and never touches liquidity. It decides one number: how much of the pot opens today. No address can withdraw a pot, including the one that launched it.
01
Trades pay in
One percent of every buy and sell is taken in ETH. Four fifths of it is the pot; the rest splits fifteen basis points to the creator and five to the protocol. The pot's balance sits on chain where anyone can read it.
02
A reading a day
A keeper posts one reading per market per day with a hash of the data it came from. Anyone can check it against the same public forecast.
03
The strike opens it
Cross the strike and the pot pays out in proportion to how far past you went. The payout buys the coin on its own pool and burns every coin it buys.
The release rule
release = clamp((reading − strike) / span, 0, 1)
payout = pot × release
A strike that fires every day drains the pot as fast as fees arrive, so it never grows into anything worth watching. A strike that almost never fires builds for months. Nobody has to approve your choice, because the arithmetic already prices it.

Weather readings on this page are live. Pot balances are not. The contracts are not deployed yet, so there is nothing on chain to read a balance from. Every figure in ETH is a placeholder.
Battles
Two cities, one metric, seven days
Put ETH behind a city. Whichever one actually records more over the window takes the whole purse, and every wei of it buys the winner's coin and burns it. Nobody is paid out; you are funding a burn of the coin you already hold.

01
Anyone can open one
Two markets measuring the same thing, and a window of one to thirty days. The window starts tomorrow, so today's weather cannot be read before the bell.
02
Back a city
Send ETH to a side while the window is open. It is not a stake you get back; it is money that will buy and burn a coin, and which coin depends on the weather.
03
The wetter city takes it
Both war chests buy the winner's coin, and the coins go to its curve, where a sweep burns them. A draw burns each side's own coin with its own money.
Before you launch
Set a strike you can defend
Enter one and the pad replays it against the last 365 days of recorded weather at those exact coordinates, then tells you how often it would have paid out.
The reading the pot waits for.
How far past the strike empties it completely.
Questions
Things people ask first
Is this a prediction market?
No. There is no settlement date, no counterparty and nothing to be right about. The coin keeps trading and the pot keeps refilling whether or not the strike ever fires.
What stops the keeper lying?
Bounds, not trust. A keeper can open a pot early. It cannot mint supply, move liquidity, change a strike or take a pot. The reading is posted with a hash of its source, and the source is public.
Who gets the released value?
Holders, through supply. A release buys the coin on the open market and burns what it buys, so there is no claim list, no snapshot and nothing to go and collect.
