HODLAND

Ride out, loop back home, and everything you enclosed is yours to hold. Cross a rider's tail while they're out and they lose it all. Most land when the next BLAKE2b block is mined takes the round.

Live grids

Asking the relays who is riding…

One press rides you straight in, in that grid's own mode. Every card is what riders said about themselves in a signed presence beacon that expires in two minutes — eight seats is a courtesy, not a rule.

ROUND

Round over. The board is frozen where you left it — tap GO when you are ready and the grid is wiped for the next seven minutes.

Leaderboard

Every row is a kind 2112 event signed by that rider's npub. Tap a rider for their profile and BLAKE2b wallet.

Controls

Riding

`W` `A` `S` `D`	steer (no U-turns: you cannot reverse into your own tail)
`↑` `←` `↓` `→`	steer, same as WASD
`space`	boost 0.8 s, 3.5 s cooldown (bar at the bottom)
`F`	fire a bolt ahead of you — Combat grids only, 2.5 s cooldown
`V`	chase cam: ride tight behind your tank, world rotated to your heading. Steering goes relative — `A`/`←` turns left, `D`/`→` turns right. WIDE EYE and the Rampart tactical phases take the view back while they last
`↑` `←` `↓` `→` / drag	Rampart grids, while fortifying or bombarding: look around the board. Your rider is frozen, so the same keys scroll the view instead of steering; a tap still places or fires
`Z` / scroll	Rampart grids, while fortifying or bombarding: pull back to see the shape of the board. `Z` cycles three levels, the scroll wheel is continuous, and both stop at the whole grid. Build zooms you back in

Phone

swipe	steer in the swipe direction
tap	boost
pinch	Rampart grids, while fortifying or bombarding: zoom out to the whole grid and back. Drag with one finger to look around
FIRE button	fire a bolt (Combat grids only)
FPV button	first-person chase view — same as `V`. On Rampart grids it rides with you during BUILD; FORTIFY and BOMBARD take the board back while you place and aim, then the chase view returns
home screen	installable as an app (standalone PWA)

Grid

`B`	drones on / off
`[` `]`	one fewer / one more drone (0–7)
drones	three classes — drifter wanders and never looks back, steady claims and retreats, sharp will come and cut your tail. The leaderboard shows what each one is doing and why.
`I`	copy the invite link for this grid
`L`	leaderboard
`C`	this panel
`esc`	close any panel

How to win

claim	leave your land, loop back in; the tail and everything it encloses is yours
cut	cross a rider's tail while they are out and they lose everything
shoot	Combat grids: a bolt flies ~20 cells in your heading and wipes out the first rider it touches; kills lead the board
rampart	Rampart grids: cycle through 🏗️ build (ride and claim), 🎯 fortify (tap a 2x2 block of your own land to place cannons scaled to your territory; a tap on a placed cannon picks it back up), 💥 bombard (tap enemy land to shell it). Scorched cells lose their owner and can't be reclaimed — hold the most land when the block lands
die	touch your own tail, the edge, or stretch a tail past 500 cells
round	one BLAKE2b block; most land when the next block lands wins
