# The Second Decree: The Structure of Commitment

To **buy a ticket** is to make a choice—not just to enter, but to determine how **one's commitment is allocated**. Here, the creator must establish **the distribution of the ticket price**, splitting the offering across three divine pillars:

1. **The Asset – Token Purchase Allocation**
   * A portion of every ticket must be dedicated to the **acquisition of the competition’s chosen token**.
   * This ensures that participation fuels the **very thing being tested**—strengthening its value and rewarding true believers.
2. **The Reward – The Prize Pool**
   * The creator determines how much of each ticket purchase is committed to **the prize pool**.
   * A portion will be set aside for **the prize pool**, retained within the competition, ensuring **a single victor emerges to claim the ultimate reward once the final reckoning occurs.** 
3. **The Tithe – Protocol and System Fees**
   * As with all great competitions, a portion must be given to **sustain the system itself**, ensuring that **Blind Faith remains incorruptible**.
   * This portion is immutable in its **upper limit**—**never exceeding 5% of the total commitment**—but its distribution is **determined by the protocol owner**, who may adjust the individual allocations as they see fit, provided the total remains within this boundary.
   * The **standard structure** is as follows:
     * **2%** – The Protocol, ensuring the continued existence of Blind Faith.
     * **1%** – The Global Prize Pool, fueling the grand test beyond individual competitions.
     * **1%** – The Influencer Fee, sustaining the spread of the message.
     * **1%** – The Competition Creator’s Fee, rewarding those who forge new competitions.
   * While the **protocol** may alter these percentages, **they may never exceed the 5% total allocation**. The balance is set, the law is written, and **no single entity may claim more than what is justly given**.

> A total of **95%** must always be allocated between the **token purchase** and the **prize pool**. The default structure dictates a **75% commitment to the token purchase** and a **20% allocation to the prize pool**, ensuring a **balanced competition between strengthening the asset and fueling the final reckoning**.
>
> However, the **creator holds the power** to adjust this balance within strict boundaries:
>
> * **A maximum of 90%** may be committed to either the **token purchase** or the **prize pool**.
> * The remaining **5% minimum** must go to the opposite allocation, ensuring that neither is wholly neglected.
>
> This structure ensures that every competition remains **a true test of faith**, where believers must decide **whether to reinforce the asset they support or to fuel the reward that awaits the final victor**.

Through this decree, the creator defines the **path of participation**. Those who enter will not merely buy a ticket; they will make a **choice**—how their offering shall be divided between **faith, fate, and the system itself**.
