# Gabox

> Open a token pack, or launch a machine

Gabox is an onchain gacha for Solana coins. A creator launches a new coin and its **machine** together, or opens a machine on a coin that already trades (a [Fan coin machine](https://docs.gabox.fun/fan-coin-machines.md)). A buyer opens a **pack** at a fixed USDC price. MagicBlock's verifiable randomness picks the prize from a fixed table, and the prize is paid in the coin.

## The short version

| Question | Answer |
| - | - |
| What is a pack? | A purchase at a fixed USDC price, chosen from a fixed range of pack prices. The price buys coins on the market, and the prize is a multiple of those coins. |
| What does it cost? | The pack price. It already includes the 0.50% pack fee and the market's trading fee. Network fees, rent and the randomness fee are paid in SOL. |
| Where is the market? | A Meteora bonding curve until graduation, then a Meteora DAMM v2 pool. |
| Who picks the prize? | MagicBlock VRF, against the machine's fixed prize table. |
| How big can a prize be? | Up to 8× the coins your pack bought on the app's default table, if the prize pool holds enough. A creator can choose up to 20× on a new coin and up to 100× on a Fan coin machine. The program allows tables up to 100×. |
| Can the creator take the prizes back? | Only the extra coins they funded after launch, and only while no pack is opening. The seed, the coins packs add and the coins Machine recharge adds stay in the prize pool. |
| What is the Mega Pack? | After graduation, pack fees fill a shared pot. When it is full, it is paid out to the coin's holders. |
| Can a machine use a coin that already trades? | Yes. That is a [Fan coin machine](https://docs.gabox.fun/fan-coin-machines.md). Its packs are priced in USDC, and its pack fee is 2%. |
| Is it an investment? | No. On average a pack pays back at most the coins it bought. The app's table pays about 95.5%. The coin price can also fall. |

## Who does what

* **Creator:** launches the coin and its machine, pays the seed, and earns part of the trading fees.
* **Buyer:** pays a fixed pack price, signs price and prize limits, and gets the prize.
* **Referrer:** gets 0.20% of the price of every pack a buyer they referred opens.
* **Holder:** holds the coin after graduation and shares each Mega Pack payout.
* **Gabox:** runs the program, holds the prize pool, checks every reservation and pays prizes.
* **Meteora:** runs the market and charges a trading fee inside each trade.
* **MagicBlock:** supplies the randomness.

## Safety boundaries

Each machine belongs to one brand new coin. The Gabox admin can raise a machine's prize table later, but can never lower its average payout, and a pack already bought keeps the table it was bought under. Every open draw holds its own pack coins, and every owed prize stays held until it is claimed. One draw can never spend the coins another draw holds. A valid table pays at most one pack's coins on average.
