Every figure in this track is the figure in Helm’s code

A coin is one cent. A gift mints one diamond per coin. The creator split is 50% at the base and 60% at the cap, and the only thing that moves it is the fleet you are holding this week. If any of that changes in the code, this track changes the same day.
