The protocol documentation explicitly promises that "King (Current King) receives a small payout from the next player's claimFee", but this functionality is completely absent from the actual implementation. The code contains only placeholder variables and defensive checks that are never utilized:
What actually happens in claimThrone()
:
New player pays claimFee
Platform takes commission (platformFeePercentage
)
Remaining amount goes entirely to the pot
Previous king receives nothing
What documentation promises:
Previous king should receive a portion of the new claim fee
This creates economic incentives for early participation
Forms a multi-level reward structure
The function comments also contradict the implementation:
Players expect immediate rewards for becoming king based on documentation
No intermediate rewards reduce motivation for early game participation
Implement the missing previous king payout mechanism as documented
