How It
Works

Every grid on Gridsteal has a 10×10 layout of 100 tiles. Claim tiles, set your price, earn from Harberger taxes and creator rewards — forever.

Harberger Tax

You must always have your tile up for sale at your listed price

You pay 5%/month of your self-assessed price as tax. This flows into the shared reward pool for all tile holders.

Set your price too low → cheap to hold, but also cheap for others to buy you out. Find the equilibrium.
