Your CU role is your access level. It controls how soon you get each play, how many plays you get each month, and how much $CU you burn for extras. Genesis is the top. Amoeba is the start.
CLIMB HIGHER. WAIT LESS. GET MORE. BURN LESS.
Every member eventually sees the same play. Your role decides how early you see it — and by then, part of the original opportunity may already be gone. That timing gap is the whole reason to climb.
The CU Machine identifies a qualified play and it enters the delivery queue.
Genesis gets it instantly. Every role below waits its own delay — from 6 hours down to 228 hours.
One credit unlocks the complete play, including every update, exit and invalidation notice that follows. No extra credits.
Out of credits? A Refill Card adds plays. Stuck waiting? A Cut-the-Line Card skips your delay.
Genesis receives every qualified play immediately. Everyone else waits.
Rocket through Humpback Whale are 6 hours apart. Whale through Amoeba are 12 hours apart.
Each role has a monthly Play Allocation. One Play Credit unlocks one complete play.
That credit covers the full play and its follow-ups — updates, exits and invalidations — without spending another.
Used up your monthly allocation? A Refill Card adds more Play Credits.
Buy $CU and send the required amount to the burn wallet. Higher roles get more plays from the same card.
A Cut-the-Line Card skips your normal delay on your next eligible play — delivered at Genesis speed.
Higher roles get more uses each month, from 5 for Rocket down to 1 for lower tiers.
Rocket sets the base card price. Every role below Rocket pays an extra 15% of that base, step by step.
Refill Cards and Cut-the-Line Cards may start at different base prices, but the same role percentages apply.
At the end of every month, your qualifying role is re-checked and your limits refresh.
Your Play Allocation refreshes, your Cut-the-Line uses refresh, and card pricing is recalculated from your new qualifying role.
Each role is shown as a card below — scroll to compare.

CU plays contain time-sensitive information. If everyone received every play at the same moment, holding a higher role would mean nothing.
This system protects the value of each play, gives lower roles a real way to temporarily increase access, and creates genuine utility for $CU through burns.
Roles, allocations and card limits reset at the end of every month — so there is always a path up.
CU plays represent identified opportunities, not guaranteed results. Always consider risk and do your own research. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
