STARDUST

STARDUST (DUST for short) is Corium's score. It's a counter on your on-chain player account, not a token and not money. You can't send it, sell it, or withdraw it. It only goes up, and it decides your rank and perks and your place on the DUST board.

How it's earned

STARDUST = 1,000 per SOL sent × stage multiplier × chance bonus

Stage multiplier

The earlier in a star's life you send, the more dust each SOL earns.

Stage	From mass	Multiplier
Protostar	0 SOL	2.5×
Main sequence	2 SOL	1.5×
Blue giant	6 SOL	1.3×
Red giant	10 SOL	1.15×
Supergiant	14 SOL	1.0×
Critical	18 SOL	0.9×
Event horizon	21 SOL	0.8×

Chance bonus

A push that buys a bigger slice of the star earns a little more dust. The bonus scales linearly between these points, based on that push's own nova chance:

Nova chance	Bonus
1%	1.00×
2%	1.03×
5%	1.10×
10% or more	1.20×

The bonus only affects dust. It doesn't change your SOL odds or your expected return.
