Promotion mechanics need separate records for prizes, turnover and burns

The named BlockPicks and ANSEM examples concern different obligations, not comparable returns.

The promotion roundup describes a free BlockPicks contest with a $5,000 pool, a recurring GOATED Race and an ANSEM mechanism in which a player win triggers market purchases while profit from losing positions is burned. The advertised pool is a prospective obligation whose distribution follows the contest result. Each mechanism needs a record connecting the qualifying result to its allocation, purchase or burn and the point when settlement is final. Creator incentives belong beside those terms, rather than being hidden behind trading activity.
