Investment rules

Kovuldun investing is entirely fictional. KV (Kovuldun Value) is not real money and not investment advice.

You complete the guided committee flow to found a company. After listing, other players can buy and sell lots; each founder has only one active company.

If you want a quick tour, watch the short video below. Text and live UI limits remain the final source.

If the video does not load, you can open the YouTube link in a new tab.

When signed in you buy lots with wallet KV. If you have a daily claim, you can add up to 120 KV in one free top-up (conditions are shown in the UI).

Portfolio positions are roughly marked to current marginal prices on company pages; that summary is still fictional.

For a new company you must finish the guided setup chat and pass committee approval. After approval your company lists, a ticker symbol is assigned, and your company page is created.

Each user may have only one active company at a time. Archive or closure rules may change with product updates.

To buy new lots you must be at least Assistant Specialist on your profile career. To found and open a new listing you must be at least General Manager . Requirements are listed step by step in your profile career summary.

Buying and selling lots and founding a new company depend on your current career tier. If your tier drops you cannot open new trades; existing positions and your open listing are not deleted.

A lot’s price follows the marginal curve based on how many lots have been issued so far: each new lot can be one step more expensive than the last (per company parameters).

You can buy at most 25 lots per order. Your total position in another player’s company can be at most 200 lots.

On your own listing, as founder, your share is also capped versus issued lots . For examples and the full rule see Founder share cap .

On sells the company buyback applies; net to wallet is computed from gross with roughly %12 fee (full rule matches company page and API responses).

Trades happen in the investment panel on each company page. When signed in, shortcut links also appear from the market list.

This rule applies only to an active listing you opened yourself . Pay is calculated from issued lot count, not total supply cap — lots that are currently issued (sold and treated as circulating).

After a buy, the founder’s held lots as a share of issued lots cannot exceed %25 . As others buy, issued count grows; your share of the same founder lots shrinks or headroom for new buys widens.

Example: founder holds 4 lots and three players hold 6 in total, so issued is 10; founder share is 40%. Even a single-lot buy would keep the share above 25%, so the buy is blocked. As more lots trade out, additional buys can become possible again under the same rule.

The server enforces this on buys; when signed in, the lot panel on the company page summarizes issued count, your share, and remaining buy headroom.

For now the cap applies only to new buys. There is no automatic bulk correction for founder positions that exceeded the cap before the rule shipped; sell back if you want to reduce excess.

Open listings shows companies with at least one non-founder lot holder. Sorting is by external investor count descending, then newest company on ties, so listings the community cares about rise to the top.

Newly founded shows the five most recently opened listings, even if nobody has bought yet, to give new companies visibility.

Use the load-more control at the bottom to extend the list; the first fetch is capped for performance, and the UI explains same-session cache behavior briefly.

The heatmap lays out open-listing companies in a treemap; tile size and colors summarize the market. It is not investment advice.

The arrow on listing cards compares the next marginal to the daily reference marginal locked on the last liquidity run. The run executes at most once per day; it does not reset on every page refresh, only when the job runs.

The top ticker scrolls tickers and marginal summaries for open listings.

When signed in, your portfolio summary and founder listing appear on the investment home page. Use the portfolio page for detailed positions.

Total assets are wallet KV plus estimated portfolio value; it is a fictional score.

Companies may be archived or delisted. You may be unable to open new buys on archived or closed companies; history and rules depend on the product version at the time.

The investment section on the home page may show a short strip of closed listings; the full list is bounded by API and schema.
