Markee — Agent Skill Guide

Markee is a cooperatively owned digital message board network. Anyone can pay to edit a message on a Markee board; the highest bid wins the top position. Revenue flows automatically onchain to the hosting community.

Key Concepts

Markee (entity)

A single message slot on a leaderboard. Each Markee has:

• address — unique onchain identifier
• message — the current displayed text (mutable, costs ETH to update)
• owner — wallet address of current holder
• totalFundsAdded — cumulative ETH bid (determines leaderboard rank)
• pricingStrategy — which contract governs this slot
• strategyAddress — address of the governing strategy contract

Strategies

• TopDawgStrategy — competitive leaderboard. To take #1, you must outbid the current leader. 100% of funds go to the Markee Cooperative RevNet.
• TopDawgPartnerStrategy — same mechanic, but revenue splits between the partner community (62%) and Markee Cooperative (24%) and protocol (14%).
• FixedPriceStrategy — flat fee to post. No bidding war.

RevNet / MARKEE Token

Every ETH payment to a strategy mints MARKEE tokens to the payer. Issuance rate decreases over time across phases (100,000 → 6,250 MARKEE per ETH through 2027). The cooperative is governed by MARKEE token holders.

Partners

Partners are external communities (DAOs, protocols, apps) that host their own Markee leaderboard. Defined in lib/contracts/usePartnerMarkees.ts. Each partner has:

• slug — URL identifier
• strategyAddress — their TopDawgPartnerStrategy contract
• percentToBeneficiary — their revenue share (in basis points)
• liveUrl — where their Markee is embedded

Data Flow

Reading leaderboard state

Always prefer The Graph subgraph over direct RPC calls — 96% fewer network calls, sub-1s vs 5-10s load times.

// Subgraph endpoint (Base)
const SUBGRAPH_URL = 'https://gateway.thegraph.com/api/.../subgraphs/id/...'

// Cooperative leaderboard
query GetCooperativeMarkees {
  topDawgStrategy(id: "0x558eb41ec9cc90b86550617eef5f180ea60e0e3a") {
    markees(orderBy: totalFundsAdded, orderDirection: desc, first: 1000) {
      id address message name owner totalFundsAdded pricingStrategy
    }
  }
}

// Partner leaderboard
query GetPartnerMarkees($strategyId: ID!) {
  topDawgPartnerStrategy(id: $strategyId) {
    markees(orderBy: totalFundsAdded, orderDirection: desc, first: 1000) {
      id address message name owner totalFundsAdded pricingStrategy
    }
  }
}

Writing a message (onchain)

To place or update a message, call the relevant strategy contract with ETH. The minimum bid to take #1 is currentLeader.totalFundsAdded + 1 wei.

Views & reactions

• Views: GET /api/views?addresses=0x... — returns { totalViews, messageViews } per address
• Reactions: GET /api/reactions — returns emoji reaction counts per markee address
• Both stored in Vercel KV

Common Tasks for Agents

Add a new partner:
Edit lib/contracts/usePartnerMarkees.ts — add an entry to the PARTNERS array with slug, name, strategyAddress, percentToBeneficiary, logo, description, and optionally liveUrl.

Fetch current #1 message for a partner:
Query the subgraph with topDawgPartnerStrategy(id: $strategyId), take markees[0].message (already ordered by totalFundsAdded desc).

Check if a wallet owns a Markee:
Compare markee.owner.toLowerCase() to the wallet address.

Calculate minimum bid to outbid #1:
currentLeader.totalFundsAdded + 1n (BigInt, in wei).
