Token allocation

The forge

Two brokers of the same tier go in, one comes out marked. The mark is the whitelist: it carries the right to buy the future token at early access price, and it scales with how rare the material was.

How it works

Burn one, mark the other

01

Bring two of the same tier

Two Common, two Uncommon, two Rare or two Epic. Both have to sit in the same wallet. Mixing tiers is rejected by the contract.

02

One burns, one survives

The survivor keeps every trait it had and gains a mark: a distinct element on the artwork and a new trait carrying the allocation size.

03

The mark is the whitelist

A marked broker carries the right to buy the future token for that amount at early access price. The forge stores it against the token number, so the mark travels with the broker: sell it and the allocation goes to the buyer.

The marketplace shows no traits for this collection, so a listing there is a number and a price, and nothing tells you whether it is Common or Epic. The explorer puts the tier on every lot that is on sale and sorts them from cheapest, which is where a pair comes from.

Legendary and Mythic never burn anything. There are only 50 and 10 of them in the collection, so they take a mark by paying 10% of the allocation they choose, and they choose the size themselves.

The numbers

Every rate at any floor

Rates follow the floor price and are refreshed every hour. Whatever rate stands when you forge is the rate your mark keeps, so the number you see is the number you get. Move the slider to see what a mark is worth at any floor.

Return compares the allocation against everything you spend: the market value of the burned token plus the fee. For Legendary and Mythic nothing burns, so the fee is the whole cost, and the amount shown is the maximum they may claim.

The math

Why it grows this way

Allocation5 × p(0.951 − 0.0358 · ln p)

The exponent itself decays with price, so growth slows down on its own. Doubling the floor from $1 to $2 adds 90%. From $8 to $16 it adds 71%. No steps, no cliffs.

Forge feemax($1, √p × tier multiplier)

A square root, not a fixed share. At a $30 floor a flat 20% fee would push total cost to $76.78 against a $83.92 allocation: a 1.09x return, and nobody would forge. The root keeps it at 1.28x. The dollar floor underneath stops marks from being stamped for free if the collection dips.

Tier multiplier×2.5 per tier

Two Rare give 25% more than four Uncommon, which give 25% more than eight Common. Rarer material always pays better for the same input.

Top tiersLegendary = Epic + 10%, Mythic = Legendary + 20%

They keep both tokens and pay 10% of whatever allocation they pick. Want a tenth of the maximum? Pay a tenth of the fee.

AllocationWhat you spendfloor $0.50 to $30

The gap between the two lines is your gain. It widens up to roughly a $25 floor, peaks near $24 per forge, then narrows until the two meet and the mechanic closes itself.

The floor

How the price is measured

Everything hangs on one number, so it is measured defensively. Every hour a checkpoint reads the live order book, prices each tier and publishes the rate the next forge will use. Sales are too rare to measure hourly, around six a day for the whole collection, while hundreds of brokers stand listed at any moment.

  • Hourly checkpoint

    The rate is fixed once an hour, and a mark keeps whatever rate stood when it was forged.

  • Median of the 5 cheapest

    The lowest lot never sets the price on its own, so one odd listing changes nothing.

  • The order book, not sales

    Hundreds of brokers stand listed against six sales a day. The price is measured where the data actually is.

  • Listing cheap gains nothing

    Pushing the floor up means buying out every cheap lot at full cost. Listing below the market only lowers your own allocation.

  • 3 lots minimum

    Below that the tier has no price and the rate simply holds.

  • No smoothing

    The checkpoint takes the book as it stands. If the floor triples in an hour, the next mark is priced off the tripled floor, and off the way back down just the same.

  • Common leads

    The one tier with a deep book. Legendary and Mythic are never measured at all: their allocation is Epic plus 10%, and that plus 20%.

The window

It closes twice over

Whichever comes first ends it. The second condition matters more than it looks: past that price forging stops paying for itself anyway, so the mechanic retires instead of turning into a bad deal.
