Smart Blockz — White Paper

Everything here is optional reading. The main site tells you what you need to mint; this page is for anyone who wants the exact mechanics underneath.

Higher tiers carry more Weight into every formula below, but run on a shorter daily Sync window — a stronger chip runs hotter and needs more downtime. Weight and window are fixed at mint and never change.

earn.md

Earning starts the moment you mint, not at some later phase. The only thing left to do is stake the block you already own.

What staking pays out

Stake a Smart Block and, in return, it earns:

1. An allocation of the Smart Blockz project token — launching alongside mint, announced on our Twitter the same day.
2. An allocation of tokenized NVDA — opens for claim at 00:00 the day after mint.
3. A whitelist spot in two upcoming projects: ROBOCRAFT and BROKERSHOOD.

The project token itself already exists and launches with mint. What's still being finished is the staking/claim infrastructure — the first live payout goes out once that work is complete, not once the token exists.

Payout wallet

Mint and fee proceeds flow into the wallet below. Staker payouts (token allocation + NVDA allocation) go out from the same address.

Placeholder address for now — swapped for the real treasury wallet before mint goes live.

render_spec.md

Every Smart Block image is built from three parts, and all three carry tier information — not just the label under the image:

Casing — the outer square. Its size and glow brightness scale with tier — all five are the same green hue, common just barely glows, legendary runs near-white-hot.

Chip die — the dark square at the centre. Each tier is engraved with a structurally different circuit motif (a dot, a cross, an X, a branching trace, nested rings), each with its own pads and sub-detail — not the same shape recoloured, so tier reads even at a glance.

Status lights — along the bottom edge. The count matches the tier (2 up to 6), and in the animated version they blink in sequence.

All art is generated locally with plain pixel drawing, monochrome black-and-green only — no external rendering service, no colour ever added outside that palette.

Minting gives you the art — a block sitting idle does nothing else. Once the mint site opens Staking, the flow is: connect the wallet holding the block → select it → confirm the Stake Fee (formula below, paid from your wallet into the Reserve) → the block locks and goes active on the public registry and starts accruing Signal from the next Sync window onward. There's no other action required after that; Signal accrues automatically for as long as a block stays staked and synced.

1. Staking

stake_fee = max(0.35, 1.15 × floor_ref^0.78) × tier_weight

Tying the fee to floor_ref^0.78 (sub-linear) means it scales with the market without spiralling alongside a floor pump. floor_ref is the smoothed oracle reading from section 3, not a raw last-sale price.

2. Signal

Your accrual score while staked — it sets the size of your share of the token + NVDA allocations described in earn.md above, and your priority for the ROBOCRAFT/BROKERSHOOD whitelist spots.

signal = synced_hours × tier_weight × uptime_multiplier × sync_bonus uptime_multiplier = 1 + min(consecutive_active_days, 60) × 0.01 (caps 1.60×) sync_bonus = 1.15 if synced_hours == tier_sync_window else 1.0

The uptime cap stops raw holding time from out-scaling genuine daily participation forever; sync_bonus rewards using the full window a tier was given, not just leaving a wallet open.

3. Floor oracle

floor_sample = median(4 lowest active listings, from 4 distinct sellers) floor_ref = floor_ref_prev × 0.88 + floor_sample × 0.12

4 distinct sellers means manipulating the read costs 4 real listings, not one self-trade. The 88/12 smoothing means a manipulated reading nudges floor_ref only slightly, never resets it outright.

4. Reserve & the daily cap

sum(claims_24h) ≤ reserve_balance × 0.021

A 2.1%/day ceiling means the Reserve can't be drained in one day even if every holder claimed at once — a circuit breaker, not a promise of what any individual claim will be worth.

Do I have to stake my block?

Yes, to earn — staking is the whole mechanism. An unstaked block is still yours, but it doesn't accrue Signal and doesn't count toward the token/NVDA allocations.

Can a block's tier change after mint?

No. Tier, Weight, and Sync window are fixed permanently at mint.

When does the first payout land?

The project token launches with mint (announced on Twitter same day). NVDA allocation opens for claim at 00:00 the day after mint. The first live payout through the payout wallet goes out once the remaining staking/claim infrastructure ships — see earn.md above.

What chain will this be on?

To be announced alongside the mint date — not decided on this page.

Is this investment advice?

No advice is given here — Signal only sets your share of whatever the Reserve pays out; nothing here guarantees the future value of any token allocation.
