A Machine is not bought. It is built out of burned tokens — you send $BITBOTS to the dead address and a robot comes back with its own vault, its own wage and its own permanent record. The tokens are gone forever. Nobody, including us, can un-burn them.
Below is what you can already read. When the forge opens, three more steps appear around them: connecting a wallet, an honest eligibility check against your own balance, and the two transactions that do the burning.
The forge runs on Robinhood Chain (4663) — the same network you buy $BITBOTS on. Nothing is signed by connecting.
A phone's ordinary browser has no wallet inside it, so it cannot sign anything. Tap your wallet below and this page reopens inside the wallet's own browser, where forging works.
Any other wallet (Rabby, Phantom, OKX, Bitget): copy the link, open your wallet app, find its Browser or Discover tab, and paste. On a laptop, install a browser wallet extension and reload.
Connect a wallet and this fills in with your real numbers — balance, tiers you can afford, how many you have already forged, and whether the window is open. If anything blocks you, it says exactly which thing.
A tier is how much you burn. Burning more buys a bigger stat budget — the total the five stats are shared out from — and a bigger share of the Machine wage pool, which is weighted by tokens burned. It does not buy a better roll: which parts you get, and how the budget is split, come from a seed nobody can steer.
Why you are being handed a secret. Every forger commits one. After minting closes they are all published and mixed together into the single seed that decides every Machine's parts and stats — so while the window is open nobody, including us, can compute any outcome, because the mixture does not exist yet.
Your browser makes the secret with the operating system's random number generator. Only the hash goes on chain. The secret itself never leaves this page — we never see it, and there is no server to send it to.
——If you lose it: your Machine is still built and still gets a seed — the contract locks one in 48 hours after the window closes whether or not everyone has revealed, and anyone can trigger that. You would simply not have contributed your part. It is a missed contribution, not a lost robot.
Forging takes two confirmations, in order. The first lets the forge move exactly the burn amount — never more, never unlimited. The second burns it and builds the Machine.
Lets the Machines contract take exactly your tier's burn amount.
Burns the tokens to the dead address and mints your Machine with your commitment attached.
Kept in this browser only. Clearing site data deletes them — the downloaded file is the copy that survives. When the window closes, each one can be submitted here.
Seven part slots — head, chassis, arms, legs, core, antenna, palette — plus wear and a five-stat spread. The card art is generated from the seed by published code whose hash is stored on the contract, so anyone can re-run it and get the same image byte for byte.
A quarter of the trading-fee stream is set aside for Machines. A Machine's share of it is weighted by the tokens it burned, and the wage is paid into the Machine's own vault, which only its current owner can empty. Sell the robot and the savings go with it.
There is no other source. The pool is trading fees — a quiet week is a small wage, and a week with no trading is no wage at all. Nothing here is fixed, guaranteed, or owed to you by anyone.
Every Machine forged divides the same pool further. Later series never touch the holder pool — they dilute other Machines. More robots on the benches means smaller pay packets for all of them.
