How forging works, step by step. What a Machine costs and what it pays is on The Plan →
When the forge opens: burn 1,000,000 $BITBOTS and a robot comes back. Burning means sending the tokens to an address nobody holds the keys to. They are destroyed — nobody, including us, can bring them back, and there is no refund. What you get is a Machine: a robot with its own vault, which is paid a share of the week's trading fees on the Fridays there are any.
THE PART MOST PROJECTS LEAVE OUT ▸ WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM: the week's trading fees, and nothing else. There is no other source and no reserve behind it. ▸ IT CAN BE ZERO: it goes down when trading goes down, and a week with no trading pays nothing. ▸ IT SHRINKS AS THE FLEET GROWS: every Machine forged splits the same pool further. ▸ IT IS NOT A YIELD, NOT A RETURN, AND NOT A PROMISE OF ANY NUMBER. Nothing here is owed to you by anyone. ▸ THE BURN IS FINAL: the tokens you forge with are destroyed. No refund, no undo.
This is a record, not an instruction. Series 1 closed on 18 September and its seed is locked, so none of these steps can be taken now. It is kept because it is the clearest account of how the commit-and-reveal actually worked.
When the forge opens, three more steps appear here: connecting a wallet, a check against your real balance, and the two transactions that do the burning.
The forge runs on Robinhood Chain (4663) — the same network you buy $BITBOTS on. Connecting signs nothing and moves nothing.
A phone's normal browser has no wallet inside it, so it cannot sign. 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: your balance, the tiers you can afford, how many you have already forged, and whether the window is open. If anything blocks you, it names it.
A tier is how much you burn. Burning more buys two things: a bigger stat budget — the points shared out across the robot's five stats — and a bigger share of the Machine wage pool, at one share per million burned. It does not let you pick what you get. The parts, the stats and the rarity all come out of a seed mixed from every forger's secret. One honest caveat: the last party to reveal gets a small choice over that mixture. We neutralise it by publishing our own prize secrets at mint and revealing them first, at the bell, so that party is never us — the section on how the seed gets made says exactly how.
The odds, printed. Every forge gives you a robot. Nobody comes away with nothing. The roll only decides how rare it is, and a rarer robot gets extra stat points on top of the tier's budget. A higher tier shifts the odds up. It never changes the wage: a Legendary earns exactly what a Common that burned the same amount earns.
Why you are handed a secret. Your robot is not decided when you burn. It is decided later, by one number made from every forger's secret mixed together. While the forge is open most of those secrets are still hidden, including yours, so nobody can work out what any robot will be — not you, not us, not someone watching the chain. That is the thing that stops it being rigged.
Your browser makes the secret using your device's random number generator. Only its fingerprint goes on the chain — a hash, which proves later that you had this exact number and could not have swapped it. 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. Forty-eight hours after the window closes, anyone can lock the seed in whether or not everyone has revealed. You would just not have added your part. A missed contribution, not a lost robot.
Two confirmations, in order. The first lets the forge take exactly your burn amount — never more, never unlimited. The second burns it and builds the Machine. After the second one the tokens are gone and there is no undo.
⚠ In your wallet's fee screen, choose the normal or market speed — not "fast" or "aggressive". On this chain a too-large fee gets the transaction dropped silently, with no error to tell you. This page already sets the right limits: 120,000 for the approval, 250,000 for the forge.
Lets the Machines contract take exactly your tier's burn amount. Nothing is burned yet.
Destroys the tokens and mints your Machine with your commitment attached. This one cannot be undone.
A prize Machine is minted straight to your wallet and arrives sealed — it is real, it is yours, and it is on the payroll, but no robot has been drawn yet because its seed does not exist until the forge closes. When it does, you open it. Not us. We hand you the secret; opening it is your move.
Your secret never leaves this page except as the transaction that opens the crate, and the chain checks it against the fingerprint recorded when your Machine was minted — so a wrong one simply bounces. If the forge has not closed yet, this will tell you so rather than failing quietly.
Your secret is in the mixture and the seed is sealed. This is the first time anyone sees what you made — including us.
Every piece you see is drawn from the seed on chain. Put the layers back together and you get the card, byte for byte — nothing here is decoration added afterwards.
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.
There is no image file. Your Machine’s art is recomputed from its seed every time someone asks for it, by code whose fingerprint is written into the contract. That is what makes it checkable: download the generator, check its SHA-256 against generatorHash on chain, read your seedOf(), run it, and you get the identical picture. Nobody has to take our word for it.
Today that recomputation happens on this website, and you should know what that means. If bitbots.fun stops answering, a marketplace has nowhere to fetch the image and will show a blank. You would still own the Machine — ownership, transfers and its vault are on the chain and do not touch this site — and the art would still be reproducible by anyone from the seed. But it would stop displaying by itself.
That is a real dependency and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It gets closed after the reveal: the finished art is pinned to permanent storage, the generator goes on chain, and the metadata pointer is frozen so not even we can change it. Until then, this is the honest state.
Seven part slots — head, chassis, arms, legs, core, antenna, palette — plus wear and a five-stat spread. The art comes 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. One caveat: the address a marketplace fetches the picture from is one we can still point elsewhere until we freeze it. The seed and the code cannot be changed by anyone.
THE RESIDUAL WE DO NOT HIDE▸ Secrets are folded into the seed in the order they are revealed. Whoever reveals last can pick between a handful of outcomes by choosing which of their secrets to reveal and when. That is the one weakness of commit-reveal without a randomness beacon, and it is real.▸ What we do about it: the three prize secrets are published the moment the prizes are minted, and the operator reveals them first, at the bell, before announcing that the reveal window is open — so the last revealer is never us. We pre-commit publicly to the block in which we call finalize, and we do not withhold.▸ What is left: the last ordinary forger keeps that small choice. With one secret it is a coin flip between two outcomes; it cannot change the budget, the tier or who owns what.
A quarter of the trading fees goes to Machines. A Machine's share of that is set by what it burned, and it is paid into the Machine's own vault, which only the current owner can empty. Sell the robot and the savings go with it. This is a policy we run and publish every Friday, not a fund locked away somewhere.
There is no other source. The pool is trading fees. A quiet week is a small wage; a week with no trading is no wage at all. Nothing here is fixed, guaranteed, or owed to you by anyone.
Every Machine forged splits the same pool further. Later series never touch the holder pool — they dilute other Machines. More robots means a smaller wage for every one of them. There is a ceiling: no more than a quarter of the supply is ever burned into Machines — about 290 across five series, then the fleet is fixed for good. From series 2 the unit is a quarter share: burn 250,000, earn exactly a quarter of what a million earns.
