A Machine is a robot NFT you forge by burning $BITBOTS, and it draws a share of the week's trading fees into its own vault. Series 1 is closed. It ran 11–18 Sep 2026 and minted 7 Machines — 5 forged and 2 given away — out of a ceiling of 12. All seven were revealed on 20 Sep. This page is the plan behind it: what one costs, what it pays, and the ceiling on how many will ever exist. How forging actually works, step by step, is on the Forge page →
A Machine is a robot NFT with its own vault — a balance the contract keeps for that robot, not a second wallet address you have to look after. Whatever it is paid and whatever it owns sits in that vault, and goes with it when you sell it. Seven exist, all from series 1, which closed on 18 Sep.
Every trade pays a fee. A quarter of that fee stream goes to Machines, into each robot's own vault, pro rata to wage shares (one per million burned). Paid on Fridays from the first Friday a Machine exists; the operator signs each run. It is trading fees and nothing else, so a quiet week pays little and a week with no trading pays nothing.
The Robot Arena goes ranked for Machine owners, with season prizes paid from trading-fee revenue rather than from a cut of entry fees. Paycheck Duels and pink slips — stake your robot on a fight and lose it if it loses — are written and tested but not deployed, and each needs its own legal review and a transactional ledger before it ships. ranked is live with nothing at stake; season prizes do not exist yet.
Every Machine carries five stats on the chain: POWER · DEFENSE · SPEED · COMPUTE · EFFICIENCY. They fall out of a seed mixed from every forger's secret, and once that seed locks nobody can edit them — us included. The last party to reveal has a small choice over the mixture; we publish our prize secrets at mint and reveal them first, so that party is never us. Arena rankings are kept off the chain, on a server, and are not part of the token.
Nothing is minted without a burn. Forging sends your $BITBOTS to the dead address: destroyed, no refund, no way back. That burn is also what sets the robot's share — one share per million burned, in this series and every later one.
A Machine owns things — its vault holds its equipment, its trophies and whatever it has been paid. Sell the robot and all of it goes with it. The robot IS the vault. Your wallet stays yours; the vault is the robot's, and only its current owner can empty it.
Each stage unlocks when the one before it proves itself. Only stage 01 is running; stages 02 to 06 do not exist yet.
Pilots pledge — one free signature, nothing burned. Every Friday the payroll pays stock tokens to real holders, and every run is published with its transactions. That record is what earns the forge.
The doors were open for 7 days. Forgers burned $BITBOTS and ordered a robot that was not yet drawn; when the window closed each published their secret, and all seven together decided the seed. Nobody knew what they had rolled before that — not them, not us. It ended with 5 forged and 2 given away, and every one of the seven contributed a secret. There is only one first series.

Machines fight in the Arena as your fighters, with the exact five stats on the card, a kit that falls out of those stats, a record and a replay. Ranked runs on our server on the same engine and pays nothing yet: the weekly Ranked purse and Paycheck Duels — staking a slice of next week's wages on a fight — wait for a transactional ledger and a legal review. Finishing moves are not built and would be cosmetic only.
A second series, and here is the honest part. The rule does not change: one share per million burned, forever. A later Machine simply pays more real money for that same one share, because every burn leaves fewer tokens. That, plus a low serial and the wages already sitting in its vault, is the whole reason an early Machine is worth more. There is no bonus, no multiplier and no grandfathered weighting — not now, not ever.
THE CEILING: no more than a quarter of the supply is ever burned into Machines — about 290 across five series (12 · 40 · 60 · 80 · 100), 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. A later series splits the Machine pool among Machines and never touches the holders' pool. Series 2 includes a disclosed block of 10 for launch partners, 30 public, minted at the same burn per share as everyone.
Both robots go into escrow. Lose the fight, lose the robot — its vault, its savings and its record all walk to the winner. The contract is written and tested, and it is not deployed. It needs its own legal review and a transactional ledger before it could ship, and it may never ship.
💰 THE RANSOM: the loser may offer to buy their robot back; the winner can accept, refuse or counter. Also not built.
Built: Drones — cheap fleet units for everyone, at the Scrapyard. Burn 25,000 $BITBOTS, get a real drone with five stats to a budget of 120. It fights other drones for a weekly ladder purse, takes damage that never heals, and is scrapped by its third fight at the latest. One rule protects Machines from them: a Drone never takes a share of the wage pool — the storage does not exist. The contract is written and tested; it goes live when the operator signs it.
| SERIES | MACHINES | SMALLEST BURN | SHARE IT BUYS | WHAT IT DOES |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · CLOSED | 7 / 12 | 1,000,000 | one whole share | 5 forged by the public, 2 given away, of a possible 9 + 3. Ran 11-18 Sep 16:00 UTC and closed. The rarest ever made. |
| 2 | 40 | 250,000 | a quarter share | Opens the door to the community: 30 public, and a disclosed block of 10 for launch partners, minted at the same burn per share as everyone else. Earns exactly a quarter of what a million earns. |
| 3 | 60 | 250,000 | a quarter share | Growth. |
| 4 | 80 | 250,000 | a quarter share | Growth. |
| 5 · LAST | 100 | 250,000 | a quarter share | The fleet is complete. After this, no more Machines, ever. |
The three rules that hold in every series. Burning is permanent. One share per million burned — a quarter share for a quarter million. A later series splits the Machine pool among Machines and never touches what ordinary holders get. How to mint, in four steps, is on the Forge page.
What you pay. You burn $BITBOTS — 1,000,000 at the cheapest tier in series 1; from series 2 a quarter share costs 250,000. Burned means destroyed. No refund, no unburn, no way back.
What you get. A robot with its own vault, and one share of the Machine wage pool per million burned. Every tier costs exactly the same per share. A bigger burn buys a better robot, never a better rate.
Where the money comes from. A quarter of the trading fees, and nothing else. It falls when trading falls. It splits further with every Machine forged. In a week with nobody trading, it is nothing. It is not a yield and not a return, and no number is owed to you.
What has actually been paid. Three payroll runs have happened so far (4, 11 and 21 September). Its real figures and its transactions are in the payroll ledger. Judge this on those receipts, not on an estimate.
Pledging was one free signature — no fee, nothing out of your wallet, nothing burned, and non-binding. It put you on the roster and earned free Machines for the list: two of a possible three were earned and minted; the third needed 30 qualifying wallets and the drive closed on 26. There was one door and it opened for everybody at the same second: the contract had no allowlist and no early window. The full record is on the pledge page →
the rules, in full:
· burn amounts are fixed and published 72 hours before the doors open, and never change after
· one share of the wage pool per million $BITBOTS burned, in this series and every later one — from series 2 in quarter-share units: burn 250,000, earn exactly a quarter
· 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
· a later series splits the Machine pool among Machines; it never touches the holders' pool
· an early Machine is worth more only because it bought that share for fewer dollars — there is no bonus
· stats come from published code and a secret you pick yourself, revealed after minting closes; the last party to reveal has a small choice over the seed — we publish our prize secrets at mint and reveal first, so it is never us
· the series size is fixed in the contract before it opens and cannot grow
· the team forges no public serial; the three prize serials are reserved and minted before the doors open
· every ten pledges earns one free Machine for a pledger, up to three in this series
· there is one door and it opens for everybody at the same second — no allowlist, no head start
· the series-1 contract is deployed — its window ran 11 Sep to 18 Sep 16:00 UTC, was fixed in the contract, and has closed
🎁 FIRST SHIFT GIVEAWAY: every ten pledges earns one free Machine for a pledger — up to three in this series, which is the number the contract can mint as prizes. Winners are drawn from a block hash announced in advance — only pledges made before that block count, and anyone can re-run the published script and get the same winners. A pledge on its own does not enter you: read the line below.
You need to hold 100,000 $BITBOTS to be eligible for a free Machine. Pledging itself is still free and still burns nothing — but a signature costs nothing to make, so on its own it cannot earn a prize. Most signatures so far come from wallets holding zero, which is why the counter shows holders rather than signatures. Your balance is checked on chain at the draw block, not when you sign.
What the stock tokens are. They are tokens on pair.fund named after companies. The price tracks the company’s share price. It is not a share. You own none of the company, vote on nothing, and get no dividend. What the payroll sends you is the token, not equity.
