One chip.
One lever.
Buy a chip with tokenised NVDA. It prints $CHIP on its own. You can push it one notch to print 25 % more — and it can fry. Everything a fried chip had banked goes to the chips still standing.
The only move in the game
No racks to fill, no rooms to level up, no cooling to buy. There is a chip and there is a lever. The whole game is one question: do you pull it again?
Push to notch 1?
1 % chance of frying it. ×1.25 if it holds.
| Output | ×1.00 |
|---|---|
| Fry odds, next notch | 1 % |
| Levers pulled | 0 |
Simulation: this roll comes from your browser. In the game it comes from the next block’s hash, and nobody can replay it.
How it works
You buy a chip
Paid in tokenised NVDA, from 0.5 NVDA up. The price climbs 6 % every 25 mints. 55 % goes to the treasury, 45 % into the liquidity pool.
It prints
800.0 M $CHIP go out over 45 days, in 5 epochs of 9 days, the rate halving each time. Your share follows your chip’s weight.
You push, or you don’t
Every notch costs 3 days of your output, burned. The odds of frying at notch L are L² %. At notch 8 you are flipping a coin with the dice loaded against you.
Why fried chips pay the others
A normal mining game emits forever and empties out when the price falls. Here the only thing that takes $CHIP out of the system is the lever: the push cost is burned, and it is priced in days of emission rather than a fixed amount — so it never collapses along with the price. And when a chip fries it does not vanish into nothing: everything it had banked is credited back to the survivors. Your greed pays mine.
The lever, in a table
Every figure here is computed from the constants in src/Rig.sol. The expected value below is modelled: it counts neither the cost of pushing nor what you collect when other people fry.
| Notch | Output | Fry odds | Reach it alive | Expected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | ×1.00 | — | 100.0 % | ×1.00 |
| 1 | ×1.25 | 1 % | 99.0 % | ×1.24 |
| 2 | ×1.50 | 4 % | 95.0 % | ×1.43 |
| 3 | ×1.75 | 9 % | 86.5 % | ×1.51 |
| 4 | ×2.00 | 16 % | 72.6 % | ×1.45 |
| 5 | ×2.25 | 25 % | 54.5 % | ×1.23 |
| 6 | ×2.50 | 36 % | 34.9 % | ×0.87 |
| 7 | ×2.75 | 49 % | 17.8 % | ×0.49 |
| 8 | ×3.00 | 64 % | 6.4 % | ×0.19 |
Notch 3 maximises expected value (×1.51). Past it you are no longer playing for the average — you are playing for the top of the table.
Emission, epoch by epoch
| Epoch | Per day | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44.4 M | 400.0 M |
| 2 | 22.2 M | 200.0 M |
| 3 | 11.1 M | 100.0 M |
| 4 | 5.6 M | 50.0 M |
| 5 | 2.8 M | 25.0 M |
A fried chip is not a hole in the ground
The NFT is burned and the chip stops printing for good. But its banked $CHIP is not destroyed — it is spread across every chip still alive, in proportion to weight. Somebody else’s bad decision lands in your balance.
