SEE THE PIT

Each hash sinks the shovel. The tab is capped so it does not melt the phone. Farms will still be faster. USDC is still the price.

The machine

SHOVEL → $DIRT → $XAUM.

You don't buy gold. You buy a shovel. $DIRT keeps it swinging. Volume puts $XAUM in the hole. A deep vein pays a slice if the pot is full.

  1. 01

    SHOVEL

    Ticket into the paid pit. Traits chip more / last longer. Done with it: sell on OpenSea.

    7,707. One per wallet. Without it you scratch dirt. With it you can reach veins.

  2. 02

    $DIRT

    Fuel. New handle when it snaps. Tax burns dirt and feeds FindPit.

    You spend it to go again. Traders move it. The pot only fills if they do.

  3. 03

    $XAUM

    First find. Real gold sitting in FindPit, not a third meme.

    You do not buy it on a pad. You claim a slice by breaking a seeded vein. Empty pot is pyrite.

A machine, not a yield. Nobody is owed gold. 8.88 USDC is the price of the tool, not a deposit. $DIRT and $XAUM stay grey until the pots exist.

THE HOLE, ON PAPER.

Locked product facts. Not a whitepaper. Not a yield forecast. Hasher is not open. The Pit is the toy. 7,707 shovels when dig is on.

FIELD REPORT

Opening day 16 September 2026. 44 named pads. 37,784 new pool tokens. Forty-four percent of the tape in eleven pad names. The clipboard is the sheet. This page stays the shed.

WHAT THIS IS / IS NOT

The street is full of handles. These are the ones that cut. 7,707 pixel shovel NFTs on Arc. Your machine finds a hash. You pay USDC. You pull one out of the hole.

Not a pad. No fee switch. No points.
Not official Circle / Arc. Adjacent palette. That’s it.
Not a vault. Rent and stake stay off this page.
Not yield. No floor. No $DIRT screenshot.
Not live mint. START DIGGING is soon. Count is 0.
Not GPU art. The hash buys the ticket. It does not draw the pixels.
Not a first-come list. Top 1,000 scores pay 5.55 USDC in Phase 1. Need 20 m. Depth does not mint. Depth does not skip keccak.
Not 1/wallet fairness. Farms are faster. USDC + 1 per wallet is the ration.
HOW YOU DIG

No pay-only mint button. Proof first. Failed dig reverts. Exact USDC. One shovel per wallet. Ticket dies if you sit on it — hunt, then confirm extract immediately.

  1. Connect on Arc.
  2. The tab hashes. CPU default. GPU is flavour. The tab is capped so phones do not melt.
  3. Valid ticket: keccak256(puzzle ‖ miner ‖ nonce) ≤ threshold. Puzzle is the Arc parent blockhash (256-block window). It refreshes every block — not after a successful dig. Last night's nonce is dead.
  4. Submit dig(nonce) plus the phase price in USDC.
  5. Contract re-checks the proof, takes USDC, mints the next ID.
  6. Two valid tickets on the same puzzle: first inclusion wins. The page retries on the new block.
  7. Reveal: shared dirt JSON until mint, then that ID’s shovel.

Open difficulty 20 bits. +1 only at 2,222 and 4,444. Soft enough that a tab can land a ticket. Farms still win. Do not read that as “laptop wins.” Do not farm it. There is nothing to farm.

EARLY DIGGER

Top 1,000 Pit scores at 20 m+ pay 5.55 USDC in Phase 1. Everyone else pays 8.88. Both still hash. Merkle on launch. Ranked by metres, not first tweet.

Paste your Arc address on the BROKE card. Tweet includes the 0x. Inbox is an aid. Proof never skipped.

THE PRICE BANDS

Proof still required. Top 1,000 scores at 20 m+ pay 5.55 in Phase 1. Public dig is 8.88 → 16.66 → 28.88 USDC.

Rent, if it ever turns on, starts at ID 2,222 (or a one-way flip earlier). 70% of later claims to earlier living IDs, pull-to-claim USDC. 30% treasury. Not on the buy path today.

THE GPU DOES NOT DRAW THE PIXELS

Art is cut from trait layers before anyone digs. Your tab hunts a hash. First inclusion wins. You pay USDC. The hash buys the ticket — it does not grow a unique AI shovel.

Master is 64×64, nearest-neighbour only, three or four shades per material. One master shovel so parts line up. Looks are unique-ish, not 7,707 one-of-ones.

Layers: background, dirt, blade, socket, shaft, handle, extra. Reserved 1/1s are hand-set sheets, not rolled. If that ID is minted, the URI is still the reserved shovel.

Unrevealed: one dirt pile. After dig: that ID’s JSON. Full folder published before mainnet. No metadata server as source of truth after pin.

LATER. NOT TODAY.
01 DIG

The product. Hasher + USDC claim. Not open.

02 RENT

Later holes pay earlier IDs in USDC. Pull-to-claim on the NFT. Off this page until it is on.

03 DIRT

$DIRT is born on Argus Portal #7. Factory birth. Cannot list later. NFT + PoW stay off Argus. Shovel is the ticket. Dirt is the fuel. Volume can put $XAUM in the hole — a vein pays a slice if the pot is full. Empty is pyrite. Grey until TGE. Not a yield.

04 GOLD

FindPit holds $XAUM (later stock tokens) bought with creator USDC. A deep vein pays a slice if the pot is full. Empty is pyrite. Do not burn a shovel for dirt.

05 EXIT

Done with the tool: OpenSea. Argus already burns $DIRT on trades. No DirtSink. No stake vault. The shovel is for digging.
