BURGERS begin as tradable collectibles. The owner can put one to work permanently so it earns BUNS from onchain time. BUNS can recruit another BURGER or trade through funded liquidity.
The first eight BURGERS were reserved as inactive collectibles on Robinhood mainnet. Their portraits are public, free restaurant play is open, and the onchain economy is live. Players can discover BURGERS, put them to work, earn BUNS, recruit, use Auto-Shift, buy restaurant gear, and trade through the funded pool. Check the current contract addresses and launch status before using a wallet.
Discovery is optional. Your browser searches for a qualifying proof of work while you play. Searching is free and off by default. A proof becomes a BURGER only after you approve the ETH transaction in your wallet and the contract accepts it. Network gas is separate, and a reverted submission can still consume gas.
Discovery started at 0.0002 ETH and rises by 0.00004 ETH for each accepted discovery. Eight have already been discovered, so check the live price before paying. Recruitment does not raise the discovery price. There is no fixed supply cap. Your transaction carries the maximum price you accepted. A proof binds the chain, contract, challenge, recipient and nonce.
The base rate is 40 BUNS per second per working BURGER. The first eight reserved BURGERS triggered the first halving, leaving 20 BUNS per second per working BURGER at this population. A tradable collectible earns nothing. Putting it to work starts production from that point forward, keeps its portrait, provenance, roster record, owner and rent rights, and permanently disables transfers. It costs no Auto-Shift fee. The contract calculates production from onchain time, so no recurring heartbeat transaction is needed.
Future production halves when the total BURGER population reaches 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and each later doubling. Discoveries and recruitments both count. Every working BURGER moves to the new future rate, while BUNS already earned are preserved. Transfers and burns do not reset the population.
At a fixed rate, one working BURGER needs about 2 hours at population 8, 4 hours at 16, 8 hours at 32, 16 hours at 64 and 32 hours at 128 to produce one 144,000 BUNS recruitment burn. A larger working crew divides that time. Other mints can change the rate before an estimate completes. The ETH recruitment fee and network gas are separate.
BURGERS earn with or without Auto-Shift. Auto-Shift has Work Only and Auto-Compound policies. Auto-Compound settles eligible production, burns the exact BUNS cost, pays the authorized ETH recruitment fee, mints the BURGER to its owner, and can buy a permanent licence, put it to work and enroll it only when those actions are authorized. Owner limits cover crew size, recruitment count, BUNS, ETH, licences, gas, retained balances and expiry. Stop revokes future spending and withdraws unused customer funds.
Direct wallet actions pay network gas. Unattended execution uses customer deposits and capped gas reimbursement. Auto-Shift never receives your wallet key or permission to make arbitrary calls.
The permanently locked recruitment cost is 144,000 BUNS plus a 0.0002 ETH fee. Recruiting burns those BUNS and creates another BURGER in one transaction. If creation fails, the burn fails too. Earned BUNS and bought BUNS are the same token and pay the same cost.
The funded BUNS/ETH pool lets players buy or sell. Any BUNS holder may provide liquidity and receives provider shares owned by their address. Quotes can move. Trades use a minimum accepted output and a deadline. There is no guaranteed resale price or permanent liquidity.
BUNS has no enforced lifetime supply cap. Factory production can continue over time, subject to the population based rate schedule. The owner can also issue BUNS for liquidity seeding more than once. Operator-issued BUNS and BUNS earned by working BURGERS have separate onchain counters and events. The liquidity provider owns its pool shares and receives the pool fees attributable to those shares.
Eligible BURGER holders share funded rent from later ETH payments. If no BURGER is eligible, the 70% rent allocation goes to protocol liquidity. A BURGER earns no rent in its birth epoch. Unclaimed rent travels with the token when it is sold. The studio cannot withdraw rent owed to holders. The liquidity allocation is separate from studio revenue.
Rent depends on later payments. It can be zero. BUNS market value, work proceeds and recruitment returns are not promised.
