How it works

Everything on this page is enforced by the program on chain. Nothing here depends on the team keeping a promise.

One number, twice

There are 4,444 $METSUMI and 4,444 terminals. The supply is the collection. Every terminal that exists is a token that stopped existing.

The cap lives in the program: require!(index < supply_cap). Once 4,444 are hardwired the mint closes for good — and it cannot be reopened, because the config can no longer be closed or re-pointed once a single terminal exists.

Burn to hardwire

Burn 1 $METSUMI, receive 1 terminal. The token is burned on chain — not staked, not locked, not vesting. There is no path back: no unwrap, no redeem, no reroll.

• Cost: 1 $METSUMI + roughly 0.003 SOL of network rent for the NFT account.
• Up to 6 terminals per transaction. More than that and the transaction exceeds Solana's 1,232-byte limit, so larger batches are split automatically.
• If two people race for the last terminal, the loser's transaction fails whole — no token is burned on a failed attempt.

Born dark, ignited later

Every terminal is born dark and identical. ignite flips it to lit at a roll that was fixed before the collection ever opened:

The hash of the seed is published on chain at launch, before a single terminal is sold. The seed itself is revealed later. Anyone can then recompute every roll and check that nothing was rearranged — that is what makes the rarity verifiable rather than trusted.

Ignite is permissionless: anyone can pay to light any dark terminal. It only rewrites the metadata URI. It never moves the NFT, and your wallet stays the owner throughout. Up to 16 terminals can be ignited in one transaction.

Where the yield comes from

There are no emissions and no inflation. Terminals are paid from trading fees on $METSUMI, in $MET. If the coin stops trading, terminals stop earning. That is the whole mechanism, and it is worth understanding before you buy.

Each trade pays a fee in $MET. Meteora takes its protocol cut first. What remains is split between the platform and the creator side, and the creator side is what reaches terminals. So the share terminals receive is a portion of what is left after Meteora, not a portion of the headline fee — we would rather say that plainly than let a bigger-sounding number do the talking.

Nothing about this is discretionary. The split is set in the bonding curve's configuration on chain and cannot be changed afterwards by anyone, including us.

How it is divided

The holders' share is split among lit terminals held in a wallet — not among all 4,444. Three kinds of terminal are skipped:

• Dark terminals, until they are ignited.
• Terminals listed for sale. Listing on a marketplace moves the NFT into that marketplace's escrow, so the fee would land there rather than with you. Delisting restores it.
• Anything held by a program rather than a wallet.

Skipped shares are not burned — they are redistributed to everyone else that round. Fewer earning terminals means a larger share each; as more are ignited, each share settles lower. The split is self-balancing, and no yield figure is promised.

If you have never held $MET before, the payout needs an account to land in. That account is opened for you and paid for by the project, however small your first share is.

Secondary royalty

A 5% royalty is attached to the collection itself on chain, so every terminal inherits it automatically. Marketplaces read it from the chain rather than from a form.

Artwork and metadata are stored permanently on Arweave, paid for up front. Wallets and marketplaces read them straight from there, so a terminal carries its own art and traits wherever it goes.
