About

PYRE is a 90‑second mining game on Robinhood Chain. Put ETH on squares of a 5×5 grid; one square wins, and the miners on it take the ETH from the other 24 plus the round's PYRE.

Intro

Every round lasts 90 seconds: 60 seconds of betting, then a 30‑second reveal in which a public random beacon picks the winning square. The ETH on the 24 losing squares (minus the protocol fee) and the round's PYRE emission are shared by the miners on the winning square in proportion to their stake. Nobody on the winner? The pot and the PYRE roll into the next round.

PYRE has a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000. The grid pays rewards from a reserve the team funded at launch; the reserve is public, on chain, and can be topped up at any time.

Mining

Bet any amount on any number of squares. Cover more squares to win more often; concentrate to win bigger. Your first bet includes a one‑time 0.0001 ETH account deposit.
Winning pays out pro‑rata: your share of the pot equals your share of the ETH on the winning square. Half of all rounds are solo: one miner on the winning square, drawn weighted by stake, takes the whole pot.
Claiming is yours to do whenever. ETH and PYRE from a won round arrive together. Claiming refines the PYRE: a 10% refining fee is redistributed to miners who have not claimed yet (patience pays) — or claim into a permanent vePYRE lock and pay no fee at all.
Emission is 2,000 PYRE per round to the winning square, streamed by the protocol hub from its reserve. Each round also moves 8% to the team vault and 4% to the growth vault from the same reserve.

Protocol miner

A protocol wallet named PYRE Protocol mines quiet rounds so there is always a pot: when a round has little on the board, it places a small bet on random squares. Same fee, same odds, same claims as everyone else.

Payload

The Payload is a jackpot funded by 2% of every wager. With 1‑in‑625 odds each round it drops whole on the winning square, ETH and PYRE, on top of the normal pot.

Fees

12% protocol fee on every wager: 7% to vePYRE stakers in ETH, 2% to the Payload, 3% buys PYRE on the open market and burns it — automatically, every time enough ETH has accumulated.
10% refining fee when claiming PYRE, redistributed to unclaimed miners (waived for permanent locks).

Staking

Lock PYRE into vePYRE, an NFT, and receive ETH every round: 7% of everything wagered on the grid, split by weight. Weight grows with lock length — from 1x for a short lock to 2.5x for four months — and permanent locks weigh 4x forever, but can never be withdrawn. Rewards accrue per round and are yours to claim whenever.

Token

ERC‑20 on Robinhood Chain, fixed supply 1,000,000,000 PYRE, launched on v4.fun with locked liquidity.
Mining reserve: 200,000,000 PYRE in the hub, paid out at 2,000 per round (plus the 8% / 4% allocations). Team vault: 20,000,000, locked as permanent vePYRE.
Trading happens in the token's Uniswap V4 pool. The Trade page routes through the protocol's own router.

Randomness

Winning squares come from the drand random beacon. When betting closes, the contract pins a future beacon round that does not exist yet; once drand publishes it, anyone can submit the beacon and the contract verifies its BLS signature on chain against drand's public key. Nobody — not the team, not a keeper — can choose or bias the result, and every draw is verifiable on chain.

Autominer

Fund a plan with ETH, choose the squares and the amount per round, and the keeper places your bets every round while you sleep. Winnings can recycle into the plan. Stop any time and withdraw what is left. The keeper is reimbursed gas plus a small premium from the plan.
