The Science of Fair Randomness

⏰

The Trigger

When the discovery period ends, anyone can trigger the VRF request. The blockchain knows it's time.

🎲

The Randomness

Chainlink VRF (Base/Arbitrum) or Switchboard (Solana) generates a random number that nobody can predict or manipulate.

💎

The Discovery

The random number determines how many tokens are discovered within the preset range. Smart contracts mint exactly this amount.

This process is 100% on-chain and verifiable by anyone

Discovery Questions Answered

Can discoveries be predicted? ▼
No. VRF ensures complete randomness that can't be gamed or predicted by anyone, including the team.
What if no one triggers discovery? ▼
Rewards accumulate and wait. The next trigger gets their 10% fee, and holders get their accumulated shares.
Why different cycles for each metal? ▼
Matches real-world properties. Gold = patient value, Platinum = ultra-rare, Silver = high velocity.
How is this different from regular token emissions? ▼
Regular emissions are predictable. Discoveries are random events, creating excitement and fair distribution.
