THE SPECIFICATION

Being a full and exact description of the TICKERS machine and its economy.

Art. I — The Coin

$TAPE is a single fungible coin of fixed supply, 1,000,000,000, minted on Robinhood Chain. It is the only way in. No presale, no allocation, no second coin.

Art. II — The Wind (burn-to-mint)

Winding a ticker converts coin into machine. Each wind burns 300,000 $TAPE permanently and pays a 0.02 ETH surcharge. The burn is executed inside the wind instruction itself — the transaction is all-or-nothing, so the coin is destroyed before the machine exists. Only 3,333 tickers will ever be wound; a full fleet retires 999,900,000 $TAPE — essentially the entire supply reduced to machines.

WIND = BURN 300,000 $TAPE + 0.02 ETH → TICKER No. N (PERMANENT, TRANSFERABLE, PRINTING)

Art. III — The Pot

All revenue converges on one pot:

80% of $TAPE creator fees (20% keeps the lights on),
0.018 ETH of every 0.02 ETH wind surcharge,
100% of secondary-market royalties.

The moment the pot clears 0.05 ETH, it is spent — all of it, in one purchase.

Art. IV — The Rotation

The pot buys Robinhood Chain tokenized equities in a fixed twelve-stop rotation, then returns to the top:

Stop	Asset	Stop	Asset
1	NVDA — NVIDIA	7	MSTR — Strategy
2	AAPL — Apple	8	HOOD — Robinhood
3	TSLA — Tesla	9	COIN — Coinbase
4	SPY — S&P 500	10	NFLX — Netflix
5	GME — GameStop	11	GLD — Gold
6	PLTR — Palantir	12	TAPE — buyback & burn

Stop twelve buys $TAPE itself and burns it, closing the loop: the machines' own dividend wheel shrinks the coin that builds the machines.

Art. V — The Print (distribution)

Each purchase is divided equally per machine — not proportionally to anything. Ticker No. 1 and Ticker No. 3,333 receive the same print. Deliveries into each machine's vault are permissionless: one transaction per machine, and anybody may trigger them. Assets sit in the vault until the bearer withdraws.

Art. VI — Why it works

Deflation with a purpose: every machine costs 300,000 $TAPE of dead supply.
Real assets on the tape: the pot buys stocks, not promises.
Flat prints: no whale math — one machine, one share.
The twelfth stop: the wheel itself buys and burns the coin.

Art. VII — Provenance

The mechanism descends from QUOTRONS on Robinhood Chain (4,444 ERC-404 terminals) by way of OTC Desks on Solana (5,000 desks). TICKERS reaches one machine further back: Edison's Universal Stock Ticker, 1871 — the first machine that ever printed a price. The lineage is honored; the works are our own.
