Its canonical character idea is simple: > **Alpha and Omega produce genetically related Wisps; ten recorded Wisps converge into one genetically traceable Fantom.** Its campaign distribution uses two distinct routes: > **Creators earn soulbound MARK and spend 100 MARK for a Creator Egg. Verified Swaymark users may separately mint a Direct Egg for 0.004 ETH on Robinhood Chain. The two capped inventories remain economically separate.** ### Character hierarchy | Stage | Character origin | Recorded lineage | Premium utility when consumed | | ------ | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | | Alpha | Founder from a fixed 500-character collection | No parents | Lifetime | | Omega | Founder from a fixed 500-character collection | No parents | Lifetime | | Wisp | Biological child of one Alpha and one Omega | Both parent token IDs and inherited-trait origins | Monthly | | Fantom | Genetic convergence of ten specific Wisps | All ten contributor IDs and evolved-trait origins | Yearly | Every Alpha and Omega founder has a unique reviewed image and immutable genome. The two founder types have equal utility and economic power. Visual rarity changes collectibility only—it never creates stronger Premium utility. ### Lineage and utility flow ```mermaid flowchart TD A["Alpha founder"] --> P["60-day Attic pairing"] O["Omega founder"] --> P P --> W["2 sibling Wisps with different inherited combinations"] W --> M["Consume 1 Wisp for Monthly Premium"] W --> C["Converge 10 specific Wisps"] C --> F["1 traceable Fantom"] F --> Y["Consume for Yearly Premium"] A --> L["Consume for Lifetime Premium"] O --> L ``` The ten Wisps used in convergence are burned. The Fantom genome records every contributor, while its six visible anatomy traits are evolved combinations rather than ten characters pasted together. ### MARK and Ghost Egg flow MARK is a soulbound Swaymark campaign point. During the 30-day campaign it has one use only: Creator Egg redemption. ```mermaid flowchart TD A["Join Swaymark with a verified account"] --> B{"Choose a route"} B -->|"Creator Reward route"| C["Approved contribution"] C --> D["MARK awarded the following day"] D --> E["Spend 100 MARK"] E --> F["Creator Egg from the $20K Reward Pool"] B -->|"Direct mint route"| G["Pay 0.004 ETH on Robinhood Chain"] G --> H["Direct Egg from a separate capped pool"] F --> I["Final reveal"] H --> I I --> J["Alpha, Omega, Wisp, or Fantom"] ``` Every successful Creator Egg redemption or Direct Egg mint produces a real NFT, and there are no empty Eggs. The $20,000 product-reference allocation applies only to MARK-funded Creator Eggs. Direct Eggs use a separate supply, separately published odds, and are not eligible for the January creator buyback. The maximum award is 50 MARK per validated creator per day. The fastest possible route to a Creator Egg is therefore two awarded days, but every award remains subject to contribution quality and the fixed daily pool. See MARK and Ghost Eggs for the complete campaign principle. ### Robinhood Chain deployment The Ghost Economy will operate on **Robinhood Chain**. * Creator Reward Eggs remain redeemable for 100 MARK. * A Direct Egg is minted for **0.004 ETH on Robinhood Chain**. * Ghost character ownership, Egg minting, The Attic, Wisp convergence, Premium consumption, and marketplace settlement use the Robinhood Chain deployment. * Paid Ghost marketplace transactions settle in ETH. * The mint interface must show the selected network, the 0.004 ETH mint amount, the estimated network fee, and the total required wallet balance before confirmation. The 0.004 ETH amount is denominated in ETH, not fixed in US dollars. Its USD equivalent may change with the ETH market price. ### Current Premium prices | Premium tier | Current price | | ------------- | ------------: | | Monthly | $4.99 | | Yearly | $49 | | Lifetime Pass | $499 | {% hint style="info" %} **Utility hierarchy:** Alpha/Omega = Lifetime • Wisp = Monthly • Fantom = Yearly. {% endhint %} ### Character documentation * Character genetics and traits * Mint, reveal and art provenance * The Attic * Wisps and Fantoms * MARK and Ghost Eggs * Cifer Access Auction ### Why holding matters **Hold it. Pair it. Evolve it. List it. Or redeem it.** Holding an unconsumed character preserves its available options: | Stage | Options preserved while eligible | | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Alpha or Omega | Hold, list for sale, pair in The Attic, consume for Lifetime Premium, or use the January creator buyback when Creator Reward origin is eligible | | Wisp | Hold, list, enter convergence, join the Access Auction, consume for Monthly Premium, or use the January creator buyback when Creator Reward origin is eligible | | Fantom | Hold, list, join the Access Auction, use future proposed reproduction, consume for Yearly Premium, or use the January creator buyback when Creator Reward origin is eligible | Once the Cifer Marketplace is live, every owner will be able to list an eligible, unconsumed, unlocked character for sale. A completed ordinary marketplace sale still requires a buyer or a winning Access Auction offer. ### January creator buyback The voluntary January buyback applies only to eligible characters revealed from MARK-funded Creator Eggs. Direct Eggs minted for 0.004 ETH on Robinhood Chain are excluded. Cifer plans to open the window early enough for every accepted creator-buyback transaction to be completed no later than **31 January 2027**. The program may include Alpha, Omega, Wisp, and Fantom characters from the Creator Reward Pool. Holders may instead preserve the character for collection, lineage, Premium redemption, Access Auction participation where applicable, or marketplace sale. The final price or pricing formula, funding, settlement method, submission deadline, and eligibility procedure will be published before the window opens. Until those terms are published, the plan is not a guaranteed floor, return, or promise to purchase at a holder-selected price. ### Web2 demand can reach holders The proposed Cifer Access Auction connects ordinary subscriptions to the character market. A Web2 subscription always activates, but Cifer conditionally purchases the cheapest eligible Wisp or Fantom only when its cost is at or below Cifer's maximum bid. If the market is more expensive, no purchase occurs and Cifer keeps the subscription revenue. Purchased characters are consumed for the matching Premium entitlement, removing them from active circulation and paying the winning seller through the marketplace settlement. The Access Auction is separate from the January Creator Reward buyback. The auction is ongoing, competitive, and price-capped; the buyback is a time-bound voluntary program limited to eligible MARK-funded Creator Reward characters. Direct Egg characters are excluded. ### Proposed Fantom reproduction A Fantom may eventually create a Wisp through a separate, much slower, capped mechanism. It is not active and is excluded from current supply calculations. > Fantom reproduction is a proposed slow-cycle Wisp creation mechanism. Final eligibility, cooldown, fees and seasonal limits will be announced before activation. {% hint style="warning" %} The Ghost Economy is a proposed launch model. Subscription prices are product-reference values, not guaranteed NFT prices or market floors. The program is not a promise of profit, income, liquidity, or resale value. {% endhint %} ### Strategic objectives * Turn community participation into product discovery and NFT ownership. * Let quality creators progress toward a real Egg without favoring raw follower count. * Create meaningful characters with permanent, inspectable lineage. * Give contributors access products with clear utility. * Keep Lifetime access exclusive to the fixed original Alpha/Omega supply. * Create a memorable path from founders to monthly Wisps and yearly Fantoms. * Convert Swaymark participation into Cifer accounts, product use, and qualified buyers. * Keep every issued MARK backed by sufficient Creator Egg capacity and keep Direct inventory separate. * Keep founder supply fixed while controlling Wisp, Fantom, and future reproductive output. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
