The grid

3,333 helmets on Elysium. A helmet's number is its place in the mint. #1 costs 0.05 HYPE, #3,333 costs 1 HYPE, and every number in between costs a little more than the one before it. Any HYPE you send above the price comes back in the same transaction.

Where the HYPE goes

70 % of the price goes into the helmet's own tank. 15 % is shared in equal parts by every helmet already on the grid. 15 % goes to the builder in the same transaction. Helmet #1 keeps the grid share in its own tank, since nobody else is on the grid yet.

The tank

The tank holds HYPE, one for one, and it only grows while the helmet lives. Refuel it at any time: 2 % of a refuel is the fee, half to the grid and half to the builder. Retire the helmet and its holder takes the HYPE in the tank and the unclaimed grid share. The helmet burns, and its number is never used again.

The grid share

Every new helmet pays 15 % of its price to the helmets already on the grid. The share waits in each helmet until its holder claims it, and it moves with the helmet when the helmet is sold.

The podium

The three biggest tanks wear gold, silver and bronze, and the picture changes with them. Until someone refuels, the newest helmets hold the biggest tanks, because the price climbs.

Rookies

Rookie helmets are free, one for each wallet, 3,333 in all, with an empty tank. Fill a rookie at the current price and it takes the next grid number.

Limits

Up to three grid helmets for each wallet, filled rookies included.

Royalties

The contract asks 5 % of a sale through ERC-2981 and names itself as the receiver. Whatever a marketplace pays lands in the contract and goes half to the grid and half to the builder. No marketplace is forced to pay it.

The art

Every helmet is drawn on chain: 12 paints, 16 liveries, 8 visors, 32 strip words, gloss or matte. The mint transaction fixes the look. The owner can point the collection at a new renderer until the art is frozen; prices, tanks and shares never depend on it.
