Sheep make the WOOL.
Wolves are watching the pasture.

R1 Sheep earn WOOL

A sheep grows 2,000 WOOL a day from the moment it is born, in your own wallet — there is no staking. WOOL it has grown and not yet collected stays with the sheep, so whoever buys the sheep buys the pile too. Bringing it home takes a forage run: a 1-in-5 chance per sheep of being caught — gone for good, whole pile to the wolves. Survivors pay you 80% and the wolves a 20% toll. Sending no sheep at all is a legal run: it just collects what your wolves are owed.

R2 Wolves live off the sheep — the dividends

One birth in ten is a wolf, and a wolf's tier is fixed for life:

Wolves split three pots between them, pro-rata by tier weight. One: the whole piles of caught sheep. Two: the 20% toll on every load that makes it home. Three: the wolves' cut of official-pool trade taxes — 1% of every buy and 1% of every sell, paid in WOOL. A Tier 8 eats 1.6 times what a Tier 5 eats. Dividends are claimed by hand, per wolf or all at once — they are never airdropped, and a wolf sold mid-way settles its pending dividends to the seller, so the buyer starts clean.

Wolves also raid the cradle: once any wolf is on the treeline, every newborn has a 1-in-10 chance of being snatched, bigger tiers more likely to be the one who pounces. The newborn goes to whoever owned that wolf when the batch settles. The mint fee is still paid.

R3 How much WOOL there is

There will never be more than 2,000,000,000 WOOL. Of that, 1,995,000,000 can only ever be earned by sheep. The remaining 5,000,000 is the pool seed: minted into the pool when it opens, sized by the accumulated reserve at the 0.00002 HYPE opening anchor and never more than that 5,000,000 cap. Zero belongs to the team or the project. Burned WOOL never comes back. If your wallet shows 0 WOOL, nothing is broken — your sheep have not started earning yet: minting buys animals, and the token enters the world only through play, apart from the pool seed created inside the mint that sells #3,333.

R4 Nobody rigs the dice

Every birth and every forage run is drawn from the hash of a future block — a block that does not exist yet when you act. The moment your mint or run lands, the contract locks in a block 13 blocks ahead; when that block is mined, its hash settles everything: sheep or wolf, which tier, whether a newborn is snatched, and which foraging sheep come home. At the moment you pay, that block has not been written, so nobody can know the result — not you, not us, not a bot watching the chain. There is no outside randomness service: the draw is pure chain state, and anyone can recompute it afterwards. Settling is a separate step anyone may call once the seed block lands. If a batch somehow sits unsettled past the chain's memory for old block hashes (256 blocks), that hash reads as zero and settles nothing; anyone may then re-lock the batch to a fresh future block under the exact same rule — a result nobody has seen yet can be re-locked, a result that exists can never be re-rolled. The contracts have no owner; the only switch that ever existed is a one-time launch call that opens the sale and can never close it.

R5 Prices, slots and the pool

One price for every player — no discounts, no free animals, and no identity gate of any kind: any wallet on Elysium can mint. Gen 0 costs 0.025 HYPE up to #1,111, 0.0375 to #3,333, 0.05 to #6,666 and 0.0625 to #11,111; an order crossing a step pays each animal its own price. Each wallet holds 10 lifetime Gen 0 mint slots and a net cap of 10 animals; selling or gifting an animal does not free its slot.

20% of every payment goes to the treasury. The other 80% of the first 3,333 sales opens the WOOL pool inside the mint that sells #3,333 — HYPE paired with WOOL at a 0.00002 HYPE anchor, LP tokens to the dead address. After that, the 80% buys WOOL back from the pool and burns it, a little at a time: never more than 1% of the pool's HYPE reserve per call. If sales stall before #3,333, anyone may open the pool 14 days after the first mint once 1,000 have sold — or 60 days after the first mint, with any number sold.

Trading WOOL on the official pool is taxed; moving it wallet to wallet is free. A buy pays 2% — 1% to the wolves, 1% to the treasury. A sell pays 3% — 1% burned, 1% to the wolves, 1% to the treasury. Every leg is paid in WOOL, and the rates are constants baked into the token contract with no setters.

Gen 1: once Gen 0 is gone, 11,111 more animals, bought with WOOL that is burned in full — 4,000 each up to #1,111, then 6,000, 8,000 and 10,000. Same 10-per-wallet caps, same dice, same absence of any gate.
