VRAM MINER DOCUMENTATION
The full protocol: hardware NFTs, the $VRAM token, the stake-to-mine mechanic, and where the project is headed.
OVERVIEW
VRAM MINER is a 5,090-unit pixel-art GPU mining hardware collection on Robinhood Mainnet. Every NFT is a piece of working hardware, not a static collectible — it carries a rarity tier, 8 hardware traits, VRAM capacity and a mining power stat. See /protocol for the full mint rules and mining-power formula.
This page documents the layer on top of that hardware: the project’s native token, $VRAM, and the stake-to-mine mechanic that lets a Miner NFT earn it daily.
$VRAM — THE NATIVE TOKEN
A utility token earned by staking hardware, not sold, not promised to appreciate, and not a security.
$VRAM is the reward token earned by staking a VRAM MINER NFT. It is separate from the in-game Mining Credits shown on /mine and /rig today — Mining Credits stay a purely cosmetic gameplay stat (cooling upgrades, overclock, leaderboard rank). $VRAM is the real, transferable token.
$VRAM is a utility and gameplay-progression token. It is not an investment, is not sold by this project, and carries no promise of yield, income, or future value.
STAKE & MINE
Stake a Miner NFT on the Mine page. $VRAM accrues daily, scaled by that unit's rarity tier.
Hold a VRAM MINER NFT in your wallet.
Lock the NFT into the staking contract from the Mining Console. The NFT stays provably yours — staking is a deposit, not a sale.
$VRAM accrues continuously per staked unit, at a rate set by that unit's rarity tier.
Claim accrued $VRAM to your wallet whenever you want — no lockup on claiming.
Unstake to get the NFT back to your wallet. Planned: no lockup period, unstaking stops future accrual immediately.
Fan count is a real, fixed trait on every minted unit — 1 fan (Common and Uncommon share the same fan count), 2 fans (Rare), 3 fans (Legendary), with zero exceptions across the collection. Rates are scaled proportionally to each rarity’s existing hash-rate stat (see /protocol) so they stay consistent with the rest of the protocol. These are the current design target for the staking contract, which has not been built or deployed yet — final numbers are tuned and locked at that point, not before.
ACCRUED($VRAM) = Σ over staked NFTs of (
DAILY_RATE(rarity) × (secondsStaked / 86400)
)
CLAIM: withdraw ACCRUED($VRAM) to wallet, resets accrual clock for that NFT
UNSTAKE: return NFT to wallet, stop future accrual for that NFTTOKENOMICS
Only the emission mechanic is finalized so far: $VRAM accrues to staked NFTs, at a rate that scales with rarity. Supply, allocation and listing details are decided and published when the token contract is actually built and deployed — this page will never state those as fact before they are.
ROADMAP
What's actually shipped vs. what's next — status reflects real progress, not a marketing timeline.
VramMiner.sol built: shared paid/free wallet cap, global 5-minute free-mint slot with a lifetime-one-per-wallet cap, multi-token payment support, fully on-chain metadata. Full test suite passing.
Deployed and Blockscout-verified on Robinhood Chain Testnet. Live two-wallet free-mint race tested end to end on real chain — exactly one winner, as designed.
Deploy VramMiner to Robinhood Chain (4663), verify on Blockscout, open minting to the public.
Connect the site to the deployed contract: real mint/claim transactions, live supply and free-mint-slot state, wallet-side error handling.
Deploy the $VRAM ERC-20 token and the staking contract described on this page. Stake-to-mine goes live on the Mine page.
$VRAM liquidity and exchange listings. Exact venues, timing, and allocation TBD — announced separately, not promised here.
IMPORTANT NOTES
VRAM MINER is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Robinhood. Mining Credits are a gameplay and progression utility — not an investment, yield, or income product. $VRAM, once deployed, is a utility and staking-reward token — it is not sold by this project, is not an investment, and carries no promise of income, yield, or future value. Rarity-based rewards described on this page are current design targets for a contract that has not been built or deployed; they are not live and not guaranteed until that contract ships and is verified onchain. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
