THE DIG

00TL;DR

THE DIG is a pay-to-mine fair launch for $VEIN. You pay ETH to dig a finite vein of tokens; how fast you mine is set by your hashrate = the ETH you pay × a Lindy multiplier derived from your wallet's on-chain history. When the vein is mined out, every bit of ETH that was paid in (minus a flat rake) is deployed as a Uniswap v2 pool and the LP tokens are burned — liquidity is locked forever, $VEIN starts trading, and the earliest, most-Lindy diggers are in at the lowest cost basis.

01The Vein

There is no countdown clock. Instead the vein holds a fixed 600,000 $VEIN of mineable ore (the other 400,000 is reserved for liquidity — see Graduation). Miners drain it; when the last nugget is pulled, the dig ends and the token launches.

The drain is participation-driven: the more total hashrate is digging, the faster the seam empties. This creates a real race — mine before it's gone — with no arbitrary timer.

02Mining

Two actions, both pay ETH and add hashrate:

• Plant a claim — stake() · ≥ 0.0001 ETH, any amount. Bulk hashrate.
• Swing the pickaxe — swing() · 0.0002 ETH fixed. Converts to hashrate 25% more efficiently than passive stake — the active grind is rewarded — and counts toward your swing tally.

Your share of every second of emission is your share of total hashrate. The whole seam drains at 28 × total hashrate $VEIN per second, so:

03Lindy — your wallet is your edge

The Lindy multiplier (1.00x – 2.50x) scales your hashrate by how real and seasoned your wallet is. The deeper your on-chain roots, the harder you dig — but everyone can play: fresh wallets mine at 1.00x, they're just slower. There is no gate.

Scores are computed by an off-chain scorer from public chain data and delivered as an EIP-712 signature you submit on-chain. The scoring code is public and deterministic — anyone can recompute any wallet's score and confirm the signer isn't playing favorites (verifiable, not trustless). The signer can only set a hashrate multiplier within [1.00x, 2.50x]; it can never touch the pool or your funds.

04Economics — where the ETH goes

Every payment is split on-chain, immutably:

The 80% accumulates in the contract and becomes the ETH side of the Uniswap pool at graduation. The 20% rake is the only thing the creator earns — there are no dev tokens, so the team can't dump on you.

It's a transparent, redistributive race: collectively, diggers receive a tradeable token + locked liquidity for their ETH; the upside comes when fresh demand buys into the pool. Early + high-Lindy diggers carry the lowest cost basis.

05Graduation — the launch

When the vein is mined out (or the 7-day backstop hits), anyone can call graduate(). The contract:

• Mints the reserved 400,000 $VEIN and pairs it with all the pooled ETH,
• creates the $VEIN / ETH Uniswap v2 pool,
• and sends the LP tokens to a burn address — liquidity is locked forever.

Because the LP is burned, the liquidity can never be pulled. This is the trust anchor of THE DIG.
