Moonarch
The man in the moon is not a man.
You have been looking at them your whole life. 6,666 keepers, one square of the moon each — the face up there is just how the crowd happens to be standing. Every pixel of them is cut into the contract itself, and the light is not automatic. Someone has to keep it lit.
Build a keeper
Every pixel below is decoded live from the same bytes the contract stores — 302 traits across twelve layers. Nothing here is a mock-up.

Six things the contract does
None of these are metadata flips. Each one is contract state that changes what the renderer draws.
Reroll
Pay a fee, reroll one trait slot — and the trait you left behind is permanently retired from the collection’s weight table. Supply of that trait drops for everyone, forever.
Rerolling takes two transactions: the first pays the fee and retires the old trait, the second settles the outcome against a block that did not exist when you paid. Nothing readable at the moment of payment decides the result, so there is no draw to probe and reject.
Holding is a shift
Keeping the moon lit is a job, and the rota is how it gets paid. Two streams, neither of them a yield — and the NFT never leaves your wallet. Standing is a record in the contract, not an escrow.
A share of the trading
The 10% royalty can be pointed straight at the rota, so secondary sales fund the people standing on the squares rather than a treasury wallet. There is no emission behind it: if the collection does not trade, the rota pays nothing, and it says so rather than quoting a number it cannot produce.
fees do not stream out as they arrive. they settle into a reserve, and the reserve only pours as the moon lights.
A wage for time served
Accrued per block, in proportion to weight, from a budget that can never be topped up. The supply cap is immutable, the rota is the only address that may mint, and when the allocation is spent the wage stops. Nothing inflates to keep it going.
the other 2,800,000 (25%) is the liquidity reserve, minted once in the token’s constructor and never again. every token that will ever exist is one of those two.
Full moon
The moon is 8/8 lit, so this phase releases 8/8 of the reserve to everyone standing.
nobody triggers this and nobody can stop it — the phase is block.number / phaseBlocks % 8, the same clock the renderer already draws from.
What a shift is worth
then multiplied by rarity — 1.00× to 2.00× by how many of a token’s traits sit under 2% of their slot. Rarity scales what a keeper has earned; it never replaces it.
the rota pays from trading fees and a fixed wage budget only. if there is no trading, there is no USDC to pay. a digital collectible, not an investment product.
Be there when the light goes on
There is no list to get on and nothing to grind for. No task here earns a place, because places are not handed out — so the only thing worth doing in advance is knowing when it opens.
Everything gets announced in one place. Follow it, or do not — it changes nothing about what you can mint.
