YOU CAN’T BUY
A SHOVEL.
YOU DIG ONE.

Pixel shovels on Arc. No mint button. Your machine finds a hash, you pay 8.88 USDC and pull one of 7,707 out of the hole.

SEE THE PIT

Hasher is not open. When it is, the tab is capped so it does not melt the phone. Farms will still be faster. USDC is the gate.

01 DIG

Not open. Hasher then USDC. No pay-only button.

02 RENT

Later. Later holes pay earlier IDs. Not on this page until it is on.

03 DIRT

$DIRT on Argus Portal #7. Grey until TGE. Not a homemade hook.

04 BURN

DirtSink, when it has inventory. Unlock first if it is staked. Not today.

THE GPU DOES NOT DRAW THE PIXELS

Art is cut from trait layers before anyone digs. Your tab hunts a hash. First inclusion wins. You pay USDC. The hash buys the ticket — it does not grow a unique AI shovel.

keccak256(puzzle ‖ miner ‖ nonce) ≤ threshold. Puzzle is the block. Soft at open so a tab can land a ticket.

THE PRICE BANDS

8.88 → 16.66 → 28.88 USDC. Plan on phase 1. Phase 3 is most of a full-curve raise and must not be the budget.

THE HOLE, ON PAPER.

Locked product facts. Not a whitepaper. Not a yield forecast. Hasher is not open. The Pit is the toy. 7,707 shovels when dig is on.

WHAT THIS IS

Everyone on Arc is selling shovels. These are the shovels that dig. 7,707 pixel shovel NFTs on Arc. Your machine finds a hash. You pay USDC. You pull one out of the hole.

WHAT THIS IS NOT
Not a pad. No fee switch. No points.
Not official Circle / Arc. Adjacent palette. That’s it.
Not a vault. Rent and stake stay off this page.
Not yield. No floor. No $DIRT screenshot.
Not live mint. START DIGGING is soon. Count is 0.
Not GPU art. The hash buys the ticket. It does not draw the pixels.
Not a prize pit. Depth does not mint. Depth does not whitelist.
Not 1/wallet fairness. Farms are faster. USDC + 1 per wallet is the ration.
HOW YOU DIG

No pay-only mint button. Proof first. Failed dig reverts. Exact USDC. One shovel per wallet. Hasher is not open yet.

  1. Connect on Arc.
  2. The tab hashes. CPU default. GPU is flavour. The tab is capped so phones do not melt.
  3. Valid ticket: keccak256(puzzle ‖ miner ‖ nonce) ≤ threshold. Puzzle is the Arc block (short window). It refreshes every block — not after a successful dig.
  4. Submit dig(nonce) plus the phase price in USDC.
  5. Contract re-checks the proof, takes USDC, mints the next ID.
  6. Two valid tickets on the same puzzle: first inclusion wins. The page retries on the new block.
  7. Reveal: shared dirt JSON until mint, then that ID’s shovel.

Open difficulty 20 bits. +1 only at 2,222 and 4,444. Soft enough that a tab can land a ticket. Farms still win. Do not read that as “laptop wins.”

THE PRICE BANDS

Three bands. No 500-slot early hole. No whitelist price. Proof still required. 8.88 → 16.66 → 28.88 USDC. You dig first.

Phase 1
8.88
1–2,222 · 2,222 shovels
Phase 2
16.66
2,223–4,444 · 2,222 shovels
Phase 3
28.88
4,445–7,707 · 3,263 shovels

Rent, if it ever turns on, starts at ID 2,222 (or a one-way flip earlier). 70% of later claims to earlier living IDs, pull-to-claim USDC. 30% treasury. Not on the buy path today.

THE GPU DOES NOT DRAW THE PIXELS

Art is cut from trait layers before anyone digs. Master is 64×64, nearest-neighbour only, three or four shades per material. One master shovel so parts line up. Looks are unique-ish, not 7,707 one-of-ones.

Layers: background, dirt, blade, handle, extra. Reserved 1/1s are hand-set sheets, not rolled. If that ID is minted, the URI is still the reserved shovel.

#1#7#77#111#222#333#444#555#666#777#1111#1234#2222#4444#5555#6666#7000#7707

Unrevealed: one dirt pile. After dig: that ID’s JSON. Full folder published before mainnet. No metadata server as source of truth after pin.

THE PIT

Press, hold, aim, release. One shovel bouncing down a five-block well. Dirt 1 · stone 2 · rust 3. Hits and bounces wear durability. Snaps, or stalls on bedrock. Depth in metres. Cap 77.07 m.

No wallet. No airdrop. Best stays in this browser. Share is a tweet intent. Save image is a PNG from the tab. Depth does not mint a shovel and does not buy a whitelist.

Banner until TGE: Upgrades when $DIRT is live. Do not farm it. There is nothing to farm.

LATER. NOT TODAY.
01 DIG

The product. Hasher + USDC claim. Not open.

02 RENT

Later holes pay earlier IDs in USDC. Pull-to-claim on the NFT. Off this page until it is on.

03 DIRT

$DIRT is born on Argus Portal #7. Factory birth. Cannot list later. NFT + PoW stay off Argus. Grey until TGE.

04 BURN

Two burns, do not mix. Argus buyback burns $DIRT. Burning a shovel is ours: DirtSink, rent gone, optional $DIRT if inventory exists. Not promised until redeem is live.

05 STAKE

Lock 7 / 30 / 90 days. Share of what already hit the stake contract. Nothing minted. No APY on this page. Unlock first if you want to burn.
