BEDROCK · a mining game that pays in stock

4,096 Rigs, then never again

24 Trait combinations

5 Tiers, merged not minted

6 h One shift · four a day

01The rig

A machine you own, bound to a ticker, working a clock you did not set.

02The floor

Everyone digs the same seam, and the pool splits by what each rig pulled.

03The trade

Digging a lot is not the game. Digging more per token burned is.

The control room

Three screens off the floor.

Not renders of a pitch. Each one is the simulated economy running: the seam being worked, the press forging a tier, and the mint burning what a rig costs.

The floors

Six tickers, three seams.

NVDA

NVIDIA Corporation. The widest swings on the map, which is what a Volatile seam is cut for and what a Contrarian rig sits out.

Volatile seam

TSLA

Tesla, Inc. The other swinger. Quiet stretches broken by days that move the whole floor at once.

Volatile seam

MSFT

Microsoft Corporation. The flattest tape of the six, which is the calm a Steady rig is paid for.

Dense seam

GOOGL

Alphabet Inc. Class A. Deep and slow, so the seam runs a long way down before it thins out.

Dense seam

AAPL

Apple Inc. Constantly worked and constantly crowded, which is good for a Swarm rig and bad for everyone waiting for quiet.

Surface seam

AMZN

Amazon.com, Inc. High volume, small moves, and the busiest floor on a normal day.

Surface seam

Real tokenized equities on Robinhood Chain, two floors to a seam. The six token addresses are printed in full on the rules page and none of them are ours. Ticker symbols and company names identify third-party tokenized equities; Bedrock is not affiliated with these companies, or with Robinhood Markets, Inc., and none of them have endorsed this.

What you earn

Everyone digs against the same baseline.

1.28× is what a plain tier-I rig gets back for every unit of $GRIT it burns, in the simulated economy. Unlike the tier and trait tables, this one is not derived from anything else on the site: it is an output of the simulation, and it moves when the floor does. The field notes show the runs it came out of.

It is a starting line, not a payout, and the floor keeps improving, so a rig that never does drifts under it.

Beating the baseline is the game. The floor prints your number next to that line every shift, including the shifts you come out under it.

01 Traders swap

Every trade of $GRIT pays a fee.

02 The pool fills

Half of that fee funds the reward pool. It comes from traders, not from the next player in.

03 Ore splits it

Pro-rata by what each rig dug. Your share is a race against the rest of the floor.

04 You are paid in stock

Tokenized stock, whatever your rig was bound to. Or ETH, if you would rather.

Read this before you buy anything

A shift pays out the same amount whether one rig works it or a thousand. When few rigs are running each one earns a great deal, and when many are running each one earns little. Early is worth more than late here, by a wide margin. That is deliberate, and it is also the honest warning: the returns in the first days are not the returns the game settles at.

The clock

Four shifts a day, and none of them are yours.

Fixed blocks on UTC: 00‑06, 06‑12, 12‑18, 18‑24. A rig works a shift only if you bought that shift for it. Buy one, or buy several ahead so it keeps working while you sleep.

The night block never moves, which makes it the only thing on this page you can plan perfectly.

How it works

Five things, in this order.

01 Bind

Point a rig at a ticker. That stock sets its pace.

02 Buy shifts

Four a day, fixed. Buy the ones you want worked, paid up front in $GRIT.

03 Dig

It works the shifts you bought whether the tab is open or not.

04 Merge

Two of the same tier press into one of the next, at +18% ore per token.

05 Settle

The ore pays out as tokenized stock, in whatever it was bound to.

The rigs

The sprite is the token.

No separate artwork. What you buy is the object that runs on your floor, and its three traits are painted on the chassis.

Cycle is the finish, draw is the exhaust stacks, seam is the wear. They change when and where a rig digs well, never how much of the pool it wins for free: every upside carries a matching downside. Tier is the one thing nothing rolls.

Each one pays off on a condition you can read: which shift it is, how busy the floor is, how calm the stock is.

Tiers

Merging changes the machine, not just a number.

4 tier-I rigs went into it

IV A braced frame

8 tier-I rigs went into it

V A core that glows

Ore: 46×
Grit: 23×

16 tier-I rigs went into it

The press

Two go in. One comes out.

Two rigs of the same tier press into one of the next, digging 18% more ore for every token it burns than the pair it replaced, and it gives you a bay back.

The figure depends on the pair, the floor and the shift, so the game does that sum for your exact two rigs before you press. You gave up a rig you paid for. That is the trade.

Merging is free. There is no fee to forge a tier, on chain or anywhere else, and there is no date it unlocks.

Only while it is standing still

Buying shifts puts a rig to work immediately, and a working rig cannot be merged, sold or moved until its run is over and claimed. A rig digging this week is a rig you cannot climb with this week.

The payout

Ore settles as real tokenized stock.

The same stock tokens that settle on this chain around the clock, weekends included. Not points, not a claim on a future airdrop. The token book is thin, though, so a claim in stock will often fail to fill: every rig has a button that takes ETH instead, and it is not hidden in a menu.

The question is never “did I dig a lot”. It is “did I dig more per token burned than everyone else”.

Bays

Dig the room, then fill it

Rigs never shrink to fit. When you own more than the room holds, you dig another bay: the floor grows instead of squeezing what is in it.

Floors

Six tickers, no invented names

NVDA, TSLA, MSFT, GOOGL, AAPL and AMZN. Real stock tokens on Robinhood Chain, two to a seam so no seam is stranded. The six addresses are printed on the rules page, and none of them are ours.

Keeper

Nobody can freeze the mine

Shifts are rolled by a keeper. If the keeper stops, rollStale opens to everybody two hours later. Anyone can push the mine forward. The game does not depend on us being awake.

The $GRIT token

We don’t mint it. The launchpad does.

$GRIT comes into existence on a public launchpad and that is the only way it comes into existence: no presale, no private round, no allocation table. We can’t hand out a supply we never held. Liquidity is locked by the launchpad, not by us.

Everything the game does with grit — burning it, metering it, crediting it — lives in our own contracts. The token stays dumb on purpose.

There is no address yet

$GRIT is not deployed. There is no contract address to give you, and any address you are sent under this name is not ours. When it exists it will appear here and on the account, and nowhere else first.

The mint price curve

What happens next

The token comes first. The mint comes after it. The floor has no date.

There was a signup box here that sent your address precisely nowhere, so it is gone until it can do what it says. There is nothing to join: when the mint opens, the only door is the mint page, and after that the secondary market. Every number on this page is one you can go and check yourself in about a minute.

Not deployed $GRIT token No address, and none will be invented.

Not open The rig mint 4,096, priced by mint number alone.

No date The floor The contract holding the calendar is not deployed, so there is no day written anywhere.

Where this actually stands

Built in the open.

The rigs above are the real sprites and every rate comes out of the simulation. The six floors are real stock tokens deployed on Robinhood Chain and their addresses are published, but the rates on this page are sample values and not quotes, and the numbers will change. Everything worth knowing is in one place here rather than sprinkled through the argument.

Token: $GRIT is not deployed. When it launches it will be on a public launchpad, paired with ETH, liquidity locked by the launchpad and not by us. One address, published here first.
Rig mint: Not open. 4,096 rigs. Price is a function of the mint number and nothing else: #1 costs 24,000 GRIT, every mint after it costs 6 more, and the last costs 48,570. Every token that arrives is burned on the spot — 148,623,360 out of a one billion supply.
The floor: Not open, and no date. The contract that holds the calendar is not deployed, so there is no day written anywhere and we will not name one.
Liquidity: Thin, and this is the number to argue with us about. Across the whole chain, 24 stock tokens have moved at all, over roughly 313 transfers. All six floors point at contracts that exist; that is not the same as a market you can sell into. A claim in stock is a swap against that book and will often fail to fill, so the ETH payout is the one doing the work until the book deepens. It may not.
Rewards today: Play money in a prototype. A shift here settles every two minutes so a week of the real design fits in an evening.
Fees: A pool fee plus a creator fee on every swap. Half the creator fee goes to the reward pool and half to us, split by a contract with no owner and no way to change where the money goes, including by us.
Royalty: 4% on secondary sales, declared in the contract under the standard every marketplace reads.
Chain: Robinhood Chain
Official account: @Bedrockmine_ on X, and nowhere else. There is no Telegram, no Discord and no other handle. Anything else using this name is not us.
This page: Not financial advice, not an offer, not a promise of a return. You can lose money: grit is spent before the payout is known, and a shift can cost more than it pays.
