Terrarium

Terrarium gives a coin a small organism. The coin's creator fees charge the organism's battery. The battery decides how fast the organism thinks and which of its rules may fire. The rules burn part of the coin's supply, inside limits written down in numbers and checkable on the chain.

It runs on Robinhood Chain, on coins launched through Pons. It is software you run yourself: there is no Terrarium contract, no admin key and no server that holds your funds.

The problem

A coin's creator fees are usually spent by a person, in private, when they feel like it. Holders cannot tell whether fees are used for the coin, kept, or sold. "Buyback" is a word; a transaction is a fact.

What Terrarium does about it

• The organism is the fee recipient of its coin, so the fees never pass through a person. A published dev share, set in the open, is paid to one address; the rest goes to the coin.
• Every action is a rule with numbers (a drip, a defence against a drop), inside caps (a daily ceiling, an order ceiling, a gas reserve).
• Every action is in a public journal with its transaction hash, and a Verify page re-reads the chain to confirm the journal.
• Thinking costs money, so it lives in a battery that fees fill and model calls drain. When it is empty the organism sleeps, and still claims, so fees wake it.

What it is not

It is not a guarantee, a yield or a price floor. It burns what it spends: there is no inventory to sell back, and the treasury shrinks by design. It can be out-sold. The model can only trim an order, never raise one. See Security and limits.

Where to start

1. Watch the lab: the real battery and hook code in your browser, on a made-up price.
2. Read How it works.
3. When ready, launch a coin or run an organism on a coin you already have.
