MINING $OBEX · EPOCH 1
Mined, Not Bought.$OBEX Is Your Ticket In.
Native OBEX isn’t bought. It’s mined, through RAM-hard Proof-of-Effort under the protocol’s deterministic rules. The $OBEX token on Robinhood Chain is the ticket into that process: staked to mine at launch, burnt to mine as the protocol matures.
Hold the ticket. Run the work. The rules do the rest.

THE MODEL
Stake. Work. Burn. Repeat.
01 · THE TICKET
Hold $OBEX to mine.
The $OBEX token on Robinhood Chain is the access asset for OBEX participation. Holding at least 500,000 $OBEX makes your wallet eligible to mine: your entry ticket into OBEX v2 participation. The dashboard verifies your balance on-chain; no ticket, no mining.
02 · THE WORK
The ticket admits you. The work mines.
Your machine performs a RAM-hard, memory-bound computation committed with BLAKE3 and Merkle proofs, and an RFC 9381 ECVRF draw turns valid work into eligibility deterministically. Rewards are proposer-independent, decided by pure protocol rules.
03 · THE BURN
Staking gives way to burning.
After a protocol-defined number of blocks are mined, continuing to mine consumes $OBEX outright. Every block mined from that point permanently removes tickets from supply. Deflation is written into the mining rules.
04 · THE FLYWHEEL
Demand to mine is demand for the ticket.
Anyone who wants native OBEX needs $OBEX first: staked early, burnt later. A shrinking ticket supply feeding a growing protocol is the flywheel, and the earliest adopters enter it at the cheapest point. By design.
HOW TO MINE · LIVE NOW
The Reference Miner Is Live.
The α-I Participation engine ships today as an open Rust workspace: RAM-hard Proof-of-Effort, ECVRF eligibility, byte-precise codecs and golden test vectors. Mining takes seconds of real physical work; verifying takes under a millisecond.
01 · HOLD THE TICKET
Hold at least 500,000 $OBEX in the wallet you mine with. The dashboard checks your balance live on Robinhood Chain when you connect and every time you submit.
02 · RUN THE EFFORT
Download the miner below (one command, no toolchain), then: obex-miner keygen and obex-miner mine. Your machine fills a memory-hard dataset, commits it with Merkle proofs, and draws the VRF.
03 · SUBMIT THE PROOF
Connect your wallet on the dashboard and paste your proof before the window closes. Every submission is structurally validated and cryptographically verified before allocation.
