Creating a special message or changing gender from the contract


The first 4,000 Citizens to upload produce $BYTES, an ERC-20 token. $BYTES are produced at a predictable rate based on how long the Citizen has been uploaded, its component Identity's credit yield value and, if it was uploaded with a Vault, the Vault modifier.

$BYTES are used to mint new Neo Tokyo Bought Identities (NEOTBI), Neo Tokyo Part 3 Item Caches (NTITEM), Neo Tokyo Part 4 Land Deeds (NTLD), change a Citizen's upload message, and (in the future) change the gender of a Citizen. $BYTES were also used in a one-time burn event to increase the rarity of stats for Outer Identities.

"Bytes" and "credits" are often used interchangeably.

$BYTE Yield

Yield

How is $BYTE yield calculated?

A Citizen's $BYTE yield is the sum of "creditYield" of the ID or Bought ID and the "creditMultiplier" of the (optional) Vault per day. $BYTE yield will increase by one $BYTE a day, if a Citizen is uploaded for one year.

If a Citizen is disassembled, it no longer accumulates $BYTES and the bonus increase disappears and the one-year counter resets.

Claim $BYTES

How Many $BYTES Has a Citizen Accumulated?

To see the amount of accumulated $BYTES a Citizen can claim, you can either:

Or

Claim $BYTES from Contract

$BYTES must be claimed from the Citizen Contract.

To claim $BYTES:

  1. Connect a wallet with the required NFTs to the Citizen Contract via Etherscan.
  2. Select the Write Contract tab.
  3. Click Write beneath function 6. getReward
  4. Confirm the transaction via the connected wallet.

To maximize the BYTES claimed, the best practice is to claim them immediately after a BYTE was produced, at which point the start time for their production cycle is reset.

It is also a good practice to claim $BYTES when gas fees are low on the Ethereum network.

Burning $BYTES

There are several uses for $BYTES that are deflationary (that destroy them) and reduce the total supply. Neo Tokyo NFTs can be minted for $BYTES, a Citizen's description can be changed, or $BYTES can be sent directly to a burn address.

Through ether contracts (except new S1 ID) linked below.

  1. Connect the correct wallet through the Connect to Web3 button.
  2. Select the option of choice.
  3. Click Write
