Each Citizen produces $BYTES tokens based on 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 are produced at a predictable rate based on when the Citizen was uploaded or when BYTES were last claimed.
Claim $BYTES
Claimable Amount
To see the amount of accumulated $BYTES a Citizen can claim, you can either:
- Enter the wallet address containing the Citizen at https://bytestobytes.com/
Or
- In the $BYTES contract (https://etherscan.io/address/0x7d647b1a0dcd5525e9c6b3d14be58f27674f8c95#readContract), in the Read Contract tab,
7. getTotalClaimable, enter the wallet address containing the Citizen and click Query.
Claim $BYTES from Contract
$BYTES must be claimed from the Citizen Contract.
To claim $BYTES:
- Connect a wallet with the required NFTs to the Citizen Contract via Etherscan.
- Select the Write Contract tab.
- Click Write beneath function
6. getReward - 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.

Notes:
- This is a temporary contract. Thrasher is working with the NT dev team to set up a proper solution. This contract contains a selfdestruct method that will be used once the official solution is in place.
- You can call this contract from any address. It doesn't have to be the one that minted the token or the one containing your citizen. Anyone can call this on your behalf as well.
- This contract can be used to set the seed for other NT tokens once that has been enabled (e.g. land, items, outer_ids, outer_lands, outer_items).
