ID credit yield
An Identity's $BYTE yield

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 interchangeable terms.

$BYTE Yield

Yield is the daily rate that $BYTES are produced by a Citizen, based on its ID's stats plus the vault modifier.

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.

Citizen Credit Yield (creditYield)

Credit Yield Rarity $BYTES/day
Low 73% 1
Mid 22% 3
High 3% 8

*A Hand of the Citadel yields 15 $BYTES.

Vault Yield (creditMultiplier)

Vault Yield Rarity Yield (+) Modifier/day
Low 50.68% 1
Medium 24.76% 2
Medium High 10% 3
High 9.2% 4
Very High 4.44% 5
? 0.92% 7

How Many $BYTES Has a Citizen Accumulated?

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

Or

Claim $BYTES

$BYTES are produced throughout the day and can only be claimed as whole numbers, e.g. if a Citizen's $BYTE yield is 2, it can claim 1 $BYTE every 12 hours but it cannot claim 1.2 $BYTES after 15 hours. Since, only whole numbers can be claimed, the accumulated decimal amount will be lost when claiming.

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

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

$BYTES can be claimed from https://neotokyo.codes or from the Citizen Contract.

Burning $BYTES

There are several uses for $BYTES that are deflationary (that destroy them) and reduce the total supply.

Using $BYTES

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. All of these uses are deflationary, reducing the total supply by destroying the $BYTES in the process.

Uses and Costs for $BYTES
Cost Use
10 $BYTES Change a Citizen's description
25 $BYTES Change Citizen's gender
500 $BYTES Mint an Item Cache
500 $BYTES Mint a Land Deed
2000 $BYTES Mint an S1 Bought Identity

Minting Neo Tokyo NFTs using $BYTES

$BYTES can be used to mint Neo Tokyo Citizen component NFTs.

For more information on minting with $BYTES, see the Minting Neo Tokyo NFTs using $BYTES article.

Changing a Citizen's Description/Upload Message

$BYTES can also be used to change the unique on-chain description for a Citizen.

Burning $BYTES

Any project can now burn bytes without NT approval. You can burn bytes using this contract address: 0x1d59cbF95adD1237b6449ddeA0D0c64952879bF3 Use the function burnBytes(uint256)
