CONTAINMENT & CLOSURE SYSTEM
The Vault
Record an experience. Classify it by type and namespace. Advance through containment states. Seal permanently. Each seal burns $VTIME. The supply contracts. The record is immutable.
ERC-721 · THREE-STATE LIFECYCLE · DEFLATIONARY CLOSURE
THREE-STAGE LIFECYCLE
The Containment Process
1. Record
Mint an experience as ERC-721. Assign namespace, behavior type, and a one-line statement. No names. No personal identifiers. Just a classified record on Polygon.
2. Contain
Advance from Unsealed to Contained. This state transition flags the experience for closure. The record is marked but still modifiable at this stage.
3. Seal
Burn 50 $VTIME or a Finality Pass. 50% destroyed permanently. 50% to treasury. The experience becomes non-transferable. Sealed on-chain. Immutable. The record is closed.
INSTRUMENTS OF CLOSURE
Finality Artifacts
Six instruments of closure. Burn-on-use. Each type maps to a different classification of experience. The artifact is consumed. The seal is permanent.
Signal Closure
“The input has been classified and contained.”
Assessment Override
“Unqualified evaluation. Weight: zero.”
Observation Only
“Commentary without contact. Record: permanent.”
Loop Termination
“Recursive pattern identified and closed.”
Responsibility Redirect
“Comprehension deficit is not a protocol obligation.”
Momentum Protection
“Productive velocity is not subject to external audit.”
TOKENOMICS
$VTIME — Deflationary Closure Token
Supply
100,000,000 $VTIME. Fixed. No inflation. No mint function. Every token burned in a seal is gone forever. Deflationary by design.
Seal Mechanics
Sealing costs $VTIME. 50% burned permanently. 50% to treasury. Or burn a Finality Pass — zero $VTIME cost. The chain gets lighter with every seal.
Allocations
40% Vault Ops · 25% Liquidity · 20% Community · 10% Team · 5% Creator. All distributed at deploy. No hidden mints.
Design Intent
$VTIME is a pure accounting instrument. Each seal reduces supply. Scarcity is monotonically increasing. The token has no growth narrative — it has a contraction schedule enforced at the EVM level. The math is deliberately simple. The finality is real.
