Every trade
feeds the fab.
TSMCoin is a token on Robinhood Chain that turns its trading fee into tokenized TSM and lets holders run a chip factory on it. Every trade feeds the treasury. Every holder can start a lot. Every lot makes chips, and chips are paid in TSM.
The site is a fab you fly into. Every machine with a light on is a real lot on the chain. Your wallet is read, never signed: the page cannot move anything for you, it only shows you where you stand.
- 01TradeEvery buy and sell pays a 3% fee. The fee is swapped into TSM and sent to the treasury.
- 02Start a lotSend one transaction to the fab address. A machine on the floor is yours; it makes chips from the wafer supply every hour.
- 03HoldHold more TSMCoin and you run a finer node: better yield, bigger cassettes, more machines. Sell, and the line stops.
- 04ShipSend SHIP and the chips you made settle to TSM, paid from the treasury, with a transaction you can find on the explorer.
The fee hook
The hook is the whole economy in one sentence: 3% of every trade becomes TSM in the treasury. Here is exactly what happens, in order.
- 01A tradeSomeone buys or sells TSMCoin on Robinhood Chain. The token contract takes 3% of the amount traded as the fee.
- 02The swapThe fee is swapped for tokenized TSM on the chain, in the same block. The fee never sits as TSMCoin.
- 03The treasuryThe TSM is transferred to the treasury address. The site watches that balance every second and shows it as the wafer supply.
- 04The floorLots produce chips from the supply on a fixed curve. What they produce is a claim on the treasury; shipping turns the claim into a TSM payment.
The fee is the only thing that ever goes into the treasury, and paying shipped chips is the only thing that ever comes out. There is no other outflow, and the dev wallet has no path to it.
The treasury
The treasury is one address holding tokenized TSM. The site reads its balance from the chain every second and shows it in the top bar, in the stack on the right, and in the treasury panel. The address is public from launch, and every card links to the block explorer so you can check it yourself.
The fab reads the treasury as wafer supply: one TSM is 1,000 chips of supply. Utilization is how much of everything that has ever arrived is still unspent. Fees push it up; chips pull it down.
The daily cap
The whole fab together can turn at most 3% of the unspent supply into chips per day. Lots share that budget in proportion to their rate. Because the cap is a fraction of what is held, the fab can never produce more than the treasury can pay — which is the promise the audit checks.
Lots: start, ship, retool
A lot is a transaction to the fab address with a short text payload. Send it from the wallet that holds your TSMCoin, with 0 value. The fab reads the sender and the text and does the rest.
TSMC START mobile start a lot on the mobile recipe TSMC START server a server lot: bigger chips, slower TSMC START ai an AI accelerator lot: the biggest chips there are TSMC SHIP ship every full or partial cassette you have TSMC RETOOL <lot> restart a tired lot's curve (3 nm and finer)
The payload is plain UTF-8 in the transaction's data field. Most wallets let you paste it as hex; the site's line panel has a copy button for each verb and for the fab address.
What a lot does
A started lot claims a machine on the floor and produces chips every hour on a batch curve: fast at first, then declining toward a long tail. Chips go into the lot's cassette. A cassette holds a fixed number of hours of output for your node; when it is full, the lot stops until you ship. What a full cassette would have made goes to the scrap bin, and the scrap counter on the top bar shows it.
Shipping
Send TSMC SHIP and every chip in your cassettes moves to the dock, where it is owed in TSM at 1,000 chips per TSM, times your node's yield. The treasury pays it out on the chain. The feed panel shows every shipment as it happens, and every refusal with its reason.
Refusals
The fab refuses what it cannot do and says why: a recipe your node cannot run, more lots than your node has machines, a ship with nothing to ship, a retool on a node that cannot retool. Refusals cost you nothing but the gas.
The node ladder
Your node is set by how much TSMCoin you hold — specifically by your lowest balance over the last 24 hours. A buy takes a day to count fully; a sell counts at once. This is what "sell, and the line stops" means: drop below a rung and your lots on that rung stop producing.
| node | hold | yield | cassette | machines | recipes | retool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 nm · 2011 | nothing | 20% | 6 hours | 1 | mobile | — |
| 7 nm · 2018 | 10,000 | 45% | 24 hours | 1 | mobile, server | — |
| 3 nm · 2022 | 100,000 | 75% | 3 days | 2 | all | yes |
| 2 nm · 2025 | 1,000,000 | 95% | 7 days | 4 | all | yes |
Yield is the share of what your lots produce that ships as good chips; the rest is scrapped. Cassette is how long a lot runs before it stops and waits for a SHIP. Machines is how many lots you can run at once. A finer node is better on every column.
Recipes and cassettes
A recipe sets the shape of a lot's curve: how fast it starts, how long it lasts, and how long it takes to qualify before the first chip comes off.
| recipe | qualifies in | half-life | character |
|---|---|---|---|
| mobile | at once | about 2 days | small chips, in fast, out fast |
| server | 6 hours | about 8 days | bigger chips, a season of output |
| ai | 1 day | about 30 days | the biggest chips, runs for a year |
Every lot produces from the same shared daily budget, so a busy floor means each lot gets a smaller slice. The site shows each of your lots' rate today and how much of its first-day rate it is still making.
The audit
The site makes one promise and checks it on every read: the treasury holds at least as much TSM as it owes. What it holds is on the chain. What it owes is the sum of every shipped chip not yet paid. The treasury panel prints both numbers and the check between them.
If the check ever fails, the panel turns red and tells you by how much. Do not take anything else on the page on trust until it clears.
Everything the site shows is produced by replaying the chain through the fab engine, in order, from the block the token was deployed in. The engine is deterministic: the same transactions always give the same floor. The code is in the repository, and the engine's tests replay invented floors to check every rule above.
The dev wallet
The dev wallet is shown on the site from launch, with a scan button that opens it on the block explorer. It is read like any other wallet: what it holds, what share of all wallets that is, what it has been paid from the treasury, and how many lots it runs.
The last two should read zero forever. The dev wallet has no path to the treasury and starts no lots; the numbers are the proof, and the explorer is the audit.
Before and after the CA
Until the contract address is announced, the site runs the floor on a replayed fourteen days so you can see how a live fab looks and moves. Holders, the token data and the dev wallet read zero, because there is nothing on the chain yet to read. The treasury address is revealed at launch; from then on the site watches it every second.
When the CA is baked into the site, everything switches to the chain: every buyer gets a line on the floor, every machine is a real lot, the feed fills, and your wallet check shows your node, your machines running, your cut of the fab and every TSM you have been paid.
There is no contract address yet. It is announced at launch on the official account. Anything calling itself TSMCoin before then is not it.
Your wallet
Connect a wallet or paste any address at the top of the fab. The page asks the wallet for its address and nothing else — no signature, no approval, no transaction. Once inside, the line panel shows your node, your machines on the floor, what is in your cassettes, your cut of what the fab makes in percent and in TSM per day, and everything you have shipped and been paid.
Your machines are tagged on the floor and lit in the fab's colour; the camera flies to them when you check. The floor plan in the corner marks them too.
Questions
- Is this a promise of a return?
- No. The fab pays what the fee has bought and nothing more. If nobody trades, nothing arrives, and the line slows to a stop. The numbers on the page are what has happened, never what will.
- Can the site move my tokens?
- No. Connecting reads your address. Starting a lot and shipping are transactions you send yourself, from your own wallet, to the fab address.
- What if I sell some?
- Your node follows your lowest balance in the last 24 hours. Sell below a rung and lots on that rung stop; hold there for a day and they start again.
- What happens to a full cassette?
- The lot stops producing until you ship. What it would have made is scrapped and counted. Ship before it fills.
- Where do I send the verbs?
- To the fab address, shown on the site from launch with a copy button. 0 value, the text in the data field.
- Is TSM the real stock?
- The treasury holds tokenized TSM on Robinhood Chain — a token that tracks the stock — not shares. The site names the contract it reads.
What can go wrong
A token is a token. Its price can go to zero, the fee can stop arriving, the chain can halt, the tokenized TSM contract has its own risks, and the site can be wrong. The audit and the explorer links exist so you never have to trust the page; use them. Nothing here is financial advice, and nothing here is a promise.
