01 / MINT
0.015 ETH per Rig.
The Genesis collection consists of 2,500 DERP Rigs. Each Rig is minted for 0.015 ETH.
ECONOMICS
THE NUMBERS
SIMPLE. TRANSPARENT. ON-CHAIN.
Every Rig begins with a clearly defined allocation. The economics are designed so the initial reserve belongs to the Rig rather than being mixed into project treasury funds, while all DERP generated through the Rig’s mining activity is credited directly to its owner under the protocol’s withdrawal rules.
02 / INITIAL RESERVE
0.008 ETH follows the Rig.
0.008 ETH from every mint is assigned to the newly minted Rig's reserve. This capital is intended to fund the Rig's initial interaction with the DERP mining protocol.

RIG RESERVES
05 / MINING CAPITAL
The reserve is working capital.
The initial 0.008 ETH allocation is not a promise of profit. It is capital assigned to the Rig so the owner does not begin with an unfunded machine.
06 / PROTOCOL COSTS
Mining is not free.
DERP mining sessions require protocol fees. The Rig reserve can be used to fund those interactions according to the DERP protocol's live fee structure.
07 / DERP REWARDS
Mining DERP. Building Rewards.
Every active Rig generates DERP through its mining activity. Accumulated DERP remains associated with the Rig and its owner, even when the Rig is inactive. DERP withdrawals are limited to one withdrawal every six months, with each withdrawal capped at 25% of the eligible DERP balance. This structure is designed to keep rewards circulating within the system while giving Rig owners a defined path to withdraw their earnings.
ECONOMIC DISCLOSURE
Mining rewards are determined by the DERP protocol and may change over time. The initial Rig reserve is not guaranteed to produce a return or recover its original value. DERP Rigs are experimental software and should not be treated as an investment product.
