Eternal Growth Stars
8,888 stars.
They grow forever.
Fully on-chain. No IPFS. No servers. Each star evolves through eight stellar stages, then disperses into a Galaxy whose rank ticks every twenty-four hours — for eternity. Mining of the GROWTH token begins twenty-four hours after sellout: rarer stars and higher stages produce more. The longer you hold, the rarer it becomes — and the more it yields.
Chapter I
It begins with nothing.
You mint a star for 0.001 ETH. There is no image waiting on a server somewhere. The contract assigns you a species — one of eight, weighted by rarity — and writes the timestamp into the chain. From that moment, your star is a function of time. The longer you hold, the more it becomes — and twenty-four hours after the last mint, the more it produces.
Chapter II
Eight stages.
Then forever.
Each stage doubles in duration. Two hours becomes four. Four becomes eight. By the time you reach the eighth stage — Galaxy — more than ten days have passed. And then the real waiting begins.

Chapter III
Your address.
Made into light.
The forty hex characters of the holder's address are written into the art itself — forty points of light arranged on an orbital ring, their brightness and weight derived from the bytes of the wallet. Sell the star and the signature regenerates around the new owner. Freeze it, and yours stays — locked into the body of the work.

Chapter IV
Two choices.
Both permanent.
0.05 ETH
Freeze.
Lock the moment. Your star's current stage, Galaxy rank, and your address as its gravitational signature — all preserved on-chain, permanently. Time stops moving for this token.
Choose carefully. Freeze too early and you lose every Galaxy rank that would have come.
0.01 ETH
Accelerate.
Skip a quarter of the current stage's duration. Once per stage, never twice. A rush forward — useful when patience runs thin and the next form is just hours away.
Cannot be used in Galaxy phase. Once your star is a Galaxy, only time matters.
Chapter V
Eight species.
From blue giant to brown dwarf.
Your species is assigned at mint, weighted toward the more common forms. Eighty-eight collectors will hold an O-Type Blue Giant. The rest of us will hold what the universe usually makes. Rarity is not just aesthetic — it is yield.

Chapter VI
Eight legendaries.
Named for the real ones.
Hidden inside the 8,888 are eight one-of-one legendaries — assigned at mint, with the probability rolled atomically against the species pick. Each is named after a real cosmic giant. Each produces ten times the yield of an equivalent non-legendary at the same stage and species. There is no way to target them. There is only one of each.

Chapter VII
Hold to mine.
Every star, every second.
Holding a star is not a passive act. Twenty-four hours after the collection sells out, every Eternal Growth Star begins to mine GROWTH — an on-chain ERC-20 — continuously, per second, into the holder's wallet. The rate is set by three things: how evolved your star is, how rare its species, and whether it is one of the eight legendaries. There is no staking contract, no deposit step, no lockup. Hold the NFT — claim the token whenever.

Example yield
A G-Type Yellow at Stage 4 produces 1.5 × 2.2 = 3.30 GROWTH per hour. The same wallet's O-Type Blue Giant at Stage 8 (Galaxy) with Rank 30 produces 3.0 × (5.0 + 1.5) = 19.5 GROWTH per hour. A year later, the Galaxy rank has grown to ~395 — the same star now produces 3.0 × 24.75 = 74.25 GROWTH per hour. A legendary at the same position produces 10× of that. The rarity ladder stops being aesthetic. It compounds.
Chapter VIII
Mint becomes liquidity.
Holding becomes yield.
GROWTH is not a separate product. It is the way an Eternal Growth Star pays you back for waiting. The token has no presale, no airdrop, no VC allocation — only mining via holding, and a single liquidity pool seeded with funds the deployer redistributes after sellout.

Chapter IX
Designed to be unbottable.
Anti-bot is not a single trick. It is four cumulative friction layers, designed together. Removing any one of them reopens a farming vector. The cost-and-coordination of bypassing all four exceeds the value of any single token in the collection. That is the bar.
Layer 01
Paid mint
0.001 ETH per mint. Tiny for a human; murderous for a bot operator funding hundreds of fresh wallets. Cost-per-token for farming approaches cost-per-token for legitimate minting.
Layer 02
EOA-only
msg.sender must equal tx.origin. No flash-loaned wallets, no batched contract mints, no proxy patterns. Every mint is signed by a real keypair.
Layer 03
Two per wallet
mintsByWallet[msg.sender] is checked and incremented atomically. To grab 100 stars, a bot operator needs at least 50 distinct, individually-funded EOAs.
Layer 04
Eighteen per block
No single block can be monopolized. The 8,888 supply spreads across at least 247 blocks — roughly 50 minutes of Ethereum. Time for humans to react.

The mint button activates when the contract is live. Every wei of mint proceeds accumulates inside the contract treasury and is redistributed by the deployer after sellout. The team takes nothing from mint — only from the optional Freeze and Accelerate fees.
Mint button activates when the contract is live. EOA only — wallets must sign directly, no contract callers, no more than 2 mints per wallet, no more than 18 mints per Ethereum block.
Last things
Questions.
Yes. There is no IPFS, no S3, no rendering server. Every star's SVG is computed inside the smart contract at the moment you call tokenURI(). The metadata JSON is built the same way. As long as Ethereum exists, your star exists exactly as it is.
Eight 1-of-1 stars hidden inside the 8,888 mints, each named after a real cosmic giant — UY Scuti, Stephenson 2-18, VY Canis Majoris, Betelgeuse, R136a1, Eta Carinae, Sagittarius A*, and TON 618. Their identity is rolled atomically during the mint transaction. Each produces 10× the GROWTH yield of an equivalent non-legendary at the same stage and species.
An ERC-20 token mined passively by holding an Eternal Growth Star. Mining begins 24 hours after the collection sells out. Every star produces continuously, per second. Rate = base × stage multiplier × species multiplier × legendary multiplier. Holders call claim() whenever to receive accrued tokens.
Into the contract treasury. Every mint payment accumulates inside the contract — the deployer cannot bypass this. The deployer (and only the deployer) can later withdraw and redistribute, including seeding the GROWTH/ETH liquidity pool at token launch. The team takes nothing from mint itself; only the optional Freeze and Accelerate fees are operational revenue.
Four cumulative layers: paid mint (each token has a real ETH cost), EOA-only (no contract callers, no flash loans), 2 mints per wallet (no single-address sweeping), and 18 mints per block (no monopolization of a single block). The combination makes farming economically unattractive at the unit level.
Your star disperses into a Galaxy and Galaxy Rank begins to tick — every 24 hours, forever. Each Galaxy rank adds +0.05× to your GROWTH production multiplier. The longer you hold, the rarer your star becomes among all 8,888 — and the more it produces.
Probably not. Freezing locks your stage AND your Galaxy rank — including the multiplier that compounds your GROWTH production. Freezing in Galaxy Rank 1 vs Galaxy Rank 1,000 is a very different bet on yield. The choice is permanent.
Yes — 5%, declared on-chain via ERC-2981. OpenSea and every major marketplace that respects ERC-2981 pay it automatically to the royalty receiver. The contract has a hard-coded maximum of 10% — the owner can lower the rate or change the receiver address (e.g. to a multisig), but cannot raise it above the cap. Royalty payments go directly to the receiver wallet; they never touch the contract.
