Mockup

Hold your gold as a pile of coins.

Lock a gold token and get back one NFT. Its picture is a heap of coins, and the number on the heap is exactly what burning it returns.

The wallet

A bank of coin piles.

Every pile below is drawn at the same scale, so you can see the sizes against each other. Up to 40 there is one coin for each unit. Above that the heap gets bigger and prints the exact amount.

Same scale: one coin is the same size in every tile.

Examine

Open one up.

The picture comes only from the amount. The same balance always draws the same pile. When one unit is added, one new coin lands and the others stay where they were.

Twelve gold coins, each one visible

Countable

Twelve units, twelve coins. Count them.

Huge

Past forty, the number does the counting. It never rounds.

Examine: 10000

Move gold around

Stack and split.

Two piles become one, or one pile becomes two. The totals always match.

Stack

Give it two piles. Get back one pile holding the sum.

5 + 7 = 12
A pile of 5 and a pile of 7 become a pile of 12
+ → 5 7 12

Split

Give it one pile and an amount. Get back two piles that add up to the original.

12 = 5 + 7
A pile of 12 becomes a pile of 5 and a pile of 7
→ + 12 5 7

The promise

The pile shows what burn returns.

Burn a pile and you get the gold token back, exactly the number printed on it.

Exact, always

The picture is drawn from one integer: the base units locked inside. No rounding, ever.

Fees come first

If there is ever a fee, it comes off before the number is written. The number on the pile is yours.

No slow skim

The locked balance does not shrink over time. A pile of 40 stays a pile of 40.
