The App
Trade against the curve and manage your shadows. Everything runs in the contract β this page is only a window.
TRADE straight against the curve β no order book, no LP to trust
Price follows a constant-product curve with virtual reserves (2,000 virtual HYPE Γ 3,333 virtual SHDW). Crossing a whole-coin line β up or down β wakes or dissolves shadows: selling below a whole number dissolves your newest unlit shadow back into the pool.
MY SHADOWS draw, light, attune, earn
How it works
1 Β· Draw
Buy and hold at least 1.0 whole $SHDW. After a short on-chain delay, draw your shadow from the pool of 3,333. Which shadow you get is sealed by blockhash at draw time β and its generation has been fixed by its ID since before launch. Nobody can reroll, grind, or cherry-pick.
2 Β· Light it
Consecrate a shadow by burning 1.0 $SHDW. It leaves the pool forever and starts earning. Rarer generations weigh more (up to Γ4.0). You can attune a lit shadow up to 4 more times β +50% weight per level, one coin burned each time.
3 Β· Earn
2% of every buy and sell is split among all lit shadows by weight, accruing continuously. Settle and claim your HYPE whenever you like. Every lighting burns supply forever β the longer the machine runs, the scarcer $SHDW gets.
Generations
Fixed by ID before launch. The draw decides which ID you receive β never its generation.
| Generation | Share of 3,333 | Reward weight | Attune ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|
| GEN 1 | β 40.1% | Γ1.0 | Γ3.0 |
| GEN 2 | β 27.0% | Γ1.4 | Γ4.2 |
| GEN 3 | β 18.1% | Γ2.0 | Γ6.0 |
| GEN 4 | β 10.9% | Γ2.8 | Γ8.4 |
| GEN 5 | β 3.9% | Γ4.0 | Γ12.0 |
A GEN 5 shadow is roughly 1-in-26 draws β and worth four GEN 1s in every fee split, before attunement.
Fees
One flat fee, printed in the contract, unchangeable since the admin froze at launch.
WHY 3%
The fee is the whole business model β there is nothing else. No mint button, no treasury allocation, no hidden switch: the contract was frozen at deployment, so the fee sink and the split can never be edited. Operations (infrastructure, development, this site) live on the 1% β if the shadows don't trade, we don't earn.
THE FLYWHEEL
Trading pays the lit. Lighting burns coins. Burning shrinks supply and empties the pool β the last shadows get scarcer as the machine runs. When the pool is fully drawn (2,000 HYPE of net buys), no new shadows can ever be drawn again.

FAQ
How do I get HYPE onto Elysium (chain 99901)?
Bridge HYPE from HyperEVM through the official Elysium bridge (inbox 0xce59f8b65ad41c9dae4c07a0571a39824bd92cff on chain 999). Add the network to your wallet with the button in the App β it uses RPC endpoints rpc.asphodelhq.com / rpc.thekleos.xyz, chain ID 99901. Always test with a small amount first.
Why did my shadow disappear when I sold?
Unlit (dark) shadows are backed by your whole-coin balance. If a sell takes you below a whole number, your newest dark shadow dissolves back into the pool β by design, and stated on the trade card before you sell. Lit shadows never dissolve.
Can I sell or transfer a lit shadow?
No. A lit shadow is bound to the wallet that lit it, forever. It cannot be sold, transferred, or dissolved β it can only earn and be attuned. Think of it as burning a coin to buy a permanent seat at the fee table.
When does my draw unlock, and can anyone predict it?
Draws unlock roughly a minute after your balance crosses a whole coin, and the result is derived from a future blockhash β it does not exist anywhere until the draw window opens. Generation, however, was never random: it is fixed by the shadow's ID.
What are the risks?
Real ones. Elysium is a young chain whose public mainnet is still being rolled out by its operators; bridges and RPCs can fail; the contract is experimental and unaudited; price is set by a thin curve and can move violently or go to zero. Never spend money you cannot afford to lose, and verify every address yourself.
