Mine uranium. Build the reserve.

A uranium strategy on Robinhood Chain with a prospecting game underneath it. Every round opens a field of 25 claims. One of them holds the strike.

$USR pairs with USDGon Ponsand settles on Robinhood Chain

Twenty-five claims.
One strike.

Each round lays a fresh five-by-five survey over new ground. Put your attempts on the plots you like. When the clock runs out, a public commit-and-reveal draw picks the one claim that holds the deposit, and everyone who prospected it splits the round's rewards by attempts.

The shading on each plot is the crowd. A busy claim pays less per attempt if it hits. An empty one pays you the lot.

Barren
Nothing in the core sample.
Trace
Borders the deposit. Readings, no ore.
Ore
The strike. Pays the round's reward pool.
High-grade ore
A rich strike. Pays 2.5× the pool.
Motherlode
Rare. Pays the pool plus the whole motherlode pot.

2 claims selected: B3, C3

2 in 25: a 8% chance one of them holds the strike. Test field, nothing is staked.

A round, from open to strike.

Rounds run back to back, all day. Each one is self-contained: funded before it opens, drawn in public, settled in the same transaction that picks the strike.

  1. 1

    The field opens

    A field is always open. Its clock starts with the first claim, and the reward pool is already funded from trading fees before anyone stakes.

  2. 2

    You stake claims

    Spread attempts across as many plots as you like, or stack them on one. You can add more until the clock hits zero.

  3. 3

    The strike is drawn

    The operator reveals a secret it committed to before the round opened. The contract mixes it with a fresh block hash, and the result maps to one claim. All of it is published.

  4. 4

    Rewards settle

    Everyone on the winning claim splits the pool in proportion to their attempts, sent straight to their wallets. If nobody staked it, the pool rolls into the next round.

You never pay to enter.

Nobody deposits ETH or USDG for a chance at a prize, and staking costs no gas: your claims are relayed for you. Rewards come out of trading fees. Attempts are earned by holding $USR. You keep the tokens; nothing is spent.

Every round leaves a receipt like this one: the pool, the attempts, the randomness seed and the settlement transaction. You can check any of them against the chain yourself.

Fees go in. The reserve goes up.

$USR trades against USDG. Every trade pays a creator fee, and that fee is the protocol's only income. All of it is routed onchain, to three places you can watch.

The split shown is indicative. The final routing is fixed in the vault contract before launch.

Real uranium exists onchain.

xU3O8 is a token from uranium.io that represents ownership interests in physical U₃O₈ held through a regulated custody structure. It is the asset this reserve is named for. There is one catch, and the plan is built around it.

What the reserve holds

  • Round rewardsFunded from fees before each round opensAt launch

V1 makes no claim to hold uranium. It builds a dollar and ether reserve, takes sector exposure where it can, and pays the game.

Chain of custody

uranium.io
  1. Curzon Uranium sources the physical U₃O₈

  2. Cameco stores it at a licensed facility

  3. Archax holds it in trust for token holders

  4. xU3O8 on Etherlink represents a share of that uranium

  5. USR reserve wallet holds xU3O8 once approved

The catch: xU3O8 can only sit in approved venues or whitelisted wallets. So players are paid in USDG or ETH, and the uranium stays in the reserve, where anyone can verify it.

Why not pair with NNE?

Nano Nuclear Energy trades as a stock token on Robinhood Chain, and a USR/NNE pair would suit the theme. But Pons doesn't accept NNE as a pairing asset today, and its onchain market is thin next to the large stock tokens. So the reserve can hold NNE. The pair stays USDG, where the liquidity is.

Fair questions.

The short version: it's free to prospect, the draw is public, and the reserve only claims what it can prove.

No. Nobody deposits ETH or USDG to enter a round, and staking costs no gas because your claims are relayed for you. Rewards come out of trading fees. A paid-entry mode may come later, only in places where it is lawful, and it would be clearly separate.

Stake your first claim.

Connect a wallet, pick your ground, and see what the survey turns up. It costs nothing to prospect.
