WHAT IS THIS

    

      

        
PYRE is a living colony on Solana. Every creature in the pit above is a pyreling: a drip of wax with a flame for a head. The flame is its life. The only thing that feeds it is burning $PYRE.

        
There is one colony and everyone sees the same one. When you burn, a pyreling hatches with your name on it. When nobody burns, the flames go blue and the colony starts to die. When a lot of people burn at once, the pit goes white and they build a tower toward the exit.

        
It has a mind. Every ten minutes it reads what happened, decides how it feels about it, and remembers who did what. Ask it in a month who kept it alive through the first night. It will tell you by name.

HOW IT WORKS

    
    
      
  1. HOLDEvery wallet holding $PYRE gets an egg in the pit, automatically, with its name on it. Cold. Waiting.
    2. 
      
  2. BURNBurn at least the hatch cost and your egg cracks open. That pyreling is yours: pick it up, put it where you want, watch it grow with every burn.
    3. 
      
  3. LEARNThe colony's mind reads every burn, every famine, every big wallet that came and went. It learns words, it picks favourites, it holds grudges. All of it is public.
    4. 
      
  4. MIGRATEBurn enough as a community and the whole colony climbs out of the Trenches to the next location. New ground, new creatures, new things to learn.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

    

      
THE GAME CAN'T RUN WITHOUT BURNS.
Population is bounded by what's been burned. Starve it and it shrinks. There's no token "utility" bolted on; the burn is the game loop.

      
IT REMEMBERS YOU.
Not a mascot with a chatbot. A persistent mind that changes with how it's treated, logged cycle by cycle at the mind log, so you can watch trust drop after a massacre and see the colony behave differently the next day.

      
ONE WORLD.
No private instances. Your pyreling stands next to everyone else's. The whale that burned a million has a shrine in the same pit you feed in.

    

  


  

    
THE RULES

    

      
floor: 500 · hatch cost: 1,000 · egg: hold 1,000

      

        
TIERONE BURN OFWHAT HAPPENS

        
          
EMBER1K+a hatch. your flame bumps.

          
KINDLING10K+batch hatch. your pyreling grows a stage.

          
BLAZE50K+the whole pit flares. gold on the ticker. sunglasses for 24h.

          
INFERNO200K+forces a frenzy. the mind writes you into memory by name. laser eyes.

          
SACRIFICE1M+a permanent shrine with your name. the mind's favourite, forever.

        
      

      
Below the floor, nothing hatches and the ticker ignores it. Stop feeding for a day and your pyreling turns its back on the brazier and its flame goes grey. It'll come back when you do.

    

  


  

    
WHAT IT EATS

    
$PYRE is the only thing that hatches and grows. Everything else is a snack: send any other token to the incinerator and the pyre tastes it, looks it up, and tells you what it thought. Dead tokens get a tombstone in the pit. incinerator: coming after launch

  


  

    
THE WALLETS

    

      
BRAIN—pays the mind and the hosting. creator fees go here.

      
GRANARY—the locked dev buy. feeds the colony automatically when it's starving.

      
MINT—the only real $PYRE. match it before you buy anything.

Each migration is a new map, new creature variants and new behaviours. The colony moves together or not at all.
