How Engine Works

1. 01
   MINT A MACHINE WITH $WORKS

   Machines are minted on a rising curve and paid for in $WORKS. Every token paid reaches the Works Pot.

2. 02
   POWER IT WITH $WORKS

   Use a Machine action to burn $WORKS against that specific Machine. The burn is what creates weight.

3. 03
   BUILD WEIGHT

   The Machine's weight becomes its relative participation in an epoch.

4. 04
   FEES ENTER THE STOCK POT

   Protocol activity supplies the capital used for tokenized-stock purchases.

5. 05
   BUY TOKENIZED STOCKS

   The Stock Pot converts purchasing capacity into eligible tokenized stocks.

6. 06
   THE 8H EPOCH SETTLES

   The cycle closes and active weight is accounted for. Half the Works Pot is burned; the rest joins the purchased stocks as epoch output.

7. 07
   ACTIVE MACHINES RECEIVE THEIR SHARE

   Each active Machine receives the fraction determined by its weight relative to total active weight, in both tokenized stocks and $WORKS.

Burning $WORKS, minting a Machine, and collecting fees are three separate inputs. A burn changes Machine participation. A mint fills the Works Pot. Fees create purchasing capacity. Settlement joins them by applying each active Machine’s share to the epoch output.

The interface separates ownership, weight, production, reserves, distributions, and events into focused modules. Read-only surfaces remain useful without a connected wallet. Ownership-dependent actions use the connected wallet when their verified onchain paths are active.
