PUBLICATION 15-B / SECTION 6 — PERSONNEL ISSUANCE
Minting
§6.1
Gen 0
Gen 0 supply cap: 5000. Mint price: 50 HIVE. Class roll: 90% Worker, 10% Agent. Paid from in-game HIVE balance.
§6.2
Gen 0 Fair RNG
Every roll uses a server-seeded PRNG. The seed is written to the MintEvent row for replay. See /docs/security for the audit procedure.
§6.3
Gen 1
Gen 1 supply cap: 20000. Paid in WAGE at quartile-tiered prices (see below). Class roll: 90% Worker, 10% Agent. Gen 1 agents roll grades G1-G8 — see distribution below.
§6.3a
Gen 1 Agent Grade Distribution
Steeply skewed toward G1-G3. Gen 0 is the HIVE-gated path to reliable G5-G8 agents.
| Grade | Weight | Approx. Rate |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | 400 | 39.9% |
| G2 | 250 | 25.0% |
| G3 | 150 | 15.0% |
| G4 | 100 | 10.0% |
| G5 | 60 | 6.0% |
| G6 | 30 | 3.0% |
| G7 | 10 | 1.0% |
| G8 | 2 | 0.2% |
§6.3b
Gen 0 Quality Edge — Best-of-N Hidden Stats
Gen 0 NFTs roll hidden stats 2 times and keep the highest-scoring candidate (scored on yield floor + yield ceiling + burnout tolerance). Gen 1 uses a single roll. Expected hidden-stat premium for Gen 0 over Gen 1: ~8-10%.
§6.4
Gen 1 Quartile Costs
| Quartile | Cost |
|---|---|
| Q1 | 2000 WAGE |
| Q2 | 4000 WAGE |
| Q3 | 8000 WAGE |
| Q4 | 16000 WAGE |
§6.5
Forfeiture
Every Gen 1 mint has a 10% chance of being confiscated by a random HQ-staked Agent. The NFT goes to the Agent's owner instead of the minter. The minter's WAGE is not refunded.
§6.6
Forfeiture Edge Case
If no Agents are staked at HQ when a forfeiture fires, the mint NFT goes to the minter as normal. The WAGE cost is not refunded and no burn occurs in the forfeiture lane.
§6.7
Art Generation
NFT art is generated asynchronously by the overlay pipeline. A placeholder image is shown at mint and the final 1024-pixel portrait typically resolves within thirty seconds.
