Forfeiture

Every Gen 1 mint has a 10% chance o' bein' confiscated by a random HQ-staked Privateer. Th' NFT goes to th' Privateer's owner instead o' th' minter. Th' minter's WAGE be not refunded.


Forfeiture Edge Case

If no Privateers be staked at HQ when a forfeiture fires, th' mint NFT goes to th' minter as normal. Th' WAGE cost be not refunded an' no burn occurs in th' forfeiture lane.


Art Generation

NFT art be generated asynchronously by th' overlay pipeline. A placeholder image be shown at mint an' th' final 1024-pixel portrait typically resolves within thirty seconds.
