CORE FEATURES (non-negotiable: keep them exactly)

1. Supply: 10,000 AETHER, all minted at launch. No public sale, no team allocation:

• 1,000 (10%) AIRDROP to identity.md NFT holders (contract 0x0000ec93127baa929e58e97dd0095a2bfb38ec1d, 2,000 NFTs), pro rata to NFTs held at a

snapshot = 0.5 AETHER per NFT, claimable via Merkle. These are the ONLY tokens in

circulation at launch.

• 1,000 (10%) single-sided AETHER liquidity in the AETHER/IMD v4 pool (no IMD needed): buyers buy it with IMD.
• 8,000 (80%) Reserve, released per epoch (epoch = 10 min, 144 per day) on a decreasing schedule. YOU DECIDE over how many epochs the game distributes the Reserve, and the shape

of the curve. Justify it with the simulation. 2. Energies: players buy energies with IMD (ETH accepted, swapped to IMD first), at the same price on 4 machines. 100% of that IMD buys AETHER on the AETHER/IMD pool and burns it. 3. Machines differ only by fail rate: Earth 10%, Water 30%, Fire 60%, Air 90%. 4. Shares: each epoch, 90% of the tranche is cut into 4 Shares (60 / 20 / 20 / 0), assigned to the machines at random. Surviving energies split their machine's Share pro rata. The expected

Share per energy is equal on every machine, because the fail rate cancels. 5. Harvest: the other 10% of each tranche goes to the daily Harvest pot, together with every Tithe and the swap fee. After epoch 144, the WHOLE pot is split among ALL of the day's failed

energies: an equal slice per fail, whatever the machine, nothing carried over. Risky machines

collect more Harvest per energy. This variance premium is an intentional game-theory choice:

players crowd toward risk until it balances. KEEP IT. 6. Claim: winnings sit in an unclaimed in-game balance. Claiming is the only exit: a 10% Tithe goes to tomorrow's Harvest, and 90% goes to the wallet as plain ERC-20. 7. Pool: AETHER is PAIRED WITH IMD (the identity.md token, 0xd34a99bc0f67ae1bbd63c660e6d0b0dd03e263b7, Ethereum mainnet): Uniswap v4 AETHER/IMD. Hook

fee, on buys and sells: starts at 99% at launch, drops 1 point every minute, and stays at 5%

forever after (reached ~94 minutes after launch). This anti-sniper launch decay is a core

feature. Every fee buys AETHER back and goes to the Harvest pot. On top of it, the pool has a

0.3% LP fee. The LP position (the 1,000 single-sided AETHER, owned by a contract with no

admin) collects it, and the fees are REINJECTED into that same LP position

(auto-compounding), so liquidity grows with volume. 8. When the Reserve is empty, the burn stops. The energy IMD buys AETHER to refill the next epochs' rewards (recycling mode).

No other reward streams.

GAME MAP

PLAYER --IMD (or ETH->IMD)--> ENERGIES on a machine --IMD--> buy AETHER on AETHER/IMD pool -->

BURN

RESERVE --decreasing schedule (you decide)--> EPOCH TRANCHE

90% --> SHARES 60/20/20/0 (random) --> surviving energies, pro rata --> UNCLAIMED BALANCE

10% --> HARVEST POT

HARVEST POT <-- 10% tranche + Tithe + swap fee (99%->5%, bought back)

nightly: whole pot / all failed energies of the day --> UNCLAIMED BALANCE

UNCLAIMED BALANCE --CLAIM--> 10% Tithe --> Harvest pot | 90% --> WALLET <--> AETHER/IMD v4 POOL

(0.3% LP fee --> reinjected into the LP)

LAUNCH: airdrop 1,000 to NFT holders + 1,000 single-sided in pool + 8,000 Reserve; hook fee 99%

-> -1%/min -> 5%, plus 0.3% LP fee compounded into the LP

YOUR JOB

Chain: Ethereum mainnet, where IMD lives. Build everything around these features so the game is

fair, sustainable and fun. You decide and justify the rest:

• the game length in epochs and the emission curve of the 8,000 Reserve;
• the energy price;
• randomness that cannot be gamed;
• gas-scalable settlement;
• the airdrop snapshot and claim, and the single-sided pool range (opening price, depth);
• protections against crashes and whales;
• the IMD/ETH entry route. Back every choice with an agent-based simulation covering the whole game length you choose;

casuals, Earth grinders, Air gamblers and whales; bull, flat, -80% crash and whale-attack

scenarios.

DELIVERABLES (GitHub, no deployment)

• SPEC.md: the final rules and every constant.
• sim/ and SIMULATION.md.
• Solidity, Foundry and Uniswap v4 contracts, with tests covering:
• total supply never exceeds 10,000;
• the Reserve is never overdrawn;
• every pot is fully distributed;
• and the other key invariants. No admin key may move funds or change constants after launch.
• RISKS.md, including that this is a game of chance paid in IMD, and AETHER's exposure to the IMD price.
• SITE_COPY.md: the English site text.
• WORKFLOW_REQUEST.md: a ready-to-paste IMD workflow.open request (under 8,000 characters) to deploy on Sepolia (with a mock IMD), then Ethereum mainnet, with the site. Use the

evm_contracts kind to keep the 10,000 supply.

DEPLOYABILITY: the IMD swarm will deploy this itself with the evm_contracts kind: at most 8

contracts in ONE transaction, from IMD's launch deployer. So everything must deploy and wire

itself in that single transaction: token, Reserve, game, hook, airdrop Merkle distributor, pool

initialization and the 1,000 single-sided AETHER liquidity. The NFT snapshot Merkle root is a

constructor input. The 99%->5% fee clock starts at deployment.
