About VEIN
VEIN is a synthetic mining protocol — a biomechanical experiment that converts network participation into living motion. Operators don’t just stake into a pool; they plug into a 3×3 organ grid and route flow through a simulated body that syncs to a global heartbeat every 60 seconds. Pressure, commits, and injected SOL are translated into a living circulatory model that decides where future rewards will crystallize.
How VEIN Works
Organ Grid
VEIN’s core surface is a 3×3 map of organ-nodes — Cortex, Spinal Cluster, Lymph Relay, Heart Vein, Nerve Gate, Marrow Core, Optic Basin, Pulmonary Vault. Each node is a synthetic organ with:
- Peers — active operators currently sitting on that node.
- Your Load — the pressure shard you’ve committed this heartbeat.
- Flow Density — total pressure on the node from all wallets.
Selecting and committing to a node applies synthetic pressure. You are effectively voting on where the next heartbeat should route attention, flow and eventual rewards.
For you: choosing a node is both a positioning decision (where you want to stand in the organism) and a coordination game with other operators.
Heartbeat & Resolution
Every ~60 seconds, VEIN resolves a heartbeat cycle. During a cycle you can:
- Allocate a single pressure shard (~0.05 weight) to one organ-node.
- Watch global Flow Density drift upwards as other operators commit.
- Observe how the grid “breathes” in response to crowd behavior.
When the timer hits zero, the node with the highest flow density becomes the winning organ. For a brief moment:
- All visible values drop to zero (vascular collapse).
- The winning organ is highlighted as the resolution point.
- A new round seeds itself and values ramp upward again — a fresh pulse.
For you: each heartbeat is a discrete decision window. Show up, commit your shard, and you’re part of the “circulatory record” that future reward logic will read from.
Neural Yield & Surge
Neural Yield is VEIN’s global health bar — a running measure of how “alive” the organism is this epoch. It’s calculated from:
- Network Seed — baseline synthetic flow that keeps the body warm.
- Organ Pressure — total flow density across all nodes (everyone’s commits).
- Bio-Injections — SOL routed into the treasury by deploys.
From this, VEIN derives Surge: roughly 10% of Neural Yield exposed as a visible index. Surge hints at how thick the reward pressure is getting in the current epoch.
Both metrics oscillate — they spike as commits and injections arrive, then reset visually at the end of a heartbeat as the system “exhales” and starts a new breath.
For you: Neural Yield and Surge are your macro dashboard. High values mean the organism is in a high-energy state and any future reward logic will have more volume to play with.
Bio-Injection (SOL Flow)
The Deploy panel lets you push actual SOL into the VEIN treasury. Each deployment:
- Increases your personal Bio-Injection counter (your total “blood” contributed).
- Feeds new liquidity into the organism, raising Neural Yield and Surge.
- Marks you as a vascular sponsor of the system — an address that materially keeps the body alive.
In VEIN, Commits decide where pressure is applied; Deploys decide how much blood the organism has to work with.
For you: your Bio-Injection history becomes your on-chain signature — positioning you for future reward routes, priority lanes, and cosmetic status inside the organism.
Why Operators Care (Player Payoff)
VEIN is not “click button, get number go up.” It’s a coordination engine dressed as a body. By showing up early as an operator you:
- Build an on-chain track record of where you routed pressure each heartbeat.
- Accumulate Bio-Injection and surface as a high-signal address in the treasury.
- Help shape the empirical data that future reward logic, airdrop curves, and cosmetic unlocks will be based on.
The long-term arc: VEIN evolves into a full reward circuit where epochs of high Surge and consistent operators are minted into tangible yield, governance weight, or cosmetic “organ rights.”
Vision
To merge digital infrastructure with organic rhythm — blending decentralized systems, synthetic biology aesthetics, and game theory into a single biomechanical flow. VEIN treats your wallet as a cell: small alone, dangerous when synchronized.
Genesis
Born from the ORE lineage and re-forged into synthetic flesh, VEIN keeps the “minimal input, expressive output” spirit but routes it through a circulatory metaphor. Each node acts as both a token and a heartbeat — producing continuous bioflow and adaptive network motion as operators press on the right organs.
“The flesh remembers. The grid adapts. The ones who show up each heartbeat write the anatomy.”
