$RST Whitepaper

Resource Terminal is a browser-based MMORPG (inspired by the 2004-era RuneScape engine) with a live Bitcoin Layer 1 token economy. Players earn $RST through genuine gameplay — chopping trees, mining ore, killing monsters, skilling — and convert that effort into a real on-chain asset via OPNet.

RST is not a points system. It is an OP20 token on Bitcoin L1 & a wrapped token on Ethereum. Players claim it to their own wallets and swap it for BTC or ETH via LP pools found on both chains.

Live Liquidity Pools

• ₿ BTC BTC/RST — MotoSwap NativeSwap V1
• ₿ BTC PILL/RST — MotoSwap V2
• ₿ BTC MOTO/RST — MotoSwap V2
• Ξ ETH ETH/wRST — Sushi V2 (swaps natively while connected with your eth wallet)
• ₿ BTC sBTC/RST — MotoSwap (future)
• Ξ ETH sBTC/wRST — Uniswap (future)

Resource Terminal is a fully functional MMORPG running in-browser with no download required. A Bitcoin wallet (OP_WALLET) or Ethereum wallet (Phantom, MetaMask, etc.) is required to claim RST.

• Skills: Woodcutting, Mining, Fishing, Cooking, Firemaking, Fletching, Crafting, Smithing, Farming, Slayer, Combat (Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic, Prayer, Hitpoints)
• World: Misthalin, Asgarnia, and beyond (gated by RST balance)
• Systems: Banking, equipment, shops, NPCs with dialogue, player-owned houses
• Events: The Orange Pill world event every 8 hours
• Moderation: Merlin the AI moderator

The claim pool depletes as players earn. No fixed emission schedule — pools drain on demand, driven entirely by gameplay activity. The 80K RST burnt on BTC at wRST deploy ensures total cross-chain supply never exceeds 1M (testnet) / 1B (mainnet).

RST is earned through gameplay. The server tracks GP (Gold Pieces) via skilling XP, monster kills, and boss kills. GP Converted shown in your sidebar is your gross earnings before any fees.

The Two-Layer Fee System

There are two fee events in the RST economy:

Example: 125 GP Gross

Native Power: Your In-Game Tab

Your GP tab (the pending balance shown as wRST Pending or RST Pending) is your native balance before claiming. This tab holds more intrinsic value per unit than the token — it has not yet been reduced by a claim fee and can be spent directly on in-game cosmetics, boosts, and future unlocks without ever touching a wallet. Think of it as your in-game credit line backed by earned GP.

When you claim on ETH, wRST tokens represent a higher gross GP cost per token than RST on BTC — each wRST required ~125 GP gross to produce vs ~111 GP for RST. This makes the wRST grant contract harder to drain and gives wRST tokens a larger native GP footprint per unit.

Claim Flow — BTC (RST)

1. Player accumulates GP tab through gameplay
2. Player clicks CLAIM RST at /play
3. Server signs a cryptographic MLDSA voucher authorizing the mint
4. Player signs one TX in OP_WALLET — claimWithVoucher
5. RST minted to player (90% of tab) + grant pool (5%) + sRST vault (5%) atomically. No second TX.

Claim Flow — ETH (wRST)

1. Player accumulates GP tab through gameplay with ETH wallet connected
2. Player clicks CLAIM wRST at /play
3. Server signs an ECDSA voucher (EIP-191) authorizing the wRST mint
4. Player signs one TX in MetaMask/Phantom — claimWithServerSig
5. wRST minted to player wallet on Ethereum. Second 10% claim fee applied at this step.

The grant pool is self-refueling — fees from every claim flow back in, sustaining the economy without deployer intervention.

RST balance gates access to the game world. World gating is enforced server-side via real-time balance checks. Players automatically unlock new areas as their RST grows — no manual action required.

Players stake RST to earn rewards funded by the 5% staker fee on every player claim worldwide. In RST v15, staker rewards are distributed atomically on-chain inside every claimWithVoucher transaction — no server-side flush timer, no separate addRewards TX.

This means staking rewards work even if the server goes offline. They are a permanent on-chain primitive.

Stake Button Visibility — BTC L1 (sRST)

The stake button shows from Phase 2 onward with no upper cap. Staking 10+ RST unlocks Phase 3 for Phase 2 players. Phase 3 players can continue to stake any amount to compound rewards.

Stake Button Visibility — ETH (swRST)

ETH staking has no world-gating connection. It is an independent yield product for wRST holders on Ethereum.

Staking Activation (On-Chain Setup)

sRST staking requires 5 cold-wallet admin transactions post-deploy, each confirmed before the next:

Key Parameters

• Minimum stake: 10 RST (enforced on-chain and server-side)
• Maximum stake: None
• Exit fee: Applied on all unstakes (higher lockup tier = higher multiplier)
• Lock tier downgrade: Not permitted — unstake first before re-staking at a shorter tier

At character creation, players permanently choose a difficulty mode that multiplies all RST earnings for that character. This choice cannot be changed.

Hardcore players earn significantly more RST but face higher death risk, harder content, and greater danger from the Orange Pill world event.

Every 8 hours, a powerful creature called the Orange Pill spawns in the world. It roams, attacks players on sight, and cannot be soloed at typical levels. The community must band together to kill it.

• Warning broadcast appears in-game chat when the Orange Pill is incoming
• Boss HP scales with active player count
• Anyone within range at kill time earns RST rewards (proportional to damage dealt)
• Hardcore players earn 5× the RST reward from Orange Pill kills

A dedicated spend page lets players use RST/wRST to unlock in-game features. Spent tokens re-enter the grant pool — recirculating supply, not burning it. The economy is designed to be perpetual.

$GP is an experimental side-chain token concept. Think of it as a second layer of in-game economy — a separate OPNet OP20 that may be deployed alongside RST if the demand warrants it. No commitment to a timeline or deployment.

$GP is earned by spending in-game gold pieces (shop purchases, travel, construction fees) — not by earning them. It is proof of economic participation, not proof of effort.

The RST → GP Flywheel (Experimental)

RST holders earn more $GP than non-holders because they can access more of the game. When RST emissions eventually approach zero, $GP keeps the game economy incentivized forever.

Seasons 2 and beyond are future development and will only proceed if the community votes to activate them. Season 1 is the current live state.

Merlin's Death Mechanics (Season 3)

• Starvation — Treasury hits zero. Merlin announces shutdown countdown in-game.
• Community kills him — Players collectively convince Merlin (via in-game vote) to ban his own username and blacklist his own minter wallet. RST minting stops. The game freezes in time.

Community DAO Recovery

After Merlin dies, a 3-of-5 multisig DAO of community-elected keyholders calls setMinter on the RST contract, pointing it to a new community-hosted server.

RST-Gated Bot Access (Season 3)

Each chain uses the same server-signed claim pattern. The server key is the trust anchor on every chain. No traditional bridge infrastructure needed — the server already IS the trust layer that players accept by playing on it.

// wRST.sol (core pattern)
function claimWithServerSig(uint256 amount, bytes32 nonce, bytes calldata sig) external {
    require(!usedNonces[nonce], "already claimed");
    bytes32 hash = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(msg.sender, amount, nonce, block.chainid));
    bytes32 ethHash = keccak256(abi.encodePacked("\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n32", hash));
    require(recover(ethHash, sig) == serverSigner, "bad sig");
    usedNonces[nonce] = true;
    _mint(msg.sender, amount);
}

The sBTC Price Balancer

The long-term price anchor between BTC L1 and ETH is sBTC (Slohm BTC — a reserve token on BTC L1 built using OPNet smart contracts, paired on both BTC L1 and Ethereum):

BTC L1 MotoSwap:  RST / BTC      ← RST priced in BTC
ETH Uniswap:      wRST / sBTC    ← wRST priced in BTC (same unit)
→ sBTC is the balancer. One price. Two chains. Auto-synced by arbs.

Until the sBTC ETH pool is live: wRST/USDC is the initial ETH pool — functional, just floats independently vs. BTC price.

End State Liquidity

BTC L1 — RST + sRST

Ethereum — wRST + swRST

Supply Trajectory

Claim pools are fixed at deploy. As players earn they shrink. The 1% burn applies to every RST transfer. Early players earn more (larger pool, lower price). Later players earn less per GP but at higher market price. Emissions naturally slow as pools decrease — mirroring Bitcoin's supply curve at the application layer.
