These are honest interface labels, not live chain reads. No mint, activation, fee route or reward claim is live until a verified address appears in the Live Contracts table.

INK OPERATOR is a proposed collection of 4,444 animated vintage terminal NFTs on Ink. The finished art system uses six distinct television bodies and thirty CMD, market and network screen modes. Five unique ORBI artworks are confirmed as 1/1 pieces inside the same supply; final token IDs and class assignment remain unassigned.

The whitelist records an entry only. It does not guarantee allocation. Activation, fee routing, HYPE, commodities, stocks and reward accounting are design targets—not deployed products. No fixed activation cost has been approved.

Each Operator is generated deterministically as an animated 768×768 GIF with 18 frames at 85 ms per frame. The visual system combines ten environments, six separately designed old-TV bodies and thirty independent screen animations.

The assignment file and final metadata hash will be published only after ORBI IDs, class counts and reveal rules are approved.

Activation is planned as the action that places an Operator into its protocol-active state. The exact payment or burn asset, amount, permanence, eligibility rules and transfer behavior have not been finalized.

1. Connect the wallet that owns the Operator.
2. Select an eligible Operator and inspect the exact quoted action.
3. Review the asset, amount and whether the action is reversible.
4. Confirm only through a verified contract address.
5. Verify the emitted event and new state on the Ink explorer.

// conceptual only — no published ABI
function activate(uint256 operatorId, uint256 maxCost) external;
function OPERATORtate(uint256 operatorId) external view returns (uint8);
function pending(uint256 operatorId) external view returns (address asset, uint256 amount);

The art generator currently supports deterministic classes and weights for testing. Those values are not a promise of yield and may change when five ORBI IDs are reserved and the total distribution is rebalanced.

Final names, counts, weights and the assignment commitment must be approved together. A metadata label alone does not create an economic right.

The proposed system may queue protocol value and process it in disclosed accounting epochs. Minimum size, cooldown, conversion routes, claim rules and failure behavior are not final.

• Every supported destination must be explicit.
• Unprocessed funds must have a disclosed, auditable state.
• Keeper or operator powers must be listed as trust assumptions.
• Per-Operator accounting must prevent double claims.
• If processing stops, the docs must explain exactly where value remains.

These are planned Operator system categories. HYPE may refer to an Ink ecosystem asset or signal. Commodities and stocks may reference third-party tokenized products or data feeds. Final assets, issuers, routes, legal availability and failure modes must be disclosed before launch.

A future market may route fees toward Operator rewards, liquidity, treasury operations or token sinks. No percentages are approved for INK OPERATOR yet.

After deployment, percentages must be read from verified code. The website must not silently redefine them.

The NFT collection is intended to contain exactly 4,444 IDs, including five unique ORBI artworks. The final mint contract must enforce the cap, reserve rules and reveal path.

standardOPERATOR + reservedORBI = 4,444
reservedORBI = 5 // confirmed art; token IDs TBD

The final metadata commitment should be reproducible from a public assignment file. Reserved IDs, reveal order and replacement rules must be published before mint.

Production docs will disclose every privileged role: owner, pause authority, metadata manager, reward processor, treasury, recovery safe and any allowlist or market-control role.

• Privileged calls should emit events.
• Metadata freeze must be irreversible if marketed as frozen.
• Reward assets and conversion routes must be allowlisted transparently.
• Pause, upgrade and recovery powers are trust assumptions.
• Frontend status must never replace direct contract reads.

The final contracts will define whether active state, pending accounting and claim rights move with an Operator transfer. Creator royalties, if any, will be disclosed separately from protocol fees. Marketplace enforcement varies by venue.

1. Use only addresses in the Live Contracts table.
2. Open verified source on the official Ink explorer.
3. Compare supply, fee constants and privileged roles with this catalog.
4. Hash the final assignment and metadata files.
5. Confirm reveal URIs and freeze state directly onchain.

These signatures describe the intended product surface only. They are not a published ABI.

function activate(uint256 operatorId, uint256 maxCost) external;
function pending(uint256 operatorId) external view returns (address, uint256);
function claim(uint256[] calldata operatorIds) external;
function quoteActivation(uint256 operatorId) external view returns (address, uint256);
function systemStatus() external view returns (uint8);

The release includes /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt. Production versions should be generated from the same source as these docs so assistants, the website and verified contracts do not contradict each other.

The visual system comes from the OPERATOR themselves: signal violet, CRT green, deep terminal black, warm tube amber and cabinet brown.

• Whitelist entry may not result in allocation.
• The mint, activation and reward systems may change or never launch.
• Rewards may depend on volume that never arrives.
• Third-party tokenized assets introduce issuer, liquidity and jurisdiction risk.
• Smart-contract, router, oracle, keeper, frontend and chain failures can cause total loss.
• Administrative and upgrade powers are trust assumptions.
• NFTs and tokens may lose all value.
• Nothing here represents equity, dividends, guaranteed yield or investment advice.
