Royalty & Staking System Official Whitepaper

1. Introduction

INKs is a collection of 999 unique Bitcoin Ordinals. Each INK is a root digital asset designed to unlock real economic utility through permanent royalty traits. The system connects Ordinals to real product sales and NFT secondary markets without guarantees, fixed yields, or financial promises.

2. Core Principles

INKs is built on asset-centric design, real economic activity, permanence of unlocked traits, modularity, and the absence of guaranteed returns. Value is attributed to the INK itself, not to ongoing participation or staking after unlock.

3. The INKs Collection

The collection consists of 999 non-fungible Bitcoin Ordinals. Each INK has a unique ID and acts as the reference asset for all derived utilities. No Ordinal is bridged, locked, or economically duplicated.

 

4. Staking System (Stakit)

Staking is used exclusively to accumulate Stakink Points and unlock rewards or traits. Each staked INK generates 500 Stakink Points per day. Points are non-transferable, have no monetary value, and cannot be traded.

 

5. Royalty Traits Overview

INKs introduces three permanent royalty traits: Merch Royalty, Base Royalty, and Solana Royalty. Each trait costs 30,000 Stakink Points and can be unlocked independently, in any order.

 

6. Merch Royalty

The Merch Royalty trait activates an INK as an official product line in the INKs store. For each sale, 10% of the net profit is recorded as royalty and assigned to the wallet owning the INK at the moment of sale. Royalties are distributed in BTC every three months during the INK Halving event.

 

7. Base Royalty

The Base Royalty trait enables a cloned representation of the INK on a dedicated Base chain collection. Each secondary sale generates a 5% royalty assigned to the wallet owning the original INK.

 

8. Solana Royalty

The Solana Royalty trait enables a cloned representation of the INK on a dedicated Solana collection. Each secondary sale generates a 5% royalty assigned to the wallet owning the original INK.

 

9. Ownership & Attribution

Royalties are assigned based on INK ownership at the time of the economic event. Royalties are not retroactive. If an INK is sold, future royalties follow the new owner.

 

10. Compliance & Risk

The INKs system does not guarantee returns and does not constitute a financial product. Royalties depend entirely on real sales and market conditions. Amounts may be zero.

 

11. Conclusion

INKs introduces a modular, asset-based royalty system for Bitcoin Ordinals, enabling real economic participation without financial guarantees.
