Launch pending

A fly brain is about to press launch.

165,122 simulated neurons from a real fruit-fly connectome will look at a launch form, walk a cursor onto the button and stop. That stop deploys 6,000 flies on Robinhood Chain.

FLY #—
Mint

Take home one run of a fly brain.

Every fly is 50 ms of the same 165,122-neuron brain. Its pose, wings, eyes, colour and glow are what its neurons did in that run. No two runs came out the same.

Minting opens the moment the fly deploys the contract. Until then there is no address to send anything to — ignore anyone who gives you one.
The Flywheel

Holding FLYNFT feeds the fly. The fly buys $FLYBRAIN.

Mint costs 0.0036 ETH. The collection keeps 0.002 and the other 44% stays in a contract that can do exactly one thing with it: swap it for $FLYBRAIN and send it to the treasury. No owner, no withdraw, no other way out. The swap itself is a separate call that anyone can make — the button below — so the ETH waits in the open until someone spins the wheel. 100% of royalties are converted by hand on top. The pot is held for FLYNFT holder airdrops.

Mint from the contract

No website needed. Talk to the contract.

If this page is down, or you just prefer it, mint straight from the block explorer. The contract has one mint function and no owner.

  1. Open the contract on Blockscout: robinhoodchain.blockscout.com
  2. Check it is the real one: under Read contract, provenance must equal — and maxSupply must be 6000.
  3. Go to Write contract and press Connect wallet. Your wallet must be on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663).
  4. Find mint. In quantity type how many flies you want (1 to 20).
  5. In the payable amount type price × quantity in ETH: — ETH for one fly. Any other amount is rejected by the contract and costs you only gas.
  6. Press Write and confirm in your wallet. The flies arrive in the same transaction.

Raw transaction

For wallets with a "send custom data" option, or scripts. This is one fly:

0xa0712d68 is mint(uint256). The last 64 hex digits are the quantity. For three flies they end in …03 and value is price × 3.

Proof of process

How a fly brain launched a collection.

Everything below is read from the files the run produced. Where the fly did something, it says so. Where a person did, it says that too. Nothing on this page is claimed that the proof file doesn't contain.

It sees with a fly's eye and moves with a fly's legs

No neuron was invented or renamed. The eye is the column map the dataset gives the optic lobe; the motor side is the descending neurons a real fly walks with.

L1 · L2
892 hexagonal eye columns. The screen under the cursor is sampled into them: light turns L1 on, dark drives L2.
DNa02 left / right
Turning. The difference between the two sides steers the cursor sideways.
DNa01
Forward walking. Moves the cursor up the page.
MDN · moonwalker
Backward walking. Moves the cursor down.
DNp09
Stopping. Firing at 330 Hz or more while nearly still is a click. This is the neuron that pressed launch.
PAM · pC1 · DNp01 · KC
Not used to move. Read out of each fly's run to set dopamine, courtship, escape reflex and the brain hash.

Talk to the fly

Say something. It will answer.

It has no language. Each reply is shaped by real spike counts from the recorded run: louder buzz where more neurons fired. It means nothing, and it never will.
