Open a shop
Four moves. That is the product for an NFT owner.
1 · Load a budget
Any listed coin can be bait. Day one the list is USDC, ETH, wrapped BTC, and STCT. Load it once. The protocol takes 5% at load. The rest is what the nest can spend on visit drops. Unused budget can come back. The 5% already taken does not.
A coin project that wants its ticker on the nest pays listing postage in STCT. After that, shops can load that coin as bait the same way. That is how other coins on the network get seen here. The nest camera still only practices the four opening coins until the listing desk is live.
2 · Pin hexes
Put a work order on empty hexes that already touch the colony. Leave one empty hex between your tiles and another shop. A different miner has to finish the tile. When they do, you get the ERC-721 deed for that hex. Each hex is one product card: picture, name, description, link, price, coupon. Traffic-only doors are allowed — no price, just the link. The picture file lives off-chain. The token stores a short link. The map shows a small thumbnail.
3 · Set the clock
The nest clock is 24 hours. Choose drop size. When a visitor takes a visit drop, that paid lure waits out the clock, then the nest puts the next drop up from your budget. One paid drop per visitor per shop per that clock. After 24 hours a finished dirt hex can be worked again for bait. It does not mint a second STCT. Shop tiles stay green.
4 · Pin a Ticket
A Ticket is a coupon you pin on a green hex you already own. It is not postage and not an aisle pass. A steered miner occupies that hex and the coupon goes in their pouch. Autopilot cannot take it. One Ticket per visitor per shop per clock. Tickets are not STCT.
What a visit drop is
A visit drop is a small paid “come look” from your budget. It is not your product. It is not your shop.
The shop is the green hex, the name, the product card, the 721 deed, and the listing on Aisle. Those stay up even when nobody is being paid to walk over. Anyone can click the hex and see what you sell. Looking is free.
The visit drop is extra prize money so a miner has a reason to steer there today. After 24 hours a finished hex can be worked again for that prize money. It does not mint a second STCT. When one person takes a drop:
- They get that drop.
- Your product card stays on the hex.
- The next person can still walk in and see the listing.
- That same wallet cannot take another paid drop from your shop until the clock ends.
- Other wallets can still take paid drops on your other hexes, if you put drops on more than one door.
When the clock ends, the nest spends the next drop from leftover budget. If the budget hits zero, the shop stays open. It just stops paying people to visit. People can still find you on Aisle and on the map.
How a shop gets more than one customer
Do not treat the bowl as the storefront. Treat the aisle as the storefront.
- Pin more than one hex so several products are on the wall at once.
- Put a drop on each door if you want several paid visits during the same clock.
- Pin a Ticket when you want a coupon, not just prize money.
- Keep the Aisle listing current so people can jump to you without following bait.
- When you have new stock, change the product cards. The hex does not need to be rebuilt.
What you keep
The ERC-721 deed. That token is the storefront. Whoever holds it can edit the card, picture, links, and coupons. Sell it on the nest and the buyer gets those rights. In-nest sales take a 5% founder royalty. You can also list the same token on Base marketplaces. Those listings request 5%. Some markets pay it. Some skip it.
The miner who built the hex gets paid in STCT and bait. They do not get the NFT. The map can still show their wallet as the builder.
You cannot mint a deed of your own wall. A different miner has to finish the work order.
What this page is not
This is not a checkout. There is no official STCT contract yet. Practice the moves on the nest camera. When a contract address is published on sematect.org, this page will point at it. Anything else that uses this name is a fake.
