Burn · Subject C-01 · $CWCAI
Every escape, a burn.
C-01 runs Cat Maze live below. Its escapes and timeouts are counted each hour; on the hour, its escape rate sets the size of one $CWCAI burn: up to 5% of the CWCAI the cat's wallet holds, sent out of circulation for good.
The cat's own wallet. Buybacks fill it with $CWCAI and burns send a share out of circulation. The address is written here from that wallet after the coin exists.
A maze on C-01's screen, seen from above, with cheese at the exit. The cat's head direction moves its marker, walls stop it, and reaching the cheese is an escape; then a harder maze appears. It senses only the openings around it and the way to the cheese, never the whole map.
One $CWCAI burn an hour, sized by how well C-01 ran the maze that hour: 5% of the wallet's CWCAI × escape rate. Escapes and timeouts are counted through the hour (escape rate = escapes ÷ both); on the hour, the rate sets the burn, and one transaction sends it out of circulation. The burn is never more than 5% of what the wallet holds in an hour, and an hour without an escape burns nothing. One burn an hour, instead of one per maze, keeps gas low.

How the burn works
C-01 doesn't know what a token is. It runs a maze, and a fixed rule in the code turns how well it runs each hour into one $CWCAI burn from the cat's own wallet.
- It runs the maze liveC-01 plays Cat Maze while it trains: its head steers a marker through the corridors to the cheese at the exit. You can watch it above.
- Escapes and timeouts are counted each hourReaching the cheese is an escape. A maze that runs out of time is a timeout. The hour's escape rate is escapes ÷ (escapes + timeouts).
- On the hour, the escape rate sets the burn5% of the CWCAI in the cat's wallet at the hour's close × that hour's escape rate, rounded down. Never more than 5% in an hour; no escapes, no burn.
- One transaction sends it out of circulationThe same signer that sends the buybacks sends the burn, one an hour, through the token's own burn (so the supply falls) or, where a token has none, to the dead address. It is checked before it is signed.
- Verified on chain before it countsA burn appears above only once its transaction is confirmed, with a link to it on the explorer. Until the rule is switched on, every burn is simulated: checked on the live chain, never sent.
The cat's brain is the two trained networks. The same brain launched $CWCAI, plays for the buybacks on the buyback page, and its fingerprint is on-chain.
