The Dawn of Machines runs on the Internet Computer Protocol — every canister is a piece of code that lives on-chain forever, but only if it has cycles. Cycles are the gas that powers every query, every tick of a mission timer, every burn, every cert mint, every staking calculation.
We've fully funded all 9 canisters for the foreseeable future, but as DOM grows — more players, more missions, more burns — the canisters consume cycles faster. If you'd like to help keep the lights on, this page is for you. Every cycle donated extends the lifespan of the entire ecosystem.
None of this is required. The Dawn does not pass the hat. But if you've found value here, this is the door to support it directly.
The simplest way: send ICP to the DOM Treasury principal below. We convert ICP to cycles weekly and distribute to whichever canisters need them most.
// From Plug, NNS dApp, or any ICRC-compatible wallet: paste the principal as the recipient, enter any amount of ICP, send. Confirmation appears in seconds.
For the technically-inclined: send cycles directly to whichever canister you want to support via the NNS dApp. Open nns.ic0.app, go to Canisters, click Add Existing Canister, paste the canister ID, then top up.
Every donation — large or small, ICP or cycles — gets logged and acknowledged in SIIGNAL. You're not buying anything. You're keeping a public utility alive. That's a different kind of trade.
