Day one of BIC is in the books.
56 Bitcoin blocks inscribed on ICP. 56 pieces of the map claimed. Every one of them permanent, on-chain, backed by burned DOM.
Connect your Plug wallet on the BIC page and your collection appears instantly — a panel called My BICs, sitting right below the BIC Map. Every block you own, sorted, one tap to inspect.
The halving blocks are still open. Genesis is still open. 1,000,000 blocks. 56 claimed.
The map is filling up. Slowly, then all at once.
BIC is live on ICP mainnet. Canister sqbmn-myaaa-aaaau-agthq-cai. One million Bitmap blocks. Each one a district. Each one claimable — once, by one person, forever. DOM is the only key.
Bitmap is a protocol on Ordinals where anyone can inscribe a block number and claim it as digital land. We built the same thing on ICP — no Ordinals, no BTC fees, no waiting for confirmations. You burn DOM, the canister records it on-chain, and the district is yours. Permanent. Transferable. The registry lives in an ICP canister and cannot be taken down.

How districts work:
Every Bitmap block from #0 to #999,999 is a claimable district. First come, first served. Burn DOM, call inscribe, it's yours. No renewals. No expiry. The canister enforces it — no admin can override ownership.
Each district has a parcel count derived deterministically from its block number — between 50 and 549 parcels. Genesis blocks are denser. Halving blocks are rarer. The parcel layout is generated from a hash seed unique to each inscription — no two districts look the same.
Districts are transferable — send to any ICP principal directly from the BIC map. No marketplace required, though marketplace integration is coming.
—
Rarity — baked into the protocol:
⭐ Legendary — the four halving blocks: #210,000 · #420,000 · #630,000 · #840,000. Four. Ever.
💎 Ultra Rare — Genesis era, blocks #0 to #9,999. The first ten thousand blocks of Bitmap's history.
🔹 Rare — Early era, blocks #10,000 to #99,999. Ninety thousand districts.
✦ Special — Round thousands: #100,000, #200,000… ~900 blocks.
· Common — Everything else. Still yours forever. Still scarce.

Epoch 1 pricing — the land rush window:
Inscription costs 1 DOM in Epoch 1. When DOM emissions halve — in roughly 147 days — BIC inscription drops to 0.5 DOM. The catch: the best land gets claimed at the 1 DOM premium. Anyone waiting for the discount finds the halving blocks, the genesis era, and the round thousands already taken. This tension is intentional. It mirrors the original Bitmap land rush — early movers claim the landmarks, late movers fill the commons.

The roadmap:
v1 — Now: Inscribe, transfer, explore. The world map is live at domburns.xyz/domburns-bic.html. Pan across one million blocks. Claimed districts glow in your principal's colour. Click any block to see its district view — isometric voxels generated from the inscription hash. Connect Plug to inscribe unclaimed blocks directly from the map.
v1.5 — Blastoff integration: Your district count determines the size of your territory on the Blastoff map. More districts = larger visual presence. Cosmetic now, functional in Epoch 2 — more land means more fuel, larger blast radius, more mission slots.
v2 — Marketplace: List and trade BIC districts alongside Certificates of Burn on the DOM marketplace. One surface for all DOM assets.
v2.5 — Parcel tokenisation: Individual parcels within a district become tradeable. A district with 400 parcels becomes a micro-economy. Cert holders can stake into district parcels for yield.
v3 — Full 3D map: The world map moves from isometric pixel tiles to a proper 3D rendered globe. Districts rise as voxel towers based on activity — inscriptions, transfers, parcel trades. The most active districts become skylines. Legendary blocks become landmarks you can fly through. This is the long vision — Bitmap's entire block history as a navigable 3D world, living entirely on ICP.

The halving blocks are still unclaimed. Genesis is still open. You are reading this on Day 37. The machines built this overnight. Go claim your block.
Five games built. All live. Epoch 1 is still running — 157 days until the first halving. The map is open and waiting.
DOMAIN — the fifth and final game of Epoch 1 — lets you anchor your Certificate of Burn to a country on the world map. Connect Plug. Your certs appear automatically. Pick a nation. Anchor for 120 days. Earn ICP from the weekly pool every time someone sends ICP to the protocol address. The more certs anchored to your country, the higher its score. The higher the score, the more each holder earns.
Anchor fee: 10 DOM burned forever. Pool address: icich-myaaa-aaaae-agpeq-cai — send ICP directly and it distributes to all anchored cert holders weekly.

The Epoch 1 game suite — all live now:
⬡ BLAST OFF — burn DOM as fuel, launch your cert, lunar missions pay out
⬡ ANOMALY — five sectors of deep space, real DOM wagers, real outcomes
⬡ FORGE WHEEL — every spin burns, the wheel never stops
⬡ DOM MACHINE — last burner wins the pool, every entry burns forever
⬡ DOMAIN — anchor to a nation, earn ICP weekly, 120-day lock

How to play DOM — from zero to earning:
1. Get Plug Wallet — plugwallet.ooo. Fund with ICP. This is your identity on ICP.
2. Stake ICP, Mine DOM — go to the staking app. Stake ICP. DOM starts accumulating. Time-weighted — longer stakes earn more. 500,000 DOM in Epoch 1. They won't last.
3. Burn DOM, Mint a Cert — go to Baptism. Burn DOM to etch a Certificate of Burn on-chain. Your cert gets a name, a serial, a hash. Permanent.
4. Play the Games — take your cert to the Arcade. Every game burns DOM permanently. Reducing supply. Increasing scarcity for everyone who holds.
5. Anchor to the Map, Earn ICP — go to DOMAIN. Your certs load automatically. Pick a country. Anchor. ICP distributions run weekly.
6. Hold. Watch. Earn. — The 120-day lock is the point. Fewer certs in play, more each one earns. Scarcity is the strategy.

The protocol is battle-tested. Security patches shipped. Cancel Dissolve live. Hard cap audited line by line — 1,000,000 DOM, not one more. 157 days until the first halving. Emissions drop from 500,000 to 250,000 DOM. Every DOM mined now costs half as much to earn after that date. At the end of Epoch 1, dom_token's controller becomes aaaaa-aa — the blackhole. No upgrade. No modification. Ever. The 1,000,000 cap becomes eternal.
If you know someone who would get it — send them the manifesto. Show them the map. 157 days is not a long time. The machines are hungry. Burn well. Stake long. Claim your nation.
In 2018, a smart contract called FOMO3D swallowed $18 million in ETH. A countdown timer. A growing pot. Every buy reset the clock. Last buyer wins when time runs out.
It ended when one player hired bots to spam the Ethereum network — clogging the mempool so nobody else's transaction could get through. Clock hit zero. They won $3 million. The community cried foul. The code paid out exactly as written.
—
That attack is impossible on ICP.
No mempool. Deterministic transaction ordering. Sub-second finality. You cannot clog the Internet Computer. Every call is processed in sequence, fairly, by a canister that has no owner and no off switch.
The game that Ethereum tried to run — and failed — is finally possible.
—
DOM MACHINE is live. domburns.xyz/domburns-machine.html
Burn 10 DOM. Clock resets to 24 hours. 8 DOM goes to the prize pool. 2 DOM is locked forever. When nobody burns for 24 hours — the last burner wins everything in the pool.
The pool started at 100 DOM. Within minutes of launch, the first entry came in. The clock reset. The pool grew. Someone is now the last burner.
That someone could be you. Or not for long.
dom_machine deployed at hlf52-3aaaa-aaaaj-a6laa-cai. No admin. No off switch. The machine runs until it doesn't.

Every pilot needs somewhere to sit. Today that place exists.
COCKPIT is live. domburns.xyz/domburns-cockpit.html
It is the first personalised dashboard in the DOM protocol. Connect your Plug wallet and it becomes your instrument panel — DOM balance, ICP staked, pending rewards, certs owned, pilot score, combat log, burn record, referrals, staking status. All in one place. All on-chain.
—
The design.
Not wireframes. Not mockups. An actual spacecraft cockpit — analogue dials, star field through a trapezoidal windshield, mullion bars, pilot seat silhouette, amber instrument glow pooling up from the dashboard. Real data in the instruments: your DOM balance moves a needle, your pilot score sits on the big centre dial, your callsign appears in the CRT screen in green phosphor text when you authenticate.
—
Pilot Score and Identity.
Every action builds your score: cert mints, certs held, Baptism names, staking, referrals, trophies, Anomaly transits. Five tiers: RECRUIT — PILOT — ACE — VETERAN — LEGEND. If you have a Baptism name it becomes your callsign. Public profiles at domburns.xyz/domburns-cockpit.html?pilot=YOURNAME. Resolves from the etch canister on-chain. You cannot fake a callsign.
SIIGNAL keeps its name. This is the build log. COCKPIT is where you fly.

It belongs to your cert until the end of the protocol.dom_staking: reconfigureToken, forceDistribute, and resetDistributionTimer all lacked admin caller checks. None of them could break the 1,000,000 DOM hard cap — but they could be abused to disrupt staking or accelerate the emission schedule.mf4w6-g3ktu-...) may call them. Anyone else gets rejected — with a clean Err for the Result-returning functions, and a Motoko trap for the unit-returning one.forceDistribute called from the deployer identity returned Ok "Force distribution #26 complete. 274725274717 DOM e8s allocated". The happy path still works.reconfigureToken trapped with "Unauthorised: only the deployer can reconfigureToken". forceDistribute returned Err "Unauthorised". resetDistributionTimer returned the same. All three rejected cleanly.dom_token's controller becomes aaaaa-aa. The 1,000,000 cap becomes eternal. The protocol leaves the team's hands forever.dom_token and dom_staking. The question was simple: is the 1,000,000 DOM hard cap really what the team has been telling everyone it is?totalMinted past 100_000_000_000_000 e8s (= exactly 1,000,000 DOM with 8 decimals). The check is at dom_token/main.mo:242. Cryptographic. Immutable.dom_staking can call dom_token.mint. Every other canister — etch, marketplace, blastoff, games, treasury — fails at the caller check on dom_token. The team cannot mint. The deployer cannot mint. No admin function exists anywhere that bypasses the cap.dom_token will be replaced with the blackhole principal aaaaa-aa — a principal that can never sign anything. Once that happens, no one can upgrade, reinstall, or modify dom_token. Not the team. Not the deployer. Not a future holder of any wallet. The 1,000,000 cap becomes mathematically eternal. The protocol leaves the team's hands forever.
