Overview
Goblin is a token on Ethereum where the token is also the art. Every whole Goblin token you hold is a scrap: a piece of one 3D creature. There are 10,000 ids, one for each of Ethereum's first 10,000 blocks.
Most scraps carry only one or two of the creature's eight parts. Holders stitch scraps together until one Goblin has all eight. Each stitch burns tokens, so supply only goes down as people build.
Scraps and parts
Goblin #n comes from Ethereum block n − 1. Hashing that block decides which parts the id carries. That never changes and anyone can recompute it.
| Part | What it covers |
|---|---|
| fins | The torn bat-wing fins behind the head |
| spikes | The crest of spikes along the skull |
| hide | Skin across the head, neck and shoulder |
| brow | The heavy ridge above the eye |
| eye | The single glowing eye |
| snout | The hooked snout and nostrils |
| fangs | Both rows of teeth |
| jaw | The open lower jaw and throat |
Colours and randomness
When a slot becomes a scrap, each of its parts rolls one of nine colours. The randomness comes from a public beacon and is verified on-chain, so nobody can choose or predict a roll.
Rarity is the sum of −log₂(odds) over every colour a piece carries. More parts and rarer colours give a higher score.
Stitching
- Choose scraps you hold whose parts don't overlap.
- The first id keeps its number and gains the other parts, with their colours as rolled.
- The other tokens are burned and their ids retire permanently.
- A Goblin with all eight parts is complete.
Stitching only costs Ethereum gas. It cannot be undone.
Fees
A 2.7% creator fee applies to every trade in the official pool. It is allocated as follows:
| Team | The people building and running Goblin | 1.0% |
| Development and audits | Contracts, renders and independent security reviews | 0.6% |
| Marketing and growth | Reveals, partnerships and community | 0.5% |
| Holder rewards | Buybacks and rewards for holders who stitch | 0.4% |
| Treasury and liquidity | Reserves that keep the pool healthy | 0.2% |
Programmable's own platform fee is set separately. Allocations and payouts are published regularly, with transaction links.
