What a Deed earns

Beyond its Fertilizer, a Founding Deed earns in three ways, each set by its Fertility:

The Root Cellar

The Root Cellar is the ETH that backs the Founding Deeds. Every Fert Deck build fee goes into it, and every Deed, staked or not, owns a share of it set by its Fertility. The only way to collect a share is to burn a staked Deed. Verified

Root Cellar of a Deed = backing × F / 19,773

Backing is the ETH held for the Deeds, F is the Deed’s Fertility and 19,773 is the total Fertility of all 3,333 Deeds. The game’s own burn quote returns exactly this.

The 19,773 counts every Deed, including the ones that are not staked. An unstaked Deed’s share keeps growing like any other; it only has to be staked before it can be burned.

Today’s values

The backing is the whole ETH balance held for the Deeds, which so far equals every Fert Deck build fee paid (0.01 ETH each). It is shared by Fertility: a Deed’s Root Cellar is backing × F ÷ total Fertility. Verified The game does not show it on screen yet; the Deed panel shows each Deed’s backing once burning opens. Verified

Where it comes from

The docs’ overview adds that “every $YIELD trade also fills the deeds’ Root Cellars”: part of the $YIELD tax goes to the Root Cellar (rate not announced). Official source Sale fees go to the Buyback vault. Verified

Worked example. Each new deck adds 0.01 ETH, of which a Common’s share is 0.01 × 5 / 19,773 = 0.0000025 ETH and a Mythic’s 0.0000046 ETH. A thousand more builds would raise a Mythic’s Root Cellar by about 0.0046 ETH. Inferred

Deed rewards

Staked Founding Deeds will earn $YIELD, “split by Fertility”. Rewards start when $YIELD launches, with no back pay for the time before. Verified

The reward mechanics are already in place for staking on mainnet, waiting for a $YIELD token to be set. The token can be set only once. Verified

The claim fee

Every claim pays a 10 % fee: half goes back to all staked Deeds and half goes to the Silo.

The fee is 10 %, split 5 % to stakers and 5 % to the Silo. The team can change the split. May change The game shows reward amounts already net of the fee: “The estimate above is already net of it.” Verified

Worked example. A wallet claims 1,000 $YIELD of gross rewards. It receives 900 $YIELD. 50 $YIELD is shared among all staked Deeds and 50 $YIELD goes to the Silo. A Mythic burned right after, with that 50 $YIELD as the whole Silo, would win 45 $YIELD as its Windfall. Inferred

Because the fee is a percentage, how often a holder claims does not change what it pays. The 5 % paid back means every claim by anyone adds a little to every staked Deed, and the 5 % to the Silo means every claim adds to what the next burn can win. Inferred

Where the rewards come from

The docs list Deed rewards, a further blacked-out item and the Silo as “lined up for staked deeds”, and say “Additional rewards for deed owners will be launched when the farming game launches”. Official source Rewards are paid from a $YIELD reward pool; how much flows into it, and from where, is not visible yet. Verified

The Silo and the Windfall

The Silo is a pot of $YIELD for Deed holders, filled by the claim fee above: it receives 5 % of every Deed-reward claim. When a staked Deed is burned, it wins a share of the Silo, the Windfall, on top of its Root Cellar in ETH. The game also calls the same pot the “Deed Jackpot”. Verified The Silo is inert until $YIELD launches.

A single burn wins a fixed share of the Silo as it is at that moment, set by the Deed’s Fertility:

The game sets the share as a curve: 10 % per Fertility point from a base of 0, capped at 100 %, so share = min(F × 10 %, 100 %). Verified The team can change the curve, and it applies only once $YIELD is live. May change

Because the largest share is 90 %, a single burn never takes the whole Silo; the docs say “the Silo never empties”. Official source

A race, not a split

Within a batch, Deeds are “processed 1 at a time, and each takes its share of what the last one left”.

win     = remaining Silo × share(F)
remaining Silo = remaining Silo − win

Worked example. Say the Silo holds 10,000 $YIELD. Inferred

The same three Deeds in another order pay out differently: a Common first would win 5,000, leaving the Mythic 4,500. The first burn after the Silo has filled takes the most; a burn that follows another one gets a share of a much smaller pot. The same logic holds between separate transactions: each burn sees the Silo as the last burn left it. Inferred

Burning

Burning is the only way to collect a Root Cellar share or a Windfall. Burning is not open yet.

What a burn pays, straight to the wallet:

If $YIELD opens or closes between review and sending: “The $YIELD Jackpot opened or closed since your review, so this burn pays differently now.” Verified

Why a burn does not change the backing per point

A burned Deed takes out exactly its share, backing × F / total, and its Fertility leaves the total with it. What remains per point is the same:

before:  backing / total
after:   (backing − backing × F / total) / (total − F)  =  backing / total

So a burn does not raise or lower anyone else’s Root Cellar. What changes is the future: every later inflow is divided among fewer Fertility points. The docs put it as “each burned deed means future fees are shared among fewer deeds”. Inferred

Example (figures of 8 Nov 2026). With 29.58 ETH and 19,773 points, a Mythic burn pays 0.013464 ETH. The backing becomes 29.566536 ETH over 19,764 points: still 0.0014960 ETH per point. The next 0.01 ETH build fee is then shared over 19,764 points instead of 19,773.

Still REDACTED

• The share of $YIELD buy and sell taxes that goes to the Root Cellar.
• The share of $YIELD taxes and game fees routed to Deeds as rewards.
• The size of Deed rewards.
• Exactly how the reward pool is shared among Deeds. The docs say “split by Fertility”.
• The timing of the stakers’ 5 % payout to the other Deeds.
• The reward the docs list next to Deed rewards and the Silo (“A share of ████”).
• How fast the Silo will fill: it depends on the size of Deed rewards.
• Whether the current Windfall curve (50 % to 90 %) is the final setting.
• When burns open. Burning is not open yet.
