Counterparty (XCP) · interactive mechanism simulation

Burners send BTC to a provably unspendable address → XCP mints at a declining rate → XCP funds named-asset registrations and DEX orders → an NFT ecosystem (Rare Pepes, Spells of Genesis) grows on top, with no founder treasury to fund the grind.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched Counterparty mechanism (~2,125 BTC burned into ~2.6M XCP at a declining early rate, 0.5 XCP named-asset fee, on-chain DEX, no founder pre-mine), but trade sizes and timing are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. The "founders leave" button illustrates the real March 2015 departure of the founding team to Symbiont, which stalled ecosystem growth. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
