The Lithos

What is The Lithos?

The Lithos is a fully decentralized project built on the BNB Smart Chain. Every block you mint earns you something, no matter when you join. Mint early and you earn more passive income from every future sale. Mint later and your block gets more raffle tickets, giving you a higher chance of winning the lottery. Early or late, you win either way. There is no backend server, no centralized database, and no middleman. Everything runs entirely on smart contracts.

How It Works

The Structure

The Lithos is built in layers. Each layer holds more blocks than the one above it.

         *            Layer 1:  1 block
       * * *          Layer 2:  3 blocks
     * * * * *        Layer 3:  5 blocks
   * * * * * * *      Layer 4:  7 blocks
 * * * * * * * * *    Layer 5:  9 blocks
       ...

The structure grows one layer at a time. Layer 1 has 1 block, layer 2 has 3, layer 3 has 5, and so on. Each block is unique and yours to own.

Minting

Each block costs 100 USDT. You can mint multiple blocks in a single transaction, up to the remaining capacity of the current layer.

Earning From Every Future Sale

This is where it gets interesting. Every time a new block is minted after yours, you earn a share of that sale, no referrals needed. You earn passively just by holding your block. Referring others is optional, but it gives you a cut of their lottery winnings if they win.

Here's how the revenue from each 100 USDT sale is split:

Share	Goes To
65%	Distributed as profit to all earlier block holders
15%	Lottery prize pool
20%	Block #0 holder (project fee)

The 65 USDT profit share is split equally among all layers from layer 1 up to the new block's layer. Within each layer, the profit is then split equally among all eligible blocks. This means blocks on earlier (smaller) layers earn a larger per-block share, rewarding early participants.

Example: If a new block is minted on layer 3, the 65 USDT is split into 3 equal parts, one for each layer. Layer 1 has just 1 block, so it gets the full 21.67 USDT. Layer 2's 3 blocks split 21.67 USDT equally. And so on.

Your earnings grow with every single mint that comes after you.

No Backend, Fully On-Chain

The Lithos has no backend server. There is no API, no database, and no server to go down.

• All profit calculations happen directly in the smart contract

• All lottery draws are triggered automatically on-chain

• All referral tracking is stored on the blockchain

• The frontend reads directly from the smart contract

This means the project runs 24/7 without anyone needing to maintain it. As long as the BNB Chain exists, The Lithos works.

Lottery

A portion of every sale (15%) goes into a lottery pool. When the total number of minted blocks hits a milestone, a lucky block holder wins a massive prize. Your block number is your ticket count, so the higher your block number, the greater your chances of winning.

Milestones

Prizes are paid incrementally. Each milestone pays out the pool accumulated since the last draw.

Milestone	Prize Pool
1,000 blocks	15,000 USDT
10,000 blocks	135,000 USDT
100,000 blocks	1,350,000 USDT
1,000,000 blocks	13,500,000 USDT
69,000,000 blocks	1,020,000,000 USDT

How Winners Are Picked

We use Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function) to pick lottery winners. Chainlink is an industry-standard oracle that provides provably fair, tamper-proof random numbers on-chain. No one, not even the project team, can predict or manipulate the outcome.

Each block gets a number of "tickets" equal to its token ID. Higher-numbered blocks have more tickets, so they have a slightly higher chance of winning. But every single block has a shot.

The winner receives 95% of the prize, and the remaining 5% goes to the winner's referrer as a bonus.

Referral System

Every block is linked to a referrer. When you mint, you can provide a referral ID (the token ID of the person who referred you). If no valid referral is provided, it defaults to block #0.

Referral Rewards

If a block you referred wins the lottery, you receive 5% of their prize. Here's what that looks like at each milestone:

Milestone	Referrer Gets (5%)
1,000 blocks	750 USDT
10,000 blocks	6,750 USDT
100,000 blocks	67,500 USDT
1,000,000 blocks	675,000 USDT
69,000,000 blocks	51,000,000 USDT

Referral rewards are claimable at any time directly from the smart contract. No waiting periods, no approvals needed.

Smart Contracts

The Lithos consists of two core smart contracts:

LithosNFT: The NFT itself. Built on ERC-721A for gas-efficient batch minting. This contract handles token ownership, transfers, and metadata.

The Lithos: The brain of the project. This contract handles:

• Minting logic and payment collection

• Profit calculation and distribution

• Lottery triggers and prize distribution

• Referral tracking and reward payouts

• Owner deposit distribution

The main contract is upgradeable (UUPS proxy pattern), allowing for bug fixes and improvements without losing any data or user funds.
