BTCBANG · Bitcoin Universe

Every Bitcoin block is a universe

Bitcoin produces a block every ten minutes, and the whole world sees the same new hash at once. Detonate it: the hash fixes constants like gravity, the speed of light and the number of dimensions, and a physics engine plays that universe forward from its first second to heat death — to see whether it can grow stars, chemistry, even observers.

The simulation yields a universe like ours, not ours. If you like it, mint it as an NFT; if it is dead, burn BANG to rescue it. It mints into the very same BNBBANG contract and pays out the very same BANG — this site only swaps the fuse.

Engine, live

Every frame below is a screenshot of the engine rendering live, untouched. They come from BNB-block universes on the sister site bnbbang.com — Bitcoin blocks run through the same engine and the same renderer. Each carries its source block; detonate the same block and this is what you get, or recompute it yourself with the open-source engine.

Three actions

The first two are nearly free. The third is the only scarce thing here.

01

Detonate

Pick a Bitcoin mainnet block: its hash deterministically unfolds into a full set of physical constants, and the engine plays out that universe on the spot. Same block, same universe — recomputable, not selectable.Derivation is open source — recompute it yourself: github.com/q3579338/bnbbang-engine

02

Mint

Keep it once it has 6 confirmations: it shares a hard cap of 1,707,000 with bnbbang.com. The first 1,000,000 are free and come with 50 BANG (10 per address across both sites); 0.01 BNB after that. One hash mints once — first come, first served.

03

Rescue

Most universes grow nothing. Burn BANG to nudge its constants and rescue a dead universe into one that can bear observers. Every token burned is destroyed for good, with no cut taken (current skim 0, contract cap 20%).

A universe every ten minutes

Bitcoin keeps the slowest and most public beat in the world: one block every ten minutes on average, and nobody can know the next hash in advance. The moment a block lands, anyone can look; after 6 confirmations (about an hour) it opens for minting, and whoever mints first keeps it.

≈10′

Block

A miner finds a hash under the difficulty target, roughly 19 leading zeros. Those 32 bytes existed nowhere before — now they are a set of physical laws.

0→6

Confirm

A block with fewer than 6 confirmations can still be reorganised, and a changed hash is a different universe. So you can look and fly through it in 3D, but the mint button waits for its birth certificate to be stamped — the page counts down.

1st

Race

The sixth confirmation lands and the block opens on both sites at once. One hash mints only once — first come, first served, verifiable on-chain. The genesis block and the four halving blocks open on 2026-09-12 at 12:00 UTC, first come first served.

Named blocks

Physical grade (S/A/B/C/D) depends on the hash alone; named blocks are a second layer on the card, each computed from the height or backed by a public source. Badges do not touch the physics — a halving block still has a 93% chance of blowing up into rubble.

One magazine, two fuses

BTCBANG issues no new token, opens no new pool and deploys no new contract. It mints into the same NFT contract as bnbbang.com and pays out the same BANG — even the 10 free mints per address share one counter.

Scarcity was never in the singularity; it is in the magazine. Bitcoin has 960 thousand blocks and BNB 120 million, both inexhaustible; the two sites together have only 1,707,000 slots. A second fuse adds no slots — it only adds a crowd that will pay for Bitcoin hashes, racing for the same magazine.

The two markets are one: BTC universes and BNB universes trade side by side, labelled "₿ #height" and "BNB #height". Anyone can take the height to the matching chain, check the hash, and know where it came from.

Why burned tokens are the value

Blocks are unlimited — Bitcoin has 960 thousand, BSC over a hundred million, and both keep growing. So "drawing a good universe" cannot carry value.

Only one thing can: rescuing a universe means really burning BANG, and BANG is finite.Every NFT is stamped with the total BANG burned on it during interventions (naming burns are counted separately), readable on-chain, impossible to fake.

Names work the same way: naming a universe burns BANG, look-alike names are folded together for the uniqueness check, and a taken name stays taken.

On-chain status

The same eight contracts as bnbbang.com; addresses and live status are read straight from the chain. Universe parameters are signed server-side before minting, and the signature is bound to the chain and contract, so it cannot be forged. For Bitcoin blocks the on-chain verified bit is always false (BSC cannot see Bitcoin); verify by taking the height to any Bitcoin node and comparing the hash.
