Cars (Gas NFTs)

There are three tiers. The tier sets a car’s weight, and every car with a use left adds its weight to your garage. A claim pays your whole garage, not any one car alone. The weights live on the collection contract.

• Gas Clunker is tier 0, the starter. It pays 1× the base rate, and a new one comes with 3 uses.
• GTR is tier 1. It pays 2.1× the base rate and comes with 5 uses.
• Gas Porsche is tier 2. It pays 10.2× the base rate and comes with 7 uses.

Only the Gas Clunker is ever free, and only for the first 500 of them. While that quota lasts, a wallet can mint one, once, with no minimum $GAS to hold. When the quota runs out, Clunkers cost $GAS too, the way the GTR and the Gas Porsche always have. Every car above the Clunker is bought. You never earn one by burning an old one, and you can buy any tier without owning the one below it.

After a paid claim your wallet has to wait before the next one. The wait starts at 24 hours. The number of cars you hold takes time off it, down to a floor of 12 hours. Any tier counts, and a car with no uses left still counts.

• 1 or 2 cars: 24 hours
• 3 or 4 cars: 21 hours
• 5 to 9 cars: 18 hours
• 10 to 19 cars: 15 hours
• 20 or more cars: 12 hours

These numbers live on the collection contract, which enforces the wait itself, and the app shows you your exact wait before you drive anywhere.

Every car starts with a set number of uses: 3 at tier 0, 5 at tier 1, 7 at tier 2. A paid claim spends one use on every car in your garage that still has one, the same cars that counted toward what the claim paid. A car with no uses left cannot claim and is skipped until you repair it. A repair fills one car back up to its tier’s full count, and it costs a flat price in $GAS.

A car you have used up still counts toward the shorter cooldown above.

Cars move only through the marketplace. Until the marketplace contract is live, they do not move at all.
