The gateway to the Eternal Terminal

Origin

Coordination Failure

When Bitcoin was created in 2009, cryptography declared war on coordination failure. Cubits are digital artifacts crystallized from the raw energy of entire Bitcoin blocks — each one representing the full hashpower of a single block, condensed into an immutable ordinal.

Crystalized Onchain Data

Each Cubit displays its onchain provenance: block height, inscription number, energy condensed, hashrate exposure, & formation time. The 4D tesseract visualization rotates through states, a geometric proof of the energy locked within.
