VESTA.TAX

Robinhood Chain · issuance receipt · $VESTA

Burn the token.
Keep the hearth.

The tax is the burn. You destroy $VESTA. Nobody holds your coins. What remains is a Seal — a cancelled quantity, stamped on-chain with the exact amount. Named for the curve that sits beside Pallas in Orchard. The same geometry that will one day issue shielded assets on Zcash.

One way. No escrow. No take-backs.

Three movements.

  1. 01

    Hold $VESTA

    One billion minted once. No owner. No second mint. The supply only moves one direction after deploy: down.

  2. 02

    Offer it to the Seal

    Approve the hearth. Call seal(amount). Minimum one million. The contract pulls the tokens and burns them in the same transaction.

  3. 03

    Keep the receipt

    You receive an on-chain Seal NFT. Amount. Timestamp. SVG stamped CANCELLED. A stolen minter cannot invent one. The tokens are gone.

Why this name

Vesta sits beside Pallas.

Halo 2, the proving system inside Zcash Orchard, is built on a cycle of elliptic curves. One of them is Pallas. The other is Vesta. They prove each other. That pairing is the geometry behind ZIP-227 — Zcash Shielded Assets — the future issuance of private tokens on Zcash.

ZSAs are not live. Until they are, the issuance receipt has to live somewhere honest. Vesta records it on Robinhood Chain: destroy a public token, keep a public seal. When native shielded assets exist, each seal is already a cancelled quantity — a burned allotment that cannot be printed again.

Where the idea came from

The spark is ZcashMEME.

The rite starts there: burn a meme on Solana, write a memo, watch it land as a Zcash inscription. Launch on Solana. Register on Zcash. That repo — github.com/BasedDEV101/ZcashMEME — and the live altar zcashstamp.com are the reason Vesta exists.

Beautiful lore. Fragile bridge. A watcher has to notice the burn. The inscription might not land. Vesta keeps the theology and collapses the machinery: one chain, one transaction. Burn and seal are atomic. No watcher. No memo. No “did it inscribe?” The receipt is the NFT. The tax is the token you never get back.

That is why the domain is vesta.tax. Not a yield. Not a refund. A tax you choose — paid in $VESTA, kept as firelight.

On-chain, or it did not happen

Contracts.

The hearth

Cancel a quantity.

Connect a Robinhood Chain wallet. Offer at least one million $VESTA. The Seal arrives in the same breath the tokens die.

Wallet idle.
