how nubs works
nubs started as a social experiment on x. 3000 pixel cubes on robinhood chain, all minted. hold one, put it on shift in the cube farm, get a cut of everything the collection and the token earn. post about it and get more.
01nubonomics
buy a nub, burn the token to put it on shift, it earns a cut of royalties and token fees. post on x and earn more on top.
| source | rate | on shift | loud noobs | treasury | burned |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| nub sales (royalty, eth) | 5% | 2% | 2% | 1% | — |
| token buys and sells | 3% | 1% | 1% | 1% | — |
| tokens burned to cube in | all of it | 25% | 25% | — | 50% |
02the token
fixed. no mint function. it only goes down, through burns.
on buys and sells in the pool. wallet to wallet transfers are free.
burn it to put nubs on shift. the more you burn, the bigger your cut.

03the shift
nubs work in the cube farm. a nub earns only while it's on shift there. to cube it in, you burn tokens. the tier depends only on how much you burn, traits don't matter. any nub can be a nubzilla.
- each nub is cubed in on its own. four nubs can sit on four different tiers.
- upgrades cost the difference. sleepy → busy is 133,333.
- selling or sending a nub resets it. the new owner burns again.
- every step up costs more per unit of weight. sleepy is the best deal, nubzilla is for flexing and burning the most.
04on shift pool
passive income for holders. every time money lands in the pool it's split across all nubs on shift, by weight. nothing to do but hold.
1,500 nubs on shift with a total weight of 1,800. the pool gets $20,000 this week. a busy nub (1.6x) earns 1.6 ÷ 1,800 × $20,000 ≈ $17.80. a nubzilla (3.33x) ≈ $37.
claim whenever you want in the cube farm. nothing expires.
05loud noobs
the pool for people who post. every week it goes out to the nubs who actually make noise on x. you need at least one nub on shift and your x linked to your wallet.
- what counts: memes, art and video about nubs, posts that tag @nubs_on_x or the ticker, quotes and replies, and real reactions on your posts.
- quality over spam. original stuff people actually react to weighs more than copy-paste. daily limits on every action, so flooding the timeline does nothing.
- holding helps. a nub as your pfp and a higher tier on shift both give you a boost. posts still matter more than wallets.
- no whales. there's a cap per person, anything over it rolls into next week. part of the pool goes to the most viral posts of the week, the weekly legends.
- reactions only count from real, established accounts.
we don't publish exact points per action. the scoring keeps adapting so rewards go to the people who actually move nubs forward, not to whoever games a table.
06payouts
eth from royalties and fees gets swapped into tokenized stocks on robinhood chain as it comes in, in small steps, not in one weekly batch. the token side of fees and burns is paid out as the token. post, hold, get stocks.
- friday 16:00 utc the loud noobs week closes.
- activity is counted, bots are cut, results go up on the site.
- 24 hours to flag anything wrong.
- the team publishes the payout list onchain as a merkle root.
- claim in the cube farm. on shift drips live and claims any time; loud noobs claims open with each weekly list.
07contracts
everything that holds money lives onchain. the only offchain part is counting x posts, because the chain can't see x.
| contract | what it does | address |
|---|---|---|
| nubs (erc-721) | the nubs. 5% royalty to the splitter | live |
| token (erc-20) $NUBS | 1b fixed supply, 3% fee on pool trades | 0x687A…42B2 |
| splitter + fee router | split royalties and fees by the table above | at launch |
| shift registry | cube in and upgrades: takes tokens, burns half, sends half to the pools. resets on transfer | at launch |
| on shift pool | splits income by weight, live. claim anytime | at launch |
| loud pool | weekly payout list (merkle root), claim with a proof | at launch |
| stock swapper | eth → tokenized stocks, in small steps as income arrives | at launch |
08fair play
| trick | why it doesn't work |
|---|---|
| buy or rent a cubed-in nub | any transfer resets the shift |
| cube in right before a payout | you only earn from the moment you cube in |
| farm handles for loud noobs | needs a nub on shift. one handle, one wallet |
| bot likes | only real accounts count, and reactions stop counting past a point |
| spam posts and replies | daily limits on every action |
| one whale takes the loud pool | there's a cap per person, so the pool stays spread out |
09faq
do i need to burn to keep my nub?
no. a nub is yours either way. burning only puts it on shift so it earns.
can i take my nub off shift and get the tokens back?
no, burns are final. half is gone for good and half already went to the pools. you can sell the nub any time, it just resets.
what do i get paid in?
tokenized stocks on robinhood chain from the eth side, and the token from fees and burns.
do traits or 1/1s earn more?
no. only the tier you burn for. a 1/1 on sleepy earns like any sleepy nub.
how often can i claim?
on shift drips live, claim whenever. loud noobs adds to your claim every friday.
are these numbers final?
yes. burn amounts per tier are fixed in tokens and locked onchain before the farm opens. nobody can change them after that.
