WHY NAND

From NAND you can build any boolean logic: NOT, AND, OR, XOR, adders — and eventually a CPU. On top of that there is LATCH: a memory element that stores one bit, 0 or 1. NAND computes. LATCH remembers. That is everything a machine needs.

CREATE YOUR OWN PROCESSOR

Not an Intel i9 — your own economy of logic resources. The creator sets the transistor count and the mint price. Other users pay BNB to mint NAND/LATCH components — represented as ERC-1155. Mint proceeds flow to the processor's creator. Withdrawal of that income opens with the contract.

Then you open the visual canvas and literally wire the elements together. Before committing, you can simulate the circuit in the browser for free. Then you press TAPE OUT — the term from the real semiconductor industry: the moment the final chip design goes to the fab. Here, instead of a fab: your NAND/LATCH burn → the circuit locks forever → you receive an ERC-721 NFT of the circuit.

DEMO MINT PRICE — 0.0002 BNB / component

WHY NFT CIRCUITS

Say I built a 4-bit adder from a hundred components. You don't need to repeat my hundred NANDs — you take my finished 4-bit Adder and drop it into a bigger circuit as one LEGO block. Someone else combines Adder + Registers + Decoder + Memory + Control Logic and assembles a processor. That processor becomes a component of something bigger still.

The real idea was never the transistor meme. It's an on-chain library of immutable, composable digital circuits — reusable black boxes.

BEHEMOTH 巨兽

The genesis demo CPU. Official processor, marked 官方 / Genesis.

The manifesto compares Behemoth to the legendary Intel 4004 — which really was a 4-bit processor with ~2,300 physical transistors. “We built the Intel 4004 on-chain” is too loud. Precisely: an on-chain 4-bit CPU-like architecture inspired by early processors like the 4004.

“THE CPU RUNS AT 2.22 Hz”

After Fermi, BNB Chain really does produce a block every ~0.45 seconds — official BSC parameters. So: 1 / 0.45 = 2.22. Every BNB block = one clock cycle. The math is correct.

But the technical reading is very marketing. A smart contract does not wake itself up every 0.45 seconds and execute an instruction — someone has to call it. That is fundamental to the EVM. So “the CPU runs continuously inside BNB Chain” is not literally true. Far more precise: the CPU's state and result can be computed from chain state and block number whenever someone asks. That is a huge difference.

COMPUTATION IS FREE

Because reading is eth_call: the node executes the contract locally, no transaction, no gas. You only ever pay for state changes — minting components and taping out. Simulating, wiring, reading the CPU, watching it tick — all of that costs nothing.

Creation and withdrawals are planned — they activate with the protocol contract. This is a mechanics demo, not a yield promise.
