# Taiyo Robotics

> Taiyo Robotics is an innovative NFT project on the Solana Blockchain that aims to develop and provide an array of technology and services.

Taiyo Robotics is a Solana NFT project with multiple collections, offering staking for Graphite tokens and access to ecosystem activities and new project launches.


Taiyo Robotics is a Solana-based NFT project within the Graphite Protocol ecosystem, featuring multiple interconnected NFT collections including Gen1 Robots, Gen2 Infants, and Oil. These NFTs can be staked to earn Graphite tokens (GP), which are used for various ecosystem activities. The project aims to create a hub for NFT-related activities, providing holders access to new projects and minting opportunities. Taiyo Robotics operates with a flexible roadmap, focusing on developing products that drive adoption of Graphite Protocol smart contracts and generating external revenue through community engagement and partnerships.

## Products

- [Taiyo Pilots V2](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): Solana NFT project with 12,499 pilots, featuring faction-based staking, 3D content, and community-driven storytelling within the Taiyo ecosystem. (Game, Inactive/Support Ended)
- [Taiyo Pilots V1](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): Solana NFT project with 12,499 pilots, featuring faction-based staking, 3D content, and community-driven storytelling within the Taiyo ecosystem. (Game, Inactive/Support Ended)
- [Graphite Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): Graphite Protocol is a multi-chain technology infrastructure developed by Taiyo Robotics, designed to support various Web3 activities across Solana, Ethereum, Binance, and potentially other blockchains. It serves as the backbone for Taiyo's ecosystem, replacing the previous $SCRAP token with $GRAPHITE.  (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Live, Main Product)
- [Graphite Mainframe protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): NFT minting infrastructure on Solana with anti-bot features and customizable minting options. (NFT Issuance Platform, In Development)

## Assets

- [Taiyo Robotics](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): Taiyo Robotics is a collection of 2,121 NFTs on the Solana blockchain, part of the Graphite Protocol ecosystem. Each NFT can be staked to earn Graphite tokens (GP), which are used for ecosystem activities, minting new NFTs, and accessing new project launches. The collection uses a milestone staking mechanism where daily GP emissions increase the longer the NFT remains staked, rewarding long-term holders over short-term participants. (NFT)
- [Taiyo Oil (OIL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): OIL is an NFT collection within the Taiyo Robotics ecosystem on Solana. It was initially airdropped and used as a whitelist for the Taiyo Pilots expansion, then became a deflationary asset that can be burned to increase Graphite staking yield. Oil cans come in five-liter and ten-liter variants representing five percent and ten percent boosts to staking, providing holders with boosted rewards and faster emissions when burned. (NFT)
- [TYR-Infant](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): TYR-Infant is an NFT collection on Solana representing infant Taiyo characters hatched after 30 days of incubation from the Taiyo Robotics ecosystem. It is used to access the Taiyo Robotics DAO and can be staked to earn Graphite tokens for ecosystem activities. The rarity and parent lineage of each infant can be tracked through the incubator explorer, creating a breeding mechanic that ties Gen1 and Gen2 collections together within the Graphite Protocol ecosystem. (NFT)
- [Graphite token (GP)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): GP is the utility token of Graphite Protocol, a Web3 infrastructure developed by Taiyo Robotics. It is used to access NFT minting services, pay for protocol fees, and can be earned by staking Taiyo Robotics NFTs. GP buybacks are funded by a portion of fees paid in other currencies, directly linking token demand to protocol revenue. (Utility)
- [Taiyo Pilots](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): Taiyo Pilots is an NFT collection on Solana featuring pilot characters who are citizens of Lunar City within the Taiyo Robotics ecosystem. The NFTs can be staked to earn Graphite tokens, which are used for minting new NFTs, accessing exclusive projects, and participating in the broader Graphite Protocol ecosystem. The collection features faction-based gameplay where holders receive full intellectual property ownership of their pilot, enabling them to create their own stories and participate in community-driven lore development. (NFT)
- [Pilot Cores](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): Pilot Cores are complementary NFTs to Taiyo Pilots on Solana. They are used to increase the staking potential of Pilot NFTs and unlock Graphite staking functionality. Holders can attach a Core to their Pilot NFT and fill it with staking points to convert it into a Graphite stake model, allowing them to earn the limited-supply Graphite token instead of unlimited staking points. (NFT)
- [SCRAP (SCRAP)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): SCRAP is the utility token of the Taiyo Robotics ecosystem on Solana. It is used for robot upgrades, breeding/incubation, Taiyo P2P games, and much more. SCRAP can only be generated via staking of a Taiyo Robotics NFT, creating a deflationary supply model where holders must stake their NFTs to earn tokens that fuel ecosystem activities. (Utility)
- [Taiyo Pilot Assets](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Taiyo_Robotics): Taiyo Pilot Assets is an NFT collection on Solana representing customization items for Taiyo Pilots NFTs. It is used to unlock badges and other visual elements that holders apply to their Pilot NFTs as they level up through an XP system. Holders access biddable assets for further customization, allowing them to personalize their Pilots and establish unique visual identities within the Taiyo Robotics ecosystem. (NFT)
