A clearer way to tradeassets on TapeOut Protocol.

What is BEM used for?

BEM is the official core token asset of the TapeOut Protocol and an important part of its mining ecosystem. Users can continuously produce BEM through mining machines, connecting transistors, circuit boards, computing power, and mining within the TapeOut ecosystem.

At the same time, TapeOut founder BLONSKR continues to expand BEM’s utility. According to his announced plans, users will be able to train their own on-chain BNNs (Binary Neural Networks), with BEM being consumed and burned during the training process, further expanding its real utility within the ecosystem.

What is TapeOut Protocol?

TapeOut Protocol is an on-chain circuit protocol built on BNB Chain. Users can use transistors such as NAND and LATCH to build different circuits and then Tape Out the completed designs, creating circuit assets that truly exist on-chain. Simply put, traditional chips are built using transistors, while in TapeOut, users can use on-chain transistors to create their own on-chain circuits.

What are transistors used for? What is the difference between NAND and LATCH?

Transistors are mainly used to build circuit boards, which can then be used for mining. The main difference between NAND and LATCH lies in the quantity required and the amount consumed when building different circuits. For example, building an entry-level mining machine requires 2 NAND and 1 LATCH.

What is the difference between Behemoth and TAPEOUT?

The main differences between Behemoth and TAPEOUT are their total supply and power. Behemoth has a total supply of 100,000, while TAPEOUT has a total supply of 1,000,000. Both were deployed by TapeOut founder BLONSKR for mining purposes.

Besides the computing power of the circuit board, are there any other differences in mining rewards?

According to TapeOut founder BLONSKR, the base reward of each mining machine corresponds to its computing power. In addition, the best-performing circuits may receive additional reward bonuses.

Does every circuit board generate the same output?

No. Circuit boards generate different outputs depending on their attributes. Higher-level circuit boards generally require more transistors to build. Behemoth and TAPEOUT also differ in total supply: Behemoth has a total supply of 100,000, while TAPEOUT has a total supply of 1,000,000. Both were deployed by TapeOut founder BLONSKR for mining. Behemoth has a power of 6, while TAPEOUT has a power of 1. However, because their total supplies differ by 10 times, when the same amount of capital is used to purchase transistors, the actual mining returns from TAPEOUT can be comparable to or even higher than those of Behemoth.

What are the unique features of TapeOut assets?

Transistors in TapeOut are not only tradable assets but also have practical utility. NAND and LATCH are the fundamental materials used to build circuits within the TapeOut ecosystem. As more users build circuits, create mining machines, and perform Tape Out, demand for NAND and LATCH will also increase. At the same time, certain circuits require a corresponding amount of transistors to be consumed during the building process.

Therefore, transistors are both tradable assets and fundamental production materials within the entire TapeOut circuit ecosystem.

As a result, the TapeOut ecosystem is not built solely around Token trading. Instead, it forms a complete on-chain asset system:

Transistors → Circuit Boards → Computing Power → Mining Machines → Mining

Can I create a mining machine without assembling it manually?

Yes. TapeOut Market has integrated the official mining machine templates. Simply select a template based on the amount of NAND and LATCH you hold, and you can generate a mining machine with one click and start mining immediately, without any manual configuration.

This feature is available on the “Create” page of TapeOut Market.
