About — Peter the Mint Eagle

RECORD

PETER · 1830 – 1836

c. 1830A young bald eagle takes to roosting inside the United States Mint in Philadelphia. The workers feed him and let him stay. He flies through the building by day and over the city at night, returning before the morning shift.
1830sHe becomes the Mint’s unofficial employee and mascot. Engravers study him. His outline is said to have shaped the eagle on the silver dollars of 1836–1839 and, later, the Flying Eagle cent of 1856–1858.
1836A coining press starts while Peter is perched on it. His wing is caught in the flywheel. The workers free him, but the injury is fatal.
1836 – todayThe staff have him preserved. Wings spread, he is placed at the Mint’s entrance, where he has stood for more than 150 years — the first thing every visitor sees.

How the vault works

TRADESomeone buys or sells $PETER on the exchange. A fee is taken on the trade.

FEEThe creator’s share of that fee is paid in WETH and sent to the vault.

SPLITThe vault divides it across all savers by deposit size — instantly, on arrival.

CLAIMEach saver claims their ETH whenever they like. Deposits are untouched.

—No lock-up. Withdraw any amount, any time, with no penalty. Your reward balance stays claimable after you withdraw.

—No promised rate. There is no APY. Savers receive exactly the fees that arrive, nothing more. If nobody trades, nothing is shared.

—No admin. The vault has no owner, no pause switch and no upgrade path. Nobody — including us — can move deposits or reward balances.

—Nothing is lost. Fees that arrive while the vault is empty are held and handed to the first savers. Anyone can call harvest to book fees that were sent directly.
