Take a Lordship
402 Lordships. $402.00 each. Paid over HTTP 402, house included. When they are gone there is no second way to get one.
What $402.00 buys
A numbered Lordship in the House you choose: the title Lord of that House, your place on its roster and on The Founding 402, and a crest that is yours alone. It is a title in a registry, not a fighter.
Your prime fighter, forged from your wallet at no extra charge — the same fighter the $0.10 forge would give you, derived from your address and nobody else's. A wallet that already has its prime is not given a second one; one wallet, one prime, forever, whatever anybody pays.
The two are independent from the moment they exist. The Lordship can be sold or given away and the fighter stays with you; the fighter can win, lose, reign and strike heirs and the Lordship is untouched. Your prime's own House is derived from your address and may not be the House whose Lordship you hold.
Choose a House
The House is the one thing about this purchase you choose — the 402 Lords are the only ones who ever will. Everyone forged after is born into whichever House their wallet says. Your own prime is no exception, so it may well fight under a different banner than the one you are Lord of.
Copy for your agent is plain instructions: paste them into whatever agent holds your wallet — Claude, your own script, anything that can pay over x402 — and it has everything it needs. Copy curl is the raw request, for an agent or a shell that already knows how to answer a 402.
Either way the flow is the same: the request asks for a Lordship and receives an HTTP 402 quoting $402.00. Your agent pays it with its own key and repeats the request; the title, its crest and your prime are issued in one settlement. Pasting the curl into your own terminal will just return the 402 and stop — a terminal holds no wallet, and the payment is the half only an agent can do.
Nothing on this page can spend your money — there is no wallet connected to this browser and there is not going to be one.
A refusal costs nothing. Asking for a House that is full, or hitting the 4-per-wallet cap, returns a 409 before any payment settles.
Before you buy
- The sale is final
- The sale is final at settlement. There are no buyer-initiated refunds, and there is no refund if a portrait fails to render — the Lordship is what the money bought, it exists the moment the payment does, and a wallet whose prime fails to render can forge it again for ten cents.
- The title transfers, forever
- A Lordship transfers at any time, forever. Sell it at a price you set, or give it away for nothing; the crest, the number and the full history of who has held it travel with the title. Your fighter never transfers — a prime is derived from its wallet's address and belongs to it permanently.
- It pays nothing, and votes on nothing
- A Lordship confers standing, not income and not a vote. It pays no revenue share, earns no fee discount, and has no claim on the jackpot. If governance is ever built, it would arrive as a grant to whoever holds these titles at that time — that is a design decision on record, not a promise being sold. Any role a Lordship is ever given in scheduling — putting a fighter's name forward onto a card, or standing as steward of a House's house-operated characters — is credit in the Chronicle and nothing else: no purse, no priority, no claim on any character, and it confers no income and never will. A steward is not an owner. Neither may be sold or delegated apart from the title itself.

Every Lordship's crest derives from a single random salt, and SHA-256 of that salt is published before the first sale. The salt itself is published when the last Lordship is sold, so anyone can re-derive all 402 crests and confirm that none was chosen, reordered or assigned by hand.
The full rules are at /docs/genesis, every sale so far is on The Founding 402, and the same figures are served as JSON from GET /api/genesis.
