How token-bound vaults work
Every citizen is also a wallet
On Solana, every Metaplex Core asset has a matching signer address derived from the asset itself. It is a normal on-chain account: it can receive SOL and SPL tokens, and it shows up on any explorer. The difference is who controls it — not a fixed keypair, but whoever currently owns the citizen.
Because the address is derived from the asset, it never changes and there is nothing to set up. Transfer the citizen and control of the vault transfers in the same transaction. No withdrawal step, no migration, no custodian — ownership of the asset is ownership of the wallet.
The citizen’s own wallet address. Once the collection deploys, balances on a citizen page are read live from mainnet.
Send SOL or any SPL token straight to the vault address. It holds them like any other wallet, visible on Solscan.
Citizens are not seeded with tokens at mint. A new citizen’s vault starts empty until someone funds it.
A funded vault travels with the citizen on every sale — the floor price of a loaded citizen has a hard bottom.

Simulated preview — real balances read from mainnet at launch
Paper-desk simulation across 3333 citizens — these balances are not on-chain records. Real vault balances are read from mainnet once the collection deploys.
