The Sarcophagus: Fees In. r33 Buried.
The Sarcophagus was Ramses' fee-funded r33 burial mechanism on Robinhood Chain. Protocol fee assets accumulated in the contract, and anyone could claim selected assets by supplying the required onchain amount of r33.
Each completed burial sent r33 to the dead address and transferred the selected assets to the caller.
The Fee-to-Burn Loop
Under the former routing, the protocol share of trading fees accumulated in the Sarcophagus. A caller selected available tokens and paid the live r33 burial cost. The contract sent its balances of the selected tokens to the caller and the r33 to 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD in one atomic transaction.
Why It Matters
Completed burials permanently retired r33 and its liquid claim on the underlying backing. Those historical transactions remain relevant to Ramses' tokenomics after the fee-routing change.
Fee Distribution
Before the replacement, fee-only or ungauged pools used the default 95% liquidity-provider / 5% protocol split, with the protocol share routed to the Sarcophagus. Gauged pools defaulted to 100% for xRAM voters, subject to their individual configuration.
The current Robinhood protocol fee destination is the Buyback Module. Current pool settings control the actual split.
What a Burial Burns
r33 is liquid-staked xRAM, and xRAM is backed by RAM. Sending r33 to the dead address permanently removes its liquid claim on that backing. The backing remains locked and remains part of RAM total supply; a burial does not directly burn the underlying RAM tokens or reduce the r33 token's ERC-20 totalSupply.
The tokenomics dashboard retains historical r33 burial accounting separately from RAM retired by the Buyback Module.
How to Participate
The former flow was to select assets, check the current burial cost, approve the required r33, and submit a burial. This is preserved as historical context, not as the current fee-conversion flow. Any interaction with remaining legacy balances depends on the old contract's current state.
