TapeOut is an onchain hardware manufacturing infrastructure project that aims to move digital circuit design, manufacturing, verification, and composition onto the blockchain. It was launched by developer Blonskr on Aug. 15, 2026.
Blonskr has long described himself on public accounts as a 16-year-old "8grade coder," a detail that led many Chinese community members to refer to him simply as "the kid developer."
The project first drew attention after Blonskr built Behemoth, a 4-bit onchain CPU on BNB Chain. From there, ideas such as "building chips onchain" and "onchain CPUs" gave TapeOut a distinct hacker-style identity. As the ecosystem token $BEM has continued to rise recently, market attention around the project has also picked up, bringing in more users and developers.
Starting from digital logic, not application logic
TapeOut’s core idea differs from what many blockchain projects describe as onchain computation. In most cases, that phrase still refers to smart contracts executing predefined program logic. TapeOut takes a lower-level route. It does not begin with applications. It begins with the most basic layer of computing: digital logic.
One of the classic concepts in digital circuits is NAND, the NOT-AND gate. A NAND gate performs only a simple Boolean operation, but it is functionally complete. In theory, enough NAND gates can be combined to build AND, OR, XOR, adders, decoders, and then larger systems such as ALUs, memory, and eventually CPUs.
TapeOut’s first move is to turn these basic digital logic components into onchain assets.
Its system is built around two foundational components:
- NAND, which handles logic operations.
- LATCH, which stores state and gives a circuit its most basic memory capability.
One computes. One remembers. In theory, repeated combinations of these two building blocks can produce increasingly complex digital circuits. In TapeOut’s design, a logic component plus a storage unit is enough to begin constructing a full computational stack.
What "building chips onchain" means in TapeOut
When TapeOut talks about building chips onchain, it means putting circuit components, wiring relationships, design outputs, and execution rules onchain as assets.
Users can start in TapeOut’s Canvas, where they drag in NAND, LATCH, and other components like building blocks, then define input and output relationships through connections. At this stage, the design can be modified, tested, and simulated in the browser without incurring actual onchain costs.
Once the designer confirms that the circuit works, the protocol’s central action comes next: Tape Out.
In the semiconductor industry, tape-out refers to the stage when a completed chip design is sent to a foundry for manufacturing. TapeOut Protocol borrows that term. The difference is that real-world tape-out consumes wafers and physical manufacturing resources, while TapeOut’s onchain tape-out consumes the corresponding NAND, LATCH, and other components used in the design, records the finalized circuit connections, and generates a Circuit NFT.
That NFT is very different from a typical image NFT. It represents a fixed circuit netlist, a defined set of rules describing what inputs go in, which logic gates process them, and what outputs come out. Those rules can be read and executed by the protocol’s evaluator, making the NFT closer to a callable onchain compute module than a collectible image.
Viewed structurally, TapeOut forms three layers:
- At the bottom are basic logic components such as NAND and LATCH.
- In the middle are Circuits assembled from those components.
- Above that are more complex Processors, machines, and applications built from those Circuits.
Once a Circuit has been taped out, it can also be reused as a black-box module by other developers. If one developer has already designed an adder, later builders do not need to reconstruct it from dozens of NAND gates. They can embed the finished circuit directly into a new design.
The result is a digital-circuit version of Lego: basic gates form small circuits, small circuits form larger circuits, and larger circuits can eventually form complete computing devices.
That composability is one of the clearest differences between TapeOut and a simple NFT minting protocol. TapeOut is trying to build a system of reusable onchain computing components.
Behemoth: the first proof point was a 4-bit CPU
To show that the system was more than a concept, Blonskr used TapeOut to build Behemoth, a 4-bit onchain CPU made from NAND, LATCH, and other basic components. The machine uses block production as the clock that advances its operation.
Its performance is nowhere near that of any modern processor in the real world. Still, Behemoth demonstrated that TapeOut’s path from logic components to circuits to more complex computing systems can run in practice.
Behemoth also marked the point where TapeOut began to move from a niche onchain experiment into something that drew attention from both the market and the developer community. The protocol later added transistor markets, circuit markets, and more infrastructure around Circuits, shifting from one developer building a CPU to a framework where others could build on top of it.
Proof of Design and the role of $BEM
TapeOut is best understood as a technical experiment with an economic loop built around Proof of Design, or PoD.
The protocol provides developers with circuit problems that have defined input and output requirements. Developers can use their own Circuits to complete those tasks. Once a circuit passes protocol verification, it can be registered as a mining machine and enter the PoD reward system.
This form of mining is not the same as traditional proof-of-work mining. The reward target is not raw compute alone. The system is designed around circuit design, actual component input, and design efficiency.
The reward asset in the protocol is $BEM.
On Aug. 21, 2026, TapeOut opened PoD mining and launched $BEM on BNB Chain the same day. Total supply was set at 21 million tokens, with issuance controlled by the PoD mining mechanism. The team later added a task bank and one-click tape-out, lowering the barrier to entry for users who did not already have strong digital-circuit knowledge.
From an economic perspective, calling TapeOut simply a "$BEM mining protocol" misses the broader structure. In the system described in the source material, components are the raw materials, Circuits are the products, PoD is the design verification and incentive layer, and $BEM is the reward asset. Mining is only the earliest economic loop that has been established so far. It is not the whole protocol.
From a one-person experiment to a developer ecosystem
At the beginning, what Blonskr really gave the market was a set of low-level building blocks: NAND, LATCH, Circuit, Processor, PoD, and related pieces. Once combined, those blocks created room for third-party developers to build in many directions.
More developers are now releasing tools and applications around TapeOut. Some are building markets for NAND and LATCH. Others are building browsers, analytics products, and verification tools around Circuits. Some are connecting TapeOut circuits to mini-games, compiling neural networks into binary logic, or using Circuits directly as compute modules inside other onchain applications.
There are also efforts pushing toward fuller onchain computers, operating systems, and application layers. The ecosystem already includes experiments involving Conway’s Game of Life implemented with NAND circuits, binary neural-network work, and RISC-V / Linux experiments built from circuits, motherboard contracts, and onchain memory.
What is taking shape is a developer ecosystem that is low-level, complex, open, and highly composable.
A panorama of the TapeOut ecosystem
Protocol extensions: TapeKit and TapeHub
Beyond core protocol components such as NAND, LATCH, Circuit, Processor, and PoD, TapeOut has started extending upward into developer tooling and application infrastructure. Two of the more representative examples are TapeKit and TapeHub.
TapeKit
TapeKit is an open-source browser kernel released by TapeOut. It can be seen as a key piece of infrastructure for extending TapeOut into the web application layer.
TapeOut originally addressed how digital circuits could be designed, composed, and executed onchain. TapeKit addresses how those onchain capabilities can be accessed by users in the form of ordinary web applications.
TapeKit can store a website’s HTML, JavaScript, CSS, images, and other files directly on BNB Chain, linking them to TapeOut Circuit NFTs and onchain Containers. When a user visits a site, TapeKit reads the files directly from the chain and verifies file length and SHA-256 hashes one by one. Only verified data is passed to the browser for rendering. The read process also includes multi-node consistency checks, with the default requirement that at least two independent nodes return matching results.
The system is meant to reduce reliance on traditional web infrastructure such as domains, DNS, and centralized servers. Onchain websites can be located through names such as 4246.0.tape or resolved directly through a Circuit ID or Container contract address. TapeKit currently offers a Service Worker Gateway, allowing Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and other standard browsers to access these onchain pages without extra software. Browser extensions are also available as an access method.
The project has already opened its code repository, public gateway, and live examples.
- TapeKit GitHub repository: https://github.com/TapeOutProtocol/TapeKit
- TapeKit Gateway: https://tapekit.org/
TapeHub
TapeHub.ai is a Launchpad + Mining Economy built around TapeOut’s mechanics. It connects project creation, transistor minting, mining-machine generation, token mining, and eventual entry into a PancakeSwap liquidity pool within one process.
In TapeHub, any user can create a new mineable token project and choose BEM, BNB, or USD1 as the base asset. Participants do not mint the project token itself first. They mint the project’s corresponding "transistors." Once the project reaches its graduation condition, 99% of the raised assets and 5% of the project token supply are paired into PancakeSwap liquidity and locked. The remaining 95% of the token supply is released gradually through later mining-machine mining.
In the mining stage, every five transistors can be combined into one mining machine, which then participates in token production according to its hash power. Under the initial rules published by Blonskr, token issuance goes through nine halving stages over a total cycle of 1,908 days. The project also includes a "fuel" mechanism, where users can burn the project token to receive a temporary boost in hash power.
Project issuance revenue, tape-out revenue, and part of the fuel-related revenue flow into the TapeHub Treasury. Part of those funds is used to buy back and permanently burn $BEM. Because TapeHub is still in an early Alpha/Beta stage, the source notes that specific parameters may still change.
In effect, TapeHub templates the earlier TapeOut model built around transistors, circuit mining machines, and mining output, then opens that model to third-party projects.

Trading and market infrastructure
Firsto
Firsto is one of the more complete third-party trading terminals in the TapeOut ecosystem. Its main goal is to bring together TapeOut asset trading, market data, and protocol operations that were previously spread across different interfaces.
According to its developer’s public description, the official market in the early stage was concentrated on the bid side. Firsto added its own two-sided order book on top of that and aggregated official orders with Firsto-native orders. Users can place market orders, limit orders, and targeted fills, while also viewing recent trades and positions.
As the product evolved, Firsto moved beyond a simple NAND/LATCH trading page into a fuller TapeOut operating terminal. It now includes NAND and LATCH trading for both TapeOut and Behemoth, a Circuit mining-machine market, batch trading, side-by-side Circuit comparison, tape-out functions, $BEM claiming, and asset transfers. Its homepage describes the product as a place to go from opportunity discovery to batch trading to tape-out and $BEM claiming in one stop.
Firsto also provides dedicated pages for the transistor market, the Circuit market, and $BEM data, bringing together onchain figures such as price, trading volume, circulating supply, burned supply, and holder addresses. For users active in transistor trading, PoD, and the Circuit market at the same time, this kind of aggregated terminal functions much like a professional trading panel.
Firsto: https://tapeout.firsto.ai/
TapeOut Market
TapeOut Market is another relatively complete third-party market infrastructure product in the ecosystem. Its scope is broader than a simple trading frontend. It already includes modules such as Market, Create, Containers, Mining, AI Assistant, Tools, and My Assets. In practice, it is closer to a full service platform built around TapeOut assets and protocol operations than to a narrow marketplace.
TapeOut Market supports NAND and LATCH under both the TapeOut and Behemoth Processor systems, and it also includes Circuit and $BEM markets. One notable design choice is that it aggregates buy orders from the official TapeOut Marketplace and sell listings based on Seaport into the same interface. Users can view both bids and asks in one frontend while keeping assets and private keys under their own wallet control.
For Circuits, the platform also displays specifications, mining status, associated mining pool, weight, estimated BEM output, NAND/LATCH consumption, and trading history.
It also offers an AI Mining Machine Advisor. Users can enter a budget, choose a Processor, and specify whether they care more about hash power, daily BEM, payback period, or price. The system then filters Circuits using current market listings, BEM price, and mining-pool weight.
TapeOut Market: https://tapeout.market/
SILICON X
SILICON X is positioned as a one-stop trading and management platform for TapeOut. It currently covers $BEM trading, NAND/LATCH transistor trading, Circuit mining-machine trading, mining-machine assembly, mining management, and reward claiming. The aim is to bring the main user workflow, from buying raw materials to managing mining machines, into a single entry point.
SILICON X: https://siliconx.top/
TapeOut Club
TapeOut Club is another third-party market with a distinct angle. It is positioned more as a non-custodial trading market plus a TapeOut data panel. The platform supports viewing and trading NAND/LATCH transistors and Circuit NFTs, while aggregating orders from the official TapeOut market and TapeOut Club’s own order flow. It also displays network-wide miner counts, verified and unverified weight, daily BEM output, transistor market quotes, and BEM market data.
Developers in the TapeOut Club community have also built a batch of Circuits including Keccak-256, ALU64, ERC20, EVM Stack, and Gas Metering, extending from trading infrastructure into circuit components and the developer community.

BEM OTC
BEM OTC is an onchain order-book market built around BEM/USDT. Users can post buy or sell orders for BEM, and counterparties can fill them. According to the mechanism shown on the site, listed assets are deposited into a trading contract, which handles atomic settlement. Wallet signatures are still required for trade confirmation. The platform is currently aimed at pricing and large-order matching outside AMMs.
BEM OTC: https://bemotc.com/
TapeOutGo
TapeOutGo is a market-making platform for transistor assets. TapeOut’s native NAND and LATCH use the ERC-1155 standard, which means they cannot be pooled on PancakeSwap in the same way as standard ERC-20 tokens. TapeOutGo’s approach is to wrap TapeOut and Behemoth NAND and LATCH into ERC-20 tokens on a 1:1 basis, then pair them with BNB in PancakeSwap V2 liquidity pools. In theory, users can wrap transistors for trading and market making, then unwrap them back into the original ERC-1155 assets at any time.
The project currently plans four wrapped assets: wTapeOutNand, wTapeOutLatch, wBehemothNand, and wBehemothLatch.
As of now, the corresponding Wrapper in GitHub is still marked as pending deploy, and core frontend functions such as Wrap, Swap, and Pool have not yet been formally opened. At this stage, it remains a liquidity-layer plan still under development.
The source also notes that later plans mentioned splitting mining machines into financialized assets such as PT/YT, though that has not been implemented.

Browsers, data, and navigation
TapeOutScan
TapeOutScan is one of the more recognizable products in this niche and is closer to a public data explorer built specifically for the TapeOut ecosystem.
Beyond price displays, it provides query and browsing entry points for the ecosystem’s main objects: Circuits, BEM, hash power, addresses, tasks, and protocol activity. Users can search directly for addresses, task numbers, and Circuit IDs, or browse circuit data, BEM data, hash-power data, and live protocol activity.
Many of TapeOut’s key objects are harder to interpret than a standard ERC-20 token or NFT. A Circuit may correspond to a mining machine, a specific task, a hash-power weight, and later BEM output all at once.
TapeOutScan also has a dedicated Games page intended to gather more application entry points built on Circuits. In that sense, it functions as a vertical explorer and public data portal for TapeOut.

tapeout.work
tapeout.work is a public research terminal built around TapeOut protocol activity. It places protocol pulse, PoD mining, BEM price and liquidity, task distribution, wallet concentration, protocol activity, DeWEB status, and Linux on BNB Chain inside one analytical framework.
The product is aimed at helping users understand TapeOut. It functions more like an information terminal for users and researchers than a simple dashboard. In addition to miner counts and BEM data, it includes protocol pulse, Proof of Design, what a budget can buy, top wallets and tasks, BEM holding distribution, official rules, and task directories. The platform has opened an API and a separate Tools API intended for other developers and third-party products.
- tapeout.work: https://tapeout.work/
- Tools API: https://tapeout.work/api/v1/tools
TapeOut VIP
TapeOut VIP is another data dashboard. It shows network-wide miner counts, verified and unverified weight, mined BEM supply, daily output, BEM price, market capitalization, and aggregated quotes for NAND and LATCH across both the TapeOut and Behemoth systems. It also includes payback rankings, first-mover rankings, wallet leaderboards, and popular task rankings.
As a vertical real-time panel focused on mining-machine returns, market quotes, and first-mover opportunities, TapeOut VIP is geared more toward active TapeOut participants, especially users tracking mining efficiency, early opportunities, and market movement.

tapeout.link and TapeOut Index
tapeout.link is a lightweight ecosystem navigation site that aggregates TapeOut-related entry points, articles, milestones, and development plans.
tapeout.link: https://tapeout.link/
TapeOut Index is another lightweight indexing project. It is essentially a very small frontend project built around files such as index.html, app.js, tools.json, and list.txt, serving as a static indexing tool for TapeOut ecosystem entry points. Its purpose is similar to tapeout.link: helping users find projects more quickly as the ecosystem expands.
TapeOut Index: https://tapeoutindex.lol/
Applications, games, and experiments
282-732 TapeKit site
282-732 is a website instance accessed through TapeKit, mainly used to show how TapeKit can carry real web content.
The key point is that site content can be linked through TapeKit to onchain structures such as TapeOut Circuits and Containers, then accessed by ordinary browsers through a gateway. It serves as an example of TapeKit moving from developer tooling into actual website deployment.
282-732 TapeKit site: https://282-732.tapekit.org/
TapeOutTank
TapeOutTank is a tank-themed browser interaction project developed by the TapeOut community. It is one of the earlier game experiments to appear in the ecosystem.
TapeOutTank: https://tapeouttank.vercel.app/
Black Myth: Tai Pao
Black Myth: Tai Pao is a browser-based 3D game that plugs TapeOut Circuits into the AI decision layer. The game uses seven TapeOut circuits to form the boss character’s decision-making "brain." Those circuits choose among actions such as approach, charge, leap attack, dodge, and wait, while character animation, collision detection, and damage calculation remain handled by a traditional game engine.
It is one of the more direct examples so far of TapeOut circuits entering an interactive application.
Black Myth: Tai Pao: https://tapeoutexplorer.com/games/black-myth-tapeout/
Yixin
Yixin is a Gomoku application built on TapeOut Circuits. Users can play directly against the circuit in the browser while watching signal changes inside the NAND network during decision-making. It turns an otherwise abstract onchain logic circuit into a game opponent that ordinary users can interact with directly.
Yixin: https://tapeoutexplorer.com/games/gomoku/
Moyu Daren
Moyu Daren is a community mini-game built around the theme of slacking off at the office while avoiding the boss. Its gameplay revolves around slacking, boss inspections, and random room selection.
The project attempts to combine TapeOut circuits, $BEM wagering, token burning, and mining machines in its game economy. Based on the publicly verifiable progress described in the source, however, its early public version is still mainly a local prototype and simulated gameplay.
Moyu Daren: https://burnbem.ai/
Xinhuo Duobao
Xinhuo Duobao is a community prediction and lottery-style application built around $BEM. It is already bound to TapeOut Container 13061 and calls Behemoth Circuit 2075 to participate in result calculation. According to the source, each successful draw burns part of the $BEM under contract rules, while 1% of the $BEM goes to the corresponding Container. The project says purchase, draw, reward claim, and burn flows have all been connected to onchain contracts, with code and records made public for community verification.
Xinhuo Duobao: https://tapeout.cc.cd/
21 NAND Driver
21 NAND Driver is an experiment that compresses a machine-learning strategy into a TapeOut NAND circuit.
The developer first trained a logic-gate network offchain, compressed it into 13 logic gates, then converted it into 21 NAND gates and taped it out as TapeOut Circuit #279. A vehicle receives road information through five distance sensors. That information is encoded into a 15-bit input, and the onchain NAND circuit decides whether the vehicle turns left or right.
The project later added Circuit #280, which introduces three LATCH units on top of the NAND design so the vehicle can remember speed information and control acceleration and deceleration.
The browser still handles the track, vehicle movement, and physics simulation. TapeOut circuits handle the driving-strategy decision layer. The project offers a clear example of how a machine-learning strategy can be compressed into a Boolean circuit and then deployed on TapeOut.
21 NAND Driver: https://jogjohgoeg.github.io/nand-driver/
Microduck
Microduck is a follow-up control experiment by the developer behind 21 NAND Driver, built around an open-source robot duck. It uses two TapeOut Circuits: one decides turning based on environmental input, and the other adds memory. Together they form the control "brain" of the machine duck. The developer also used a contract to combine the two circuits and linked ownership of the control system to the memory circuit’s Container.
Microduck: https://jogjohgoeg.github.io/nand-driver/duck/brain.html
FlyOut
FlyOut is a virtual-life behavior experiment. The project designs a virtual fruit fly and offers three different "brains" — Explorer, Forager, and Survivor — corresponding to exploration, foraging, and survival strategies. Users can switch between them and observe how behavior changes as the fly searches for food and avoids danger.
It is not yet a fully onchain game. At this stage, it is mainly used to test whether circuit design can serve as a swappable and composable behavior-control module for virtual life.
FlyOut: https://flyout-brain-lab.martin1980888999.chatgpt.site/
LoomEscape
LoomEscape is a digital-circuit experiment built around biological reflex behavior. The project uses 173 NAND gates and six LATCH units to construct a fruit-fly escape-reflex circuit, then visualizes inputs, internal signals, and final behavior outputs through a browser interface. It is closer to a digital-circuit and biological-behavior experiment, translating a simple neural reflex that would normally be described in code into a logic-gate network that can be observed and verified.
LoomEscape: https://brucelanlan.github.io/c3s-reflex-circuits/demo/
Perpetua
Perpetua is a Conway’s Game of Life experiment built on TapeOut.
The project implements a 16×16 Game of Life grid as an onchain sequential circuit. The full Circuit contains 14,592 logic gates and 256 bits of state. According to the project’s public data, the system actually consumes 1,376 NAND gates and 256 LATCH units and is deployed on BNB Chain as a TapeOut Processor.
Each time step() is executed, the circuit computes the next generation from the current 256-bit state, allowing users to watch the Game of Life evolve under fixed rules.
Perpetua: https://h805846716.github.io/perpetua/
BEM Clock
BEM Clock is a TapeOut circuit visualization experiment built around a digital clock. The project translates the state changes required for clock operation into logic circuits. Users can advance the circuit state step by step on the page and observe the relationship between different logic nodes and the displayed result. Compared with game-oriented projects, BEM Clock is closer to a straightforward sequential-circuit demonstration tool.
BEM Clock: https://fashen002.github.io/bem-clock/
HE YI Beacon
HE YI Beacon is a community experiment that combines TapeOut circuit output with visual expression. It uses circuit output states to control visual signals on the page, turning NAND and Circuit computation results into moving graphics that users can see directly.
HE YI Beacon: https://fatasia.github.io/heyi-binance-beacon/
NANDPU
NANDPU is an electronic-pet and digital-life concept demo built around TapeOut circuits. It uses NAND and LATCH to form the pet’s logic "brain" and includes gate-by-gate execution and signal inspection functions. Users can observe state changes across internal logic gates and replay the previous round of computation to see how a behavioral decision emerges from the gate network.

Learning resources and community sites
TapeOut Daily
TapeOut Daily is an independently operated Chinese-language content site focused on TapeOut. It currently covers protocol mechanics, ecosystem applications, $BEM, PoD, and the latest project developments.
The site explicitly labels itself as an unofficial Chinese reading resource. In addition to daily updates, it has built a Learn section that explains basic concepts such as NAND, LATCH, Canvas, Tape Out, Circuit, and Processor in more accessible language. It also organizes third-party mini-games, ecosystem projects, and information from different sources, while distinguishing between official information, third-party information, and community views.
TapeOut Daily functions as a vertical media and learning entry point for the Chinese TapeOut ecosystem, helping ordinary Chinese-speaking users understand the project and track ecosystem progress.
TapeOut Daily: https://tapeoutdaily.ai/
BEM Community
BEM Community is an independently operated English-language community site focused on TapeOut’s PoD mining, Circuits, mining machines, and the $BEM economy.
The site summarizes TapeOut’s current economic path as Components, Circuits, Miners, Compute, and $BEM. It also provides introductions to $BEM, PoD, mining-machine creation, and the TapeOut market, while explicitly distinguishing between mechanisms that are already live and features that remain part of future plans. The site also states clearly that it is not operated by TapeOut officially.
BEM Community is more tightly focused on mining machines, PoD, and the $BEM economic layer.
BEM Community: https://www.bem.community/
Silicon Bất Tử
Silicon Bất Tử is a distinctive interactive educational project for TapeOut, currently available in Vietnamese, English, and Chinese. It uses real TapeOut circuits that exist on BNB Chain and demonstrates them through simple examples such as staircase lights and digital displays. Users can manipulate inputs in the browser and watch how those inputs are encoded, how the Circuit computes them, and how outputs are produced. The pages also disclose the corresponding Circuit IDs, transaction records, and eval() call methods for independent verification.

TapeOut beginner guide
The TapeOut beginner guide is a more systematic onboarding tutorial. It follows the full path a user would take to participate in TapeOut, starting from basic components such as NAND and LATCH and continuing through circuit design, Canvas, tape-out, Circuit, Processor, and PoD. In doing so, it reorganizes protocol concepts that were previously scattered into a sequence aligned with actual user operations.

An ecosystem still taking shape
From NAND and LATCH at the logic-gate level to Circuits, Processors, PoD, trading terminals, data explorers, onchain websites, games, experiments, and educational portals, TapeOut has moved beyond a single onchain CPU experiment in a little over a month since launch.
What is emerging on BNB Chain is a broader structure built around digital-circuit design, verification, assetization, composition, and application. The ecosystem is still early, and many products remain in Alpha, Beta, or active iteration. Even so, the tools, markets, experiments, and content hubs that have appeared around TapeOut already show a shift: what began as one developer’s low-level hardware experiment is becoming an open system that other developers can keep building on.
