Project Overview
Jack Butcher’s CHECKS collection originally minted out as a 16,031 identical Editions that, once revealed, become unique 80-cell Originals which holders can “burn” down through successive grid sizes (80→40→20→10→5→4→1) to forge a rare single check—today trading around 30 ETH. With six distinct market price bands and hundreds of potential burn-and-buy combinations, collectors often overpay tens of ETH simply because manually testing every path is too slow and error-prone. My dynamic price discovery tool automates that combinatorial search in real time, revealing the cheapest route to a single check, surfacing hidden arbitrage, and empowering users to seize savings of 4–10 ETH per check before the market shifts.

Problem Context
Multi-Step Combinatorics: Calculating the cost to curate a single check requires navigating seven “burn” steps, each with its own market price.
Volatile Price Bands: Market listings for 80-, 40-, 20-, 10-, 5-, 4-grids, and single checks fluctuate often making it hard to know which level yields the cheapest per-unit path to a single check.
Hidden Arbitrage: The true “cheapest” route (e.g. mixing 40s + 10s + single 4s) can save tens of ETH versus a naïve straight burn of sweeping the floor—but manually testing every combo is infeasible in fast-moving markets.
