11 Ergo cold-address token boxes on 0.001-0.0057 ERG become collectible in full by storage rent, the first at height 2,513,934 (about 2029) #21

Description

@cafebedouin

Prepared with Claude Code (Anthropic, Claude Opus 5.5) for cafebedouin: Ergo node and guard-service source read, plus explorer snapshots of the Ergo cold address at heights 1,881,011-1,881,014.

Ergo storage rent (ErgoInterpreter.checkExpiredBox): a box 1,051,200 blocks (about 4 years) past its creation height can be spent without its script. If its value is at most storageFeeFactor x its size (1,250,000 nanoERG/byte, set in the epoch extension; miner-votable), nothing constrains the outputs: the whole box, tokens included, goes to whoever is mined first.

The cold address (contracts-public-launch-7.1.1.json, ergo.addresses.cold) holds 11 such boxes: 454-733 bytes each (the serialized bytes hash to the box ids), so a fee of 0.57-0.92 ERG, 100 to 900 times their value. Seven hold rs-token amounts, two hold eRSN dust, two hold a non-Rosen LP token.

box created rent-eligible tokens
85625f4d6f… 1,462,734 2,513,934 rsBNB
f8543d3545… 1,463,155 2,514,355 8 rs-tokens
743c397356…, d342aafe6f… 1,505,496 2,556,696 eRSN

The other seven fall between 2,564,578 and 2,889,224. The cold-storage path (coldStorage.ts) floors ERG at the minimum box value, and the service's generated transactions take inputs from the lock address only (ergoChain.ts). Nothing in the service tracks cold-box age, so each of these depends on a manual sweep before its height. Transaction a3538df0ef (height 1,810,580) merged three boxes of this kind into one box carrying 8,063 ERG; after that, rent takes only the fee and the tokens stay.

Not checked: whether a sweep of these 11 is already scheduled.
