DOM Wallet expands its Utility section with three new additions: the Star Machine, Tarot Machine and Karma Machine, bringing horoscope, tarot and numerology-inspired readings into the wallet.
The three tools follow a similar approach. Users provide the information needed to generate a reading, while the corresponding canisters process the request without retaining the personal details used to create it.
The Star Machine was introduced first, offering a daily horoscope built around three different traditions. Users enter their birth date and time, allowing the tool to calculate their Western sun sign, Chinese zodiac animal, element and polarity, along with an approximated Vedic rashi and nakshatra.
The resulting reading combines those inputs with the current date to produce sections covering general circumstances, love, work and money, and energy. It also includes a cosmic score out of 100, a lucky number, a lucky colour and a closing note that brings the three traditions together.
The reading remains stable throughout the day and refreshes the following day. DOM says the underlying dom_astro canister is stateless, with birth details used for the calculation and then discarded. The user’s device can retain the information locally so it does not need to be entered again.
The Star Machine is presented as an entertainment feature rather than a source of professional advice, giving users a way to explore different horoscope traditions through a single daily reading.
The Tarot Machine takes a different route, using a complete 78-card tarot deck with both upright and reversed cards. Its free daily draw deals three cards representing the past, present and future.
The daily spread is seeded to the user’s device and the current date, keeping the reading consistent until the user’s local midnight. A new reading becomes available the next day. Users can approach the draw with a particular question in mind, with each card accompanied by an explanation and individually generated artwork.
For those wanting a longer reading, the Tarot Machine offers a ten-card Celtic Cross spread. The extended reading costs 25 DOM, which is burned when the reading is made. The price is designed to follow DOM’s halving schedule, moving from 25 DOM to 12.5 and then 6.25 as successive halvings take place.
A Buy DOM option is available within the reading interface for users who need to acquire the tokens required for the extended spread.
The Tarot Machine also follows the privacy model used by the other Utility tools. The system does not retain information about the user or their questions. Instead, it maintains a public tally of readings drawn and DOM burned.
The third addition, the Karma Machine, brings together elements of karmic astrology and numerology. Users enter their birth date and the tool calculates their lunar nodes, identifying Ketu as the point associated with past-life themes and Rahu as the direction associated with the present life.
The tool also calculates a numerology life-path number and checks for the commonly recognised karmic debt numbers 13, 14, 16 and 19. These elements are combined into a reading covering a past-life theme, the user’s perceived work in the current life and the karmic debt to address, where applicable.
The Karma Machine also produces a daily ‘karmic weather’ reading, indicating whether the day is suited to giving, resolving or resting, alongside a karmic score.
Like the Star Machine, the Karma Machine is designed as a stateless reader. Its dom_karma canister does not store the birth information submitted by users, and there is no account or persistent record associated with the reading. The tool returns its components as indices, which DOM says will make it easier to support additional languages in future.
Together, the three additions broaden the Utility section of the DOM Wallet beyond financial and practical functions, introducing a collection of interactive tools built around personal readings and daily experiences.
They also share a common design principle: users can interact with the machines without creating an account or handing over a persistent profile. The tools process the information required for each reading and then discard it.
The Star Machine, Tarot Machine and Karma Machine are available through the DOM site and inside the wallet’s Utility section. While their approaches differ, all three are designed as for-fun experiences, giving users another way to interact with the wallet beyond its core functions.
