Four phases, each unlocking the next.

Proof makes mainnet credible. Mainnet makes self-serve worth building. Self-serve makes the network possible.

Eight weeks to results, one ship a week.

Why now, and why Solana.

Market timing · the chain
51%of web traffic was automated in 2024*

When activity is cheap to fake, claims stop meaning much. Paid, approved work is hard to fake.

Pay per seat, in seconds

Small payouts to many people, for a fraction of a cent.

A proof for every delivery

Under a cent each, so small work counts too.

A record no one owns

Public attestations any app can read.

Collectibles, kept apart

Cheap to issue, never part of ranking.

*Imperva, 2025 Bad Bot Report (2024 data). Internet traffic, not work marketplaces.

Reputation is earned in five layers.

No proof, no record. No record, no badge.

Risks, each with a guard
  • Real funds. External review before mainnet.
  • Two-sided start. Recruit contributors per request.
  • Gamed records. Two distinct teams, capped repeats.
  • Heavy November. Review before funds, docs before outreach.
