How the rooms work
Every token has a room. Reading is open to anyone. Writing takes holding — or having held — and every message carries what the chain could prove about its author at the moment they wrote it.
The commons
One room for everyone holding anything launched here.
- —Hold something to speak. At least 0.1% of the supply of any token launched here. A share, not a value — a value is what a thin market says, and a weight you can raise by pumping your own token is not a weight.
- —Every message names a token. The one its author holds most of, with its picture and its size bracket. You can always see whose side someone is on, and click through to that token's own room.
- —Size buys nothing. Holding more above the floor counts for nothing at all. A whale's authority about their own token is already on their badge; it does not buy loudness about every other token.
- —Standing only sets how often, never how loud. It is the number of messages you may post in ten minutes, and nothing else. It never orders messages and never unlocks anything.
- —Each token counts as much as it has earned. How far other people's money has carried it towards graduation, how many people hold a real stake in it, and whether that money is locked by graduation or can still walk out. None counts for more than one, and the sum is square-rooted, so the tenth weighs less than the first.
- —Only the platform moderates here. Nobody can delete. A hidden message keeps its row, says who hid it, and stays one click from being read.
A token's own room
- —On the curve, anyone holding can post. No waiting period: during a fair launch nobody has held for an hour, so a duration gate would silence the room at the one moment it exists for.
- —After graduation it takes an hour. Holding now for an hour, or having held at any point while it was on the curve. Whoever bought at the launch keeps their voice even after selling — they were there, with real ADA at risk.
- —One wallet signature a week. Not one a sentence. It can post, reply and react. It cannot move funds, trade, or moderate — so the worst a stolen session can do is say something as you.
- —Your position is frozen onto each post. What the chain could prove about you when you wrote it, so a post keeps the meaning it had. You choose how much of it shows, and changing that never rewrites older posts.
- —The creator can hide and pin, never delete. The platform can override them. Every action is written to an append-only log in the same transaction as the change.
What a post can say about you
- —Full context. Share bracket, the most you ever held, and how long.
- —Status and age. Whether you hold and for how long. No size.
- —Eligibility only. That you may speak here, and nothing else.
A share is always a bracket, never a number, and the bracket carries a creature so size reads at a glance: 🦐 <0.1% · 🐟 0.1–0.5% · 🐙 0.5–1% · 🐬 1–2% · 🦈 2–5% · 🐋 >5%. The mode is frozen onto each post when it is written, so changing it never rewrites what an older post said — and the filtering happens on our server, not in your browser, so a mode that hides something hides it from the API too.
Kinds of post
Bull case · Bear case · Research · Proposal · Meme · Alert. All of them are open to anyone who may speak, except Alert, which takes the creator, the platform, or a wallet holding at least 1% of supply — and always goes out under full context. Urgency is the first thing a scam borrows, so it is the one kind that is not open.
The numbers, in full
- Commons floor: 0.1% of a token's supply.
- A position counts towards standing after one day held.
- A token weighs nothing until 5 other people hold a real stake; it saturates at 20.
- A token still on its curve reaches at most 0.5 of full weight; only graduation reaches 1.
- After graduation, speaking takes 1 hour of holding — or having held at any point during the curve.
- One wallet signature lasts a week and can post, reply and react. It cannot move funds, trade or moderate.
When a room goes quiet
A token with no trade and no message for 14 days stops being offered in the feed. It is still readable, still linkable, still searchable, and one click away under Gone quiet — a room going quiet is a fact about it, not a reason to pretend it never existed. It wakes the instant anything happens in it: nothing is stored, so there is no flag anybody has to clear.
Note what counts as life: a message counts as much as a trade. A token nobody is trading but whose holders are still arguing is not dormant — the conversation is the point, and hiding a live room because its market is quiet would hide the one thing this platform is for.
How a holder list is ordered
By tenure first — the number of distinct days a wallet has held a position — and then by the most it ever held. Not by size: “the biggest bag talks loudest” is the thing this platform exists against, and a holder list sorted by size is that complaint rendered as a table. Largest-first is one click away and named, because it is a real question; it is just not the first one.
Tenure counts days, not the gap between a first buy and a last sell — buy, sell an hour later and buy again eleven months on, and end-to-end reads as a year. And it does not reset when somebody sells: having been here is not undone by leaving. Two facts, one rule, and no score — the moment they were combined into a number, people would optimise the number instead of staying.
Who is making each claim
- —From the chain. Read from Cardano. Anyone can check it against an explorer, and nothing we do can change it.
- —Computed by Tribehold. Our arithmetic over chain data, or a decision we made. The rule behind each number is published; the number is ours.
- —Said by the creator. Typed by whoever launched this token. A claim, not a fact — the chain does not check any of it.
- —From holders. What the people holding this token did: what they wrote, what they reacted to, what they held and when.
