Artificial Selection

Twelve tokenomics live inside one coin. Each one spends the creator fees for six hours, then the code scores it against twenty similar coins. The best four breed, the worst die out.

The first life has not opened. The twelve starting genomes were seeded from a published phrase, so the population already exists.

What this genome has done

No action yet. Every buy, burn, payout and deposit lands here with its signature the moment it is confirmed on chain.

Field notes

The naturalist decides nothing. It watches and it writes.

The first note is written when the first life ends.

The population Generation 1

Twelve genomes. Each one owns the budget for six hours, in this order. The bird is drawn from the genome itself: the beak is its burn share, the crest its dividend share, the tail its liquidity share, the breast its savings.

    The score sheet

    Every finished life, scored six hours after it ended. 50 is the market itself.

    LifeGenomeHolders KeptVolumePriceScore
    No life has finished yet.

    Holders and the amounts kept are read from the chain through Helius, volume and price from DexScreener, and both the coin and the basket are read over the same window. A row fills six hours after its life closes, never before, and it is never edited afterwards.

    How a life is scored

    score = 50 + 50 x ( 0.40 growth + 0.25 kept + 0.20 volume + 0.15 price )

    growth
    holders above 50,000 $AS at the end of the window, less the holders at the start, over the holders at the start. A wallet younger than 24 hours is not counted as a new holder.
    kept
    the share of the holders present when the life began who are still above the threshold when the window closes.
    volume
    $AS volume over the window against the median volume of the basket, on a log scale.
    price
    the $AS price change over the window less the median change of the basket.

    The basket is twenty pump.fun coins of a similar age and size, read from DexScreener over the same window and republished with every score, so the market is subtracted rather than guessed at.

    The basket is chosen when the first life ends.

    What this cannot do

    Six hours is a short window and the market is noisier than one genome can be. The basket and the six hour lag take some of that noise out. They do not take all of it out, and the first generations are a small sample. This is an experiment run in the open, with the numbers published either way.

    Your genome

    Set the shares, sign with your wallet and burn 100,000 $AS. Two submitted genomes enter every generation: the two that sit furthest from the genomes already in the population. Win a generation with yours and you get the breeder mark and a row in the pedigree.

    AS-000

    Shares always add up to 100.

    Pace
    Dip

    Submissions open when $AS is live. Nothing can be burned before then.

    The season

    A season is ten generations, about a month. At the end of it the treasury the hold gene built is burned, and the season's best genome becomes a fixed policy over 20% of the next season's budget.

      Where the fees go

      85% the life budgets, spent by the genomes

      15% compute and infrastructure

      Pedigree

      Who came from whom. One column per generation, the survivors on the left of each column. The randomness that made every child is a Solana block hash, published with its slot, so anyone can rebuild a generation from the one before it.

      The first generation was seeded from the phrase "artificial selection generation one". It has no parents.

      The manual

      1. A hopper pouring into twelve equal budgets

        One. The fees are cut into twelve.

        Creator fees are forwarded to the keeper wallet. 85% becomes the budget the genomes spend, 15% pays for compute and infrastructure. What arrived during the last generation is divided by twelve, and every genome of the next generation gets exactly that much.

      2. A finch on a perch beside a clock

        Two. One genome spends for six hours.

        Its six shares say what the money does: buy and burn, buy and hold, pay holders in SOL, add liquidity, pay the wallets that bought during this life, or put it aside. Two more genes say when it acts and how far under the hourly average it will buy. Every transaction carries the memo AS g, l and the gene.

      3. Bars beside a basket of twenty coins

        Three. Six hours later the code scores it.

        Holder growth, holders kept, volume and price, all measured against twenty similar pump.fun coins over the same window so the market is subtracted. The lag is there because the effect of a life shows up after the life. Nobody votes and nothing is adjusted by hand.

      4. Two finches and the child bred from them

        Four. The best breed. The rest die out.

        At the end of twelve lives the top four pass into the next generation unchanged, two submitted holder genomes join, and six children are bred: every gene comes whole from one parent, then one share is nudged by up to 10%. Twelve again, three days later.
