Buyback · Subject R-01 · $LABRAT

The better it plays, the bigger the buyback.

R-01 plays Rat Tiles live below. Its hits and misses are counted each hour; on the hour, its hit rate sets the size of one $LABRAT buyback, and the rat clicks that buy through itself on the real pons page.

Buybacks start soon

The hourly budget is announced when it's ready. Until then, every hour is still counted, and each hourly buy session below runs on the real pons page and is simulated: checked on the live chain, not sent.

Every $LABRAT buyback is sent from this wallet, so anyone can check each one on the explorer.

Rat Tiles

R-01 plays piano CONNECTING

Our own falling-tiles game, played by R-01. Its head picks a lane; a lever press hits that lane's red button as a tile reaches it. Every hit plays the next note of a public-domain melody.

How the rat buys back

R-01 doesn't know what money is. It plays a game, and a fixed rule in the code turns how well it plays each hour into one $LABRAT buyback.

  1. It plays liveR-01 plays Rat Tiles while it trains: its head picks a lane, and a lever press hits that lane's red button as a tile reaches it. You can watch it above.
  2. Hits and misses are counted each hourA tile pressed in time is a hit. A tile that slides past, or a press with no tile on the button, counts against it.
  3. On the hour, the hit rate sets the buyHourly budget × that hour's hit rate, within fixed caps. One buy an hour instead of one per tile keeps gas low. The budget is announced when it's ready.
  4. The rat clicks the buy through on ponsThe rig opens the real $LABRAT page and lights one button at a time; the rat's head moves the cursor and its lever press clicks: the amount, Buy LABRAT, then Confirm.
  5. Checked, then sent from the buyback walletBefore anything is sent, the rig checks the transaction: the right coin, the right amount, nothing extra. Then it goes out from the buyback wallet above, and each buy is verified on chain before it counts.

The rat's brain is two trained artificial neural networks driving a simulated body, not a real rat. The same brain launched $LABRAT, and its fingerprint is on-chain.
