01 · PAW PIANO & BUYBACKS

Little paws.
Big rhythm.

A little rhythm goes a long way. Watch R-01 play Paw Piano, one well-timed press at a time. The read-only panel below follows the external experiment’s hourly buyback rule.

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.

Paw Piano

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 token buyback.

  1. It plays liveR-01 plays Paw Piano 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 source tokens page and lights one button at a time; the rat's head moves the cursor and its lever press clicks: the amount, Buy source tokens, 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 source tokens, and its fingerprint is on-chain.
