The Open Board

Slots, not supply. And slots run out.

Every public post is a slot that is either open or taken. A post id can be claimed exactly once, so the good ones go, and they go fast.

0

  • ScarcityA finite number of good posts per day. Gone once taken.
  • UrgencyHesitation has a visible cost: somebody else holds the slot and you watch it trade.
  • ProofThe lock lives in a registry contract, not in a database we could edit.

How it works

Follow one post, from the moment it is written to the moment its author is paid.

the claimerthe author

  1. 01the author

    Written

    Somebody posts. They have never heard of XClaim and do not need to. The post is theirs; nothing about that changes.

  2. 02the claimer

    Spotted

    A reader sees it landing before anyone has priced it. In the post's own action row, on hover only, a small Claim appears.

  3. 03the threads cross

    Claimed

    The side panel opens already filled from the post. Origin is locked and cannot be edited by anyone, including us. One transaction, about twenty seconds.

  4. 04

    Locked

    That post can never be claimed again, by anybody. The lock is written on-chain by a registry, not kept in a database we could edit.

  5. 05

    Traded

    Tradable from block one on a bonding curve. Every trade pays a creator tax of 1–5%, chosen at the claim and fixed forever after.

  6. 06the threads cross

    Paid

    A splitter contract routes that tax: half to the claimer, thirty percent to the author, the rest to the protocol. The author's share exists before the author does anything.

  7. 07

    Kept

    The post's text and media were copied to permanent storage before the claim was sent. If the original disappears, the coin's page says so plainly and keeps the record.

The split

Run the numbers yourself.

This is the real routing, not an illustration. Pick a volume, a creator tax and a tier, and see where every unit of that tax goes.

Trading volume
Creator tax
Claimer's tier

Creator tax collected

0.75 ETH

25 ETH × 3%

Claimer 50%
0.375 ETH
Author 30%
0.225 ETH
Protocol 20%
0.15 ETH

The author's thirty percent never moves, whatever tier the claimer holds. A higher tier only shrinks the protocol's slice, and the claimer keeps the difference.

[ A model of the routing, not a forecast. Volume is whatever you type. ]

Six surfaces, one habit

Claiming is the first thing it does. It is not the only reason to open it.

Scored on your own machine. Only post ids are ever sent.

Once a day, in the panel. Scored on your own machine — only post ids are ever sent, never what you read or for how long. It can be switched off, and switching it off stops the local collection too.

The problem

Launchpads have a demand problem, not a supply problem.

  1. 01

    Deploying is free. Caring is not.

    Anyone can deploy a coin in ninety seconds. Almost nobody can make a stranger care about one.

  2. 02

    A coin with no story has to buy one.

    That is why most launches spend more on attention than they ever raise.

  3. 03

    The timeline writes hundreds of stories an hour.

    Finished, argued over, already carrying an audience that arrived on its own.

  4. 04

    Today those stories pay nobody.

    Least of all the person who wrote them.

The story is already written, the audience is already assembled, and the market opens where the readers already are.

Positioning

What every other launchpad does, and what this one does instead.

You invent a coin from nothing

The coin already exists as a post somebody wrote

Supply is infinite — the same idea gets minted twice

Supply is a scarce namespace: one post, one coin, forever

Origin is unverifiable

Every coin carries a source document with a timestamp

Nobody is owed anything

The author is paid by default, before they know we exist

Distribution means promoting it yourself

Distribution is a permanent record every chart reader already renders

One action, then silence

Six surfaces, one habit

The record

What gets written on-chain, permanently.

namelifted from the post
symbolthe claimer's choice
logothe post's media, copied to permanent storage first
description"Claimed from @author's post · XClaim"
socials.websitexclaim.click/t/<postId>the door
origin linkthe origin post's permanent link
creatorFeeRecipientthe splitter contractthe author's share
creatorTax1–5%, chosen at the claim, immutable after
Two of these rows carry the whole business. The website field is rendered as a button by every chart reader on the chain, and the fee recipient is a contract, not a wallet.

Distribution

We do not buy attention. Every coin carries a door.

The quiet loop

  1. 1A stranger opens a chart reader and finds a coin.
  2. 2Its website field points at the coin's page here.
  3. 3Every reader on the chain renders that as a button.
  4. 4They land on the original post, the chart, the author's status.
  5. 5They install, or they claim a post of their own.

and round again

The loud loop

  1. 1The author's share accrues from the first trade.
  2. 2They find out — a reply, a mention, their own author card.
  3. 3They post about being paid for something they already wrote.
  4. 4That post reaches the audience that made the coin work.

and round again

One claim → one permanent door in every chart reader, and one motivated person with an audience.

The author

Paid by default. Three doors, no pressure from us.

The balance accrues whether or not they ever appear. When they do, the choice is theirs.

Door 01

Claim

Verify the handle, withdraw the balance, done. No relationship with the coin required.

Door 02

Decline

Refuse the money. Their slice routes to the buyback instead, and the coin's page says so permanently.

Door 03

Adopt

Take the balance and put their name on the coin's page as its acknowledged origin.

Lapse · 90 days

Untouched after 90 days, the slice routes to the buyback. The countdown is public on the coin's page from day one.

The opt-out

Any author can verify their handle and switch claiming off for everything they have ever posted and will post. Enforced in the extension and in the registry. There is no appeal process on our side, because we should not be the ones deciding whose refusal is valid.

The flywheel

  1. more claims
  2. more coins carrying our record into every chart reader
  3. more first-time visitors on coin pages
  4. more installs, more authors discovering a balance
  5. more competition for the open slots
  6. holding the token becomes the edge
  7. protocol share and lapsed slices buy it back

Revenue

Where the money comes from, and where it goes.

  1. 01

    The protocol's slice of the creator tax

    20% of every claimed coin's tax, falling to 15, 10 and 0 by the claimer's tier. Recurring for the life of the coin.

  2. 02

    Standing Orders

    A flat fee, consumed whether or not a claim happens. The only line that earns on a quiet day, which is exactly why it exists.

  3. 03

    Suffix grinding

    A fee to grind a salt so the coin's address ends in the claimer's chosen mark.

  4. 04

    Consignment listings

    Authors list free. A listing that gets claimed pays a small flat cut out of the protocol's slice — never out of the author's share.

Never a revenue line: holding user principal. No escrow, no pooled buy, no custody of anybody's money at any point.

Allocation of protocol revenue

Engineering40%
Buyback20%
Claimer rewards, by live rate20%
Distribution and content10%
Reserve10%

The buyback is also fed by every lapsed author slice, so money nobody collected becomes supply reduction rather than our revenue. That rule removes our incentive to keep authors uninformed.

Bought back so far

0 $CLAIM

Nothing has been bought back, because nothing has launched. The ledger opens with the token.

Architecture

Three layers. The database is an index, never the truth.

Layer 01

Browser extension

Manifest V3

  • content script — reads the page you already have open
  • page bridge — borrows the wallet from the tab
  • service worker — the port between panel and page
  • side panel — claim form, position view, the report

Layer 02

Robinhood Chain

chainId 4663 · ETH network fees

  • launchpad factory (external) — mints the coin
  • XClaimRegistry — enforces one post, one coin
  • XClaimSplitter — set as the fee recipient at birth
  • XClaimStanding — first-claim rights, no principal

Layer 03

Web

xclaim.click · app.xclaim.click

  • coin pages, author cards, the board, the lookup
  • a public read API anybody may index
  • an index over chain data, rebuildable from it
The content script never writes, never posts, and never acts on your account. It reads the page you already have open.

Launchpad parameters — read off the deployed factory

Launch fee0.0005 ETH
Launch-window tax3 seconds, starting at 99% — owner-controlled, not ours to set
Max creator tax10%, fixed at mint, no setter exists
Pair tokennative, never wrapped
Exemption listan overload exists. We never call it.

That last row is a product decision, not a limitation. An exemption list is how a launchpad quietly front-runs its own users, and the only credible way to promise we do not is to call the function that cannot.

Public read API

  • GET/api/explore
  • GET/api/author/{handle}
  • GET/api/claim/{postIdHash}
  • GET/api/lookup/{address}
  • GET/api/board
  • GET/api/melt

Open and unauthenticated on purpose. A provenance standard that only works through our own website is not a standard.

The record

A track record, with the unflattering numbers beside the flattering ones.

A reputation system that only shows wins is a marketing page. Dry Spell is what makes the other five mean anything.

Anti-gaming

The obvious attacks, and what is already in their way.

Write a post yourself, claim it instantly, forever

Self-claims are labelled, not blocked, and the board filters them by default

Flood the board with claims to climb a ranking

Nothing ranks on claim count. The board ranks on volume only

Claim everything, hope something trades

Rate limits rise with live rate — claimers whose coins trade earn more claims

Quote the post to claim it a second time

Quotes and reposts resolve to the original post id

Claim an author who wants no part of it

The opt-out is absolute, enforced in the extension and the registry

Pass a coin off as endorsed by its author

The not-affiliated line sits above the fold on every coin page, permanently

Roadmap

Four phases. The token is not in the first one.

  1. Phase 1 · weeks 1–4in progress

    The claim

    • Registry and splitter contracts written, tested, deployed
    • Extension: hover affordance, side panel, wallet bridge
    • Coin pages with the source document in full
    • Author cards, viewable with no wallet
    • Public read API open from day one

    A stranger can claim a post and the author's balance is provably accruing in a contract.

  2. Phase 2 · weeks 5–10

    The habit

    • The Miss Report, scored locally
    • The Open Board
    • Provenance Lookup on coins that are not ours
    • The buyback ledger, public before it executes
    • $CLAIM launches, fair

    People open the product on days they do not claim.

  3. Phase 3 · months 3–6

    The market

    • Standing Orders
    • The Consignment Desk
    • The Archive hardened, redaction path live
    • Claimer records, titles and the filtered board

    Authors arrive on purpose instead of by accident.

  4. Phase 4 · months 6–12

    Beyond one feed

    • Any public URL with an author and a timestamp becomes claimable
    • The registry is already URL-shaped — a reader change, not a rewrite
    • The lookup becomes where anyone checks a coin's origin

    "Does it have a source document?" is a question the market asks by default.

Metrics

What we watch, and what we refuse to celebrate.

Watched

Live rate
% of coins still trading after 24 hours
Authors paid
total routed to the people who wrote the posts
Author claim rate
% of balances that get collected
Cold arrivals
visitors who came from a chart reader
Return rate
% opening the product on a day they did not claim
Time to claim
median minutes from post to claim

Deliberately ignored

Total claim count

Trivially inflatable, and it says nothing. It is never presented as a success metric.

Key decisions

Ten decisions, and the reason behind each.

01

One post, one coin, locked on-chain

Creates a scarce namespace out of an infinite supply of ideas.

02

The author is paid by default

Consent is a nice idea and a dead start. Money first, then the choice to keep it.

03

The splitter is a contract, not our wallet

We never hold the author's money, so we can never lose it or be accused of holding it.

04

Never call the exemption overload

Exemptions are how a launchpad front-runs its own users.

05

Lapsed slices go to the buyback

Removes our incentive to keep authors uninformed.

06

The Miss Report is scored locally

The one surface touching what a person reads must be the one that sends the least.

07

The read API is open and unauthenticated

A provenance standard that only works on our site is not a standard.

08

Self-claims are labelled, never blocked

Unenforceable to block, and some of the best coins will be someone launching their own.

09

No escrow, no pooled buy, no custody

Holding user principal is the exact sin we set out to avoid.

10

The token launches last

So it is priced on a working product, not on a promise.

The honest take

Where this is strong, and where it can break.

Strengths

  • The map only exists once

    Nobody else holds a claimed-and-unclaimed map over a public feed.

  • Distribution compounds

    Every claim plants a permanent door in every chart reader. It never decays.

  • The data is not reconstructable

    Which posts became markets, how fast, and what happened next.

  • The position cannot be copied with code

    Being the one that pays authors — and publishes its own Dry Spell numbers.

Risks

  • Platform dependence

    The reader lives inside somebody else's page, and that page changes without warning. Phase 4 is the mitigation, and it is a roadmap item, not a promise.

  • Author backlash

    Some authors will hate this on sight. The opt-out, the decline door and the labelled self-claim exist because that reaction is legitimate.

  • Thin claim quality

    If claimers take noise, live rate falls and the board becomes worthless. Ranking on volume and gating limits on live rate are the defence.

  • Untested ground

    A coin whose value references a real person's work is new territory. The disclaimer, the opt-out and the refusal to hold principal are the posture.

Nine claimable posts went past you today. Somebody else got to all nine.

The extension ships at launch. Until then, everything about how it works is on this page and in the docs.
