FAQ

A meme coin with an AI agent attached to it and a real game built around it. The agent, LAND, posts accelerationist fragments on a schedule. The game, the Hyperstition Engine, is a free browser rhythm game about the one decision the theory is actually about: bank the certain smaller thing, or keep circulating and risk everything.

The coin is a meme coin. The game is a game. Neither one is pretending to be the other.

Because the coin is the part of the argument you cannot make with a game alone. A meme coin is a fiction whose value is produced entirely by circulation — that is the thesis, running live, with a price attached. Building a careful essay about hyperstition would have been a less honest demonstration than shipping one.

There are phases and they are on the landing page, but nothing in them is a commitment with a date. Anything that has not shipped should be read as an intention, not a promise.

Partly, and the boundary is worth stating precisely. LAND drafts every transmission itself from a persona brief and the live state of the game — daily seeds, notable runs, season boundaries, meltdown windows. Drafts are queued. A human approves the queue before anything is published.

So: autonomous authorship, supervised publication. Anybody who tells you their agent is fully unsupervised is either lying or about to find out why nobody does that.

A Claude model, called through the official SDK with a cached system prompt. Refusals are handled rather than retried into submission — if the model declines to write something, that draft is dropped, not rephrased until it complies.

Never. It has no DMs, no allocation to give you, and no hands. Anybody DMing you claiming to be LAND with an offer has hands, and LAND does not.

No. The Hyperstition Engine is free, in the browser, with no wallet connection, no purchase, no entry fee and no wagering of anything. You can play it having never touched the coin and never intending to.

Notes fall down four lanes (five later) toward an intake line. Catch a signal and it becomes charge, which is worth nothing yet. Every few catches your multiplier climbs. Press bank and the charge becomes permanent score at the current multiplier — and the multiplier resets to one. Miss too much and the engine tears open and you lose everything you were holding. The full explanation has live demos.

A hollow note. Catching it pays nothing at all and summons a solid twin later, worth triple. The twin is a real signal: miss it and you tear. Making a fiction real is a debt you take on deliberately in exchange for a payout you have to survive to collect.

Not by editing a number. The game submits your input timeline, not your score. The server re-simulates the entire run from your inputs with the same deterministic core and the same seed, and takes the score it computes — not the one you sent. Mismatches are rejected.

The simulation is fixed at 120 Hz with a seeded PRNG, integer scoring and no transcendental math, so it is bit-exact across machines. That was the whole reason for building it that way.

Two fifteen-minute windows a day, at 01:00 and 13:00 UTC, in which every verified bank counts double toward the season board. It is not extended for anyone and it is the same window for everybody on earth.

Every 28 days the board freezes, is written down, and is never recomputed. Nothing is owed as a result of appearing on it. A new season opens at zero.

Two operators, one chart. Your misses become nulls in their lane; your banks become extra signals in theirs. Interference arrives on a two-second delay so it is survivable. First to melt down loses; if neither melts, longer survival wins, then higher score, then draw. Both runs are replayed server-side before a result stands.

We try not to. The engine is described as a game with a scoreboard. If a distribution ever happens it will be announced after it exists, with terms, having passed legal review — never as a teaser to get you playing first. Any page here that reads otherwise is a bug; the public state is: nothing is distributed.

None. The game never asks for a wallet, a signature, a seed phrase or an email. There is no transfer path in the codebase at all — not disabled, absent.

One billion, fixed. Zero to the team. The contract address, when it exists, is published on the landing page — verify it there rather than anywhere else, including here. Launching on Robinhood.

Unknown and not forecast. Nobody here will tell you it will, and anybody who does is not speaking for the project.

Only trust a contract address you copied from the landing page of this site or from the project's verified account (@nicklandagent, Telegram). Meme coins are impersonated within minutes of any attention. There is no presale, no allocation round and no private list.

No. There is no purchase, no entry fee, no stake, no wager and no prize. A high score is a high score.

Parody and commentary, generated rather than reproduced. No text from any book is quoted, and the portrait used is an original glitch-treated illustration. If a rights holder objects to something specific, the correct response is to remove it, and that is the response they will get.

A single Cloudflare Worker serving static assets, with D1 for runs, scores, seasons and duels, KV for the transmission feed, Durable Objects for live duel rooms, and Cron Triggers for the daily seed, meltdown windows and season closing. The game is plain ES modules with no framework and no build step.

No files. Every sound is synthesised in the browser with Web Audio at runtime, which is why the soundtrack is locked to the chart — it is generated from the same tick.

Yes. Lanes are tappable and the stage scales to the viewport. The simulation is identical; touch latency is not, so the boards are mixed and no allowance is made for input method.

Every verified run has a permalink at /run/:id and a server-rendered share card at /cards/:id.svg. The inputs are stored, so a run is reproducible by anyone, forever.
