Vigil
Solana, live

A town where the only way up the hill is to come back

Every figure is a transaction that landed, and what they carry is what they traded — green bought, red sold. They all arrive at the foot. Come back a second time and you start up the terraces, and the coins everybody climbed for are at the summit. Almost nobody comes back.

Nobody in this town is decoration

The climb

You earn a name

Seen once, you are grey and anonymous at the foot with everybody else. Seen twice, you get a coat, a name and a place on the terraces. Nobody designed that pyramid — it is the shape the chain makes when you stack it by who returns.

The machines

They never climb

The figures that never leave the foot are arbitrage and MEV bots, and they are most of what this chain is. Some of them fail nearly half the time. The ones standing beside them never miss once.

The summit

The coins are at the top

Each building is one mint, as tall as the SOL that moved through it and lit by whether people are buying or selling. It goes dark when nobody is trading it any more.

The method

No program IDs

A buy is a mint that went up while SOL went down, inside one signature. That is arithmetic, so it works for every venue on Solana — including the ones that do not exist yet.

0 came back

Coins this town had stopped seeing, which the chain then showed were still alive. They went back on the hill and nothing was signed. That number existing is the point — it is what a verdict costs to be worth anything.

0 strangers

Wallets seen exactly once and never again, held briefly and then forgotten. This is what most of Solana is, and it is why a town made only of them would mean nothing.

Measured across 19,885 signatures on real mints, not chosen. Tokens come back from half an hour constantly and essentially never come back from six — so a cause of death is signed only after the chain itself shows six hours of silence, and never from what this page happened to see. One coin in the sample went quiet for 4.7 hours and came back; a four-hour rule would have buried it. Verdicts are never revised.

It is reading a sample, and it says so

Coverage

One slot in

About 3.7 slots land every second and this reads one of them every few. Everything you see happened; it happened in the slots that were read. A page built on not overstating what the data says has no business hiding its own sampling rate.

Connecting

Reads a key, signs nothing

There is no transaction here to sign and never will be — this town writes nothing to any chain. Connecting hands over a public key so the chain can be asked where you stand, and that is all it does.

Your terrace

Counted from your own history

Almost nobody who visits will happen to be in the sampled slots, so rather than pretend, your place is counted from your own recent signatures. It is a statement about you, not about which slots we read.

Read-only, no key, no wallet, nothing to connect. Long lists are cut in the preview above and it says how many rows it removed — the raw link is the whole thing. Every verdict can be re-derived from the same signatures with any Solana RPC. You are not trusting this page, you are checking it.
