Write your Solana coin thesis. Let the market weigh in. Every three minutes, the highest eligible multiple wins the round’s available platform creator fees.
Creator fees stay with the dedicated platform wallet. Journal pays the snapshot winner and publishes the chain receipt.
Submitted transactions are still awaiting confirmation. Only finalized, reconciled receipts are marked confirmed. Unrelated wallet deposits are excluded from the reward ledger.
A FEW CLEAR RULES
Write it. Let it play out.
01
Bring a coin and a thesis.
Enter a Pump-origin coin CA, a reward wallet, and your written thesis. The coin must already trade in its canonical SOL-quoted PumpSwap pool and have at least $100,000 market cap. The entered wallet must hold at least 0.05 SOL worth of the Journal platform coin.
02
Start from a real baseline.
Journal verifies the coin, price, supply, liquidity, and holdings. The server records the market-cap baseline and timestamp. One active thesis per reward wallet. Each entry lasts 24 hours.
03
Win a fixed round.
Every three minutes, current cap ÷ entry cap sets the multiple. Holdings are checked again. The highest eligible multiple wins—even below 1×. Exact ties go to the earliest entry. If nobody is eligible, proceeds roll forward.
Your words stay yours.
The original thesis is immutable. You can append clearly timestamped updates or remove your entry from future active rankings. Deleted and expired entries remain in the audit history. A replacement starts with a fresh baseline and time.
A private link, not a login.
We do not ask for wallet connection, a signature, or proof of ownership. Anyone can enter a wallet address, including somebody else’s, and occupy its slot. Save the private management link issued at submission: it is the only way to update or delete that entry. Reward destination is fixed. Journal cannot recover a lost link.
What gets paid?
Only chain-reconciled creator fees collected by the dedicated platform wallet enter the reward ledger. Payouts deduct transaction costs and preserve a 0.02 SOL operating reserve. Small balances roll forward until they cover costs. Pending transactions reserve their funds; they are never paid twice.
Trust is part of the model.
Journal is a custodial backend, not a trustless payout program. The operator controls the platform signer, hosting, settings, and recovery. Entries are opinions and market performance does not establish truth. Participation does not guarantee a reward.
Data must hold up.
Journal uses the same canonical PumpSwap pair for baseline and round valuation, prices the coin from effective on-chain reserves and mint supply with a fresh Coinbase SOL/USD quote, requires at least $10,000 pool liquidity and pool activity in the last five minutes, and accepts observations within a 45-second verification window. A failed market or holdings check holds the entire round without selecting an unverified winner.
The clock keeps an honest record.
Rounds begin on three-minute UTC boundaries; verification and chain confirmation take additional time. A snapshot captures entries active when observation starts. Later submissions or deletions affect subsequent snapshots. The $100k minimum applies at entry only. Downtime never creates historical winners from present prices.
Provisional defaults.
Rechecking holdings each round, earliest-entry tie breaking, and private management links are the current defaults. This initial service supports SOL-quoted canonical pools and up to 100 active entries, with 10 submission attempts per IP per hour and 24 updates per thesis. Pools with disabled operations or unsupported transfer restrictions are held. Market cap uses total on-chain mint supply; it may differ from an aggregator’s circulating-supply estimate.
THE PUBLIC RECORD
Conviction has a paper trail.
Active, expired, and deleted theses stay in the archive. The original words and timestamp remain visible.
