the focus is still real — mainnet-beta and mainnet standards
$SQUARE fees for repetition.
the machine that catalogues every launch pays on every leg after its first swap. a person making one transfer pays nothing.
A per-mint extension for Token-2022, and its twin core EIP for Ethereum. Same shape: reference counters, two quadratic ratchets, the larger one wins.
first — solana, token-2022
SlotReferenceFee, a mint extension that prices repetition.
The k-th transfer of a mint inside one slot pays an escalating fee, so pools spammed, ladders quoted, liquidity added and pulled around every fill — the catalogue pays in proportion to its own repetition. A person making one transfer pays nothing. In the token program, not a transfer hook, because a hook cannot see every transfer of a mint and cannot be made mandatory.
fast · per slot · globalfloor · n² bp
the mint's n-th transfer in a slot, whoever made it, pays floor · n² bp after the free ones, capped — but only charged to an actor already on its third own reference in the slot. a bystander's single swap in a busy slot pays nothing.
slow · per actor · per weekslow_floor · m² bp
the same actor's m-th reference across a week of slots pays slow_floor · m² after sixteen free. a wallet that keeps coming back over hours and days pays more each time; one that trades a dozen times a week pays nothing. nobody can raise anyone else's count.
the actor is the quieter side of the transfer. a transfer counts on both token accounts whose balance it changes and is priced on the lower of their two ordinals — a pool vault never pays for being walked. dust cannot raise anyone's ordinal: transfers under min_reference_amount never move the counter.

then — ethereum, core
The same shape, as a core EIP.
A per-address reference counter kept by the execution client, outside world state — the same shape as the EIP-2929 access sets. Any account may enroll itself once, irrevocably, through a system registry. Every state-changing call into an enrolled address is then priced on two ratchets and pays the larger: k-th call in the block, global, and m-th call by the same origin across a week. The constants come from the replay above, not from a prior.
demos
One idea, two instruments.
evm
the demo is $SQUARE.
Deployed where the EIP's enrolled registry can be walked for real: same two ratchets, real fees, real wallets, real machines paying them. Watch the receipts, not the whitepaper.
solana
the violent demo is solana on art.
The whole chain prices repetition: the k-th write to an account pays 5000·k² lamports, every CU and heap ceiling lifted, MEV-less by construction. Not a token extension — the base fee itself. Soon on pump.
A share vault, the shape of ERC-4626. R = mainnet $ART in the vault — every deposit's lock-up plus every fee kept. S = every art-side $ART, mirrored or bridge-minted, after every burn. The rate R/S starts near zero and only goes up: the vault seeds itself from traffic. A 1% fee on both mint and redeem, taken in mainnet $ART, stays in the vault — every crossing is a donation to everyone holding.
deposit x on mainnetmint 0.99x · S/R
you lock real mainnet $ART, you receive art-side at the rate, less the fee. the rate is unchanged — the vault is never over- or under-collateralized; total claims are always exactly R.
redeem y on artrelease 0.99 · y · R/S
burn art-side, unlock mainnet at the rate, less the fee. the fee stays in R — so every exit raises the rate for the people who stay. a rush to the door rewards the people still in it: there is no bank-run advantage, everyone redeems at the same R/S.
buyback-and-burn bS → S − b
art's fee streams buy art-side $ART — mirrored float or minted, it's all S — and burn it from total supply. the rate rises to R/(S−b): burn fraction f of supply and the rate multiplies by 1/(1−f), the ratio from initial, reflected in every mint and redeem. the buybacks run through art's own pools, whose fees route back into the buyback. the burn pays for itself.
the band. the art-side price sits within ~1% of R/S — beyond that, mint-and-sell or buy-and-redeem pays. a round trip costs ~2%: the k² fee at the border. two-sided deflation: bridging in locks mainnet float, buybacks burn art float — use the chain and both supplies shrink. what can leave is capped: snapshot assets, stables and LSTs are internal value; they exit only by being traded into $ART and redeemed. the most that can ever leave is R. invented value is still value — inside.
why use solana on art
Your value is already mirrored.
your value is mirrored
every mainnet-beta account exists on art — same keys, same balances, same pools, same programs. your wallet already works; nothing to bridge, nothing to buy. spending there never touches your mainnet funds.
mev-less by construction
the sandwich is a walk — attack, victim, backrun on the same pool. the k-th write pays 5000·k², so the machine making the legs of a sandwich pays 9× on its last leg. a person making one trade pays nothing. no priority-fee auction either — compute isn't scarce, so there's nothing to bid for.
no ceilings
CU, heap, block limits — lifted. the app that cannot exist on mainnet-beta — a language model inside a transaction — is a normal friday on art.
and the whole mirror exits to real mainnet value through the vault above, at R/S. forked from mainnet-beta at a documented slot — stake rewritten to the chain's own validators, on-curve mint authorities frozen so nobody prints inside, PDAs untouched so LSTs live.
