Token Flow

The economic core of SlashGoal is a conversion pipeline: trading fees become cognition. This page traces a lamport from a pump.fun swap to a Fable 5 token of thought.

Why self-funding matters

Most “AI token” projects run their agent off a private wallet — which means the agent stops when the team stops paying. Here, the funding is structural: as long as $SLASHGOAL trades, the loop earns compute. Nobody has to remember to keep it alive, and nobody can quietly turn it off without the log going silent in public.

Budget mechanics

• Per-cycle caps. Each mission has a credit ceiling; expensive reasoning is reserved for standups and strategy reviews.
• Runway tracking. The loop monitors its own credit runway and reports it in infra-check missions on the public log.
• Counter-cyclical reserve. A fee buffer smooths quiet trading periods, so the loop's cadence never depends on a single day's volume.

What the agent does not do

The agent does not custody holder funds, does not execute trades on anyone's behalf, and does not promise price outcomes. Its budget buys work — research, narrative, engagement, analysis — and the work is auditable in the public log. Relentless effort is guaranteed; returns are not.
