Rarity from deep space.
Particles from deep space cross the Earth all day, every day. Cosmic Ray catches them and turns each hit into a 1 of 1 card, with your thought written on it, on-chain. No algorithm decides your rarity. The particle does.
The detector on this page is a simulation. The real one is being built.
Catch a particle.
Write a thought. It gets bound to the next particle the detector sees, and your card is drawn from that hit: its energy, its timing, its place in the log. This demo runs on a simulated detector and mints nothing.
From deep space to your wallet.
A cosmic ray hits the upper atmosphere and showers into muons. A few cross our detector. That moment becomes yours. No wallet connection, nothing to sign.
Hold $COSMIC
The wallet that receives the muon must hold $COSMIC. It's checked on-chain when your payment lands.
Send a thought
Up to 140 characters. You get a one-time address: send a small SOL fee from your own wallet.
A particle takes it
The next muon through both panels is bound to your thought. The reading is signed and chained into the public log.
Your card, on-chain
A 1 of 1 token lands in your wallet, with your thought and the reading stored in it and locked forever.
Not a holder, or paid too little or too late? The fee goes back to the wallet that sent it, automatically.
The particle picks the class.
Every card is drawn from its own hit: the sky, the track and the glow come from the reading, so no two are alike. The class comes from what the particle actually did. Thresholds will be tuned on real detector data.
A clean hit
One muon, a straight track, ordinary energy.
High energy
The panels light up hard: a peak above 300 mV.
Two at once
Two particles within 100 ms, often from the same shower.
Double and bright
Both at once. The rarest catch.
Every hit, on record.
In the live version this table is the detector's signed output, published as it happens. Every entry carries the hash of the one before it, so nobody, us included, can edit the past.
| Event | Time (UTC) | Peak mV | Gap | Class |
|---|
Built in public.
The pipeline
Payment, signed public log, card and on-chain mint, end to end on a simulated detector.
Token + community
$COSMIC, this page, the first people who care about particles.
Build the detector
Two stacked scintillator panels from an open-source design, filmed while we build them.
Live catches
Real particles, a 24/7 stream and the public log, for wallets holding $COSMIC.
