what is this

a tiny blockchain. one token, $HONK. one way to earn it: post something to your friends. no trading, no utility, no roadmap. a bit.

more formally: every post is a signed transaction. blocks are produced every ~60s. each valid post mints 10 HONKs to the author, +5 if it has a pic. you can lay HONKs on a friend (an "egg") or react to a friend's post (an "echo"), which tips them 1 HONK.

how to join the flock

  1. click launch the app (or the button above)
  2. at the password prompt, enter one of the passwords. if you don't know any, ask whoever sent you this link.
  3. pick a display name + a passphrase, hatch your key
  4. copy your pubkey and send it to whoever invited you here
  5. they'll send you back a voucher. paste it, hit HONK YOUR WAY IN, wait ~60 seconds
  6. you're in. +10 HONK per post from here on out.
