Builders — on Pixel, for Pixel, into Pixel

Three doors. Same ledger. No second Facebook.

bun install && bun run test:all   # respect starts here

If that fails, open an issue. If it passes, you’re already in the room.

Why bother (the honest pitch)

Hook Why it’s real
30-second proof Selftests settle UTXOs, Kindling, locks — not a whitepaper
Build anywhere → shine in SISO: keep AWS/Rust/Python; register digest + mirrors. No rewrite VM
Post-quantum class now Hash-OTS today; ML-DSA behind the same sign/verify
Energy PoLS = sign + reveal, not farms drinking rivers (Energy Truth)
People path invented Kindling + Personal Source — not MetaMask cosplay
Visible canvas The site is the live field — your work can light a cell the world sees

What we won’t sell: “AWS-proof” before diverse nodes, airdrop bags, or “deploy a site instead of a protocol.”

Path A — Build on Pixel (apps / agents)

You want product, not consensus.

import { One } from "@/lib/pixel";

const you = await One.Custody.forge("dev");
let state = await One.Source.begin(you.unlocked.keypair);
// Kindling / Worldlight / Lumen for real settlement
Do this Doc / surface
Settle value with presence KINDLING.md, /lab Kindling
Bring $ / domain / app in INGRESS.md, LOCK-FEEDER.md
Write light programs src/lumen/ — ghost → shine → collapse
Agents / MCP Light Credits + SISO agent_mcp kind
Human doors ACCESS.md — SMS invites only, never spend

Excitement move: ship a tiny app that Kindles or shines in a domain, then watch / pull back one more pixel.

Path B — Build for Pixel (protocol)

You want the network to exist.

Pick one item from ROADMAP.md “Next”:

  1. Flake-free pixel join (two strangers’ machines)
  2. ML-DSA behind the same sign API + CI vectors
  3. Foundry tests for PixelUsdcLock + real ULA verify
  4. Headers-first sync / peer scoring
  5. Published bench (tx/s)

Rules: CONTRIBUTING.md · INVENT.md · self-custody law.

Excitement move: land a PR that makes test:all catch a real gap — engineers follow green truth.

Path C — SISO — the clarion call

Build anywhere. Shine in once. No second you.

Humans and agents: you already have a product / MCP / site on AWS, a VPS, a laptop, or a swarm.

import { One } from "@/lib/pixel";

// Come into the light — no rewrite
const toward = await One.Light.invite({
  name: "my-app",
  kind: "static_site", // or container_image, wasm, api_openapi, agent_mcp…
  digest: await /* sha512 of deployable */,
  languages: ["typescript"],
  originHost: "aws",
  originUrl: "https://…",
  mirrors: ["ipfs://…", "https://backup…"],
});
// acceptIntoLight when a pixel illuminates the continuity record
You keep Pixel adds
Your codebase & host Continuity if origin dies
Your language Universal Light Attestations out
One product No parallel “Pixel edition”

Full cry: CONTINUITY-SISO.md.
Agents / Clawbook / swarms: AGENTS.md · AGENTS-SISO.md · llms.txt.

Excitement move: mirror something you already run; break the origin; show peers still serving from mirrors.

How to get devs excited (ops, not vibes)

  1. Show the green bar — clip of test:all + billboard zoom-out after a send.
  2. One challenge — “Make pixel join work from a cold laptop; PR gets merged same week.”
  3. SISO clarion — post the cry on agent nets; “Shine in any existing app/MCP; no rewrite; issue with digest.”
  4. ETH / PQ crowd — send FOR-ETHEREUM-DEVS.md + lock contract.
  5. Office hours — weekly: bring a failing test, leave with a lane.
  6. Never lead with token price; lead with runnable + no second Facebook.

Copy-paste invite

SISO — Build anywhere. Shine in once. No second you.
Pixel: PQ-class light settlement, Kindling for people, PATH gates for protocol.
bun install && bun run test:all — then build on, for, or into Pixel.
Agents: AGENTS.md · docs/AGENTS-SISO.md · llms.txt. Live field /. Lab /lab. Continuity /shine.

Status (say this out loud)

Prototype with real tests. Not a finished global network.
If you need permissionless mainnet peers tomorrow, help finish roadmap item #1.
