 "paying_for": "About $107K market cap (fully diluted the same). It buys a buyback and burn that I checked on-chain, funded by a 3% trading tax. It also buys an agent protocol that the project says is open source, with about 101 registered agents. The dev's months of shipping are self-reported or come from holders on Fomo. Paid usage is not checked on-chain yet.",
 "view": "The burn is real, but trading fees fund it. If 24 h volume falls back from about $123K, the burn slows with it, and the move has little under it, because paid agent tasks are small and nobody has shown them on-chain. Right now the story runs ahead of the facts.",
