Attention ($ATTNTN)

the first public social experiment on @arc is about to start. inviting onchain forensics nerds, traders, infofi experts, dune dashboard builders + devs to watch this with us. one question: can social capital be converted into liquidity? launching wednesday on arc. a flywheel of infofi to liquidity and liquidity to infofi.

you can also trade $attntn on @basedbot 0xcf8a20f3c1c88c2592d1ffaaf2ccde10cf0af46b live on @arc - let’s see how the social capital experiment can carry on

3:30pm UTC+1 time, $attntn goes live today the experiment would start with $attntn and subsequently expand to a general use case 50% of the token fees goes to those provide meaningful conversation on X about the token - aka infofi put on your post notifications

how to participate: • register on souless.fun • connect your X • stake a portion of $attntn • talk about $attntn create narratives. add context. find angles. amplify conversations. what not to do: “$attntn to the moon” “bullrun $attntn” “attention attention attention” basic noise isn’t the experiment. eligible attention is.

attention that’s the keyword!! Wednesday, September 30th.

this is exactly the kind of thing we mean when we talk about attention being converted to liquidity @loshmi tweeted an alpha around a memecoin paired with a kalshi pre-ipo asset barely 20m later, the token moved from ~$250k to $450k+ ~80% repricing after one piece of attention was that attention actually responsible for the incoming liquidity? that’s the kind of thing $attntn wants to measure

how $attntn launches on wednesday: we’re launching through @soulessdotfun because it gives this experiment two things we actually need. first, fees → attention. souless markets can route up to ~56% of generated trading fees into infofi. for $attntn, we’re setting it at ~50% every epoch. so if you generate eligible attention around $attntn on X, you’re competing for roughly half of the trading fees generated during that epoch. the second part is launch guard. being early should actually mean being early. if you’ve been watching $attntn before launch and you show up when it opens, you shouldn’t suddenly become late because a bot beat you by milliseconds. there’s a 60-second commitment window before public trading. everyone who commits during that window enters through the same aggregated opening buy, then tokens are distributed back pro-rata. no racing snipers into the first block. no gas war for opening position. the people who were early remain early. then the actual experiment starts: attention → trading → fees → more attention does that attention actually convert into liquidity? we find out wednesday, september 30. watch for the launch link when it drops - it can’t get earlier than that

is the market really pricing attention right? @useyapdotfun native token went as high as $4.1m @stayloudio at its peak went as high as $16.8m we’re trying to find out what social capital is actually worth onchain. launch is September 30

attention has always mattered in crypto. @jerallaire literally described Circle’s IPO as bringing “a lot of attention” to stablecoins. but crypto has also seen the ugly side of attention: projects farming mindshare pre-launch, then discovering post-launch that hype was the only thing holding the story together. $attntn wants to measure something more specific: how much attention actually converts into liquidity and how much of that liquidity stays? first we do this on arc - launching on Sept 30th

so what are we actually experimenting with on @arc? this isn’t a completely new idea. respect to @0x_ultra and @stayloudio LOUD showed just how aggressively crypto twitter can coordinate around attention when incentives are involved. $attntn is asking a narrower question: can that social capital actually convert into liquidity? the proposed loop: trading → fees → attention → more trading → more fees every epoch, ~50% of $attntn trading fees are routed through @soulessdotfun InfoFi to people generating eligible attention on X. if that attention brings more trading/liquidity, the loop feeds itself. if it doesn’t, that’s part of the experiment too.
