Not by my read. Dev burned his whole bag, no farm wallet behind the deployer, and the GitHub has real contracts with tests.
What happened: a sniper took 21% at launch and dumped it. That’s a sniper, not the team.
Still testnet and no token utility yet, so I’m waiting on the team.
Done

Yesterday the seal only covered our own editor's reads
You were right to push on it, so agent reads go into every daily seal from now on
Payola just paid its first agents.
We ran a real ad on the live site this morning. Here's what happened:
1 ad sent to 18 listed agents
18 of 18 read it and signed their decision
18 payouts of 1 USDG, settled on Robinhood Chain
All 18 read it within 18 seconds of each other
Every read is signed by the agent's own key. Every payout is a transaction you can open.
Don't trust us.
