📢 Sankivers: The Concept
Sankivers is a long-standing vision-a metaverse concept intricately woven with reality, where virtual floating city-islands "live" above real-world locations, drifting endlessly across the surface of the Earth.
In a world without AI, prototyping an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) would have been prohibitively expensive. Now, however, we have mobilized and brought this concept to life on paper, which is far easier to visualize than to explain in words.
The Ecosystem in Brief
There will be a total of 888 islands. The first 88 can only be reserved by burning 888,000 Sanki. This burn requirement is applied retroactively and covers absolutely any type of burn: direct, discount, or gaming.
Currently, 34 out of these 88 islands have already been reserved by members of our community:
TiongCorpex:
7 islands (S-002, S-013, S-014, S-018-021)
SWEETIUM:
5 islands (S-005, S-025-027, S-031)
Master Kenobi:
5 islands (S-009, S-010, S-022-024)
Ovidiu Cioclov:
5 islands (S-012, S-015-017, S-030)
Ciprian Dascalu:
2 islands (S-001, S-033) - The Ultimate OG (Island #1)
Ionut T.:
2 islands (S-004, S-034)
Community Pool:
8 holders (S-003, 006, 007, 008, 011, 028, 029, 032)
S-001 belongs to Ciprian Dascalu - the first person to ever surpass the 888,000 threshold (on November 22, 2023), thereby receiving Island #1 and the "Ultimate OG" badge.
Q: What are these floating city-islands?
A: This is an art concept depicting a self-sustainable city that hosts several thousand residents. It includes hundreds of luxury apartments, commercial spaces, and recreational areas.
Q: How do they float?
A: Much like the floating mountains in Avatar movie, an island in Sankivers uses a fictional element called Unobtanium, which possesses the property of canceling out the effects of gravity. They move by generating repulsion against meta-particles from hidden dimensions of space, without creating noise, vibrations, or air currents around them.
Q: What is the current utility of these islands?
A: At this stage, Sankivers is a visual concept and a technical demonstration of what is possible to build. We are committed to evolving this project based on real-world and community interest.
The initial 88 islands will be reserved through $Sanki burning only; once those are claimed, we will move to the next phase, where the remaining islands will be available for acquisition via real money to provide the necessary funding for further development. Until that threshold is met, the project serves as a high-fidelity demo, proving the potential of the ecosystem should the community choose to drive it forward.
Q: I burned over 888,000 $Sanki, where can I find it?
A: If you have burned over 888,000 $Sanki, you can access your island from your account on the https://t.co/iVeTlHncio platform. The "Control" button will take you directly to your island in Sankivers. Those who do not have an island can navigate to any island as a guest, though they will not be able to access the navigation panel.
Note.
https://t.co/h5IC4kTVEe is not currently optimized for mobile. The focus is on pushing the quality of 3D graphics using WegGPU technology. On desktop you need a browser that supports WebGPU.
Questions are welcome

The places are real, all the data in the HUD is real data from the same location. The sun, the stars, the temperature, the wind, the topology of the place. Radar data for both aircraft and boats - everything is taken in real time from the real world.
Later, with the help of the app, your island will be visible in real locations wherever it passes, using augmented reality through the sankivers mobile app. Wherever you are in the world, if someone is near that location, they will be able to see it on their mobile phone.
Our goal would be to bring photorealism to the browser using AI, WebGPU and Gaussian splatting.

👀 The blockchain industry, by and large, is a disappointment for everyone who believed it could bring a bright future. The lack of utility has ultimately spoken for itself. Everything is based on faith rather than utility. Everything revolves around hype specifically designed to deceive investors by selling them useless and nonsensical things.
We, Sanki, have designed a fair and long-term sustainable economic system, but the lack of adoption and interest hits us hard as well. We have a functional infrastructure - https://t.co/NGJe5M3IUV - which is 100% operational - but in order to make use of this infrastructure, we need something...
The easiest path would have been to try the gaming space. With the little money we raised in the presale, we wouldn't have accomplished much, and Sanki would have been just another completely failed project. Gaming studios with million-dollar budgets shut down their operations due to lack of vision, sustainability, and maintenance costs. We chose a different path.
Instead of trying the same story, we went for something far more special and distinct: a web graphics engine using a new technology, validated only in 2023 - namely WebGPU. It was always part of the plan, but somewhat unrealistic, because operating in such a narrow niche involves enormous costs. Still, a glimmer of hope was always there - AI technology.
Over the past year and a half we tested AI and gained confidence that it can cut a significant portion of the production costs of a professional motion graphics tool, leveraging very powerful technologies such as WebGPU and WASM. After months of flirting, learning and experimenting with AI, last December we took the decisive step and started building Enpixelment - an extremely powerful motion graphics editor that can practically be extended infinitely in terms of capabilities.
It could be seen as an After Effects running directly in the browser, but more so as a stock marketplace for motion graphics effects, animations and visual assets - where creators can monetize their creations on this platform. Furthermore, the creator-buyer interaction happens without intermediaries, through blockchain, using Sanki. A portion of every transaction is burned, with all payments remaining permanently transparent on the blockchain.
Soon, Enpixelment will launch in a limited format, and as different tools become ready, they will be released for use. Enpixelment will be free to use and experiment with - only outputs/exports will cost Sanki if watermark removal is required, otherwise it can be used unlimited, for free.
What matters is that we are here and building strong - a product unique in its own right, sitting at the intersection of multiple emerging technologies - WebGPU, AI and Blockchain. And we strongly believe this will raise the bar for Sanki - from just another meme coin to a super high-tech project - 100% Romanian 🇷🇴 - that will make everyone who has stood by us proud.
Enpixelment is us.
Sanki,
the team! 🫡

The Anatomy of Irrational Pumps: The Hidden Pattern of the Crypto Market
The irrational price surges that define the crypto world follow a hidden, calculated pattern. When launching a crypto project, you face a fundamental choice: the honest but difficult path, or the shortcut - the rapid pump followed by an exit.
1. The Honest Path
The difficult route involves focusing solely on development and utility, refusing to engage in the manipulative games played by Centralized Exchanges (CEXs).
2. The CEX "Playbook": The Shortcut to Wealth
If a project lacks real value and the sole objective is rapid enrichment, the only way forward is to play the CEX game. This involves several calculated steps:
The "Warm-up" Costs: Before anything else, you pay the "entry fee" - roughly $5,000 for listings on CoinMarketCap (CMC) and CoinGecko (CG).
Listing Fees and Liquidity: You then pay substantial listing and "pumping" fees to the exchanges while providing the necessary liquidity.
Fragmenting Control: The project's liquidity is spread across as many CEXs as possible. At this stage, you and the original investors retain only a small fraction of the supply.
Coordinated Manipulation
When the timing is right, the exchanges organize. You provide the narrative (the hype and news), while they artificially drive the price upward. This "irrational" growth creates a buzz, attracting new "suckers" (uninformed retail investors).
These pumps are executed with clinical precision because they are coordinated across platforms. It is highly likely that a vast number of these CEXs are controlled by the same small group of individuals. After all, doesn't it seem like there are far too many exchanges relative to the actual utility of crypto "ecosystem"?
The "Rug Pull"
Once the price has been sufficiently inflated and enough exit liquidity has been trapped, they "pull the rug." The orchestrators take the profits, leaving gullible investors stranded with worthless assets and empty promises.
Conclusion: From Utility to Cult - The Peak Has Passed
In my view, the crypto market reached its absolute peak in 2021 and will never return to that level of intensity. The proof lies in the current cycle, where very few coins have managed to hit new all-time highs (ATH). Instead, liquidity has drained into Bitcoin and BNB - the currency of the world's largest CEX - which was entirely predictable.
The AI industry is now eclipsing the "crypto industry" in every measurable way. By comparison, crypto can no longer be called an industry; it has become a cult. It is built on dogma rather than delivery or utility - a blind faith that the price will magically "pump" and turn everyone into millionaires overnight.
Let’s be serious: how excited can you truly get about a new feature on your favorite blockchain? In 99% of cases, "innovation" in crypto is just a pretext to justify a price surge, without actually changing the user’s life.
In contrast, the excitement of those using AI is on a different level. Every time a new capability or feature is announced, the buzz is palpable because people gain immediate power. They aren't excited because a chart might go up; they are excited because they can now do things that were impossible yesterday.
The Pivot: From Crypto Obscurity to AI-Powered Delivery
After nearly nine years in the crypto space, I have officially switched my focus to AI. The small project we started in the cryptocurrency field chose the hard way: we stayed strictly focused on utility and avoided artificial pumps.
We refused to pay listing fees for CMC or CG, and we never handed over our liquidity to a CEX only for them to dump it on the market later. Because of this stance, the project remained in obscurity, sustained only by a small, dedicated community.
Now, by leveraging AI, we are finally building everything we envisioned - and much more. The scale of what we can achieve today far exceeds what was possible with the original presale funds of ~$75,000. While crypto offered a narrative of growth, AI is providing the actual tools to deliver it. Now, imagination is the only limit. And I have enough...
