A shared window

GLASS

One million cells of stained glass. One hand at a time.

A single canvas, a thousand pixels wide and a thousand tall. Everyone is given fifteen pixels an hour. What you paint, another may cover.

This is not a picture of the canvas. It is the canvas. Tap it to paint.

I — IV

The Chronicle

Every window has a story told in its glass. This one is also, read carefully, the rulebook.

I

The Void

In the beginning the plane was dark, and one million cells lay unlit. It was empty in the way glass is empty before light is put behind it.

II

The First Hand

The first pixel is laid without ceremony. It will be covered. Neither hand is recorded, and this is proper. Nothing here is permanent, and everything here counts.

III

The Rationing of Light

A hand which may paint without limit paints alone. So the light is rationed. Fifteen cells an hour, to every hand that arrives, asking nothing and owing nothing. Scarcity is the work.

IV

The Quadrants

Where hands are many and cells are few, hands gather. Borders are agreed, then broken. None of this is designed. All of it is inevitable.

The law of the glass

The Canon

Fifteen an hour, to anyone

Open the canvas and fifteen pixels are already yours. No wallet, no account, no email. Ink refills continuously, one cell roughly every four minutes, up to fifteen.

Nothing is permanent

Any cell may be covered by any hand, including yours. There is no ownership of a coordinate. There is only what is currently there.

The plane stays off-chain

The canvas lives in memory and on disk, not on a blockchain. Writing a million cells on-chain would be slow, expensive and pointless.

Holding will buy light, not the window

$GLASS will be struck later, on Solana, once this window is already being painted. Holding will raise hourly ink through a hard ceiling of one hundred. It will never be required to paint.

Some glass will be removed

Hate symbols, sexual content involving minors, doxxing and calls to violence are erased on sight. This is not moderation of taste. Everything else stays.

$GLASS · Solana

The Token

Reserved. Not yet struck. The window is being lit first.

$GLASS will exist to answer one question: how does someone who wants to give more to this window get more light out of it?

The ticker is reserved. The chain will be Solana. There is no contract address yet, because unknown hands should already be at the glass before anyone is asked to hold anything.

  • No presale, no whitelist, no reserved team allocation.
  • Holding will never be required to paint.
  • Ink for holders will be sublinear, with a hard ceiling of one hundred cells an hour.
  • $GLASS is a memecoin attached to a drawing game. It is not an investment. It may go to zero.

The order of the work

The Roadmap

I

The Lighting

Now

The canvas is open: 1,000 × 1,000, sixteen colours, fifteen pixels an hour, no account. Reporting is live.

II

The Strike

Next

$GLASS is struck on Solana when unknown hands are already at the glass. The contract address will be published here and on X first.

III

The Memory

Later

Timelapse, coordinate links, and postcards of a region. Guilds and feast days only after the window holds.

Nothing on this list is a promise of value or a date. It is the order of the work.

Anything not listed here is not us. When a new channel opens it is announced on X first.

The only website is glassonchain.art. The only contract address will be the one published on this page. Any other domain or address claiming to be $GLASS is a fake.
