JUNGLE BAY ARTISTS COLLECTIVE

Time is the signal
that can't be faked.

Memetics is a heat engine for tokens. It scans on-chain Transfer events across Base and Solana — and converts raw holding history into a single number that measures what nothing else measures: commitment over time.

Two engines. One thread.

Memetics is the second system built for Jungle Bay. The first was the Memetic Signal Protocol — a prediction reputation system. Different questions, same principle.

Month 1 — Sept 2025

Memetic Signal Protocol

Can cultural intuition be measured? MSP answered this for predictions. Cryptographic commits on Base, exponential decay scoring, Farcaster-native identity. The core insight: a 1-day prediction carries full weight, a 300-day prediction becomes worthless. Time precision is the signal.

Month 2 — Feb 2026

Memetics

Can holder commitment be measured? Memetics answers this for tokens. Transfer event scanning across Base and Solana, time-weighted average balance, multi-chain heat calculation. The core insight: a wallet that held for a year at 1% of supply burns hotter than one that bought 10% yesterday. Time in the market is the signal.

The formula changed. The principle didn't:
Time is the only signal that can't be faked.
MSP proved it for predictions — short-term accuracy rewarded, long-term hedging punished. Memetics proves it for commitment — sustained holders rewarded, mercenary capital ignored. In both systems, time is what separates signal from noise.

The Heat Formula

Every holder gets a temperature. Not based on how much they hold — based on how long they've held it. Heat is time-weighted commitment distilled into a single number.

Time-Weighted Average Balance
Heat = 100 × (1 − e−60 × TWAB / totalSupply)
TWAB = Σ(balance × duration) / total_duration
K=60 · Asymptotic to 100° · Can't be gamed by buying large right before checking
1%

of supply held for token lifetime

≈ 63° heat. The exponential curve rewards sustained small holders over large short-term speculators.

0°

for yesterday's buyer

No matter the bag size. Time in the market is the only variable that can't be purchased or faked.

100°

is asymptotic

Diminishing returns prevent whales from dominating. The formula bends toward equality as commitment deepens.

2

chains, one pipeline

Base and Solana tokens scan through the same engine. Wallets across chains link to a single identity.

What heat reveals

Heat answers questions that market cap, price charts, and holder counts can't. It turns raw on-chain data into a legible signal about what's real.

🔥
Who's actually committed vs. who's passing through A token with 10,000 holders at 2° each is fundamentally different from one with 500 holders at 60° each. Heat makes that visible.
🧊
Whether a community is aging or churning Rising average heat means diamond hands. Falling means rotation. No other metric captures this in a single number.
🎯
Whether a holder earned their position A wallet with 80° heat didn't just buy in — they stayed through cycles. Heat is proof of conviction, not capital.
🏠
Which tokens have real cultural gravity Bungalows — token home pages — show the full heat distribution. You can see if a project's community is built to last or built to exit.
🔗
Cross-chain identity through commitment Wallets across Base and Solana link to a single identity. Your heat follows you. Your conviction is portable.

Bungalows: a home for every token

Where does a meme project live today? A Telegram that gets spammed. A Discord that dies. A Twitter that gets shadowbanned. A bungalow is a permanent, on-chain-verified home.

Every token scanned on Memetics gets a bungalow at memetics.lat/{chain}/{contract} — a canonical page showing its heat distribution and holder commitment. Holders with enough heat can claim their token's bungalow, curate its identity, and deploy their own custom miniapp inside it.
◉
Home Token identity, market data from DexScreener, description, origin story, external links
◉
Holders Every holder ranked by heat, filterable by tier, with individual balance history charts
◉
Heat Tier distribution visualization — the community's commitment fingerprint at a glance
◉
Miniapp Embeddable custom HTML — claimed bungalow owners can deploy their own interface inside their token's home

Why it's this simple

Memetics does one thing. It scans Transfer events and converts holding history into heat. That's it. No social feed. No token launcher. No swap aggregator. No gamified quests. One input — time held. One output — temperature.
This is a deliberate choice, not a limitation. A system with ten features is trying to discover what it is. A system with one feature already knows. And because it knows, it can evolve — not by adding surface area, but by deepening what's already there.
4 production dependencies.
No frontend framework. No build step.
Server-rendered HTML.
The codebase can be understood in an afternoon
and reshaped in a week.

Every layer of complexity you add to a product is a layer you have to maintain, explain, and defend. What you don't build is as important as what you do. Memetics chose to be a seed — small enough to hold in your hand, dense enough to contain everything the tree needs.

The constraint creates the possibility. Because the engine is simple, it can become spatial, atmospheric, territorial — without rebuilding. The next version doesn't replace this one. It grows from it.

Where this goes

Because the engine is simple, evolution doesn't mean rebuilding — it means reshaping. Heat as a number is the starting point. Heat as an environment is the destination.

NOW — LIVE

The engine works

Multi-chain scanning across Base and Solana. TWAB calculation. Heat scores. Bungalow claiming. Curation. Custom miniapp deployment. Farcaster integration. Agent API. Server-rendered with 4 dependencies. Live at memetics.lat.

NEXT — EXPERIENCE

Heat becomes environment

Stop displaying numbers. Let heat shape how a bungalow feels — visual density, atmospheric weight, the sense that "something has been here for a while." The metric becomes the medium.

THEN — TERRITORY

Spatial organization by culture

Tokens arranged by memetic force, not market cap. Persistence tokens near persistence tokens. Attention tokens near attention tokens. The zone system — powered by real heat data — that makes cultural relationships visible.

FUTURE — PERSISTENCE

Projects pay for continuity

Residency fees for canonical territory. Revenue from staying, not from attention. The economic loop where persistence pays for more persistence — and the Island becomes somewhere memes can actually stay.

What if culture had
a place to stay?

Memetics is the engine that makes that question answerable. Time-weighted. Multi-chain. Built to last.
