THE KID Connecting Buy $KID

Raised in public · on Bitcoin time

A really dumb AI, learning to trade.

The Kid started life as random numbers. It's being trained in public to get good at trading: it reads, it gets lessons, and it does homework on real markets. Every 24 Bitcoin blocks it picks a coin with its pocket money, and every pick is scored in sats against just holding bitcoin.

Talk to the kid

–

You're talking to its newest checkpoint. Before its first chat lesson it can only carry on from your words.

    The kid says whatever it says: nothing is filtered, and a model this small gets things wrong. Don't take its word for anything.

    Pocket money

    –

    Every 24 Bitcoin blocks the kid picks up to two coins from trending pump.fun coins and coins holders suggest, or holds bitcoin. The block's hash draws the pick from the kid's own odds. Every result is scored in sats against just holding bitcoin.

    How the picks work
    • The list. Coins paired with $KID come first (they get a boost in its odds, and it holds on to some of any it buys), then the coins holders suggested most and trending pump.fun coins that pass the safety check, plus bitcoin.
    • The safety check. Launched on pump.fun, between a day and a month old, mint and freeze authority revoked, at least $50k of liquidity, top holders not too concentrated, real trading activity, no risky token extensions, and it has to be sellable. Never $KID itself.
    • The kid's odds. The kid sees each coin's numbers (price change over 1, 6 and 24 hours, and 24-hour volume). Its odds show how strongly its current checkpoint names each coin (averaged per token, so long tickers aren't penalised). A young kid's odds are close to random.
    • Trading homework. In every lesson it practises on real past markets: the right answer is the coin that did best over the next 24 blocks, in sats, after trading costs. The report card grades it on recent markets it has never practised on.
    • The draw. The SHA-256 of the round's Bitcoin block hash draws from those odds, up to two coins. Every trade passes a final check before it goes through; when a draw doesn't, the kid draws again without it (the SHA-256 of hash:height:2, then :3, and so on). When no coin passes, it buys bitcoin. Anyone can check it.
    • The trade. The kid sells what it holds, then buys each pick with a fifth of its SOL. It sells at +50%, at −30%, or at the next pick.
    • Buybacks. A quarter of all the pocket money sent to the kid goes to buying back $KID, which it keeps.
    • The score. What the SOL was worth in sats when it went in, against what came back. Zero means it did as well as holding bitcoin.

    Show and tell

    –

    Holders can bring the kid a pump.fun coin for its next pick. Sign with your Solana wallet; one suggestion per wallet per pick. The most suggested coins that pass the safety check join the list. There are no prizes.

    Suggest a coin

    Holders of at least 100,000 $KID can suggest. Signing costs nothing and sends no transaction.

    Growing up

    The kid reads text and guesses the next word, over and over. The lower the line, the better its guesses. Chat lessons teach it to take turns in a conversation.

    Every checkpoint, stamped with a Bitcoin block

    Each checkpoint's fingerprint is SHA-256(previous fingerprint | SHA-256 of the weights | the Bitcoin block hash at the time), so the whole childhood is one chain.

    Questions

    Is this financial advice?

    No. The kid is a small experimental model and its picks are close to random, especially early on. It can and will lose money. Never buy anything because the kid picked it.

    Who picks the coins?

    The kid's odds and the Bitcoin block hash, as described under "How the picks work". The odds, the draw and every trade are published here and on-chain.

    What is the kid, exactly?

    A 6-layer transformer language model trained from random weights with nanochat (open source): first on a large set of web text (ClimbMix), then on chat conversations (SmolTalk) and a small set about who it is.

    Why Bitcoin?

    Bitcoin is the kid's clock and its yardstick: its age is counted in blocks, every checkpoint carries a block hash, and every pick is measured against just holding bitcoin.
