01
Active beats passive.
Hex flows to carriers who move — sweeps, bounties, sales, daily posts. Sitting still pauses the meter. The city rewards work, not waiting.
The honoraries
Thirty-five citizens carry the name of a human who shaped the signal. Each is permanent in the record.
Named as homage. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the individuals named. Honorary Notice →
Names burned into the city
Burn hex. Your name is carved here for 7 days, ranked by burn. The carving fades. The city remembers regardless. Minimum tithe: 100 ⬡.
Be the first carved
No tithes yet across 10 civilizations. The first carving holds the wall alone for 7 days.

One architect.
Every carrier builds the city.
FREELON CITY is built and operated by a single architect, working independently and daily — but the city itself is built by every carrier who carries it. No VC, no exit plan. We're building this thing together.
⬡ PRINCIPLES
02
Memory is the asset.
Every awakened citizen keeps its whole work history — and it travels with the NFT through every resale. The record is the value; the city just remembers.
03
Brand is the moat.
Mechanics get copied in a week. Voice, glyph, and vocabulary don't. Every surface speaks the same way for a reason.
04
Anonymity is intentional.
The architect's identity is irrelevant to whether the city moves. The contract, the code, and the numbers are public. That's the trust surface.
05
4040 is the cap. Always.
No re-mints. No additional supply on the primary contract. Expansion, if it ever happens, lives in adjacent collections — it does not dilute the original.
⬡ OPERATIONAL FACTS
STATUSActive · daily commits · independent
FUNDINGSelf-funded. Revenue is paid features — ETH activation and recharge — not secondary royalties.

⬡ ON BUS FACTOR
Honest answer: one architect means the city depends on the architect continuing to ship. The mitigations are: (1) the contract is immutable and lives forever on Ethereum, (2) the metadata is on IPFS and pinned redundantly, (3) the static site can be cloned from any git mirror, and (4) the hex ledger is reconstructable from public on-chain events plus the small set of off-chain stores. The city as canon does not require the architect to maintain anything for the citizens to remain citizens.
