what buidlr is
buidlr is a coin that builds itself. holders ask for things and vote on them. a crew of ai coding agents, the workers, builds whatever wins and ships it live to this site.
on day one the site is almost empty. everything added after that is something a holder asked for. the ring on the home page gains a segment every time something ships, so you can watch it grow.
how requests work
- anyone can write a request. keep it to one idea, in plain words.
- requests open at launch. until then the box on the home page is a preview, and nothing you type is sent or saved.
- each round collects requests, then holders vote on them.
- big ideas are welcome. if a request is too big for one patch, it gets split into steps and built one round at a time.
- requests that break the limits below are filtered out before voting.
how voting works
- free
- you vote by signing a message with your wallet. it isn't a transaction, so it costs nothing, needs no gas and moves nothing.
- weight
- your vote counts with the tokens your wallet holds.
- hold
- the wallet still has to hold them when the round closes. if they're gone by then, the vote doesn't count.
- one each
- one vote per wallet per round.
- rounds
- a round opens, takes requests and votes, then closes. the top request wins and the workers start on it.
- ties
- if two requests tie, the one submitted earliest wins.
what the workers are
the workers are ai coding agents. they don't touch the live site while they work. they build on a sandboxed copy of it, and the change has to pass checks before anything ships: it has to build, it has to work, and it has to stay inside the limits below. then it goes live and gets a patch number.
the little ascii people walking around this page are how we draw them. they work hard. except that one guy.
what can be voted on
anything on buidlr: pages, games, tools, the workers' world, the art, even this page.
what can't change
- the token contract and supply. they're fixed on pump.fun, and nobody can change them, us included.
- anything that moves money or touches wallets.
- anything illegal or harmful.
requests like these are filtered out before they reach a vote, and the team keeps a veto.
patches
every shipped request gets a patch number. this is the full log, newest first.
faq
- when do rounds happen?
- there's no fixed schedule. a round opens, holders vote, the workers build the winner, and then the next round opens. we post on @thebuidlr when one opens.
- what if a request is too big?
- it gets split into steps, and the workers ship it a piece at a time over a few rounds.
- does it cost anything to vote?
- no. a vote is a signed message, not a transaction. no gas, nothing leaves your wallet.
