Editing: The Template

Editing costs 1,000,000 $TEMPLATE. The tokens are burned — destroyed on-chain, not sent anywhere. One burn buys one edit. Your change goes live for every reader immediately, and the version you replace is kept in the history.

No token mint configured. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_TOKEN_MINT in .env.local and restart the dev server before edits can be paid for.

**The Template** is the text you are reading, and it is the only thing here that nobody
paid for. It is a placeholder — a blank meme template with the outline already drawn in,
waiting for the first person to burn 1,000,000 $TEMPLATE and fill it in.

Everything on this page is replaceable. The title above, the box on the right, this
sentence. There is no account to make, no edit to approve, and nobody to ask. There is
one requirement and it is expensive.

## How to fill it in

1. Connect a Solana wallet holding at least 1,000,000 $TEMPLATE.
2. Press **Change this website**.
3. Sign the transaction. The tokens are destroyed — not sent to a treasury, not locked,
   not staked. Gone.
4. Write whatever you want. Text, images, tables, the infobox, the title.
5. It goes live instantly, for everyone currently looking at the page.

One burn buys one edit. Editing it back costs the same as editing it in the first place.

## What counts as a valid edit

Anything. That is the whole design and also the whole risk. The page is Markdown with a
short list of HTML tags allowed through for infoboxes, images and tables. Scripts are
stripped on the way in. Nothing else is.

The version you replace is not deleted — it moves to [View history](/history), stamped
with the wallet that paid to remove it and the transaction that funded the removal.
Every previous state of this page stays readable forever.

## Why it costs something

A blank page anyone can write on becomes garbage in about four minutes. A blank page
that costs 1,000,000 $TEMPLATE to write on becomes something people argue over.

The price is identical for everyone. There is no reputation, no seniority, and no appeal
— a first-time wallet and the person who wrote the previous version are charged exactly
the same, in a currency that gets scarcer every time either of them wins.

## Watching it change

The [ledger](/burns) streams every verified burn as it confirms: wallet, amount,
transaction, and whether that edit credit has been spent yet. The article itself is live.
If somebody rewrites this paragraph while you are reading it, the words under your cursor
will change.

## Notes

This is an experiment, not a product. It takes no fee, holds no custody, and makes no
promise that whatever ends up here will be true, accurate, or something you want to look
at. It is a blank template with a price tag.
