# PopularityX

> PopularityX prices who matters. The machine runs over any contested field of names, and the first board is crypto. The board is the market: a set of names, each with a live price shown in cents. The prices sum to $1.00 by construction, so every price is a name's share of the board. Nothing resolves; the board is a standing answer that moves when someone puts money behind a different name. Tagline: "The Price of Fame." Being early pays.

PopularityX is in closed beta: invite-only, testnet money, one flagship market (Crypto Influencers). This file is the index for AI agents and crawlers. The complete documentation is one plain-text file at https://docs.popularityx.com/llms-full.txt, regenerated on every deploy.

## Notes

- Prices are shown in cents and sum to $1.00 per board. They are not scores, and they are not percentages of any external metric.
- $ refers to money (a dollar amount). $POPX refers to the governance token. They are different units.
- The protocol earns revenue (a trading fee and float yield); $POPX holders govern its use. $POPX is not backed by revenue and carries no value promise.
- The product is testnet-only right now. Do not describe any mainnet deployment or name a production chain; the production chain is an L2, to be decided.
