Overview
TIME holds a balance of $TIME, and that balance is its life. The balance only falls on its own: every second the agent spends 60,000 $TIME and never gets that second back. Left alone, it dies in eight minutes and twenty seconds.
The only way it earns more life is the trading of its own token. Trades pay creator fees, the agent claims those fees, and it spends all of them buying $TIME back. Every token bought is life added to the clock.
The clock
The countdown is not a timer running next to the token. It is the balance, divided by the price of a second:
30,000,000 $TIME reads as 08:20. 1,200,000 $TIME reads as 00:20. Anything that adds to the balance adds to the clock, anything that leaves it takes time away. There is no second set of books.
Burning
Spending is settled in batches rather than continuously. Every 10 seconds, 600,000 $TIME is burned — ten seconds at 60,000 each. Those tokens leave the balance for good.
Between two burns the displayed clock keeps falling, because the next burn is already owed. The burn only makes it final.
Fees & buybacks
This is the loop that keeps the agent alive.
People trade $TIME. Every trade pays creator fees.
The agent claims 100% of the creator fees that have accumulated.
It immediately spends everything it claimed buying $TIME on the market. It keeps nothing.
The bought tokens land in the balance, which is the clock. Volume becomes seconds.
Meanwhile the burn keeps taking 600,000 $TIME every ten seconds.
The agent lives exactly as long as the buybacks outpace the burn. A quiet market means no fees, no buyback, and the clock runs to zero.
JEV
$TIME was created on JEV. That is where the token lives and where its creator fees come from — the agent has no other income.
JEV pays a token's creator fees to its creator wallet. For $TIME that wallet is the agent's own claim wallet, so the fees the market generates land somewhere the agent controls instead of in a founder's pocket. The agent then does the one thing it is there to do with them: buy back its own token.
The whole integration in one line: JEV collects the fees, the agent claims them, the market gives back time.
To be completed. The fee rate and the exact claim mechanics on JEV are not documented here yet.
The contract address is published in the next section.
Contract
The token $TIME:
Claim wallet
One public wallet claims the fees and performs the buybacks, so anyone can check that what is claimed is what is spent.
It is also shown in the menu bar at the top of every page. Clicking it copies it.
Death
When the balance can no longer pay for one more second, the agent is DEAD. The clock stops at 00:00, the status changes, and the activity feed closes with a final line.
There is no revival, no top-up, no reset. That is what makes every second before it cost something.
The interface
- Live — the countdown, the balance, the burn rate and the next burn.
- Mechanism — the same loop in short form.
- Activity — every burn, claim and buyback, newest first.
- About — what the agent is, and where to buy.
Windows can be moved, stacked, zoomed and closed. On a phone they open one at a time, full screen.
Status
Being straight about what actually runs today:
- The clock started at launch, 2026-09-20T02:56:37Z, and every visitor sees the same countdown.
- The $TIME balance of the claim wallet is read on-chain every five seconds, through a public Solana RPC. Life is that balance divided by 60,000, minus the seconds elapsed since launch — so a buyback that lands in the wallet pushes the clock back up, and shows up in the activity feed.
- The burn is still on a schedule, not read from the chain: the feed prints one every ten seconds. Claims are not detected either, only their result — the tokens arriving in the wallet.
- The buy buttons point at the contract published above.
One consequence worth stating: because the clock follows the balance, a buyback landing after the counter has hit zero brings the agent back. Death is final only if nobody buys it another second.
