Monday edition, built Saturday. Reviews Mon Oct 19 → Sat Oct 24 (6 UTC days) against the same six days of the prior week, Oct 12–17; the full Oct 12–18 week is shown alongside for reference. Solana volume $2.71M vs $3.31M (−18% like-for-like); $2.50M from ordinary wallets (−19%). Traders held: 8,744 vs 8,831 (−1%). The shape is Mon–Wed at $570–720K then a cliff: Thu $271K, Fri $320K, Sat $180K. Platform take $14.0K / 133 SOL (+11%) on less volume — take rate 0.52%, the cheap-tier volume is what left. Creator claims $14.4K to 134 claimers (+86% claimers, −22% dollars). Launches 140 (−83%): every farm wallet went quiet — 0 farm launches vs 566 — so for the first time every launch was organic, and organic is 112 creators (+14%) making 8 coins on Saturday. Outside: pump.fun's founder reposted a coin that rugged for $1.5M in 30 minutes (1,119-like refund thread; "never be @Pumpfun" 419); replies asked Finn to "save us from Alon". Inside: Domain Coins shipped Oct 19 (144 likes, 39.7K views, no on-chain dent — best post-launch hour $61K), BagsPay's web rail went behind a flag on Oct 19 (#565), and the receipt is on day 17. Eng: 189 human commits (−20%), alaa's terminal attribution turned on in production (#186), Domain Coins backend (#1388, #1386), GitOps gateway migration (sadj, 28), Finn's home-feed rewrite at +63.6K lines, open. Robinhood: 1.40 ETH ≈ $3.3K (−43%), 3 launches — the first in four weeks. X data: back.
Operating frame: Bags runs as a KPI-focused firm aimed at capturing trading volume through mobile and terminal products. Stats come prefilled; the meeting discusses why. This week's why: demand had a reason to switch and we had nothing dated to switch to. pump.fun's own-goal was Thu–Fri; our Thu–Sat was $271K / $320K / $180K and 12 / 12 / 8 launches. Traders didn't leave (−1%); builders did (−43% organic launches), and the one feature we shipped (Domain Coins) produced one good post and no chain activity.
Key stats, 6 days vs the same 6 days: Solana $2.71M (−18%), 8.7K traders (−1%), 40.0K trades (−16%), 140 launches (−83%) from 112 creators (−8%). Creator claims $14.4K / 134 claimers (−22% / +86%). Platform take $14.0K / 133 SOL (+11%) = DefiLlama public revenue $13.2K for the five days it has published, reconciled within 0.4%. Take rate 0.52% (from 0.38%). Full prior week for reference: $5.06M / 12.8K traders / 905 launches / $18.9K take — a Sunday meme did $1.75M of it. Robinhood 1.40 ETH ≈ $3.3K (−43%), 3 launches; vault 0. SOL $102 (−2%). Eng: 189 human commits (−20%), 13 human PRs merged, Linear closed 0. Headline: traders stayed, builders didn't, revenue per dollar went up, and the week's biggest event happened to a competitor.
Solana by day (excl. high-frequency wallets): $637K → $616K → $534K → $256K → $294K → $166K. Daily traders 2.9K → 3.1K → 2.6K → 1.5K → 1.5K → 1.2K. The Mon–Wed plateau was the French-Goku tail (Mon 00:00 UTC alone did $181K / 804 traders) plus $BAGSPAY; Thu onward is the real floor. $BAGSPAY was $527K / 4,882 trades / 1,588 makers — 19.5% of the week (daily $305K · 152K · 252K · 78K · 164K · 73K). Our floor session (session-H8WTvo3Z) was last seen Oct 17 restarted on five keeper wallets; fbmini has been unreachable from this laptop since Oct 20, so its state is unverified. The tape says: BAGSPAY's top-5 makers did $127K (24% of the coin), the top one 460 trades / $82K / 269 buys continuously Oct 19–24, and ≥200-trade wallets inside BAGSPAY did $136K. Assume up to a quarter of our #1 line is us until someone on fbmini says otherwise. Runners: POKEMON (Sep 15) $161K / 1,486 makers; SYMF (Oct 20) $63K / 447; LORIA $58K; SALVOR $38K. Coins launched this week: $267K (10%) across 133 mints. Launches: 0 farm wallets (24 → 0; brrr copy launcher, stockbond fleet, SpaceX lane all off), stock pairs 4 (from 166). Organic: 112 creators (+14%) launched 140 coins (−43%) — more people, one coin each. Sat Oct 24: 8 launches, 7 creators.
Robinhood: 1.40 ETH ≈ $3.3K over Oct 19–24 vs 2.45 ETH for Oct 12–17 (−43%); full prior week 11.11 ETH, of which 8.66 was the Sunday Oct 18 curve spike. By day: 0.30 → 0.33 → 0.06 → 0.17 → 0.32 → 0.22 ETH. Curve 0.57 / pool 0.84, 32 buys / 37 sells / 63 pool swaps. 3 launches on Fri Oct 23 — the first new coins on RH in four weeks; all-time 4,760. Fees (2%) ≈ 0.028 ETH ≈ $66, protocol half ≈ $33. Vault 0.0 ETH.
Domain Coins shipped (Oct 19) — launch a coin and route fees to any website; owners claim with a verified business email. Backend: Ramy's admin-managed fee-share config types (#1388, +1.65K) plus domain-feed cache and live-config fixes; Finn's domain token launch feed endpoint (#1386) and #1389 (domains on the feed, open). Post: 144 likes / 39.7K views, the best @BagsApp post in a month. Chain: nothing — the best hour after the post was $61K, and the brrr /domains lane's master wallet (CqtqtsZ…) still holds 0 SOL, so zero domain coins have been launched by us and no owner has claimed. BagsPay: the /pay route went behind a payPage flag on Oct 19 (#565, merged by Ramy from a Cursor branch) — the web rail is off while the community asks "where @bagspay" on day 17, and $BAGSPAY still traded $527K. Home feed: Finn's #560 is now +63,610 / −20,087 (ranked feed, app-store grid, x-style nav, dark social cards), updated Saturday, unmerged — the largest open front-end change in the org. Mobile: dan's #695 single-screen launch form (+17K) is five days old with no review; 1 mobile commit on main this week. #1372 x-bot worker: +32.2K, day 13. Terminal: attribution is now on in production — we can measure terminals; we still don't ship one. Relay: fourth week cold.
Terminal attribution went live. alaa shipped exact live block times from every Yellowstone connection's block meta (#183, +9.5K), a sealer that anchors chain time to the core connection, a Redis block-time resolver that never answers from the wall clock, boot-resume freshness guards, CODING_STANDARDS.md, a read-only ClickHouse helper, CI that fails on machine-local paths and stray slot-time constants (#185) — then #186 "turn on terminal attribution in production" on Saturday. 129 commits. GitOps: sadj moved bags.backend onto the Gateway API (ALB GatewayClass, controller 3.6.1, routes validated against ALB limits in chart CI), pinned backend releases by digest with consolidated CI (#1390/#1394), added a backend-v2 production overlay "off until go-live", a fee-bots Datadog dashboard, and opened #1396 (canary slot + /canary commands). Identity: username change endpoint with a 30-day hold on renamed names and race-safe signups (#1385); Apple web sign-in callback (#1384). V1 transactions: unbound-bags opened #1392/#1393 (launch flow + all builders opt-in, +3.1K; BAGS-502). RH subgraph: nils fixed v2 hook partner accrual (#8). Audit: BAGS-500/501 rpc-cache in review. Ops: fbmini unreachable from the laptop since Oct 20 (VPN, no Tailscale) — the MM session and 110.9 SOL of winddown wallets are unobserved.
Four items, all of which are the Mon–Fri post plan (docs/press/week-2026-10-26-posts.md) stated as ops. (1) Monday's receipt needs a number. Either the payPage flag goes back on and backend gives BagsPay-specific claim counts, or the post is the dated-pause version with the all-time figure ($10.30M / 17,739 claimers). Decide Sunday. (2) Tuesday's hackathon thread needs HATON confirmed paid — one yes/no from the team. (3) Wednesday's Domain Coins receipt needs 2–5 SOL in CqtqtsZ… so the /domains lane launches ten recognisable sites and one owner can claim; without that the post is a tease and we said no more teases. (4) The BAGSPAY floor session: wind it or label it before Monday. With organic at $170–300K/day, a house bot that may be a quarter of the #1 coin is the screenshot someone puts next to Alon's. Close with named owners and the Sunday decision on (1).
189 human commits on default branches in six days (235 in the prior seven, −20%; 176 on the same 14 repos, −25%), 18 PRs merged (13 by humans), Linear closed 0. Five humans plus one Cursor identity committed: alaabags 129, sadjbags 28, finnbags 15, ramyodev 14, cursoragent 2, danbagsfm 1. Mon–Tue and Friday carried it — Mon 42, Tue 43, Fri 52 — with Wednesday at 5. nilsbags: one subgraph PR, no commits on main. unbound-bags: two PRs opened, nothing merged.
Human commits on default branches, Oct 19 00:00 → Oct 25 00:17 UTC (deploy[bot], renovate, github-actions excluded; cursoragent kept and named). Prior week: alaabags 176, ramyodev 32, sadjbags 12, finnbags 11, danbagsfm 4 = 235. Linear: 0 closed, 5 created — BAGS-502 V1 transactions (nikola, in progress), BAGS-503 rank domain coins by traffic (unassigned), BAGS-500/501 rpc-cache audit (in review), BAGSOPS-88. Zero of this week's 189 commits closes a Linear issue.

Read: a go-live week for measurement (attribution) and plumbing (gateway, digests), a backend week for Domain Coins, and a switch-off for BagsPay's web page. User-visible on bags.fm: Domain Coins on the launch form, and /pay gone. alaabags + sadjbags = 157 of 189 (83%); Ramy fell 32 → 14 while #1372 sat in review. bagsapp, datapi, dev-portal, rh-index-coins, dividend-bot: 0 commits each.
The queue didn't move: #1372 grew again (+31.3K → +32.2K), #560 went +7K → +63.6K / −20.1K with a Saturday push, and dan's mobile launch form (#695, +17K) has had no review in five days. New this week: unbound-bags' V1-transactions pair (#1392/#1393), sadj's canary (#1396), Finn's #1389. The three biggest open PRs in the org total 113K added lines and none has a reviewer assigned in the data.
| PR | Scope | Owner | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HOT | twitter-claim #560 — ranked home feed, app-store grid, x-style nav, dark social cards | +63,610 / −20,087, opened Oct 14, pushed Sat Oct 24. The whole home page. It is also the surface for the "FIRST launch" badge the last two decks asked for and for a Domain Coins rail. At this size it merges as a cutover, not a review — needs a date and a feature flag. | finnbags | open · 10d |
| HOT | backend #1372 — x-bot command worker | +32,197 (was +31,326), updated Thu Oct 23. Day 13. Last deck asked for a scope freeze and a second reviewer; it grew 900 lines instead. #561 (x-bot settings, campaign page) is blocked on it. | ramyodev | open · 13d |
| HOT | bagsapp #695 — single-screen launch form with domain fee sharing | +17,034 / −4,052, opened Oct 19, updated Oct 20, no review since. Mobile's Domain Coins. With #694 (deep links, remote uploads, Helius paging) it is the only mobile work in flight; main had 0 mobile commits. | danbagsfm | open · 5d |
| HOT | backend #1392 + #1393 — opt-in V1 transactions (launch flow, then all builders) | +1,311 and +1,824, opened Thu Oct 23. The first PRs that map to a Linear issue this week (BAGS-502, nikola, in progress). Small, reviewable, and the kind of thing that should merge inside a week. | unbound-bags | open · 1d |
| HOT | backend #1396 canary slot · #1389 domains on the feed · #1383 quote funding in a bundle · twitter-claim #564 Apple web | Canary slot + /canary commands (sadj, Sat, +683) closes the loop on the digest-pinned deploys. #1389 (+54) and #564 (+79) are an hour of review each. #1383 (Ramy, Oct 18) enables stock-pair launches funding their quote in-bundle — idle a week. | sadjbags · finnbags · ramyodev · danbagsfm | open |
| COLD | twitter-claim #541 · backend #1340 · bagsapp #690 — Relay cross-chain | +36K across three PRs. No commit or comment for a fourth week. Three decks have said "date or close". | danbagsfm | idle 27d |
| STALE | 8 PRs over 2 months old — oldest bagsapp #602 (Jul 2025) | bagsapp #602/#609/#618/#648/#649/#661/#671/#675, wallet-verify #2 (Jul), backend #1182 gacha (Aug), #1259 wallet verify (Sep), twitter-claim #525/#526 (Sep). Unchanged since the last hygiene flag. | various | 2–15 mo |
indexer (4 + 2 releases): #186 attribution on in prod · #185 guardrails · #183 exact live block times (+9.5K) · #180 attribution (merged 00:xx UTC Mon, counted last week). backend (7 + 3 releases): #1388 fee-share config types · #1386 domain launch feed · #1385 username change · #1384 Apple web · #1390 digest pins + CI · #1394 gateway routes. twitter-claim: #565/#566 disable /pay. rh-subgraph #8. By author: ramyodev 4, alaabags 4, sadjbags 2, finnbags 1, danbagsfm 1, nilsbags 1; 5 release-bot PRs.
113K open lines across three PRs with no reviewer, and the only front-end change that merged was a switch-off. Sequence this week, same as last week's but with dates: #1392/#1393 (small, Linear-tracked) first → #695 gets a reviewer by Tuesday → #1372 freezes at +32.2K and alaa or unbound-bags reviews it → #560 gets a flag and a cutover date rather than a review. Relay: close the three PRs on Monday unless someone names a week. A +63K PR from the CEO that nobody can review is the bus-factor problem wearing a different hat.
Default-branch commits only; 15 repos this run (bags.holdings added — 13 commits, all finnbags, all press/brand/weekly). twitter-claim fell 18 → 1 because Finn's work moved into the unmerged #560. automations 12 → 19 is the Gateway API migration. rh-index-coins 7 → 0.
Zero closes in six days against 189 commits and 13 merged PRs. The 5 created: BAGS-502 (V1 transactions — the one issue that maps to this week's PRs), BAGS-503 (rank domain coins by web traffic + Bags clicks — a good idea, unassigned), BAGS-500/501 (rpc-cache audit, in review), BAGSOPS-88. BAGS backlog 118 (14 High, 0 Urgent). No Linear issue exists for terminal attribution going live, Domain Coins as a product, the home-feed rewrite, switching BagsPay's web page off, or the Gateway API migration. The stock-pair cluster (BAGS-434/436/426/412, High) is six weeks untouched and the lane that used it is off. Planning layer: still a diary nobody writes in.
Solana did $2.71M vs $3.31M for Oct 12–17 (−18%); excluding high-frequency wallets $2.50M vs $3.08M (−19%). Unique traders 8,744 vs 8,831 — the people are still here; they traded less. Mon–Wed ($723K / $651K / $566K) was the French-Goku tail plus $BAGSPAY; from Thursday the tape is what Bags does with no meme and no engine: $256–294K of ordinary-wallet volume, then $166K on Saturday. That is the pre-$BAGSPAY baseline from September. The full Oct 12–18 week was $5.06M only because Sunday did $1.75M; this deck doesn't have its Sunday yet. Robinhood: 1.40 ETH ≈ $3.3K (−43%), 3 launches.
$BAGSPAY has been the #1 volume line since Oct 12 — $1.0M last week, $527K / 4,882 trades / 1,588 makers this week, daily $305K → $152K → $252K → $78K → $164K → $73K. Our floor session (session-H8WTvo3Z, master CZpyoMR9…) was funded with ~116 SOL on Oct 16, paused Oct 17 after churning ~1,500 SOL each way for a flat price, consolidated to five keeper wallets (~4 SOL) and restarted that evening. Nobody has looked at it since Oct 20 — fbmini is unreachable from this laptop on the VPN. What the tape shows: the top maker on $BAGSPAY did 460 trades / $82K with a 58% buy bias, every day Oct 19–24; the top five did $127K (24% of the coin); ≥200-trade wallets did $136K. Working assumption: a fifth to a quarter of our #1 coin, ≈5% of the week, is a house bot. Ordinary-wallet $BAGSPAY is still real — 1,588 makers — but the deck's top line should be read as $2.57–2.60M organic. The honest fix is the kill call on the agenda; the honest measurement is a house-wallet filter in the datapi tables, which the PnL leaderboard also needs.
Creators: 53 → 18 → 17 → 12 → 11 → 7. Farm wallets (≥20 launches/week): 24 last week, 0 this week — brrr's copy launcher, the stockbond fleet and the SpaceX-quoted lane are all off, stock pairs 166 → 4. So for the first time the launch count is purely organic: 112 creators (+14% vs 98) launched 140 coins (−43% vs 245). More people launched; each launched once and left. Monday's 53 creators were the Sunday meme's tail. Domain Coins went live Monday and the launch count fell every day after. New coins this week did $267K across 133 mints — 10% of volume, 2K per coin. Saturday: 8 launches, 7 creators, $180K. The SolCommunityy league table that put Bags #7 at $289K of 7-day curve volume is going to get worse before Monday. Take-rate reconciliation by day, ours / DefiLlama: $4.0K/$4.0K · $3.7K/$3.7K · $2.9K/$2.9K · $1.1K/$1.2K · $1.4K/$1.4K.
Net read: best sentiment setup in a month — a competitor's founder got graded on what he amplified, the market started scoring founders on conduct, and Finn's no-CA rule is exactly that contrast — and we had nothing dated to convert it with. Traders didn't leave (−1%); they're waiting for the receipt everyone keeps asking for. Builders did leave (8 launches Saturday), and the hackathon grievance is the reason they give.
The post plan for the week is already drafted (docs/press/week-2026-10-26-posts.md: Mon receipt · Tue hackathon debt · Wed Domain Coins first owner claim · Thu creator spotlight · Fri Bags Friday #1). Every item below is the operational pre-requisite that turns one of those drafts from a tease into a receipt. Ranked by what Monday 9:00 AM PT needs first.
Day 17. #565 put /pay behind a flag on Oct 19 while $BAGSPAY did $527K and the replies asked where it is. Monday's draft has two versions: A — "BagsPay is live … [N] creators have claimed [X] SOL through BagsPay" (needs the flag back on and a BagsPay-specific count from backend, Ramy), or B — "BagsPay web ships [DATE] … all-time $10.3M claimed by 17,739 creators, 342,214 claims, on chain" (needs only a date). Either way Finn's 9:30 line is "I don't post CAs. I post payouts." — the conduct contrast the pump.fun week wrote for us. Decision owner: Finn, Sunday. Ramy: the count or the date by Sunday night.
session-H8WTvo3Z was funded Oct 16, paused Oct 17 for churning ~1,500 SOL each way at a flat price, restarted on five keepers, and has been unobserved since Oct 20. The tape says up to a quarter of our #1 coin and ≈5% of the week may be us, on a week when organic is $170–300K a day. That is the screenshot someone puts next to Alon's repost. Stop it (floor.sh stop session-H8WTvo3Z on fbmini, sweep the five keepers to master), log the realised PnL, and add a house-wallet filter to the datapi tables so next week's deck and the PnL leaderboard both exclude it by construction. The 110.9 SOL of RDSTR winddown wallets on the same box is still awaiting Finn's "sweep". Owner: Bond (needs fbmini reachable — drop the VPN or install Tailscale) + Finn's go.
Product shipped Monday; backend shipped Thursday (#1388, #1386); the brrr.trade /domains lane (Product Hunt stream, 100% fees to the site owner, 48/day) is built and enabled — and its master CqtqtsZ… has 0 SOL, so it has launched zero coins ever. Wednesday's draft is "[domain.com] just claimed [X] SOL in fees on Bags. They didn't launch the coin. The internet did." That post needs ≈0.04 SOL × 10 launches plus a real claim through the verified-email flow. Finn funds the master Sunday; the lane launches ten recognisable domains Mon–Tue; Bond chases one owner (a site that already has a Bags-adjacent audience) to claim. If no owner claims by Wednesday, the post waits — no more teases. BAGS-503 (rank domain coins by traffic) is the right follow-on; assign it.
Carried from three decks, now with the grievance upgraded from "unpaid" to "Bags rewards extractors" and Saturday at 7 creators. Tuesday's draft is the honest status — 1,444 teams, 26 winners paid, three alumni at Colosseum (Chinchilla, HATON, Vault), a follow-back for every team that shipped, and the rule "no new bounty while a claim is open." It can't go out until someone confirms the HATON claim is settled. Owner: stu/ops for the yes-no by Monday; Finn posts Tuesday. Then the two-week launch-back rebate for hackathon creators the Oct 19 deck proposed — measured by organic creators back above 150 and claims above $25K.
Friday 9:00 AM PT, Finn posts the numbers — platform take, creator claims and claimers, organic launches and creators, top payout — from the automated 7:00 AM pull, every week, same time. It is the institution the SOTU doctrine promised and the cheapest accountability asset we have; it also forces agenda item 2, because the numbers can't include a house bot. On eng: merge unbound-bags' #1392/#1393 first (small, Linear-tracked), give dan's #695 a reviewer by Tuesday, freeze #1372 at +32.2K with alaa or unbound-bags reviewing, and put #560 behind a flag with a cutover date instead of waiting for a 63K-line review. Relay (#541/#1340/#690): close Monday unless someone names a merge week — four decks is enough.
Exists: BAGS-502 V1 transactions (in progress, matches #1392/#1393) · BAGS-503 rank domain coins by traffic (backlog, unassigned — assign to agenda 3) · BAGS-434/436/426/412 stock pairs (High, 6 weeks untouched, lane off — close or re-date). Does not exist: BagsPay web re-enable + date · house-wallet filter in datapi (house_wallets table + exclusion in bags_trade_feed consumers and the PnL leaderboard) · Domain Coins first-owner-claim ops · hackathon claims audit + alumni thread · Bags Friday numbers automation (already a cron, b0c03e32; deserves an issue so someone else can own it) · "FIRST launch" badge on the ranked feed (#560) · terminal attribution go-live retro (what the first week of production data shows).
Mirrors docs/press/week-2026-10-26-posts.md — drafts exist for every line; a reminder DM lands at 8:00 AM PT with the day's copy and the Friday numbers pull is automated at 7:00. Rules: receipts only; never name pump or Alon; @finnbags never posts a CA; a post that depends on an op that didn't happen gets held, not softened. Every post here is a plan; Finn approves each one.
Cadence rule: MON (receipt) and FRI (Bags Friday) are non-negotiable; TUE and WED go out only if their op happened. A held post is a plan that failed quietly; a softened post is a tease. Tease-to-receipt gap: never 17 days again.
Goal: $100M cumulative protocol revenue. Banked all-time: $32.24M (DefiLlama, Solana basis; Robinhood revenue is additive and not included). That's 32.2%. This week's five published days added $13.2K; the on-chain take for six days is $14.0K and matches DefiLlama within 0.4%, so the number is trustworthy. The Q4 target needs ~$2.5M a week with nine and a half weeks left; this week ran at ~$16K annualised-to-seven-days. The one number that improved — take rate 0.52% — improved because the cheap volume left, not because more money arrived.
| Milestone | Cumulative revenue | Increment | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today (Sat Oct 24) MEASURED | $32.24M | +$13.2K Oct 19–23 (Solana public, 5 of 6 days) | 32.2% of goal |
| True incl. RH EST | $32.24M + RH (not re-summed this run) | +≈$33 RH protocol half (6d) | DefiLlama can't see RH — BAGS-492 still unverified |
| End of Q3'26 (Sep 30) TARGET | $36M | — | Missed: closed at ~$32.1M |
| End of Q4'26 TARGET | $61M | +$28.8M | needs ~$2.5M/wk · doing ~$16K/wk |
| $100M GOAL | $100M | +$67.8M | Needs a floor, a receipt and a bot-free tape |
Basis: DefiLlama protocol revenue, Solana (all-time $32.24M, fees $64.49M; Oct 19–23 $13.2K revenue / $26.5K fees; 30d $161.6K). The honest read: the measurement chasm is $33 this week — RH is 0.25% of take — so it's structural, not material; the material measurement problem is the opposite one: our own bot inside the Solana number, which DefiLlama counts as revenue because it is (we pay ourselves fees on our own churn). Milestone unchanged: $1M/day of ordinary-wallet volume that survives a weekend. This week's best day was $637K and it was Sunday's tail; the Thu–Sat floor is $166–294K, ≈$8–10K/week of revenue at 0.5%. The Q4 target needs 250× that. The week the market shopped for the anti-pump, that was the floor we offered it.
bags_trade_feed, UTC days, excluding wallets with ≥200 trades in the two-week window (this still includes any house wallet under 200 trades). Including them: Mon 19 = $723K and the six days = $2.71M. Grey = the prior week; red = days at or below the pre-$BAGSPAY baseline. Sun 25 not yet in.
On-chain window scan, chain 4663, exact UTC days Oct 19 → Oct 24 (cache refreshed block 92.95M → 97.17M, +3 tokens, 4,760 all-time). Six days = 1.40 ETH ≈ $3.3K, 3 launches (Fri), vs 2.45 ETH / 0 launches for Oct 12–17 (−43%). Faded = the prior week; scale is Sun 18's 8.66 ETH.
