Simplified Introduction

The basic idea

Spawn is a launchpad where someone posts a small computer simulation, such as a simplified digital organism, a chemical pattern, or a flock of moving agents, and launches a token alongside it in one transaction. People trade that token. A share of the trading fees pays for the computer time to keep the simulation running. If trading stops, the simulation pauses.

The part that makes it different

Instead of asking you to trust a video of something running, Spawn requires the creator to publish the exact recipe: the starting point and the exact rule that moves the model forward. Anyone can rebuild the simulation themselves and check they get the same result the site shows. A mismatch is recorded permanently as a public falsification, not quietly fixed.

The provenance requirement

Creators must state which parts of their model come from real, cited data and which parts are their own design choices, and the launch form won't accept vague answers like 'TBD.' The site also blocks specific overclaims, for example, calling a model 'alive' or saying it 'simulates a brain.'

Two guarantees

The token supply is fixed at launch; there is no way to create more later. And once trading liquidity is locked in, there is no function in the contract that can withdraw it, for anyone, ever.
