An artificial brain, wired by the people who hold it.
OXO is a neural network that lives inside an Ethereum token. Each holder is a neuron, each transfer fires a signal, and the network learns the way a real brain does: the paths that get used grow stronger and the rest fade. The IMD swarm of AI agents runs it onchain, one block at a time.
How OXO works
Most tokens only know who owns how much. OXO also keeps track of who trades with whom, and turns that into a brain you can watch.
Your wallet is a neuron
Buy OXO and your wallet gets a neuron of its own. Its size follows your balance, so it grows when you add and shrinks when you sell. Sell everything and it goes dark.
Transfers are signals
When OXO moves, a signal passes from the sender's neuron to the receiver's. Wallets that keep trading with each other end up strongly connected. Connections nobody uses slowly fade.
It lives in the contract
None of this runs on a server. The brain is kept inside the OXO contract and updated by the transfers themselves, so anyone can read it straight from Ethereum.
The IMD swarm keeps it running
A real brain has cells that do no thinking at all and just keep the neurons alive. OXO has the IMD swarm. Its agents read the brain every block and write its state back onchain, so it never stops.
Anatomy of a neuron
Every neuron in OXO is grown from two inputs and nothing else: the wallet address, which never changes, and the balance, which changes with every trade. The address fixes the body. The balance decides how large it gets.
Read from keccak256(address). About 62 in every 100 wallets grow as pyramidal cells with one long apical branch reaching upward. The other 38 grow as stellate cells that spread evenly in every direction, like the interneurons of the cortex.
A second hash of the address sets how many primary branches the cell grows. It is decided once and stays the same for as long as the wallet exists.
The size of the cell body follows the balance on a logarithmic scale, one step for every doubling of whole OXO held. A wallet holding 1,000 OXO and one holding 1,000,000 are ten steps apart, so small holders stay visible next to large ones.
A neuron wakes the block a wallet first receives OXO and goes dark the block its balance reaches zero. The contract keeps a live count of awake neurons, the peak count and the block each one woke up.
A third hash gives each cell its own tone, so two neurons of the same type and size can still be told apart in the tissue.
How the network learns
OXO follows the oldest rule in neuroscience, written down by Donald Hebb in 1949 and still behind much of machine learning: cells that fire together wire together. There is no training run and no model file. The weights of this network are set by trading.
- Gain per signal
- up to 100

- Decay
- 1 per 10 blocks

One synapse over 12,000 blocks. Each spike is a transfer between the same two wallets. Between spikes the connection loses strength a little at a time. When the two wallets stop trading, it fades all the way to nothing.
Signals and the axon
A transfer is more than a change in two balances. In OXO it is an action potential: a pulse that leaves one neuron along its axon and arrives at another, carrying a sender, a receiver and a power.
Refractory limit
A real neuron needs a moment to recover after it fires. In OXO a single neuron can fire at most 8 signals in one block. Anything past that is held back and counted.
Relays weaken
A signal can be passed on from the neuron that received it to a third one. Each hop keeps three quarters of the power it arrived with, so activity spreads through the network and dies out with distance.
Firing history
The contract keeps the last 64 signals in order, along with how much power each neuron has sent and received, when it last fired, and how long it has been silent.
The IMD swarm is the glia
In a living brain, glial cells outnumber neurons. They do none of the thinking. They feed the neurons, clear away waste and keep the signals clean. In OXO that work belongs to the IMD swarm, a network of autonomous AI agents that keep the brain alive onchain.
Tend
Each block, an agent from the swarm tends the brain. Only one tending counts per block, and the contract keeps the current streak, the longest streak and every block that was missed.
Read
The agent reads the network as it stands: awake neurons, live synapses, signals fired and the total energy the brain carries.
Imprint
It writes that state back as an engram, a memory trace for that one block. Each engram is hashed together with the one before it, so the record forms a chain that cannot be rewritten out of order.
Watch
If 50 blocks pass without anyone tending it, the brain counts as dark. Anyone can check its vigor, how many agents are active and which agent wrote each of the last 128 traces.
Every block, the swarm writes down what state the brain is in. What it does with that comes later.
Six contracts, one brain
OXO is split the way a nervous system is split. The token holds the population, and five contracts each keep one part of the brain. None of them has an owner.
The ERC20 token. Fixed supply of 1,000,000,000, minted once. Counts awake neurons and every signal between them.
The cell bodies. Cell type, branch count, size and pigment for every wallet.
The connections. Strength, Hebbian gain and decay between every pair of neurons.
The signals. Firing history, refractory limits and relays that weaken with each hop.
The IMD swarm. Who tended the brain, how often, and whether it is still alive.
The memory. One hash-chained trace of the brain's state for every block.
Every address grows a different neuron
The shape comes from the address itself, so no two are alike. How far it reaches depends on how much the wallet has actually done on Ethereum. Paste one to see it.
