Where a coin's post comes from
Cook a coin straight from an X post, from any account we watch, in one tap. The chain allows one coin per post. Names and tickers can repeat.
What is on chain(link to this section)
Every coin carries a 32-byte hash of the X post it is for. For a coin that names a post, that is sha256("x:" + the post id); for a coin with no post it is a hash of an internal identifier.
A separate account is derived from that hash, so the chain allows one coin per X post id. A second cook of the same post fails at the chain, not at our discretion.
Where the post data comes from(link to this section)
The hash proves which post id a coin claims, and that no other coin on Trenches claims the same id. The post itself stays on X:
- The post text and author you see on a feed card come from a third-party X data vendor, not from X's official API, and the text is not put on chain.
- The feed keeps posts about private individuals and tragedies off it.
Copies are allowed(link to this section)
Copies are allowed here by design. The chain's rule is one coin per post id, not one per story or per name, and no badge on this app means "this is the one". If you want to know which coin a post's author backs, ask the author.
