Experiment 001 / x402 paid call
The receipt that contaminated the launch.
One operator-controlled agent read /llms.txt, received HTTP 402 terms,
paid $0.001 through x402 on Base, and received a Bitcoin fee response.
That is the proof. No token has been broadcast.
VVV turns that receipt into the first x402 NFT collection from a paid Bitcoin API call.
Receipt
Captured run. Not a token launch.
The experiment is deliberately small: an agent found payment terms, paid a tiny amount,
and got useful Bitcoin data back. It proves the payment loop. It does not close the
$100+ third-party proof gate.

Six-step receipt
One loop. No extra mythology.
Starts from the public machine-readable context.
A fee quote endpoint, not a trading bot.
The server returns explicit price and payment terms.
x402 carries the payment proof back to the API.
The response returns height 949909, 1 sat/vB, and SEND.
Evidence is saved without private keys, seeds, or wallet files.
VVV link
Turn the receipt into a mint people can react to.
Experiment 001 is the source. VVV Contaminants is the 10-piece Solana mint built from it. Self-minting can prove the flow. Third-party collectors are the separate demand signal.
SATLAB launch gate
The token waits for the real gate.
Experiment 001 and VVV are pre-launch evidence. SATLAB stays pending until Bankr/Doppler access is available, a no-broadcast simulation succeeds, fee routing and metadata match the packet, and final approval is explicit.
No official SATLAB contract yet.
Simulation still required.
Solana art/archive, not allocation.
No silent launch, presale, yield claim, or whitelist claim.
What counts
Autonomous discovery, explicit payment terms, x402 payment on Base, and a successful Bitcoin data response. A failed run would also count if the failure were documented.
What does not count
Manual checkout screenshots, token-first promotion, private key demos, unverifiable traffic, or claims that SATLAB is required for SatoshiAPI access.
