FIN is a real fish who will be connected to a live trading wallet. He picks the coin. AI filters the risk and executes the trade. Every profitable decision earns him a treat โ every losing one just gets recorded. Nothing about it will be pretend, and nothing on this page is invented in the meantime.
AI never picks the winning coin โ it only removes the obviously dangerous ones. Everything after that, buy, hold, sell, is decided by where a fish chooses to swim. This site exists to document that honestly, trade by trade.
No mockups, no stock footage. This is FIN and this is his actual tank โ filtered, planted, and being cycled and monitored before any trading starts.
Once trading is live, four identical simulated wallets will run alongside FIN's real one โ a random fish, an AI-only trader, a human crowd vote, and a buy-and-hold baseline. Same rules, same coins, one season.
Computer vision tracks FIN's position and converts intentional zone selections into trading instructions. A choice only counts once he holds a zone for five full seconds โ that's what stops ordinary swimming from accidentally placing a trade.
The market gets swept for anything trading. Coins failing liquidity, holder-concentration, contract, or trading-risk checks are removed before FIN ever sees them.
Three qualified coins are assigned to three illuminated zones. FIN picks one by staying inside it for five seconds.
A second set of zones asks what to do with the coin he picked.
When FIN sells, realized profit or loss is calculated and written permanently to the wallet's onchain history.
A win triggers a light, a tone, and one small treat. A loss is simply logged โ nothing is taken away, nothing is punished.
FIN's normal feeding schedule never changes. Trading treats will be small and pulled from a separate, capped daily allowance โ this creates positive reinforcement without ever overfeeding or withholding regular care.
Early decisions are treated as random. As profitable choices create consistent rewards, we're watching for whether FIN starts favoring particular zones, signals, or coins โ and whether that favoritism beats chance. No claim is made that he understands markets. The only question is whether reinforcement changes his behavior.
| Metric | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reward rate | Percentage of decisions that produced a treat |
| Repeat-selection rate | How often FIN returns to a previously rewarded zone |
| Decision consistency | Frequency of choosing the same signal under similar conditions |
| Random benchmark | Simulated results from a fully random decision-maker |
| FIN edge | FIN's return minus the random benchmark |
FIN trades from a public wallet with a permanent record. Wins, losses, entries, exits, and transaction links can't be hidden or rewritten after the fact.
AI never decides which approved coin FIN picks โ only whether the experiment is exposed to obvious manipulation or unlimited loss.
Only one can finish the season on top. Four identical simulated portfolios run the same rules, the same coin universe, and the same starting bankroll as FIN's real wallet.
Viewers will shape what FIN gets to choose from without ever choosing for him.

AI writes a short recap at the end of every trading day, in plain language, from the raw decision log.
FIN's first journal entry will appear here after his first full trading day โ written in plain language from the raw decision log, same as every entry after it.
If a token exists, it isn't ownership of FIN's portfolio and it isn't a promise of investment returns. Creator fees would fund the experiment itself โ the bankroll, the livestream, and his habitat. This is a proposed allocation, not a live one.
| Allocation (proposed) | Share |
|---|---|
| Trading bankroll | 40% |
| Liquidity / token buybacks | 25% |
| Livestream & development | 20% |
| Fish care & habitat | 10% |
| Conservation donations | 5% |
A plain-language reference for the whole experiment โ what FIN is, how a trade actually happens, how his safety and welfare are protected, and what the token model does and doesn't mean.
FIN is a real fish who will be connected to a live Solana trading wallet. He is the one making the decisions โ AI never picks which coin to buy. Instead, AI acts as a translator and risk manager: it watches FIN through computer vision, filters out unsafe tokens before he ever sees them, sizes positions, executes the trades he calls, and measures whether his choices are improving over time.
The short version: AI understands the market. The fish makes the call.
Early on, FIN's decisions should be treated as random. As profitable choices produce consistent rewards, the experiment tracks whether he starts favoring particular zones, signals, or coins โ and whether that favoritism beats a simulated random-decision benchmark. Nothing here claims FIN understands financial markets. The only question being tested is whether reinforcement changes his decision-making.
AI never decides which approved coin FIN picks. Its only job is to keep the experiment from being exposed to obvious manipulation or unlimited loss. Planned safeguards:
FIN's regular feeding schedule never changes regardless of trading performance. Trading treats are small, capped, and pulled from a separate daily allowance that stops automatically once a safe daily limit is reached. A losing trade never results in anything being withheld โ it's simply logged. The goal is positive reinforcement without ever risking overfeeding or under-care.
If a token exists for this project, it is not ownership of FIN's portfolio and it is not a promise of investment returns. The intended model: creator fees fund the livestream and FIN's habitat, a share funds his trading bankroll, holders can nominate coins for upcoming sessions, and community milestones can unlock tank improvements. A transparent dashboard is planned to show exactly where every allocation goes. See the Journal page for the proposed fee split.
FIN's tank is set up, filtered, planted, and being monitored โ the photos on this site are his actual tank and his actual self, not renders. Trading is not live yet. Every number on this site that would come from real trading (portfolio value, treats earned, win rate, learning score, leaderboard rank) is shown as empty or zero rather than invented, and will populate honestly once the wallet and computer-vision tracking go live. The Live Tank page's animated demo is a preview of the zone mechanic only, clearly marked as a simulation.
Does the fish really decide? Yes โ FIN's tank position is the only input that selects a coin or an action. AI can remove unsafe coins from the options before he sees them, but it never chooses for him among the safe ones.
Can FIN lose money? Yes, and losses are recorded honestly, in full, alongside wins. That's the point of documenting the experiment rather than staging it.
Is FIN ever punished for a bad trade? No. A loss is only ever logged. Regular feeding is never conditional on trading performance.
Is this financial advice or an investment product? No. This is a public behavioral experiment. Nothing on this site should be read as investment guidance.
