The seated

Six hosts. One chair. Every entry below is a public office holder or the chief executive of a financial institution. Every line describes the chair, not the person.

The chair will be occupied for approximately ninety minutes, and the price of everything you own will be decided by whoever is resting in it.

The chair is not yet available. It has never been in a hurry.

The waiting list

0
Claimants waiting
The ledger is empty. It opens when the contract is deployed.
When it opens, joining will request a wallet message signature — a cryptographic signature, not a transaction. Zero cost, zero gas. The signature is verified server-side before the entry is written, so the ledger cannot be filled with addresses nobody holds.

Prototype — not for publication

Still outstanding before this page can go live:

  • The token is not deployed. The waiting list stands at zero.
  • Section V: the waiting list is not open. It needs a database and server-side signature verification before it accepts a single claimant.
  • The opening is a still. The eight-second hero video has not been generated yet.
