A strategic reframe — from philosophy to product.
A system designed around restraint. Continuity over virality. Territory over profiles. Recognition without competition. No engagement mining, no leaderboards, no gamification.
Jungle Bay exists for things that want to stay. Most web3 systems optimize for moments: launches, spikes, campaigns. Jungle Bay optimizes for continuity.
— Strategy DoctrineThis philosophy is worth protecting. But a vision — no matter how beautiful — is not yet a product.
This is the unfair advantage. Not the smart contract, not the Heat algorithm — the community that already exists. Artists, holders, believers. They're already "on the island." They just don't have an island to be on.
Discord is the island right now. The product needs to give them something Discord can't — and give the outside world a reason to arrive.
If someone wants to understand what Dickbutt is, what BOBO represents, why mfer has persisted for years — they go to DexScreener. They see a price chart and some links. Numbers, not meaning.
If they dig deeper: scattered X threads, Discord scrollback, a project website if it exists. None of it is canonical. None of it is durable. All of it decays.
Today, provenance is fragmented across X threads, Discord scrollback, Mirror posts, and Notion docs. None of it is durable. None of it is canonical. All of it decays.
— Phase 1 Strategic VisionThis is the gap. Not philosophical — practical.
When someone shares memetics.wtf/base/0x2D57...3cCf, the person who clicks should understand that project better in 30 seconds than they would after 10 minutes on DexScreener + CoinGecko + the project's website combined.
The lore. The links. The chart. The community context. The origin story. All in one place, beautifully presented, with a clear way to act.
The template:
The Threshold
What you see before entering. Name, ticker, one-line identity. The door.
The Wall
Curated cultural content. Origin story, canonical memes, community art. The soul.
The Hearth
Token vitals. Chart, price, market cap, swap. Ambient, not dominant.
The Shelf
Links outward. X, Farcaster, Telegram, website. The connective tissue.
Every bungalow shares the same architecture. The Island controls the structure. The project fills it with soul.
Anyone can build a token directory. DexScreener already exists. CoinGecko already exists. What they can't build is a place where real artists create real work for the projects that live there.
The 12 Home Team bungalows won't be populated by AI slop. They'll be curated by the community. Art by Jungle Bay artists. Lore written by people who actually care. The Wall becomes a canvas that accumulates real cultural production over time.
Projects can commission work from Jungle Bay artists. Bounties for memes, banners, visual identity. The bungalow becomes a living gallery — and the community that already exists is what makes that possible.
DexScreener shows you a chart.
A Jungle Bay bungalow shows you why anyone cares.
For projects: Claim a bungalow → get the best-looking token page on the internet → share the link everywhere. Their community sees a home, not just a chart.
For artists: Create work for bungalows → get paid or build reputation → work lives permanently. Jungle Bay becomes where you find meme-native artists.
For JBM holders: JBM flows through claiming fees → more bungalows = more demand → real utility, not speculation.
For visitors: Click a link → understand a project in 30 seconds → discover other bungalows → maybe claim one.
Each bungalow is a door. The communities do the distribution, because sharing the bungalow link serves their interests.
Claiming fees.
% of market cap. Half buys JBM, half buys the project's token. They get buy pressure, we get revenue.
Commission fees.
Protocol takes a cut when artists get paid for bungalow work. More cultural production = more revenue.
Featured bungalows.
12 spots around the DMT Lagoon. Weekly auction. Premium visibility for projects that want it.
If something wants to stay, it should contribute to the place that lets it stay.
— Strategy DoctrineEverything in the original documents — continuity over virality, no engagement mining, no leaderboards, presence without pressure — all of it still applies. These are guard rails that protect the culture.
Heat tracks silently in the background. The Lagoon deepens over time. Dormancy remains respected. The principles hold.
But the product needs to be useful on day one. The bungalow as the best token page on the internet — enhanced by a community that no one else has — is what people actually use.
12 static bungalows
No reason to visit
No reason to share
No revenue
Hope people eventually care
12 bungalows that are the best representation of each project
Reason to visit: understand fast
Reason to share: better than DexScreener
Revenue from day one
Community makes it worth caring about
The bungalow template.
Consistent architecture. Threshold, Wall, Hearth, Shelf. Every bungalow shares the structure. Each one fills it with unique soul.
12 Home Team bungalows, community-curated.
Real art from real artists. These set the standard for what a bungalow can be.
Claiming flow.
Any Base token can claim. Fee split between JBM and project token. New bungalows start on the periphery.
Commission system.
Projects can post bounties for art. Artists submit work. Protocol takes a cut.
Heat tracking, silent.
No UI yet. Just data. When there's enough, we surface what Heat unlocks.
7,000 people. Real artists. Real believers. They're not waiting for an island — they're waiting for a product that lets them contribute to something worth caring about.
The bungalow gives projects the best page on the internet. The community makes it better than anyone else could build. And the philosophy protects it from becoming another engagement treadmill.
The Island should feel like a place you'd want to stay.
But first, it needs to be a place worth arriving at.
