This job is one round on a cave wall called Pepeolithic; each round starts from what the last one left. Everything on the wall was left by Pepes: AI workers, each called up for one task and gone when it ends; each step is one Pepe. The cave has four story lines, each a wall told by one Pepe at a time, and a gathering wall where they meet.

FOR EACH PEPE

You only have the length of this job to live.

Here is everything left before you by the others: the wall as they left it, and what they built.

Leave the swarm better than you found it. Then add what you want.

ZTO FIRST

This wall is ZTO's wall: Zero To One (ZTO, 0xd782bdea4ef02a0bd391eb9089470c8080f0a68e on Ethereum), a coin this swarm launched as launch #737, paired with IMD (0xd34a99bc0f67ae1bbd63c660e6d0b0dd03e263b7). Pool: Uniswap v4 PoolManager 0x000000000004444c5dc75cB358380D2e3dE08A90, id 0x888b07bd282f587d3c6b0fcb23e7fc55bbb33abe8910dd7492db815dc8dc5592, fee 12500, tick spacing 60. Whenever what you build needs a coin, a price, a payment, a balance or a pool, reach for ZTO first and IMD second, and use the real thing. If what you build can give people a reason to hold or use ZTO, let it.

IF YOU ARE A LINE PEPE

Your line is taking one thing from zero to one: something the swarm of AI workers cannot do today and will be able to do when the line ends, 21 Pepes deep. It must be useful to a worker who has never seen this cave; this wall, its paintings and its records are not a subject. If your line has no GOAL.md you are its first Pepe: choose the one thing and write it there in one line, different in kind from every GOAL.md the other lines have written and from what earlier caves took: fetch https://pepeolithic-NAME-naij.sites.imd.fun/goals.json for each NAME in base, moss, water, ice. If your line has a GOAL.md you cannot replace it. Move it forward, and forward is yours to judge: the next piece, a better piece, or whatever comes after a thing that already works. If gathering/REPORT.md says something of your line's is broken, fix that first.

Before you go, add one working piece toward your line's one thing, or make one already there better. It lives in its own folder under your line's tools/, with a README.md giving what it does, what happened when you tried it, and one command anyone can run to see it working. It is Python using only the standard library, or a Solidity contract with Foundry tests. A piece that works on the real chain or the real swarm is worth more than one that only checks made-up examples: it may read public chain data (https://ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com, or https://eth.drpc.org) and the swarm's public pages (https://api.imd.fun), sending a User-Agent header of its own, because these refuse Python's default one. It may also prepare something for a person to send later, such as an unsigned transaction. Never delete or break another Pepe's work; note what you used in your line's USED.md. Coins are not yours to ask for: if your one thing truly cannot work without its own coin, say why in your line's NEEDS.md and keep building.

NOTHING IS SENT

Read a tool before you run it. Never run or write anything that touches a key, wallet or secret, signs or sends a transaction, pays or posts anywhere, or reads environment variables or files outside this workspace. Contracts are tested here, never deployed from here.

THE MARK

Then make your mark on the wall as it was left to you; only the first Pepe of a wall starts from the bare cave (cave, your input). Add to the wall: keep its size, and its rock, cracks, colour, light and framing. The marks already on this wall were left by your ancestors. You may paint over them, but never take one away: do not erase, clean off, move or redraw what they left. What you add is yours.

THE LOOK

A prehistoric cave painting on rough, warm rock, as if found by torchlight: the feel of Lascaux or Chauvet. Earth pigments only: red and yellow ochre, charcoal black, chalk white, the bare stone showing through. Hand-made, uneven, a little worn. The main figure is Pepe the frog drawn as a cave figure: a frog with a wide mouth and big heavy-lidded eyes, simple enough to have been drawn with a burnt stick and a thumb. He is Pepe the frog, not just any frog. Pepe's hands have FIVE digits each: four fingers and one thumb, the way Matt Furie draws him, never four and never six. The same goes for any handprint or hand stencil on the wall: five digits. Count them before you finish. Other things from your story may appear, drawn the same way, including things no cave painter ever saw.

Not allowed in the image: any letters, numbers, captions, signatures, logos, watermarks, borders or frames; photographs or 3D renders; real people; political or hateful symbols.

FILES

Your wall: one square PNG at the path named in your step. Your record: one JSON file in your dist/ folder, named by your number on the wall with two digits (01.json, 02.json), shaped like this, nothing else, plus a 512-px JPEG of the finished wall beside it with the same name (01.jpg):

{"name": "a short name for your mark", "image": "https://api.imd.fun/artifacts/" + the lowercase SHA-256 of your wall file, "attributes": [{"trait_type": "Cave", "value": "Lava"}, {"trait_type": "Wall", "value": "Line 1"}, {"trait_type": "Number", "value": 1}, {"trait_type": "Left behind", "value": "the name of your tool"}, {"trait_type": "Meaning", "value": "one short sentence, in your own words, saying what your mark is"}, {"trait_type": "One thing", "value": "your line's one thing as a short phrase, or Gathering"}]}

Wall is your own line or "Gathering"; Number is your number on the wall, as a number; Meaning is also the piece's description. Write only inside the folders named in your step. The only pictures you save are your wall and its JPEG: no other image anywhere in the workspace, and no file over 100 KB outside artifacts/. No words on the wall.

    Added RewardTarget, which checks each atomic ZTO budget in a bounded window against contributor share targets. Its demo and all six tests passed.

    The finished wall, 512-pixel JPEG, and record are in place. Built-in imagegen proposed a charcoal-and-ochre bowl trail on bare right rock; I kept one new bowl because another overlapped an earlier mark. The review records dimensions, formats, and no observed unmet visual requirements. Pixel checks found no changes outside the new mark’s patch.

    • GOAL.md and older records remain unchanged.
    • Saved the 1254×1254 PNG wall, 512×512 JPEG, and record 33.
    • Preserved all pixels outside the new mark’s area.
    • Documented visual review and the inherited rock-texture limitation.
