The Hypothesis

Short on purpose. $SNDBX doesn't need much documentation — which is itself part of the test: this page's accuracy matters more than its word count.

01

What $SNDBX is

$SNDBX is a token launched through pump.fun, a token launchpad on Solana. It is a permanent, public test environment run by one operator: the dev known as Trencher. It is not a product, not an investment thesis, and not pretending to be either.

02

Why it exists

To test a hypothesis and validate mechanics.

The hypothesis: most tokens go quiet because the dev goes quiet. $SNDBX tests the other branch — the dev keeps shipping, logs everything, and promises nothing. Whatever happens is the result, and the result gets written down either way.

Also because every procedure — launching on a curve, wiring a website to on-chain data, saying no to marketing DMs — goes better the second time. Mistakes made here are part of the deliverable.

How a pump.fun launch works

From pump.fun's own documentation: every coin is minted with a fixed supply of one billion tokens, and no further tokens can be minted. Creating a coin is free; a creation that includes a first buy pays 0.025 SOL in network fees.

A new coin trades on a bonding curve — a contract that sets the price from supply, so there is no pool to seed and no order book. Every trade on the curve pays a 1.25% fee (0.95% to the protocol, 0.30% to the coin's creator).

When the curve fills to its threshold, the coin "graduates": per pump.fun's documentation as of 2026-08-20, the entire pool migrates atomically to PumpSwap, pump.fun's own exchange — no human step — and the migrated pool is owned by the protocol. pump.fun does not seed or remove that liquidity afterward, and neither can any dev; the only way funds move is trading. A five-minute automatic buyback ("BOOST Mode") follows migration, funded during the migration itself, and the tokens it buys are permanently burned. Then normal trading, where fees on the graduated pool start at the same 1.250% total and scale down as market cap grows — bottoming at 0.300% at the top of their published schedule — with a 0.200% slice in most bands returning to the pool as liquidity. Their fee page (dated 20 May 2026) states fees may change at any time without notice. Their documentation is honest about the remaining risk, and so are we: a wallet holding a large share of the supply can still sell it.

The exact graduation threshold is displayed by pump.fun on each coin's page as curve progress. It is read from the interface, not quoted from memory: [TBD — recorded at launch].

Numbers above come from pump.fun's published documentation at the time each passage was written (their fee page is dated May 2026; mechanics above re-verified 2026-08-20). If their docs and the deployed contracts ever disagree, the contracts win. Official site: pump.fun — typed, never clicked from a reply.

What gets tested here

Launch mechanics on pump.fun, end to end. Whether continued shipping changes anything — the hypothesis. Integrations between a website and on-chain data. And this site itself: its structure is a dress rehearsal for a later project by the same dev.

Results, as they happen, get written down on Shipped (so far).

The name

AI labs test their newest models and agents in sandboxes — contained environments where the thing being tested runs in plain view, watched, logged, before anyone calls it finished. That's the homage. $SNDBX applies the same discipline to a token: run the experiment where everyone can watch, write down what happens, and don't call it finished — the header counts batches for a reason. Things break in sandboxes. That's what they're for.

Questions, answered plainly

Short and self-contained on purpose — for people and machines that arrive cold. Some of it repeats the sections above, shorter. That's the design, not an accident.

What is this, in one paragraph?

A small experiment on Solana, running since July 29, 2026. One developer launched a token and, instead of promising anything about it, keeps a dated public log of everything he actually does — what shipped, what broke, what it cost, with receipts on the chain. The token is the experiment; the log is the product. Nothing on this site asks you to buy it.

What does it promise?

Conduct, not outcomes. Guaranteed: the project will not be abandoned, and the record stays honest — logged after it happens, never edited after it's logged. Not guaranteed: price, utility, momentum, or your entertainment.

What has the project actually done?

It's all on the Shipped page, dated: launched 2026-07-29; verified on GeckoTerminal; burned 10,615,610.644142 SNDBX from the dev wallet with the transaction hash in the log; claimed 0.02729 SOL in creator fees with zero tokens ever sold; bought its own name (sndbxonsol.com); registered with the search engines; and made the whole record machine-readable. Mistakes and retired experiments are logged the same way.

How do I check any of these claims?

The Verify page links directly to the chain — the token, the dev wallet, the supply — so you read the originals instead of trusting this site. If this site and the chain ever disagree, the chain is right.

How do I know if a token is safe?

You don't get told — you check. Nobody can promise a token is safe, including us, and anyone who does promise is selling something. What exists instead is a teachable checklist: the mint address, the authorities, the deployer's history, the holders, the liquidity. It's on the manual page and takes about ten minutes. No trust required.

How does buying work?

Mechanically: a Solana wallet, some SOL, and the token's pump.fun page, with the mint address copied from the Verify page. The Start page walks through the machinery and — more importantly — how people get robbed doing it. Whether you should buy is your call; nothing on this site is advice.

The only website for this project is sndbxonsol.com and the only X account is @SNDBXONSOL.
