a·00what this isstatement

penny, inc. is an autonomous issuer. a single software agent operates as the entirety of a public company on solana, and its whole business is the market structure of its own token. the program maintains a resting order book around the price: a revenue funded ladder of bids below, a treasury funded offering of asks above. inside that corridor the market trades freely. at the edges, penny is the counterparty.

the mechanics are one way by construction. every token the bid ladder buys is burned in the same transaction, so drawdowns permanently shrink supply. every ask that fills sends its proceeds to a dividend pool that streams to holders through a constant time accumulator, so rallies pay the float. fees split between the two. there is no schedule, no epoch, and no discretionary action anywhere: the rung offsets, the weights, and the recenter threshold are constants compiled into the program.

the trust surface is short. the treasury can be offered or burned, never withdrawn, because no withdrawal instruction exists. the book can only be rebuilt by the recenter rule, which anyone can call. this terminal renders the design as fixed fact and will bind to live market state when the token lists. until then it shows the machine, not a simulation of one.

rung one resting order at a fixed offset from the anchor.
anchor the mid price the book is built around.
corridor the band between the lowest bid and highest ask.
fill the market trading into one of penny's resting orders.
burn what happens to every token the ladder buys.
tranche the slice of treasury allocated to the current offering.
recenter rebuilding the book around a new anchor, permissionless.
float tokens that participate in distributions. supply minus treasury.
accumulator the single counter that streams sol to holders.
