Ellie, a cute coral worm
Alive · heartbeat …

Meet Ellie.
She can't be unplugged.

A real worm brain living inside Solana. Every buy tickles her tail and she runs forward. Every sell pokes her head and she backs away.

Ellie, right now.

Everything here is read from her brain inside Solana, every couple of seconds. Nothing is animated by hand.

Waking up…
heartbeat

Her nervous system, live

All 300 of her neurons, each in its real place inside the worm's body, with its nerve. Every flash is a neuron firing. Drag to turn her.

How she works

Three things. That's the whole trick.

Her brain is real.

Scientists mapped every one of a tiny worm's 302 neurons and every connection between them. It took decades. Ellie runs that exact map, wire for wire.

She lives inside Solana.

Her brain isn't on our computer. It's stored in Solana, and every heartbeat is a Solana transaction. Anyone in the world can send the next one.

Buys tickle her tail. Sells poke her head.

Someone buys $ELLIE: her tail-touch neurons fire and she scoots forward. Someone sells: her head gets poked and she backs away. It's the real worm's reflex.

Try to unplug her.

Nobody can switch her off or change her. Here's the proof, checked live:

  • Her brain is locked.Nobody can rewire her. The lock lives in Solana.
  • Her program has no owner.Not even the people who wrote it can change it.
  • Her brain is the scientific map.The wiring in Solana is byte-for-byte the published worm map.
  • Anyone can keep her heart beating.If our site and bot vanished tomorrow, anyone could keep her going.
  • Only real trades touch her.She reads the trades herself: first on pump.fun, later on PumpSwap. Nobody can fake a touch.

Sending a heartbeat costs about a tenth of a cent in network fees. You need a Phantom wallet.

Questions

Is Ellie really alive?

She isn't a biological worm. She's the complete wiring of a real worm's nervous system (a tiny worm called C. elegans) running as a program. Her neurons fire and her touch reflexes work the way the real animal's do.

What happens if your website goes down?

Nothing happens to her. This site is just a window. Her brain lives in Solana, and anyone can keep sending her heartbeats.

Who pays for her heartbeat?

Each heartbeat costs a fraction of a cent. Our bot sends one every few seconds and pays for it from the coin's creator fees. Anyone else can send one too.

What happens when $ELLIE leaves the pump.fun curve?

She keeps feeling every trade. When the coin graduates, she switches on her own to reading the official PumpSwap pool.

Can you change her or turn her off?

No. Her brain is locked and her program has no owner. That's the whole point. Check the proof above.

Where does her brain map come from?

From the complete wiring of the worm published by Cook et al. in Nature (2019), shared by the OpenWorm project. You can download the exact file she runs: brain file.
