The 5 year plan
landed
on schedule

On October 21, 2021 the founders moved the stash into cold storage and Jessie moved to FlashTown with a 5 year plan. That wallet has not moved a single token since.

Five years
on one line

  1. Kudoken is created

    1,000,000,000 KDU deployed on Ethereum. No mint, so that number is final.

  2. The pool opens

    3.45 ETH and 125,000,000 KDU (12.5% of supply) seed the Uniswap V3 pool.

  3. Into cold storage

    53,063,063 KDU and 6.45 ETH come out of the pool and the stash goes cold. Jessie moves to FlashTown.

  4. The universe gets built

    FlashTown, Fruity Puppy, Brobots, Biorama, the Outlet Mall and Monkey Jockey.

  5. Five years, untouched

    The cold storage wallet still holds 928,063,063 KDU. Kudoken relaunches.

How 928,063,063
got to cold storage

  4. Out of the poolOct 21, 2021plus 53,063,063
  5. Cold storage928,063,063
875,000,000 kept back plus 53,063,063 from the pool equals 928,063,063, which is 92.8% of all KDU.

Untouched since
October 2021

1,823 days

Not one token has left the cold storage wallet since the stash went in on October 21, 2021. That is 92.8% of all KDU, sitting still while the universe got built.

Day count updates itself from October 21, 2021.

Same KDU
a lighter ride

Ethereum is where Kudoken lives. Base is where it will get spent. Moving KDU onto Base makes a tip or a checkout cost a fraction of a cent, without making a single new token.

How the bridge
works

Ethereum1. Lock

KDU goes into the official Base bridge contract on Ethereum and stays locked there.

Base2. Arrive

The same amount of KDU shows up on Base, in the same wallet, a few minutes later.

Base3. Spend

Tip, pay and win for pennies. Bridge back any time and it unlocks on Ethereum.

One supply. Whatever sits on Base is matched by KDU locked on Ethereum, so the total stays 1,000,000,000. The split shown is only an illustration.

Cost of sending
one token

Typical transfer fee, October 2026 Sending one token costs about 16 cents on Ethereum and about one tenth of a cent on Base, roughly 160 times less. Ethereum about $0.16 Base about $0.001 Roughly 160 times less on Base
Typical October 2026 network fees for one token transfer. Fees move with network traffic.

Try the wallet
with play money

This is the Kudoken wallet that will plug into every Kudoken spot. Right now it runs on Base Sepolia, Base's test network, with a test version of KDU.

Nothing here is real money. Test tokens have no value and cannot be swapped for real KDU. To send, grab free test ETH from a Base Sepolia faucet.

One wallet,
everywhere

KDU is the shared currency for Jessie Sponberg's universe. The sites are live. Paying, winning and giving with KDU in each one is being built now.

Live nowIn development, not live yetEvery site is up today. KDU works on Ethereum now; inside each project it is coming.

Play, earn,
spend, give

The idea from the 2021 whitepaper, rebuilt for the universe. None of this loop is live yet. Here is how it is meant to go round.

The loop

Play, earn, spend, give loop A circle of four steps. Play: race in Monkey Jockey. Earn: KDU lands in your wallet. Spend: at the Outlet Mall and in Biorama. Give: stake to support FlashTown's rescue animals. Then back to play. PlayMonkey Jockey EarnKDU to you SpendMall, Biorama GiveFlashTown Onewallet
All four steps are in development. Today KDU can be held, sent and traded.

Energy is
currency

  1. Your energyTime, play, art, care. The stuff you put into the world.
  2. Becomes KDURecognized as tokens when you play and take part. Coming.
  3. Flows to makersSpent with the people building the universe. Coming.
  4. Feeds the animalsShared with rescue animals through staking. Coming.
  5. and the energy comes back around
The original 2021 slogan, drawn as a cycle. A way of thinking, not a promise of returns.

Galactivism
starts at home

The 2021 whitepaper built giving back into the token: stake KDU and a share goes to animal sanctuaries.

That idea is coming home to FlashTown, the rescue farm and sanctuary on Kīlauea that looks after about 25 rescue cats and 5 rescue dogs. Sanctuary staking is in development and not live yet.

answers

What is Kudoken?

Kudoken (KDU) is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000, deployed on May 6, 2021 by Jessie Sponberg and Gabriel Rogers. It is the unofficial token of galactivism and the shared currency for Jessie's projects.

How do I buy KDU?

Use any Buy KDU button. It opens Uniswap with the real contract already selected. Connect an Ethereum wallet, choose how much ETH to swap and confirm. There is one pool, so check the price impact Uniswap shows before you confirm.

Why is so much in one wallet?

92.8% of all KDU (928,063,063) is the founders' long-term cold storage. It went in on October 21, 2021 and has not moved since. You can check it yourself on Etherscan.

Can anyone make or destroy KDU?

No. The verified contract has no mint and no burn function, no transfer tax and no admin controls.

What is the move to Base?

A plan, in development, to bridge KDU to Base so everyday payments cost a fraction of a cent. It uses the official Base bridge, so KDU on Base is always matched by KDU locked on Ethereum and the total supply stays the same. It is not live yet.

Is the wallet demo real money?

No. It runs on Base Sepolia, a test network, with test tokens that have no value.

Is this financial advice?

No. Nothing on this site is financial advice and nobody is promising returns. Crypto prices move and you can lose what you put in. Do your own research.
