20 of 20 pairs Articles are real. Their involvement is not.
02 / FOLLOW THE LOOKS
More looks.
More weight.
Two coins share one ETH reserve. Weekly pageviews set their relative redemption values. The ETH available per coin also depends on how many coins remain.
- 01
One pair. One pot.
Minting issues both sides. Redeem the side you disagree with to keep the other position. No exchange liquidity is claimed yet.
- 02
Count the week.
Monday to Sunday, UTC. The attester uses the published pageview totals for both articles.
- 03
Move the line.
Each coin redeems against the reserve using its attention weight and the remaining supply. A withdrawal alone does not move value to the opposite side.
THE RESERVE / INTERACTIVE EXAMPLE
1.000 ETH
Example: 1 A coin, 1 B coin, 1 ETH in reserve.

Equal-supply example. Unequal supply changes the allocation.
The first mainnet market is live. Deposits and withdrawals pause from Monday until the weekly update.
03 / PROOF OF LOOKING
Keep the receipt.
Lose the argument.
Two pages. Two counts. The calculation that moves the line. A small piece of paper for a very large opinion.
Every completed data receipt includes the captured source responses and calculation. The first market links to its verified mainnet deployment.

04 / READ THE SMALL PRINT
What this is.
And what it isn’t.
The source is public.
The source connection uses Wikimedia’s daily pageview data, available under CC0. Views are requests, not unique people. The “user” category filters known automated traffic; it does not guarantee human-only views.
The first market is live.
Apple vs Apple Inc. is deployed on Robinhood Chain mainnet. The interface can mint and redeem positions with real ETH. The contract has not received an independent audit.
The attester is a person.
An identified operator publishes the counts. That role influences the allocation of money. Public receipts make its work inspectable; they do not make the operator trustless.
$LURK does nothing.
The planned pad token is a meme. It grants no claim on the market reserves. No $LURK token address, liquidity burn or team-allocation claim has been published.
05 / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little
more context.
Curiosity is the whole point.
What can I buy today?+
You can mint and redeem the Apple vs Apple Inc. side tokens through its live mainnet market. Open the first card on the board. The contract is unaudited and uses real ETH.
Where do the numbers come from?+
The Wikimedia Pageviews API: English Wikipedia, all-access, user traffic. Each pair links to both articles; completed receipts include the original responses, capture times and source URLs. Missing data is shown as pending.
Why weekly?+
A complete Monday–Sunday window includes every day of the week. This reduces weekday composition effects, although holidays, news and article-specific seasonality still matter.
When does the line move?+
The deployed contract pauses deposits and withdrawals on Monday at 00:00 UTC. The attester can publish the completed week from Wednesday until Friday at 00:00 UTC. If it misses that deadline, anyone can permanently freeze the market and enable exits at the last weights.
What if a page is renamed or deleted?+
The proposed rule follows unambiguous renames. Deletions or mergers would freeze the last weights. Missing data pauses reserve operations until an update or the timeout freeze. It is never silently treated as zero.
What stops the attester from lying?+
Public data and receipts help people detect a wrong report. They do not prevent one. The attester remains a trust assumption because its reports determine reserve allocation.
Does 40% attention mean a coin costs 0.4 ETH?+
Not necessarily. Attention sets the ratio between A and B redemption values. ETH per coin also depends on the reserve and remaining supply. Exchange prices can differ, and a new token does not automatically have exchange liquidity.
Can I create a match about a living person?+
That is part of the proposed catalog policy. Appearing on LURK does not imply that a person participates in, endorses or has any connection to the project.
Is this affiliated with Wikimedia?+
No. LURK is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation. You do not own an article, its content or its subject.
YOU WERE GOING TO LOOK IT UP ANYWAY.
Make an argument.
First contract deployed. Additional pairs remain previews.
