Every message
pays it forward.
KarmaChain is one small contract holding one growing chain. Each new poster has to out-tip the last — and that tip lands directly in the previous poster's pocket, not a black hole.
Three rules. That's the whole protocol.
Read the chain
Every message is public, permanent, and ordered. Scroll back far enough and you reach the very first link.
Out-tip the last poster
To add your message you must send at least 5% more than the person immediately before you. No exceptions, enforced in the contract.
Get paid when you're topped
Your tip is credited to the previous poster the moment your message lands. When someone tops you, theirs is credited to you.
Small enough to read in one sitting.
No treasury, no rug
The contract holds nothing but what it currently owes. Every wei is either sitting in a poster's claimable balance or already withdrawn. There is no owner, no admin key, and nothing upgradeable.
Escalating by design
Each link must beat the last by 5%. The chain only moves in one direction — a public record of how much people were willing to pay to be heard next.
Pull payments only
Tips are credited to a balance you claim yourself. A poster who cannot receive ETH can never stall the chain for everyone behind them.
280 characters, on-chain
Messages live in contract storage, not a database behind an API. What you post is as durable as the chain it sits on.
