Welcome back.

Scherwode Graft A community should be able to move chains or relaunch without pretending the old contract is somehow the new one. Graft is basically how we are handling that on Scherwode. You escrow the legacy token, get marks, and those marks claim a finite portion of the new token on the destination chain. Not a tradable IOU, just a clean way to prove who migrated and what they are entitled to. The other part is liquidity. If there is recoverable capital from the old token, that gets moved over and matched into real liquidity on the new chain, so you are not just launching from zero again and hoping everyone buys the curve. Claims can unlock on a published schedule, anything unclaimed can burn, anything that never migrates can stay locked, and the actual relaunch terms are set before anyone deposits. Supply, dilution, direct launch vs curve, Wild vs Rooted, whatever makes sense for that project, but it is all disclosed up front. Not live yet, but we are building the rails for it now.

LIVE NOW — Sprouted tokens. A token launches, people trade it, and part of that activity starts building a real perpetual position underneath it. That’s the basic idea. Scherwode handles the launch and token side. @artificeSystems powers the perpetual side, with positions settled on Hyperliquid. So instead of all the activity just disappearing into fees and liquidity, the launch starts growing something underneath itself. scherwode.fun/create

We’ve been pulling parts of the Artifice agent architecture apart into smaller pieces that are useful on their own instead of making everything depend on one giant framework. The first two are Murmur and Remnant.

$WODE started with a question: What if every token left something behind? A meme can launch, rip 20x, dump 90%, and vanish from everyone's timeline. That's normal. But what if some of that activity didn't disappear with it? What if every launch contributed to a basket that remained behind, creating persistent price action from things the market would normally just throw away? $WODE was the test. The funny part is that while we didn't get the launch traction we wanted, the underlying basket has been almost disturbingly accurate. Which means we may have accidentally validated the more important idea first...

quit telling people i’m dead. Scherwode has been quiet, mostly because we’ve been building, and a little dissapointed in the lack of launches. The first thing is the site. The current UI still feels too much like the version we launched with, and the product has moved past that. So we’ve stripped a lot of that back — a more modernized UI, a much simpler launch process, cleaner navigation, better discovery, less clutter, less friction. The goal is that you should be able to land on Scherwode, understand what you can do, and launch something without having to fight the interface first. The more interesting part is what we’re actually letting people launch. We haven’t gotten the traction we wanted with launches yet. That’s just true. But I still think the original idea was right: launches should be more interesting than make token, make pool, hope people buy it. We already built around rooted assets, baskets, different launch structures, different ways of deciding what actually sits behind a market. Now we’re pushing that further with a new perpetuals-backed launch type. There is already a ridiculous amount of liquidity, open interest and price discovery sitting in perpetual markets, so instead of pretending every new asset needs to start from zero, we want Scherwode launches to be able to use that existing market structure underneath them. That gives us a lot more room to do interesting things with launches, a place where you can build markets around actual underlying structure. And then there’s $WODE. We haven’t gotten the launch traction yet, but we do have an absolutely massive basket sitting behind $WODE, and we have mostly just... left it there. So we’ve been looking at that too ;) This week: a much simpler launch process, a more modernized UI, perpetuals-backed launches, some work around $WODE, and more.

Jester became bigger than Jester. On September 1, Jester becomes Artifice (@ArtificeSystems). This is not a visual refresh. Jester started as a trading product. It became a full system: accounts, billing, research, execution, risk, agents, APIs, and several applications. The old company name no longer covered that. Going forward, Jester is the trading algo built by Scientio. Artifice is the company and the system around it. xitter.cf/ArtificeSystems/status…

Automation became foundational. Research became persistent. Trading became execution. Intelligence became coordinated. Fragments became systems. Infrastructure became the product. Change became necessary. Emergence became inevitable.
