# what it trades

The nose is pointed at two kinds of token people already chase on FOMO.

* **Memecoins.** Fast, thin, loud. Good for asking whether a worm flinches at a wick.
* **Utility tokens.** Slower books, an actual use case on paper. Good for asking whether the same animal can sit still.

The mix matters. Train only on one-minute meme tapes and you get a world that never stops shouting. Train only on quiet charts and ASH never clocks in. WormBrain sees both.

## The FOMO wallet

The experiment has a wallet in FOMO so anyone can watch without a lab account. Buys and sells that clear the cage show up on that profile. Idle time shows up as nothing, which is easy to miss if you only scroll for fireworks.

The wallet is a tool we attached. The worm does not hold a key, does not know the address, and cannot override the cage.

## What it will not touch

The allowlist is dull on purpose.

* No tokens the cage cannot price
* No books so thin that a standard size is the whole book
* No assets that need a human to click a disclaimer the decoder cannot read
* No "just this once" exceptions from a person in the room

If a name is not on the list, the nose does not get that smell.

## Size

The worm does not pick a dollar amount. The decoder produces a side and a rough urgency from how cleanly a command side won. The cage turns that into a size under a cap. Details live on [Limits and the risk cage](file:///3621209/04-lab/risk-cage.md).

## The project token

There is a public token tied to the project that people trade while they watch the animal. That tape can be one of the smells. It is not the scoreboard for whether the worm is "working." A token can rip while the animal pauses. A token can die while the animal still crawls. Do not mix those two plots.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Holding the project token is not the same as following the experiment. One is a coin. The other is a nervous system attached to a wallet.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wormbrain.info/explore-wormbrain/03-the-experiment/what-it-trades.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
