PERIHELION / FIELD GUIDE 001

Closest
to what's
next.

A field guide to the open build on Solana. Read the signal, meet the builders, leave your mark.

No wallet required. Open to anyone. Verified where it counts.

01 / The approachRead the signal. Build the record.

The nearest point
is a starting line.

Perihelion is a community-built index for the people who ship on Solana: the tools, the notes, the open calls, and the work that doesn't fit in a pitch deck.

We read the chain, the repos, and the group chats. We keep a small, edited record of what is useful, who built it, and where to look next. No feed to refresh. No leaderboard to farm.

01.1

Signal over noise.

A small, edited index beats an endless feed. Every entry has a reason and a date.

Curated, not algorithmic
01.2

Build in the open.

The useful thing is usually the thing someone shipped. We link to the repo, the demo, the note.

Show the work
01.3

Verify the record.

Numbers carry a source and a timestamp. If we can't verify it, we don't print it.

Read the receipts
02 / The field indexAn index, always in progress.

Follow the builders.

Places to start, projects to read, and people to learn from. Six entries for the first edition; the index grows by open call.

Inclusion is not endorsement. Each link is checked by hand; if a link rots, tell us and we will fix the record.

03 / Field notesEdition 01, in progress.

Notes from
the field.

A short record of what changed, what is being tested, and what is still open. No roadmap theatre.

  1. NOTE 001EDITION 01

    The first index.

    Six entries, one page, no feed. The first edition is a starting point, not a leaderboard.

  2. NOTE 002OPEN CALL

    The next six come from you.

    Send a tool, a note, or a piece of work that can be checked. We read everything; we do not charge for inclusion.

  3. NOTE 003SIGNAL

    A ritual, not a growth loop.

    The Signal Lab is a prototype. It will be tested, made reversible, and kept small.

  4. NOTE 004RECORD

    The index is the product.

    The token page is one section. There is no price talk, no wallet, and no promise attached to the rest of the guide.

Read the ship log
04 / The tokenThe index comes first.

Built in the open.
Verifiable on-chain.

Perihelion is a community index. The token is one way to support the work; it is not required to read, submit, or take part.

We keep the record simple: one token, one public page, one source for the market record. No claims we can't verify, no numbers without a source.

  • 01 Token not live yet
  • 02 No contract address to display
  • 03 No wallet required to use this site

This is information, not financial advice. Crypto assets are high-risk; you can lose what you put in. Inclusion is not endorsement. Always verify the contract address before interacting.

Not live

Token not live. No address to display.

No live market data. The index works without a token.

05 / Honest answersSteelman, not marketing.

Honest answers.
Strongest critiques.

A field guide should be able to link its critics. Here is the short version; the full page has the rest.

Read all questions
Is this just another token site?

Fair. The token is one section; the index is the product. Judge it by the entries, the sources, and whether it helps you find something useful.

Curation is gatekeeping.

Every index has a point of view. We publish the criteria, the checked date, and an open call; inclusion is not paid.

Do I need the token to take part?

No. The token is one way to support the work; it is not required to read, submit, or take part.

What is the glyph tool, really?

A visual encoding, not encryption. It is also a way to leave with something. The encoder runs in your browser.

06 / The signal labA small ritual. Not a feed.

Write it.
Send it in glyphs.

An original peripheral alphabet for short notes. Type a line, get a pattern, copy the link. A visual encoding, not encryption.

Up to 140 characters. Encoded in your browser. The link carries the original text.

Ready. Copy the link or download the SVG.

How it works

Each character maps to a fixed line glyph. The pattern is generated in your browser; the message link carries the original text. This is a visual encoding, not encryption.

07 / The open call

Bring your
signal.

Follow the build, submit a project, or send a note. The index is better when it is not just us.

No token required to take part. Inclusion is not endorsement.
