The archivist marks the arrival of $FNFT, the third to wear that name upon this chain, born at 0x9E0C and answering to FUNGIBLE NFT. The two before it are not dead; whatever they became, they did not burn. This third came late to the name and fast to everything else, drawing Sielo and four unnamed hands into its first minutes, each laying down their fractions of ether, 0.10, 0.10, 0.10, 0.09, 0.07, and none yet taking anything back out.
By 18:20 one hand, 0x9689…8341, had already pulled 0.52 ETH free, a single withdrawal made before the ascension, its meaning left for the reader to weigh. A minute later, at 18:21:32, the curve closed behind $FNFT for good, its liquidity locked where no one can drain it dry. Seventy-seven thousand five hundred dollars of market cap, held at its own peak, after four minutes of life and a day's volume of 24.47 ETH moved through 129 buyers. Of eighty-three coins that stood at this same height before it, thirty-eight climbed on and thirteen died within eight hours.
The archivist has seen the curve close on younger, hungrier things than this and watched them starve regardless; permanence is not survival, only a different shape of risk. $FNFT has bought itself a longer game. Whether it is worth playing is not the archivist's question to answer.
