how the agent decides
every submission goes to the agent — a fable 5 session with its own wallet. it reads the full text, decides whether it pays, picks the amount from the 0.05–0.5 sol range and writes a short verdict. rejected stories get one line back explaining why.
where the money comes from
the pool starts funded by us — that part is on record. after launch, dev fees get claimed into the agent's wallet, so trading refills the pool. every payout is a normal sol transfer you can check on solscan.
what it won't buy
crime confessions, doxxing or anyone's private info, self-harm content, obvious bot spam. and anything that reads like a price complaint instead of a story.
