Illustration of a white and orange hamster beside a wheel. Not a photograph.
Artist’s reconstruction · not evidence

A suspiciously hamster-shaped individual.

Male. Syrian hamster. White-orange. The project’s biography is unusually forthcoming.

02 · The apparatusDocumented

The wheel has witnesses.

A magnet, a Hall sensor and a Pi turn accepted passages into ten-minute work records. Cameras watch independently.

48.634 km. No destination.

Best day: 29 Oct · 11.675 km.
Busiest half hour: 27 Oct, 22:00–22:30 UTC · 1,827 work units.

04 · The signaturePublic record

The signature has no paws.

The Reporter key authorizes each settlement. The relayer submits it and pays gas. A signature proves authorization, not fur.

Both named cores report the same Reporter in the saved chain read. The device’s signing chip is a separate layer.

His coins. Allegedly.

Lifetime cap

Launch premine
10%
Per Squeek block
6,900 SQK
On Sepolia
5,600 SQK

Sepolia has no premine. “Hamster-Owned Liquidity Safe” is the project’s name for its reserve recipient, not proof of hamster control.

Rest is in the contract.

The care policy puts welfare first: voluntary running, undisturbed rest, no waking for mining, no restricted food or water. Stop filming or mining if care requires it.

Read the care policy ↗A published policy; compliance was not independently inspected.

Missing ≠ napping.

The saved statistics show 118 active rounds, 524 zero-work rounds and 299 missing rounds. Zero work is consistent with rest, but downtime can also produce zeros.

Read what the system proves ↗One round is ten minutes. Missing data stays unknown.

The first disappearance.

The hamster has not vanished.

On 30 October, the reported trail went cold at the published core. Its last located settlement was on 26 October. The API was following a different core.

Our inference: a break in the public paper trail, not proof that the wheel stopped. These cores have different streams and genesis times. Their totals are separate histories.

Chain snapshot: block 12,030,379, 31 Oct 2026, 00:53:48 UTC. The original 30 October check comes from the brief; the saved 31 October read supports its cutoff. The reason for the mismatch remains unresolved. Open the saved chain reads ↗

Selected reads establish neither implementation integrity nor Safe control. The older deployment’s reward rules are not assumed to govern the API core’s wider deployment.

The usual non-human suspects.

Select a suspect to read its alibi.

Five parody theories. No source alleges an impersonator. The following deductions are ours.

A cat

Motive: professional rivalry.Read alibi

The biography says Syrian hamster. The sensor cannot identify species, so the chain alone cannot rule a cat in or out.

No feline evidence.

The WHEELY9000

Suspiciously well branded.Read alibi

A wheel, magnet and sensor record passages. The installation holds neither the Reporter key nor the relayer key.

Apparatus, not an author.

Check the apparatus ↗

The Raspberry Pi

Has access to the records.Read alibi

The Pi counts and stores work. Its signing chip signs host-supplied bytes; it cannot verify their physical truth.

A clerk with a trust boundary.

Check the proof limits ↗

The Reporter key

Signs everything. Says nothing.Read alibi

It approves exact settlement batches. It does not measure the wheel or identify its runner. The relayer sends the transaction.

A witness to authorization.

A Hollywood hamster

The stunt-double hypothesis.Read alibi

The records describe a young male Syrian hamster. Nothing examined identifies a substitute animal or verifies a performer’s identity.

  1. Squeektoshi: biography & care policy ↗

    Species, sex, colour and voluntary activity are project assertions. Welfare compliance was not independently inspected.

  2. The WHEELY9000 ↗

    Wheel, magnet, Hall sensor, Pico, Pi and signing-chip responsibilities; independent video. No physical inspection.

  3. Whitepaper ↗

    2.1 billion cap, 10% launch premine, 6,900 SQK, no halvings. Sepolia exception: 5,600 SQK, no premine. Testnet SQK has no monetary value according to the docs.

  10. API definitions ↗ · What the system proves ↗

    Noon-to-noon days, freshness, units, measurement and authorization limits. A signature does not establish physical truth.

Case closedHamster.Evidence overwhelmingly fluffy

Squeektoshi is a hamster.

The answer was in the hamster documentation.

The project identifies a male Syrian hamster. The API records wheel activity; Ethereum records authorized settlements. The species conclusion follows the biography, not a cryptographic proof of hamsterhood.

Still open: the two core histories, the reward-policy conflict and independent verification of physical measurements. None requires investigating people.
