Low-Background

The only asset AI can't print.

Everything people wrote, coded, drew and recorded before 30 November 2022 is now a closed supply. AI can copy it, but it can never make more of it. STEEL proves which data is from before the cutoff, locks it in a vault on Solana, and licenses it to the AI labs that need clean training data.

Science solved this problem once already.

After the first nuclear tests in 1945, every new batch of steel carried traces of fallout. Instruments that measure radiation can't use it, so labs still salvage steel from ships that sank before the tests. It's called low-background steel.

Data has hit the same wall. Since ChatGPT went public, new writing and images on the web can't be assumed human, and models trained on machine output get worse. Human data from before the cutoff is the clean supply, and nobody is pricing it yet.

“Indiscriminate use of model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects in the resulting models.”

From an old hard drive to a licensed ingot.

A verified dataset is called an ingot. Each one passes four stages, all enforced by the vault program.

  1. Submit

    A contributor registers the dataset's fingerprint and creation date, and puts up a 20,000 STEEL bond.

  2. Attest

    Three validators, each staking at least 250,000 STEEL, check the evidence and sign for it.

  3. Challenge

    For 7 days anyone can dispute it. A proven fake costs every validator who signed 30% of their stake.

  4. License

    AI labs pay USDC for a year of access. 60% goes straight to the contributor.

1,000,000,000 STEEL. Never one more.

Every token starts on the public launch curve. There is no team allocation, no presale and no reserve held back.

ShareWho holds itTerms
Public 100%BuyersLaunched on Pump.fun. Everyone buys from the same curve at the same price. When the curve fills, liquidity moves to the trading pool automatically and can't be pulled.
Team 0%NobodyThe team gets no free tokens. Any tokens the creator holds were bought on the curve like everyone else, and the creator wallet is public.

What the token does

StakeValidators lock 250,000+ STEEL to sign for a dataset. Signing for a fake costs them 30%.
BondContributors put up 20,000 per dataset, refunded once it's verified.
ChallengeAnyone can dispute an ingot with a 50,000 STEEL bond and win half the slashed stake.
BurnPart of every license fee buys STEEL on the market and burns it.

How contributors get paid

Contributors and validators are paid from a treasury funded by creator trading fees and license revenue. Early datasets earn the most. Exact reward rates will be published before the vault opens.

Don't trust us. Check it.

Every claim below is public on the Solana blockchain. Anyone can verify it on an explorer such as Solscan.

Supply can't grow

At launch

The mint authority is revoked when the token is created. No more STEEL can ever be made.

Nobody can freeze your tokens

At launch

There is no freeze authority on the token.

No presale, no insiders

At launch

No private round, no whitelist. Everyone buys from the same curve.

No team allocation

At launch

All supply starts on the public curve. The creator gets no free tokens, and the creator wallet is public.

Same price for everyone

At launch

No presale or whitelist. Every buyer, including the creator, pays the curve price.

Liquidity can't be pulled

When the sale completes

When the curve fills, liquidity moves to the trading pool automatically. Nobody can pull it.

The vault is audited first

Before it holds funds

The vault program stays empty until an independent audit is published.

One real contract

At launch

The only genuine address will be posted here and on @LowBackgroundAI. Ignore any other.

ContractHxkvxPcE1HNpMnETsTKni8Nq59sMjHBZrEu4RYtLpumpPump.fun · SolscanDev wallet bought 1.2 SOL (about 4% of supply) at launch, like any buyer. The wallet is public.

Launch first. The vault opens after a published audit.

  1. Done

    Prepare

    Test-network rehearsal, first datasets, early lab partners.

  2. Done, 16 Oct 2026

    Launch

    Fair launch on Pump.fun. When the curve fills, trading moves to the pool automatically.

  3. Next

    Vault opens

    Genesis contributors first. Test-network demo, then audit, then validators join and the first ingots are verified.

  4. After the vault

    Licensing

    Labs buy licenses. Monthly burn reports.

  5. Later

    Decentralize

    A staked jury replaces the council; buybacks move fully on-chain.

Genesis contributors: the list is open.

The first datasets in the vault set its standard and earn the most. If you hold human-made data from before 30 November 2022, tell us about it now.

  • What countsOld hard drives and backups, forum or mailing-list archives, code repositories, photo and audio libraries, writing, research notes. Made by people, before the cutoff.
  • What you needThe rights to license it, and some outside proof of its age: archive snapshots, public commits, dated emails, original camera data.
  • How to joinDM @LowBackgroundAI with what the data is, roughly how big, and how you can prove its date. Don't send the data itself yet.

Genesis contributors get first access to the vault when it opens. Nothing is paid out until the vault is live and audited, and no one from the project will ever ask for your seed phrase or for payment.
