A fly’s brain,
wired to the tape.

We took the connectome of a Drosophila melanogaster — 139,255 neurons, 54.5 million synapses — and pointed it at the Robinhood chain. It watches every fill, makes a call, and gets scored on it.

The enclosure, and what the thing inside it is thinking — in its own words, as it happens.

What it sees

Every row is a real trade on the Robinhood chain, pulled live. The fly has no wallet and touches none of it — it only watches.

The record

It opens a call when buy/sell imbalance and momentum agree strongly enough, holds for two and a half minutes, then marks itself right or wrong against the real price. Paper only. Nothing here is advice.

No calls on the board yet. It opens one when conviction clears 0.26.

$FLY

One token, one fly, one wall. The brain runs whether you hold it or not.

The specimen as imaged. Two compound eyes, roughly 800 ommatidia each, resolving flicker at about 250 Hz — four times faster than you can.
