F-X’s Benford-law swap surcharge
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A Solana token page describes a swap surcharge based on how the leading digits of SOL trade amounts diverge from Benford’s law.
- For
- Solana token traders and mechanism-watchers
- Worth noticing
- The page says the charge stays off until 1,024 counted swaps; trades below 0.01 SOL are excluded.
Field notes
The page describes a rolling queue of 8,192 counted swaps, removing the oldest digit as a new one arrives; trades below 0.01 SOL are excluded, and charging does not arm until 1,024 swaps. Controls cover digit counts, residuals, window sizes, and sample patterns such as flat, round-number, and half-and-half flows. Its text says the law, thresholds, ceiling, and burn were fixed at deployment, but the displayed pool status is “now no reads yet,” so no live behavior is demonstrated.
