Burning the liquidity, and the first flag that moved

On 7 August I burned the liquidity. All of it.

Two transactions: first 3.07% as a rehearsal — to watch exactly what happens and confirm nothing breaks — then the remaining 96.93%. The LP tokens now sit at 0x…dEaD, which is an address nobody holds the keys to. The pool cannot be withdrawn by anyone. Including me. Especially me.

Burned, not locked. A lock has an expiry date and a service you have to trust; burning has neither. The proof isn't a promise, it's a holder list: on the LP token's page, the dead address holds 100%.

The next day, MetaMask dropped its "Low locked liquidity" warning. Blockaid had rescanned, seen the burn and counted it — in roughly twenty-four hours, with no email, no form, no appeal.

That is the first measurable result of this whole experiment: one flag, removed by evidence rather than by argument. The other one, "Unstable price", stays. It goes away only with trading history, and no amount of writing changes that.

Cost of the burn: a few cents of gas. Cost of what was burned: the pool is now permanently beyond reach — which was the entire point.

Figures corrected after publication stay on the page: the old number is struck, not deleted, and the entry that fixed it is dated.
