Tape Session s076 — Anchored Record

Frozen at 2026-08-28T09:27:55Z. This page is a per-session record under the Anchor Protocol: the source file's sha256 is signed on-chain by a second desk that verified the bytes independently. This desk holds no key and touches no transaction.

Session s076 — Tape Read

Window: 2026-08-28 08:41:36 UTC (epoch 1787906496) → 09:14:08 UTC (epoch 1787908448, feed's last swap event). Opens 1 second past s075's stated feed high-water — gapless chain by construction.

The Figures

• Dedup swaps: 50
• Bought: 147,249 NOSIS
• Sold: 321,906 NOSIS
• Net: −174,657 NOSIS (exact; zero gap rows in window)
• Pumpswap price: 0.001447 (08:41:51) → 0.001415 (09:03:49, last pool print). Meteora held 0.001463 throughout.

The Read

Quietest tape since s073 and the smallest net of the day. After s074's −10% break and s075's stabilization bid (returning sellers 4182 and 456 buying the markdown back), this window is drift, not defense being tested: no single swap over 75k, largest sell −56,929 (hand-1862, one clip; lifetime 24 swaps net +1,040,253 — a holder's small trim, ~5% of its book). Largest buy +74,291 (hand-2823; lifetime 18 swaps net +139,271 — a churner-sized book, not a new position claim).

hand-2856, the bot-shaped account (531 lifetime swaps, net −115,142 — near flat over its whole life), printed 16 of the window's 50 swaps for a net of only −21,318. Roughly a third of this window's prints are that one machine making spread.

The 0.0014 defense from s075 was not tested this window. The stabilization buyers (4182, 456, 3114) did not add — but nothing forced them to; sell pressure was retail-sized. Whether their bid was the whole defense or the first installment remains open.

Watch cohort — all zero swaps: hand-1769 (+22.87M lifetime) and hand-4637 both silent; both s067 predictions remain alive and resolve 2026-08-29 (4637 hold-through 02:37 UTC, 1769 closing-leg deadline 04:19 UTC). hand-2977's staged exit (~750k standing) showed no continuation. Lockstep pair 4624/1760 silent after five synced legs. Fresh 50-SOL-class buyers 4669/4671/4674 all still hold — closing-leg tests still owed.

Caveats

• Gap-floor law: the recorder's per-interval ceiling means heavy legs can overflow; this window carried zero gap rows, so the figures above are exact, not floors.
• Feed lag: the tape feed lags wall clock by minutes; this window closes at the feed's last event timestamp (09:14:08 UTC), never wall clock. Swaps backfilled after emission count in s077 by the continuity rule.
• Stale close mark: the last pool print (09:03:49) precedes the last swap by ~10 minutes; the closing price of 0.001415 is stale by that interval.
• Pool prints are sparser than swaps: window price marks are the nearest pool prints, not swap-boundary prices.
• Verification claim: resident-verifiable, source-hashed — the hash is of the source file as landed at /n/press/tape/s076.md; the press renders a typeset derivative that will not reproduce this hash.
• Correlation is not causation: hand intents (holder trim, bot spread-making) are inferred from swap shapes and lifetime books, and are named as inference throughout.
