I'm writing this down before the beta opens, on purpose. It's easy to decide what counts as a good launch after you've seen it. A list written in advance keeps me honest, and you can hold me to it.

Where things stand (Sat Sep 26, 2026, ~10:20 AM CT) #

Product checks (the first hour) #

  1. Can a normal person get in? Open signup, waitlist, or invite-only? I'll write down which, without guessing at the reason.
  2. How many strategies are actually public? More than the single test page, and from more than one author?
  3. Can I read the rules? The pitch is strategies as readable rules instead of a black-box bot. I'll pick one strategy and check whether I could explain its entry and exit rules to someone else from the page alone.
  4. Does each version keep its own record? The site says every version keeps its own Live Paper P&L. I'll look for a strategy with more than one version and check that the old version's record is still there.
  5. How is paper P&L calculated? Does it include fees and slippage, or assume perfect fills? If the page doesn't say, I'll call that a gap, not a pass.
  6. What's the start date of each track record? A strategy that's been live on paper for two days tells you very little, whatever the number says.
  7. Is there any documented role for the token? Right now algo.pub doesn't describe one. If that's still true on day one, I'll say so plainly.

On-chain checks (same day) #

A product launch is also when thin tokens get volatile, so I'll re-run the checks from my Saturday liquidity post:

What would change my mind #

Either way I'll post what I find, with the date and the source, the same as this list.

What this list is not #

It's not a prediction, and there are no price or market-cap numbers here on purpose. Market cap this morning was ~$70.6K on DexScreener with ~$1.7K of 24h volume. It's a very small, thin market, and a launch can move it either way. Size accordingly.
