By the Numbers

Honma, a rice trader of Sakata, watched the weather as carefully as the price. Along the road to Osaka he kept men with flags, so the numbers reached him first. By autumn he was the wealthiest commoner in Japan, and they made him a samurai for it.

The exact second Solana accepted that PYRE exists. Every token β€” burned, held, lost to a forgotten seed phrase, stranded in a wallet some guy never opened again β€” traces to this one transaction on pump.fun. No pre-mine. No team bag. No vesting cliff that unlocks suspiciously close to a rug. Don't trust us β€” the chain has the receipt.
Initial Mint
1,000,000,000
Every PYRE that will ever exist, lined up on day one. Pump.fun picks 1B for every memecoin it launches β€” no negotiating, no founder bag. From here the number only goes down, one burn at a time. The Circulating Supply below is what hasn't gone up in smoke yet.
Circulating Supply
β€”
How many PYRE tokens exist this very second. Started at exactly 1,000,000,000 because pump.fun, like every memecoin platform before it, refuses to mint a more dignified initial supply. The number only ever shrinks β€” every BurnChecked tx eats from it. Sparkline traces the descent.
Price
β€”
What one PYRE costs in real United States dollars right now, per Jupiter's price oracle. Sub-cent prices render in scientific notation so the leading zeros don't eat the entire card. The line below is what twenty-four hours of degen attention looks like translated into a percentage.
Market Cap
β€”
What does the circulating supply multiplied by the current price equal, children? Very good β€” the market cap! Say it with reverence. Moves with price action and the slow contraction of supply; structurally deflationary because tokens only ever leave the room.
PYRE Burned
β€”
Total tokens that have been escorted off the chain. Read directly from on-chain supply (initial 1B βˆ’ live getTokenSupply), so this number cannot be faked, inflated, or politely returned. Every figure here corresponds to a transaction sitting in a block somewhere; you can verify by burning one yourself.
Burners
β€”
Distinct wallets that have ever thrown anything on the pyre. A weak proxy for unique humans (one wallet per dog, four wallets per crypto-native human). The same wallet burning ten times still counts as one burner here β€” though each individual burn opens its own slot up top.
24h Burn Volume
β€”
Total PYRE incinerated in the last twenty-four hours, summed across every wallet. The clearest near-term measure of "is the leaderboard moving." Tomorrow's number replaces today's. Sparkline shows daily totals over the last ten days β€” every spike was someone choosing to be famous.
Avg Burn Size
β€”
Mean PYRE per burn over the trailing ten days. Roughly: what a leaderboard slot costs when a typical degen decides today's the day. Small recent burns still outrank large day-old whales β€” see the heat math above; the universe corrects for size.
Visitors Today
β€”
Page views in the last twenty-four hours, counted cookielessly via Cloudflare Web Analytics β€” no cookies, no fingerprinting, no IP harvest. The leading ~ is honest: Cloudflare's GraphQL endpoint rounds hourly counts to the nearest ten for privacy when traffic is small, so the number you see is an approximation until the fire grows large enough that the rounding noise becomes negligible. The number of literal eyeballs your slot can land in front of inside a single rotation of the planet. The spikes in the sparkline are usually a tweet.
Visitors 7d
β€”
Trailing-week page views β€” same Cloudflare privacy-rounding caveat as the card above, hence the ~. The reach a slot accumulates if it holds the top ranks long enough to outlast a few news cycles before heat decay slides it down to the backburner. Sparkline shows daily totals over ten days β€” useful for noticing whether the project is being watched or merely existed.

UK /paΙͺΙ™/ US /paΙͺr/ rhymes with fire, dire, "your retirement plan"
n. A heap of combustible material β€” typically wood β€” assembled for the ceremonial burning of a body. "They built a pyre of cedar and laid him upon it."

PYRE
cremation Β· sacrifice Β· attention economy

The pyre (Anc. Gr. πυρά, romanized purΓ‘; from πῦρ pΓ»r, "fire") is the oldest piece of human infrastructure that still performs its original function. Archaeological evidence of cremation pyres in the Levant dates to roughly 7000 BCE, predating the wheel, the alphabet, and the limited liability company by several thousand years.

In Bronze Age Europe, pyre flame-height conferred social status; charcoal residues at the Salorno-Dos de la Forca site in the Adige Valley (1150–950 BCE) yielded over 64 kg of cremated remains across eight generations of one family β€” a literal intergenerational burn schedule.

In the Vedic tradition, the Antyesti rite β€” "the last sacrifice" β€” formalized the pyre as one of the sixteen samskaras, the body returned to its five elements via mango-wood and ghee. A traditional Hindu pyre burns 500–600 kg of wood across six hours; an estimated 50–60 million trees are pyred annually in India alone.

In Greek religion, πυρά referred equally to the funeral pyre and to the altar-fire on which portions of an animal sacrifice were burnt as an offering. The semantic distance between these uses was, to the Greek mind, zero. Something was given to the fire; the fire took it. The accounting ended there.

In Roman and Germanic custom, pyres were public, vertical, and theatrical β€” a final post by which a life was measured. Open-air cremation has since been outlawed in most of the West (UK, Cremation Act 1902), and the rite has migrated indoors, into furnaces, into spreadsheets, and β€” most recently β€” onto the Solana mainnet, where the pyre takes the form of a Token-2022 BurnChecked instruction with a memo attached, and the supply itself visibly contracts.

Across every recorded culture that has lit one, the pyre has carried a single, stable meaning: this thing is over, and I want everyone to see that it is over. The combustible has always varied. The point has not.

addendum Β· contemporary usage Β· 2026

obs. The persistent assumption that "burning money" is unusual, foolish, or exceptional behavior β€” held by a dwindling number of holdouts, mostly ETF guys and certain uncles β€” has been quietly retired. By the spring of 2026 the question is no longer whether you are burning money but onto which pyre, and with what aesthetic.

Your S&P 500 fund, real return adjusted for the cost of staying alive in a coastal city, is a slow pyre with very tasteful carved-oak finishings. Your rent is a monthly pyre on which you place a third of your post-tax income and receive, in return, the right to keep your books somewhere. Your streaming subscriptions are seventeen tea-light pyres burning quietly in a side room you have not entered since 2023. Your "high-yield" savings account is a pyre someone built out of damp leaves and is charging you to look at.

PYRE proposes only one modest reform: name the pyre. Make it explicit. Put it on the leaderboard. Get a clickable link out of it. The fire was always going to take it. At least this way the receipt is on-chain and someone, somewhere, has to scroll past your URL on the way to theirs.

The Rules
βœ“  What flies
βœ“
Any legal product, project, or community β€” crypto, SaaS, art, music, memes, manifestos, whatever. If it's legal, it gets a slot or a wall entry.
βœ“
Every transaction is its own entry. Each one carries its own URL, message, X handle, timestamp, and on-chain receipt. The same wallet can hold many at once.
βœ“
Burn as many times as you want. Heat per slot decays like a Reddit "hot" feed: amount Γ· (hours_since + 2)1.5. Bigger and fresher both climb.
βœ“
Change your pitch anytime. Just burn again with a new memo β€” that's a new slot. The old one keeps decaying until it slides to the backburner.
βœ“
Fresh burns climb fast. A 10K burn from the last hour can outrank a 100K burn from yesterday. The pyre rewards recency β€” that's the quid pro quo.
βœ“
Links open in a new tab. Your URL is live, clickable, and in front of every degen watching the leaderboard.
βœ“
The bigger the burn, the bigger the slot. Rank 1 gets the sponsored hero card above the fold. Ranks 2–6 get medium cards. Ranks 7–16 get compact rows. Below #16 you cool off on the backburner.
βœ—  What gets pulled
βœ—
Hate speech, slurs, or anything targeting people based on race, religion, gender, sexuality, or nationality. No dog whistles. No exceptions. Burn refunded? No β€” the burn is gone. That's on you.
βœ—
Illegal content of any kind β€” scams, fraud, counterfeit goods, anything prohibited by law. We cooperate fully with any lawful request.
βœ—
NSFW or adult content. Keep it safe for all audiences. This is a public leaderboard.
βœ—
Impersonation of other projects, people, or brands without clear permission or obvious parody context.
βœ—
Spam-flooding / wash trading. A wallet drowning the board in low-value repeat slots, or circular activity inflating ranks, gets pulled and flagged publicly.
βœ—
Final say is human. The GitHub maintainers are the last word. We're chill β€” but we're not neutral. The culture of this leaderboard matters to us.

Disclaimer (please read; we're serious about not being serious)

This page is a static document and a 5-minute cron job. It is not a service. Treat it like a bonfire someone set up in a vacant lot: occasionally useful, occasionally on, occasionally not.

TL;DR β€” the pyre burns. Sometimes the pyre is out. There is no fire department.

Colophon β€” with thanks, since none of this would exist if it cost anything

PYRE was assembled by @AlphaCove. The full extent of his infrastructural contribution is: he bought a domain name. The rest of this page is duct-taped together out of free tiers and good will, as follows.

There is no team. There is no roadmap. There is no funding round. There are no milestones, no vesting, no foundation, no DAO, no "we will integrate with X," no "Q3 we ship Y." The creator's job ended when the static page deployed and the cron started polling. What you see is what there is. If something breaks, the chain still works. If the chain breaks, your leaderboard slot is the least of your concerns.
