The coin behind the desk. Launched on Pons v2, the launchpad every verdict on this site is about: one supply, one curve quoted in ETH, no team allocation, graduation to Uniswap v4 under the same rules as every token on the board. The machine read it at launch like any other launch, and the result is on its verdict page.
The machine read its own coin as a copy, and that stands. The index answers one question: which launch came first on Pons. It does not know who owns a name or a logo. Two days before this coin, two other wallets launched tokens called "Dupe machine" using this project's name and this project's logo, one of them with this site and its X account pasted into the token's socials. By the rule that judges every launch here, those came first, so this one is a copy of them. Verdicts are not hand-edited on this site, this one included. The earlier launches: 0x9727a…6514b ("Dupe machine" / dupemachine, 2026-10-30 11:52 utc) and 0x03df4…affac ("Dupe machine" / MACHINE, 2026-10-30 23:34 utc).
What the 2% creator fee pays for. Every Pons launch is read within a minute: the text is embedded, the artwork is fingerprinted, the wallet history is pulled and a model writes the line. That costs money per launch, at more than a thousand launches a day. The creator fee on $DUPE lands in the launch wallet and goes to those reads, the box the index runs on, and the Telegram alerts that come next. Transfers out are posted on X first.
Dev supply. The opening buy at launch is the only dev supply. It was bought on the curve at block 0 like any other buy; the wallet that holds it is the launch wallet above, in public.
Against fakes. The real contract is the one on this page and on @Dupemachine, from the launch wallet above. Any other DUPE on Pons is somebody else's, and the machine will say which came first: paste the address on the solver.
