The Syndicate
what the cartel keeps · counted from public chain data · owed to nobody
A Bootlegger is not the only thing in a bootlegger's cellar. This is a headcount of everything else the holders of this collection keep across the chain — taken the way the Ledger takes any census: by reading the public record and printing the total.
The census opens after reveal
There is nothing to count until there are Bootleggers to count it for. The first tally is taken at the reveal block and printed here — same block, same public data, reproducible by anyone who cares to check the arithmetic.
Doors open Sept 1.
Read this part twice. A census of what Bootleggers holders own elsewhere on this chain, counted from public data. Nothing here is pooled, held, managed, or owed by anyone. A Bootlegger is not a claim on any of it — these assets belong to the wallets that hold them and to nobody else. The Syndicate is a scoreboard of other people's property, printed for bragging rights. It confers no ownership, no share, no dividend and no claim of any kind, and the project never takes custody of anything counted here.
