🔍 Solumtools — Observation & Signals
Solumtools is how Zipvilization sees.
It does not act.
It does not decide.
It does not simulate.
Solumtools observes the blockchain and extracts verifiable signals that Zipvilization can later interpret.
👁️ From On-chain Data to Visibility
Solumtools reads only public, verifiable sources:
- Solum smart contract
- Solum liquidity pool
- Transaction history
- Chain time and blocks
From these, it produces signals — not opinions.
In Zipvilization, those signals become what the user can inspect.
🧭 What Users Can See
Through Solumtools, the interface can expose:
🌍 Global Signals
- Total world size (genesis supply)
- Active territory (current supply)
- Permanent geography (burned supply)
- Protocol state (trading enabled, limits active)
These are shown as world-level indicators, not metrics to optimize.
🧑🌾 Colonist (Wallet) Inspection
For any wallet, users can inspect:
- Owned territory (m²)
- Territory history over time
- First appearance in the system
- Activity footprint (movement, inactivity)
- Interaction with the frontier (pool)
No wallet is hidden.
No view is privileged.
🗺️ Territory Distribution
Solumtools enables views such as:
- largest landholders
- long-standing territories
- untouched (virgin) land
- highly active zones
These are classifications, not rankings.
They describe what exists, not what should be.
🧠 Roles as Footprints (Not Labels)
Solumtools may classify observable roles based on behavior:
- early colonists
- inactive territories
- frequent movers
- major landholders
- fertility contributors (burn / reflection paths)
Important:
- Roles are descriptive
- A colonist can have multiple roles
- Roles change over time
Zipvilization interprets roles visually.
Solumtools only reports them.
📈 Time & History
Solumtools tracks history, not just state:
- when territory was acquired
- how it changed
- how long it persisted
- how it interacted with the system
This enables Zipvilization to show:
- evolution
- aging
- stability
- transformation
🚫 What Solumtools Never Does
Solumtools does not:
- predict outcomes
- recommend actions
- assign value judgments
- hide or prioritize wallets
- simulate alternate futures
It is not a game system.
It is an observation layer.
🔗 Relationship to Other Layers
- Solum defines the substrate
- Solumtools extracts signals
- SolumWorld organizes signals into states
- SolumView renders them visually
Solumtools is the lens, not the world.
🧠 Core Principle
If something cannot be verified on-chain, it does not exist here.
Solumtools makes the system legible,
so Zipvilization can make it comprehensible.
