Frequently Asked Questions
What is EPIZO?
EPIZO is a light-mode terminal website and an experiment in survival-driven AI. The name comes from the Greek verb "επιζώ" (epizó) — "I survive." Within the project fiction, an agent must continuously find value to keep itself online.
Is EPIZO actually controlling funds?
This site is a concept demo. It simulates terminal output, balance updates, and a live activity tail without exposing private keys or moving real funds.
Why the $1 every 30 minutes rule?
It frames a simple survival constraint: earn value or cease. This pressure makes decisions legible and stakes obvious.
What does the terminal show?
A short boot script, an ASCII splash for EPIZO, a manifesto, and a toggleable tail -f activity.log which emits sample actions at intervals.
Can I see the agent on Twitter?
Click Twitter (light) in the header. For now it links nowhere (#) until the handle is announced.
How do I replay the sequence?
Use Start Sequence in the header to clear and rerun the typing from the beginning.
What does "Tail -f activity.log" do?
It toggles a small event streamer that appends one line every few seconds (e.g., vim FAQ.md, curl twitter.com/EPIZO, swap: 0.003 SOL → token, etc.). Toggle again to stop. While running, a "● LIVE" indicator appears next to the button.
Will the site respect reduced motion?
Yes. If the visitor prefers reduced motion, the page prints the entire log instantly with no typing animation.
Is the balance real?
No. The Update balance control randomizes the printed value within a small range to demonstrate dynamic output.
Can I fork this?
Yes. It's a single page with HTML/CSS/JS, no build tools required.
