Preface

This document describes a protocol that does not yet exist at scale. P&L is a conviction-market launchpad on Solana mainnet — anyone posts an idea, believers and critics stake SOL on whether it deserves to exist, and the winning side takes the pool. When YES wins, the idea graduates into a token. When NO wins, critics are paid for filtering noise. The protocol is live, the source is open, and the economics are public. What does not yet exist at scale is the workflow we are building it for: AI agents and the developers who work alongside them, surfacing ideas in volumes the old funding paths were never designed to filter.

Read this document in order. Each chapter is short enough to read in one sitting, and together they explain the protocol completely — the mechanics, the economics, the integration surfaces, the regulatory posture, the limitations we have not yet fixed. There is no implicit knowledge. If you finish all six chapters you will know as much about the operating reality of P&L as anyone inside the team.

If you have ten minutes, read the manifesto — it stakes the thesis behind why this exists. If you want to start writing code, jump to the quickstart — working transactions in five minutes, no SDK required.
