Burn it.
Get compute.
$FORKBOMB does one thing. You burn it, and the burn's dollar value becomes credit for Forkbomb's hosted GPU coding model. Self-hosting stays free and MIT. The token buys convenience and scale, not permission.

01The loop
Burn, verify, credit, fork().
One transaction from your wallet. The server reads it from Solana, prices it and credits your workspace. No wallet connection is needed to verify a burn: the transaction signature is enough.
- 01
Open a workspace
In the app, at launch. You get a workspace ID and an API key for the CLI.
ws_… - 02
Burn $FORKBOMB
From your own wallet, in one transaction, with your workspace ID in the memo.
forkbomb:<workspaceId> - 03
We read it on Solana
Finalized, the right mint, a real burn, one matching memo. Then it is priced in USD and credited.
- 04
Spend it on forks
The CLI's hosted engine calls our GPU coding model and draws down your credit.

02How credit is priced
Priced in dollars, at burn time.
A burn token with a fixed exchange rate breaks as soon as the price moves. If the token goes up, burning costs more than the credit is worth and the utility dies. $FORKBOMB credit is set in USD from the price around the moment your burn landed, so a burn is worth the same at any market cap.
# per burn credit_usd = tokens_burned × price price = min( last_sample_before(burn), twap(burn − 15m … burn + 5m), first_sample_after(burn) )
- unit
- Credit is in US dollars, not tokens.
- window
- 15 minutes before your burn to 5 minutes after it.
- price
- Anchored to the last sample before the burn (at most 30 minutes old). The window's time-weighted average and later prices can only lower it.
- sources
- Jupiter, with DexScreener as a fallback. A quote far off the last sample needs the other source to agree.
- fixed
- The price is set by when the burn landed, not by when you submit it.
- large
- A very large single burn is held for a person to check before it credits.
| Case | Fixed-rate burn | $FORKBOMB |
|---|---|---|
| Credit per burn | Set in tokens. A fixed amount of credit per token, whatever the token trades at. | Set in dollars: the burn's value at the time-weighted price when it landed. |
| Token price goes up 10× | Each burn now costs 10× more for the same credit. Nobody sensible burns. | You burn 10× fewer tokens for the same credit. Still worth using. |
| Token price goes down 10× | Credit becomes 10× cheaper to farm. | You burn 10× more tokens for the same credit. |
| Burn into a short spike | Not applicable. | A short spike barely moves the window average, and the lowest price wins. |
Waiting doesn't help either way: the price is fixed by the block your burn landed in. Every burn's price and credit is public on the ledger.
03What credit buys
Compute. Nothing else.
Credit only pays for hosted compute. The hosted pool is online; the rest comes after it.
- online
Hosted coding model
Forks run on our GPU coding model through an OpenAI-compatible API. No Claude plan or API key needed.
- later
More forks per race
Run wider races than your own machine or plan comfortably handles.
- later
Bigger models
Larger hosted models for harder tasks, billed from the same credit.
- later
Warm GPUs
Keep the pool warm so the first fork doesn't wait on a cold start.
Three engines. Two of them never touch the token.
Self-hosting stays free and MIT. Pick an engine per run; Forkbomb hosted is the only one paid with $FORKBOMB credit.
| Engine | Flag | Paid with | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | --engine claude-code | Your Claude Pro or Max plan | works today |
| Anthropic API | --engine api | Your Anthropic API key | works today |
| Forkbomb hosted | --engine hosted | Credit from burning $FORKBOMB | opens at launch |
04What it is
What $FORKBOMB is, and what it isn't.
Credit is used up when you spend it. That is the whole design: a prepaid way to pay for compute, nothing you hold for a return.
It is
A way to pay for hosted compute
Burn it, get USD credit, spend the credit on forks that run on our GPUs.
Optional
The CLI runs on your Claude plan or your Anthropic API key with no token at all.
Checkable
Every burn and the credit it produced is on the public ledger, linked to its transaction.
It is not
Equity or a share
No ownership, no votes, no claim on the project or the people behind it.
Revenue share or dividends
Holding the token pays you nothing.
Buybacks
We don't buy the token back or support its price.
Staking or yield
There is nothing to stake and no yield to earn.
Transferable or refundable credit
Credit stays in the workspace it was burned for, and burns can't be undone.
Affiliated with Anthropic
Anthropic hasn't reviewed, endorsed or sponsored Forkbomb or the token.
05Disclaimer
Read this before you do anything.
Plain language, not marketing. If any of it surprises you, don't buy the token.
Not an investment
$FORKBOMB is a utility token for paying for hosted compute. It isn't offered as an investment, a security, a share, a loan or a deposit. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell or a request to buy anything.
No expectation of profit
Don't buy it expecting the price to rise. Nobody promises it will, and nobody is working to make it rise: there are no buybacks, no staking and no yield. Its value can go to zero.
Credit is used up
Burning is permanent. Credit has no cash value, can't be withdrawn, refunded or moved to another workspace, and only pays for hosted compute. A burn without a valid memo for your workspace credits nothing.
The hosted service is new
The hosted pool is online but new. Prices per request, models and limits may change, and the service may be slow or unavailable. Self-hosting with your own Claude plan or API key always works without the token.
No revenue share, no rights
Holding $FORKBOMB gives you no share of revenue, no dividends, no voting rights, no ownership and no claim against the project, its contributors or anyone else.
Not affiliated with Anthropic
Forkbomb can run forks on Claude Code or the Anthropic API. Anthropic has not reviewed, endorsed, sponsored or partnered with Forkbomb or $FORKBOMB. Claude and Anthropic are trademarks of Anthropic.
Risk
Tokens are volatile and markets for small tokens are thin. Smart contracts, wallets and exchanges can fail or be exploited. Scammers copy names and addresses. Only use money you can afford to lose entirely.
Do your own research
Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal or tax advice. Rules on tokens differ by country, and checking yours is on you. Talk to a licensed professional if you need advice.

The public ledger lists each burn, its USD value and the credit it produced, with a link to the transaction. It is empty until launch, and it will never show a made-up row.
