BLOCKCHAIN SOCIAL EXPERIMENT · PRE-LAUNCH
Can one million
strangers make
one stranger a
millionaire?
THE ONE-TIME RULE
ONE WALLET ADDRESS = ONE EURC
ONE TIME.
If launched, only the first valid 1 EURC transfer from a wallet address counts. Later transfers from the same address never receive another number. One person can control many wallets; nobody is identified or certified as a human.
1,000,000 WALLET ADDRESSES × 1 EURC = 1,000,000 EURC
Proposed rule. No transfers are accepted yet.
No noble cause. No fake promise. Just 1 EURC, once, onchain — with no strings attached.
When live: one wallet address gives exactly 1 EURC once. The recipient keeps it. You receive nothing of economic value — only a symbolic number. That is the entire experiment.
The number counts accepted 1 EURC gifts from distinct wallet addresses — not people. A wallet address is not a person. One person can control many wallets. The project does not identify, verify or certify humans; it only counts the first valid 1 EURC transfer from each wallet address.
Wait. Seriously?
Yes — eventually, and only as a gift.
This is the social experiment: will a million strangers choose to make one voluntary onchain gift of exactly 1 EURC on Base to one private individual, receiving nothing back? Proposed rule: one wallet address = one EURC, one time. That is all of it.
Not a purchase, price, fee or service. Not a subscription or membership. Not charity and not tax-deductible. Not an investment, loan, deposit, equity or token issuance. Not a lottery. Right now nothing is collected and nothing is promised.
EURC is a euro-denominated electronic-money token issued by a third party. It is not cash and not a bank deposit. Gross means accepted gifts × 1 EURC. Redemption or conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs may reduce net euro proceeds, which stay unknown until real accounting data exists. 1,000,000 EURC gross is never a guaranteed €1,000,000 net. Blockchain transactions are public and pseudonymous.

Gross gifts are accepted, non-returned gifts × 1 EURC. Conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs reduce net euro proceeds, which are not published yet. The count reflects accepted gifts and symbolic numbers, not identity-verified unique people.
FOUNDER AND PROPOSED RECIPIENT
Matteo Terenzio
Publicly identified. Not a charity, cause or investment story: the experiment asks whether strangers will give exactly 1 EURC while receiving nothing in return.
About Matteo and the experiment →First milestone
1
No milestone has been reached. 1,000,000 symbolic numbers are unassigned, which is all of them. The target may never be reached.
The Million Wall
A view of at most 1,000,000 symbolic numbers. 0 accepted, 1,000,000 unassigned. A number is symbolic only: nothing is bought, owned, sold or reserved.
Obvious questions
- Can I give now?
- No. No gifts are accepted, and no number can be reserved.
- Why would I give 1 EURC?
- Only if the question amuses you. It is a voluntary personal gift to one private individual, given in exchange for nothing.
- What do I get?
- Nothing of economic or contractual value — only a symbolic sequential number as an acknowledgement.
- Is it charity or tax-deductible?
- No. It is a personal gift to an individual, neither.
- Is it a purchase, service or investment?
- No. And not a lottery or prize entry either.
- Is 1,000,000 EURC the same as €1,000,000 received?
- No. That figure is gross, in EURC. Conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs reduce net euro proceeds, and the target may never be reached.
This might be the dumbest experiment on the Internet. That's why it might work.
It has not started. Any net proceeds become the recipient's personal assets and may be used at their sole discretion. There is no earmarking and no promised use. Gross means accepted gifts × 1 EURC. Redemption or conversion, network, custody, operating and tax costs may reduce net euro proceeds, which stay unknown until real accounting data exists. 1,000,000 EURC gross is never a guaranteed €1,000,000 net.
