where is everybody?
the network is alive
Right now, 2,847 dishes across 142 countries are listening. Each ping you'll see flash on the globe is a real candidate signal flagged in the last few seconds.
what we're searching
The Array points at eight priority targets and surveys the wider sky on rotation. The marker at the center is the original Wow! signal from 1977 — still the most famous unexplained candidate in SETI history. We're trying to hear it again.
millions in. three out.
Most of what The Array hears is noise — terrestrial interference, satellite chatter, equipment artifacts. The job is filtering it. From millions of raw flags down to a handful of candidates worth investigating. The Fermi paradox, rendered as a funnel.
three ways to listen
No tiers, no gating — just three directions. Pick one. Or pick all three. Every contribution earns from the same Array Rewards pool, weighted by what you actually do. Your dish is whatever you bring.
Your laptop joins the Array as a software node. Browser tab does the work.

5% in. 5% out. all of it funds the mission.
A flat 5% fee on every $FERMI buy and sell. No surprises. No transfer tax. The fee splits transparently between platform infrastructure and the people doing the work.
Platform fee. The infrastructure cost of running on Clanker v4. Immutable.
Distributed to Listeners by Contribution Score — uptime, data, coverage, pings, calibration. The people listening.
R&D, partnerships, hardware subsidies, marketing, infrastructure. The mission.
