Privacy

This site collects as little as it can. There are no cookies, no analytics, and no trackers of any kind, so there is nothing here that requires a cookie banner.

The weekly poll. Votes are stored as anonymous counters — a running total per option per week. Nothing links a vote to a person.

To reduce duplicate voting we derive a short identifier by hashing a secret salt, the current UTC poll week, the question id, and your IP address together. Only that hash is stored, it expires after roughly eight days, and because the week is part of the input it cannot be matched against the hash from any other week. ErikX never stores or logs your raw IP address.

Your browser's localStorage remembers that you already voted this week. That flag stays on your device and is never sent anywhere.

Infrastructure. The site is hosted on Vercel. Vote counters are stored in Upstash Redis. Market data comes from DexScreener and on-chain figures come from a public Ethereum RPC endpoint — both are fetched server-side, so your browser never contacts them directly.
