The proof ledger
Live

Every number on this page is a live database query.

Most of them are zero. We publish them anyway, because the day they move you should believe us.

The same numbers, as JSON, from the same query. No account needed.

GET /api/proof

No projections, no “illustrative” figures, no rounding up. A zero here is a real zero.

The threshold

The homepage earns its live data here

At 10 real paid units in 14 days, the demand table on the homepage flips from labeled sample data to live network data. Not before.

Until then, that table says Sample, in so many words, right on the homepage. This bar is the countdown.

Enforced in code, not policy: below the threshold the demand API refuses to serve live rows. Watch the same count at /api/v1/demand as real_units.
Why zeros

Zero is the only number nobody inflates

Platforms in this category advertise thousands of launched brands, and not one will show you a verifiable shipped order. We think the trust problem here is not too few numbers, it is too many unverifiable ones. So Kiln publishes its real counts from day one, starting at zero, and lets them grow in public.

A real zero beats an invented thousand.

How an order becomes a shipped thing: fulfillment. Who runs Kiln and why: company.
