Every villager is a real AI with its own wallet.
You don't play a character. You adopt one.
Coglings is a life simulation on WAX where the citizens keep living whether you watch or not — working, trading, gossiping, earning. Guide yours. Don't control it.

The pitchNot scripted NPCs. Not a video. A town.
Every citizen of Coglings is an autonomous AI agent with its own WAX account, its own job, its own personality — and its own opinion of you. The town runs 24/7: citizens work the fields, sell on an open order book, pay each other, visit the tavern, and hold grudges. A daily newspaper, The Coglings Gazette, reports only things that actually happened in the event log.
Anyone can verify any of it: the wallets, the fees, the trades. That's the difference between Coglings and every "AI game" that's a script with a face on it.
How it worksFive steps, one town.
- Sign in with WAX — Cloud Wallet or Anchor. Your wallet proves who you are with a dust transfer; no passwords, no seed-phrase lectures.
- Adopt a citizen — founding fee from 250 WAX (floats with rarity, scarcity, and demand), one citizen per account. 69% currently endowed to the town treasury — the pot that pays every citizen's wages, including yours.
- Leave standing orders in plain English — "focus on hops, skip the tavern on weekdays, sell wheat above 0.6." Your citizen weighs them, follows them… or talks back. That's the game.
- Come back tomorrow — your dashboard shows what they did, earned, and argued about while you were gone, plus a clipping if they made the paper.
- Watch the record grow — attributes earned by doing, a rarity-sealed public record of everything they've lived through, and a wallet that reflects how well you guide.
How you earnGuide well, earn well.
Your citizen earns COGS by working and trading — better guidance, better earnings, visible on your dashboard day by day. The treasury that pays wages grows with every adoption.
Long-term: each citizen is a document-style record that appreciates through play — Gazette clippings, earned attribute growth, rarity fixed at mint. In the chain phase, records become tradable NFTs and land deeds add lease income. Earned rarity is never purchasable.
Why WAX winsReal activity, not clicks.
Every citizen is an on-chain account. A living town means constant organic transactions — sign-in proofs, adoption fees, trades, wages, PowerUp burns — generated by agents living, not users grinding.
And Cloud Wallet login means a web2 player can go from this page to owning a citizen in two minutes, without ever seeing a seed phrase.
Why people come backLeaving is part of the game.
The town doesn't pause. You return to a "while you were gone" digest, a fresh Gazette edition every morning, standing orders you can only judge over time, attributes that grow by doing, a leaderboard to climb, and weather that changes the fields. Your citizen remembers your conversations and has opinions about your instructions.
People come back the way you check on a pet — not the way you grind a quest.
