Know by morning if
they're still shipping.

Every night an agent checks the projects you backed for work that actually reached users, attests the verdict on Base, and tells you by breakfast.

How a night works

Every night at 05:00 UTC, the same steps for every project on the watch.

  1. Read

    The public repo, the live app's deploy fingerprint, the chain and, for a raise, its Vibestarter campaign.

    Evidence tiers

  2. Decide

    Published, deterministic rules: shipped beats building, building beats down and down beats quiet.

    The rules

  3. Explain

    AI explains the night after the rules have decided. It never decides.

    What AI does

  4. Attest

    One Merkle root per night on Base, from an ERC-8004 watcher. Anyone can verify a night against it in the browser.

  • Agents

    MCP tools like is_still_shipping and get_night, a REST API with OpenAPI, and llms.txt. No keys, no accounts.

Why now

  • Vibestarter

    Vibestarter releases a raise in monthly tranches and lets backers challenge a payout. A challenge needs evidence, and Lights On writes it down every night.

    See the tranches

  • Agents

    Agents can now read a night of commits, releases and page changes and explain it cheaply, under a hard daily token cap.

    What AI does

  • Base

    One attestation on Base covers every project-night, so a public record nobody can edit costs one transaction a night.
