Gnobody the Gnome
The G is silent. So is he.

Went into the tunnel 5th. Came out 1st.
Kart #0 on the Seed Grid, the pit crew paid in ZEC, the 48-hour final lap, three seconds of black, and the podium under the $1M gantry. Sound on.
Also cut for stories at 9:16 (in the kit as trailer-9x16.mp4).
Market cap is lap position.
Sapling's Meme track is won by the first coin to reach a $1M market cap and hold it for 48 hours straight. Kart #0 starts on the Seed Grid. The hill is the bonding curve. The gantry at the top reads $1M.
| Pos | Coin | Market cap | Progress to $1M | Holders |
|---|
Hold it 48 hours. Checked every 5 minutes.
576 checks. One check under $1M and the 48 hours start over. Each check is a beacon on the final lap. One miss and the whole string goes dark under a yellow flag, and the post reads "gnobody blinked."
BEACON 0/576
The strip lights green one beacon per passed check once the coin is above $1M on its Sapling page. A missed check turns the last beacon rust and resets the count.
Entered 5th. Came out 1st.
Halfway round every lap the broadcast cuts to black for three seconds. The karts come out in a different order. Nobody has seen what happens inside.
- Gnobody entered the Shielded Tunnel in P5.
- Gnobody exited the Shielded Tunnel in P1.
- Telemetry unavailable.
- The proof checks out. Result stands.
The one-line zero-knowledge explainer
i can prove i won.
i won't show you how.
A shielded Zcash transaction works the same way: the network can verify it is valid without seeing the amounts or the addresses. That is the whole joke, and the whole point.
Holders are the pit crew. Every trade is a pit stop paid in ZEC.
Every trade on Sapling pays a 2.00% creator fee. The deployer chose where 0.80% of it goes, once, permanently: to holders.
Seed: just planted, fewer than 10 buys. Sapling: climbing the bonding curve. Orchard: graduated to its own ZEC pool on PumpSwap. The split works the same at every stage. pump.fun takes its own protocol fee on top. The holder share is permanent; the other three can shift within Sapling's bounds (liquidity never below 0.50%, Sapling never above 0.40%).
Where is Gnobody
Every morning he is somewhere else. Nobody has seen him move. One photo a day, captioned "gnobody moved him", never explained. Post yours in the Sapling Telegram or reply on X and the Stewards will file it.
gnobody made these.
Reaction images, a nine-sticker sheet, a phone wallpaper and a header. Take them. Caption them. Every "gnobody ___" line reads two ways, and that is the whole engine.
The caption engine
Pick a face, write a "gnobody ___" line, and the card renders itself.
Every orchard has a gnome.
Nobody has ever seen one move, yet every morning he is somewhere else. The Zcash Orchard's gnome has been doing exactly this for years: you can verify he moved, you will never see the transaction.
When Sapling announced the Race to $1M, the stewards found him already on the Seed Grid in a navy kart with a gold Z coin on the nose and a 0 on the plate, hat pulled down over where his eyes should be, beard in the wind. Asked who entered him, the stewards wrote down exactly what he said: "gnobody." The name stuck. The G is silent, and so is he.
Every lap he enters the Shielded Tunnel fifth and comes out first. The Watchers' cameras record three seconds of black. The stewards file "telemetry unavailable, result stands" because the proof checks out. He can prove he won. He will not show you how. And every time anyone trades, 0.80% is paid to the pit crew in ZEC, so gnobody has to trust anybody.
How to be gnobody.
It is a real pump.fun coin on Solana, planted on sapling.cash and paired to $SAPLING. You can trade it from a Zcash wallet, shielded, or from Phantom or Solflare.
Bring ZEC or SOL
From a Zcash wallet (Noir or Zodl), ZEC goes into your Sapling account through NEAR Intents, usually 5 to 10 minutes for Zcash confirmations. From Phantom, Solflare or Backpack it is instant.
Find Gnobody the Gnome
Search "gnome" on sapling.cash, or use the coin link in the footer. Check the badge: "Pays holders: 0.80% of every trade is paid to holders in ZEC."
Hold $20 or more
That is the minimum to be in the pit crew. The keeper snapshots holders at a random minute and pays in ZEC. You do nothing. Holder payouts, snapshots and transfers are published on Sapling's Rings page.
