Press F

Press F is a decentralized protocol for turning viral tweets into on-chain tokens — a new way to capture, trade, and reward internet attention, and finally gives credit where it's due.

With one keystroke (you guessed it, press F), users can instantly deploy a token tied to any tweet. The original author can later prove authorship using ZK verification and claim a share of the token’s fees — ensuring creators benefit if and when their content goes viral.

The Problem: Currently on platforms like Pump.fun, anyone can create tokens based on viral Twitter content, but original creators receive nothing while speculators profit from their creativity.

Our Solution: We've built a one-click token launcher that enables users to create meme tokens directly from Twitter posts, with a game-changing twist - all trading fees automatically flow back to the original tweet author.

How It Works:

• ZK-Verified Ownership: Using vlayer's webproof technology, we perform zero-knowledge verification on-chain to cryptographically prove Twitter account ownership
• One-Click Launch: Users can instantly create tokens from any tweet with verified ownership
• Automatic Royalties: Every trade generates fees that are automatically distributed to the verified tweet author
• Fair Distribution: Finally, viral content creators get compensated when their creativity drives token value

Technical Innovation:

• Integration with vlayer's webproof for secure, privacy-preserving Twitter verification
• Smart contract automation for seamless fee distribution
• User-friendly interface bridging Web2 social content with Web3 tokenomics

Impact: This creates a sustainable creator economy where viral content generates ongoing revenue for its creators, incentivizing quality content creation while maintaining the speculative fun of meme tokens.

Press F is about cultural provenance, anchoring the origin of viral moments to the people that made them happen. In a world where attention is currency, this is a first step to building the infrastructure to capture and redistribute that value in a fairer way, starting with tweets, and maybe extending to many other forms of digital culture.

Press F to Pay Respect is built with a multi-component architecture that seamlessly bridges Web2 social media with Web3 tokenomics:

Browser Extension Our Chrome extension adds a "Press F" button to Twitter, allowing one-click token launches directly from tweets. When pressed, it automatically tags our Twitter bot and replies to the original tweet, creating a transparent on-chain record of the tokenization event. It also shows tokens associated with tweets and certain engagement metrics.

Twitter Bot (@payrespectsbot) The bot listens for tags, detects the original post author, and automatically deploys new tokens linked to specific tweets. This creates an immutable connection between viral content and its tokenized representation.

Smart Contracts (OP Sepolia & Flow Testnet) Our bonding curve contract handles token economics - calculating buy/sell amounts and collecting trading fees. The key innovation is our vlayer webproof verification function that ensures only verified Twitter account owners can claim their accumulated trading fees.

Web Application Users can browse all deployed tokens and trade via bonding curve. Token creators can claim their fees here by installing the vlayer extension to generate webproofs of Twitter ownership. We also integrated Blockscout SDK for real-time transaction status updates.

Thanks to vlayer's powerful webproof technology, we can verify Web2 data on-chain through zero-knowledge proofs. This unlocks our core use case - cryptographically proving Twitter ownership without compromising privacy, enabling automatic fee distribution to verified creators.
