First SRI Host on ARPANET ($GENIE)

Lore: In 1969, SRI’s SDS-940 computer running NLS—nicknamed Genie—was the first host attached at SRI and, alongside UCLA, formed the world’s first host-to-host ARPANET connection. This moment marked the true beginning of the internet as we know it.

Meme Energy: A magic terminal with “wish contracts.” Just like summoning a genie, the community can make requests—some whimsical, some visionary.

Gimmicks:
🧞 “Wish” contracts → Each quarter, holders propose features. The top 3 community wishes get built.
💻 Retro ARPANET aesthetics → Styled around vintage command-line terminals and Engelbart’s “Mother of All Demos.”
🌐 Lore-first branding → Rooted in the actual origin of internet history.
