Reading first
The main purpose is to help kids read. The coin gives the project a funding engine. The reading work gives it a reason to exist.
About us
Slithy Tove
Slithy starts with the reading mission. People already spend electricity and time mining coins. I want a piece of that work to turn into books, reading materials, and direct literacy support.
Plain-language tools
The software is designed to mine from your computer's CPU, so people can test and participate without buying expensive hardware.
Literacy treasury
Ten percent of each block subsidy goes to the literacy treasury. The chain is public, so the balance should be something you can check instead of something you have to trust.
Why the name Slithy Tove?
The name is a nod to Lewis Carroll and the first strange words in “Jabberwocky.” I wanted something tied to books from the start, not a name that sounded like another finance app.
Slithy Tove fits the project because it feels curious, a little odd, and rooted in reading. That matches the mission: build usable coin software, then send part of the block reward toward helping kids read.
Status and legal note
Slithy Tove is running on a test network right now. The current wallets, balances, blocks, and treasury feed are test data. They will be wiped before the live network starts. Test SLTHY is not money and has no market value.
CS Idea Labs LLC operates slithy.io, publishes the official builds, and coordinates the early project infrastructure. It is not a foundation and it is not claiming nonprofit status. If a foundation makes sense later, that needs to be done properly with legal and tax advice.
The literacy treasury is a project treasury. The goal is to fund reading work later from visible block rewards, then report what happened in public. No coins are being sold from this site. Nothing here is investment advice, fundraising, or a promise that SLTHY will ever trade anywhere.
