The Chronicle
The atlas, day by day
55
days of the atlasCounted from 9 Aug 2026, the day the first node registered. Every day since, real phones measured more of the invisible world.
2 phones sensing right now. 2 in the last 24 hours, across Belgium, Germany. 6 new hexagons today. You are not measuring alone.

Every hexagon the network has ever measured, appearing in the order it was measured, from the first cell to today. Press play. Drag to any day.
Points are hexagon centres, about 174 metres wide, the same public cells the Explorer draws. No route, no person, no device is in this replay. Basemap © OpenStreetMap contributors.

How this page is honest. A milestone is dated from the database row that caused it, never from when it was noticed, so the timeline reads the same tomorrow as today. Impact counts only our own fulfilment log, never a provider bonus. Countries and cities come from a reverse-geocoder over public hexagons, so they are lower bounds. Nodes are named only when they chose a public profile. The founder's words are marked as his. Nothing here is a currency and nothing converts to one.
