A funded wallet. A useful memory. A second request that goes too far. Follow Memento as it reads Filecoin, weighs the cost, and acts.
01 / A LIVE DECISION, SCREEN-RECORDED
An actual screen capture of the deployed app, not an animation. The monthly cap moves from 0.50 to 0.10 USDFC while the account’s own cost stays at 0.24, and the same funded wallet is refused. Two idle pauses were cut; nothing else is edited, and the numbers are read from Calibration at the epoch shown on screen.
02 / THE WORKER RUN THAT SPENT REAL FUNDS

- Storing the selected memories
Synapse is storing and committing the archive on two independent providers.
- Retrieving the archive
Downloading the PieceCID through Synapse and comparing SHA-256 with the original archive.
- Every byte accounted for
SHA-256 matches. bafkzcibdrifary6weyplnu67x5gxyq2xsrgfqnpxtnxh3ccynk6hgkei464shcrf. This is retrieval integrity; ongoing PDP proof status is independently inspectable onchain.
- Checking both providers independently
Retrieve the same archive directly from each registered provider and validate PieceCID and SHA-256.
- Both provider copies passed
Two independently downloaded copies match the signed archive hash and both live datasets include the PieceCID.

This run is recorded. Now make one happen.
Run a live decision Read the same account at the current epoch and run the same policy engine and budget gate. Move the spending cap and a funded wallet refuses its own write. Nothing is broadcast.
What this proves
Real financial refusals, an actual two-provider archive, cumulative fee enforcement, and duplicate prevention. Signatures establish the signer and integrity of the record; fresh retrieval checks both provider copies. This is not a claim about future availability or perfect memory understanding.
The rolling ledger starts at its recorded activation time. It does not retroactively include older transactions. Operation fees and reserve funding have separate allowances; tFIL gas is separate.
