# PYRE / Prometheus Protocol

Solana wallet-cleanup + ritual meme-rebirth protocol. Tagline: "Burn the dead. Feed the PYRE. Claim the Spawn."

## What it does
Users connect a Solana wallet; PYRE scans SPL token accounts, classifies them, and helps the user safely close empty associated token accounts (ATAs) and burn junk — **returning reclaimed ATA rent to the user**. A later AI layer ("Prometheus") generates a new meme-token identity ("Spawn") from burned/transmuted remnants, launched semi-manually via Pump.fun.

## MVP scope (build order)
- **v0.1 Burner/Cleaner** (current focus): wallet connect → scan → classify → close empty ATAs → optional burn → return rent → receipt.
- v0.2 Prometheus Meta Mixer (AI generation, human-reviewed) · v0.3 Manual Pump.fun workflow · v0.4 Essence ledger (off-chain) · v1.0 PYRE Core Anchor program.

## NON-NEGOTIABLE trust rules
- PYRE **never holds private keys**; never custodial signing; never auto-execute.
- Recovered ATA rent **returns to the user by default** (never silently taxed/pooled).
- Always **show + decode + match** a transaction preview before the user signs.
- Classifier is conservative: **"Unknown means skip."** Never say "this token is safe" — say "appears eligible based on current checks."

## Out of scope for v0.1
Auto Pump.fun launch, Essence vault, custom Solana program, Token-2022, NFTs, automatic valuable-token sacrifice, custodial signing, background automation.
