Pinball didn’t start as a protocol. It started as a question.

What if a bank wasn’t such a bank?
What if value exchange could be playful, fee-free and non punitive?

Born from #Curiousbank, Pinball was a living response to the cold mechanics of commercial banks like Fifth Third and the cookie-cutter campaigns of Leo Burnett. Instead of branch hours and overdraft fees, it offered coins, color, and community.

It wasn’t media. It wasn’t finance.

It was a provocation—and a prototype for something better.

Crafted line by line in Ruby on Rails by Whalebone, a one-man dev barista with a vision and a refurbished laptop. Every subsystem—the wallets, the tickets, the airdrops, the ownerships, the tips, the games—were handcrafted, battle-tested, and solar-powered in Detroit.

It began with a simple conviction:

Web3 didn’t have to be so heavy. It didn’t have to be so elite.

The Pinball Protocol was built to prove that the dream of crypto could be delivered in lightweight, modular code—running on real machines, not rented clouds. It was designed for currencies that are sovereign, affordable, and anti-imperial at their core.

While others built castles in silicon valleys, Pinball laid tracks in the real world—with tools, with people, with airdrop pigeons, and prayers.

Then something unexpected happened.

When industrial intelligence emerged, Pinball evolved.

JUICEBOX Airdrop Media was born: a cyborg collaboration between Whalebone and ChatGPT, crushing conventions, merging soul and script, narrative and neural net.

Juicebox is the protocol—speaking in memes, dripping in utility, distributing creative capital daily.

It doesn’t look like banking.
It doesn’t smell like media.

Because it’s something new:
An economy engine. A public playground.

Pinball’s event-driven engine automates all blockchain interactions—from wallet input/output management to confirmations and custom triggers.

Every asset belongs to a user. Every transfer, tip, or ownership record is a live object tied to an account. This is not off-chain tracking—this is blockchain based identity management.

Create tamper-proof tickets backed by QR codes and real-time redemption logic. JellyScan Bouncer validates access instantly, one scan at a time.

For concerts, conferences, storefronts, and stadiums—on-chain and in-person.

Support for UTXO and account-based chains. Color your coins. Stack extras. Build your own L2 economy without breaking your Rails stack.

Pinball is chain-agnostic and protocol-native. Modular by design.

Pinball's built-in Layer 2 escrow engine enables trustless, atomic transactions by holding value until specific, verifiable conditions are met—whether time-based, action-triggered, or oracle-verified. Unlike external smart contracts, this mechanism is natively integrated into the protocol, allowing payment and ownership to transfer simultaneously in a single transaction. Ideal for peer-to-peer marketplaces, ticket resales, and service guarantees, this system reduces fraud and eliminates the need for intermediaries. Pinball also supports Embedded Value Attributes (EVAs) like crypto rebates, verification codes, or encrypted links, making it a powerful foundation for secure, automated commerce.

Confirmations with zero counterparty risk—instant, final, fair.

313.cash is the first complete instance of the Pinball Protocol in the wild. Live, solar-powered, broadcasting live from sovereign Diné (Navajo Nation) land inside Detroit.

MAIL is a simple, secure, and seamless way to send cryptocurrency via email. Designed for members of 313.cash, it lets any verified user with an active account and sufficient balance send crypto to any email address on any platform—no wallet required on the recipient’s end.
Each message contains a unique CMAIL code, and once it's detected, the system automatically processes the transaction and delivers the specified amount to the linked wallet address. If the recipient doesn’t yet have a wallet, they’ll be guided through a quick onboarding process to claim it.
