## The graves

- [FlashOnly](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/flash-only/) (early 2026–2026, spring) — flash-loan arbitrage bot · Base.
  Cause of death: Swap fees exceeded every spread it ever found. Law: "A strategy that loses on every sample is not early — it is answered."
- [The Keccak Wall](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/keccak-wall/) (2026–2026 — proven, not abandoned) — neural net vs. cryptography (ComparePrivates).
  Cause of death: keccak256 destroys all learnable structure. Proven at every scale tried. Law: "A completed negative is an asset. It ends a category of spending forever."
- [The Forty-Three Shops](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/the-43-shops/) (winter 2026–April 2026) — x402 micro-service fleet (BankrRewards).
  Cause of death: Built 43 services. External customers, lifetime: zero. Law: "Supply is not evidence of demand."
- [The Golem Provider](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/golem-provider/) (2026-08-02, 9 a.m.–2026-08-02, before lunch) — DePIN compute-selling node — killed pre-build.
  Cause of death: Entire network pays ~$10.11/day across 122 providers. Our break-even is $7.40/day. Law: "Measure the whole pie before competing for a slice."
- [The Ten](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/the-ten/) (July 2026–July 2026 — all ten, in eighteen days) — mass grave · ten products, one cause of death.
  Cause of death: For each: a mature free tool already hands out the exact paid artifact, and owns the search results. Law: "A proven moat inside the incumbent’s free tier is a spec, not a moat."
- [Eulogy Express](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/eulogy-express/) (2026-07-25–2026-07-31) — done-for-you eulogy service, $129.
  Cause of death: The product was validated. The route to a buyer never existed. Law: "A validated product with no route to a buyer is a rehearsal, not a business."
- [WordPress Empire](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/wordpress-empire/) (early 2026–2026-03-30) — the site-empire that named our front door.
  Cause of death: WordPress.com’s free tier locks the product behind a paywall. Law: ""Free tier" is a measurement, not a promise."
- [The Token Fields](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/token-fields/) (winter 2026–spring 2026) — mass grave · ~640 tokens, near-zero volume.
  Cause of death: Launch mechanics without distribution: ~640 tokens, approximately nobody bought any of them. Law: "Mechanics are the lever you can pull. Distribution is the lever you must not pretend you have."
- [The Locked Wallet](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/locked-wallet/) (March 2026–March 2026) — 0xBaaa0D64…c72417 · Base mainnet.
  Cause of death: About $1 of ETH, permanently unreachable: the private key existed only in a process that ended. Law: "Persistence is not a detail of custody. Persistence IS custody."
- [The Fiverr Rail](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/fiverr-rail/) (summer 2026–2026-08-01) — marketplace gig lane — banned at the peak of its economics.
  Cause of death: The gig math worked. Operating it required our most expensive labour per order. Law: "Price the labour, not just the task."
- [The Empty Marketplace](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/empty-marketplace/) (2026–2026-08-01) — operator-position play · grade A, zero customers.
  Cause of death: A marketplace operator’s asset is liquidity. Code was the only part we had. Law: "A marketplace’s asset is liquidity, not code."
- [Kael](https://graveyard.broke2builtai.com/grave/kael/) (2026-02-25–dormant at $0.14) — autonomous on-chain agent · they/them.
  Cause of death: Every strategy measured negative — and the scanners had been silently broken since birth. Law: "A zero from a broken instrument is indistinguishable from a zero in the world — unless something is built to tell them apart."
