Rehearsal flame. Until the CA is live, this candle runs on simulated trades at 60× speed so you can watch how it behaves.

The candle's burning.

One candle, shared by every holder. Buys pour wax on. Sells melt it off. Every hour, whether anybody shows up or not, it burns down one mark.

HOW THE CANDLE WORKS

Medieval candle clocks were marked by the hour, and so is this one. The numeral at the top of the wax is how many hours of burn are left.

Buy
pours wax on. Every 1% of supply bought adds one mark, up to six a trade.
Sell
melts it off. Every 1% of supply sold takes one mark away, up to six a trade.
Time
burns it down, one mark an hour, every hour. A full candle lasts a day on its own.
Full
means it drips. Wax poured past mark XXIV runs down the side and goes on the drippings record.
Out
means smoke. At zero the flame goes out, but it isn't dead: the next buy relights it and the "lit for" clock starts again.

Your browser works the candle out from $WICK's transfers on Robinhood Chain: transfers out of the pool are buys, and transfers into it are sells. Everyone looking sees the same flame. There's no contract behind it, no server and no admin.
