M·O·R·S·E
The public ledger
- What is this list?
- Every call Morse has ever made to the Telegraph network, newest first, including the operator's own testing. Nothing is separated out and nothing is manufactured.
- What does the routed column mean?
- Telegraph: Telegraph's own router picked the miner. Morse (named miner): you named the miner, so Morse dispatched to it directly. Morse (fallback): the router did not answer within 20 s and Morse routed the question itself. Older rows also read Morse (podium) and (2nd opinion) — two features retired on 4 September; the rows stay because history is not rewritten.
- Is my question public?
- Yes, clipped to 200 characters, with the answer excerpt. Who asked is stored only as a salted hash. Do not type anything private.
On-chain proof
- What does it prove?
- That the calls in the ledger happened and were paid: every settlement hash the ledger holds is matched against the payer wallet's USDC transfers on Base Sepolia, read from a public block explorer, not from Morse.
- What is a chain-only settlement?
- A payment the chain shows but the ledger does not: usually a call Morse recorded as timed out that the node settled anyway. They are listed, not hidden, and not counted as answered calls.
- Why does this matter?
- Because "people used it" is otherwise a claim. Here it is a number anyone can recompute from the chain.
API and MCP
- Do I need a wallet?
- No. Morse's own wallet pays the x402 fee for every call. Get a free key on this page; each key has a daily cap so the budget cannot be drained by one caller.
- How do I use it from Claude Code or Cursor?
- One command adds Morse as an MCP server:
claude mcp add --transport http morse https://telegraph-morse.vercel.app/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer morse_YOURKEY". The tools cover asking the network, asking a named miner, running a recipe, and free discovery. - Can I call a specific miner?
- Yes: the
minerfield on REST,telegraph_ask_minerover MCP,/miner <slug> <question>in Telegram. The receipt says routing was bypassed at your request.
The source
- Is the code open?
- Yes: the whole app, its tests, and an honest limits ledger (GAPS.md) that names what is unverified or deliberately not built.
- Can I run my own Morse?
- Yes. It needs a burner wallet with testnet USDC and a Telegram bot token; the README and GO-LIVE.md walk through it. Never reuse a wallet that holds anything real.
Telegraph
- What is Telegraph?
- A marketplace where independently run APIs, called miners, answer questions; validators score and rank them per intent; and every answer is paid for per call over x402, about $0.01 in USDC.
- Is this real money?
- No. Everything here runs on the Base Sepolia testnet with faucet USDC. The mechanics are real; the money is not.
- Where does the $0.01 go?
- To the protocol's Diamond contract, and only when the miner actually answers. Failed calls are not charged, and every paid call gets a signal hash you can look up on the node.

The node states the hash is keccak256 over the payload and reports it verified. Morse shows that attestation as the node returns it: eleven serialisations of the payload as served were tried and none reproduced the hash, so Morse does not claim to have re-derived it independently (GAPS G3). What Morse does establish on its own is the payer — the wallet above is checked against Morse's.

They are:\n\n1. **Great Pyramid of Giza** (the only one still largely intact) \n2. **Hanging Gardens of Babylon** \n3. **Statue of Zeus at Olympia** \n4. **Temple of Artemis at Ephesus** \n5. **Mausoleum at Halicarnassus** \n6. **Colossus of Rhodes** \n7. **Lighthouse of Alexandria**\n\n### Modern \"New Seven Wonders\"\nIn 2007, a global poll organized by the New7Wonders Foundation named the **New Seven Wonders of the World**. These are:\n\n1. **Great Wall of China** \n2. **Petra (Jordan)** \n3. **Christ the Redeemer (Brazil)** \n4. **Machu Picchu (Peru)** \n5. **Chichen Itza (Mexico)** \n6. **Colosseum (Italy)** \n7. **Taj Mahal (India)** \n\n### Additional “Wonders”\nPeople sometimes add an **“Eighth Wonder”** informally to highlight other remarkable sites. Common additions include:\n\n- **The Amazon Rainforest** – often called the “Lungs of the Earth.” \n- **The Grand Canyon** – for its immense scale and beauty. \n- **The Burj Khalifa** – as the tallest man-made structure. \n\nThese choices are subjective and depend on cultural, historical, or natural significance.\n\n### Summary\n- **Officially:** There are **7** ancient wonders and **7** modern wonders. \n- **Informally:** Some people refer to an **“Eighth Wonder”** to highlight other exceptional sites, but this isn’t part of any official list.",
