None

Choose one name from the catalog. The previous pin leaves the notch.

Field note

The auk keeps one cliff notch. The plate keeps one ticker.

Auks wedge into a single rock slot and stay. Auknotch borrows that habit for public markets: you may pin exactly one symbol onto the steel plate, then mark ticks on a scale that lives on this bench. The jaws do not chase a book. They hold a name.

The numbers on the scale are yours. They are not a feed, a yield, or a fill. When you want the plate copied onto a chain, that filing step is still closed.

Method

Three local moves. Then the chain stays shut.

  1. 01

    Pin one symbol

    Search the local catalog and set a public ticker into the notch. A second pin replaces the first.

  2. 02

    Read the scale

    The annotation rail is a bench ruler, not a price chart. It only records marks you place.

  3. 03

    Notch the ticks

    Click the rail to keep or lift marks. Filing the plate on-chain is the step that is not built.
