Imagine a world without time. What if you didn't have to wait an hour in traffic, or until the movie ends? What would the world look like if time didn't exist?

We live in a world of rules, one of which is time. Rules define how the world works. Without them, nothing would make sense.

Take apples for example. If there's one thing we know about apples, it's that they fall on people's heads.

When we say an apple falls four meters, we measure movement through space. If it takes one second to fall, we measure movement through time. When we combine them and say the apple takes one second to fall four meters, that’s velocity through spacetime. Using simple rules, we make up a game called physics and play with the world around us.

Sounds obvious, but it's easy to overlook obvious things. Like the fact that it would be impossible to measure stuff without light. Light comes from the sun (duh). Without it, we'd have a hard time seeing, let alone measuring how far the apple falls. We'd never even know about apples without the sun. They wouldn't grow, and neither would we. Apples wouldn't exist.

Lots of things wouldn't exist if the sun disappeared. Like time. What is a second anyways? An arbitrary unit of measurement that tracks the movement of the sun. Everything revolves around the sun.

Humanity orients around it so we can count how many suns something takes. How many suns it takes to cook breakfast. How many suns it takes to eat. How many suns to build a fire before night falls and it’s cold. Everything we do can be measured in suns. After enough sun cycles (~30,000), we get tired and then we die.

Such is life in our sun-based coordination game: get as much sun as you can before you run out. Some call this finite game of shifting suns "capitalism." Let’s just call it time.

Time is the great coordinator keeping everything stuck together. And yet we're always complaining about time as if our clocks came unwound.

Humans are bad at keeping time. Bad at saving it. Spending it. Estimating how much is left. Paradoxically, we spend a lot of time in crypto trying how to figure out how to give it away. We never have enough of it. Constantly losing track of it. Always wishing we had more of it. Wasting it as a result.

Remember that thing you said you'd do tomorrow because there wasn't enough time today? You were supposed to meditate, read, write more, but tomorrow never comes.

Remember your first time rebellion, when you killed your 9 to 5? That hot new startup that nearly ended you. The DAO that ate your time?

So you work around the clock now. Always on the go. We're a new generation of sun slaves chained to calls in different time zones.

Time is lost. Time is broken. Time is turning away from the sun. I hate losing time more than anything, which is why we made Mochi.

Mochi is a coordination game that saves time. We help DAOs and decentralized teams stick together. Spend less time coordinating and more getting stuff done.

Mochi takes lost time, makes it visible, and redistributes it for the public good. Simple rules for a simple game to save your remaining suns.

Let's save the world together. But first, let's save time.
