proof

Check the signal. Then walk.

Every stock that can spawn has a crossing signal, and every signal is the vault's own balance. Nothing spawns that the vault cannot pay.

–/13signals on walk
Reading the vault…
drops left: goempty: don't walk

The number is the vault's balance of that stock divided by the size of one drop, rounded down. Nothing spawns that the vault cannot pay, so a signal on walk is a drop that pays. Tap any signal to see the same balance on the explorer: that is the chain talking, not us.

01

Read the signal.

White walker: the vault holds that stock and drops are paid. Orange hand: there is none, don't walk for it.

02

Read the number.

Like a crossing counting down, it is what is left: the vault's balance divided by the size of one drop, rounded down.

03

Check it yourself.

Tap a signal. The explorer opens on the same balance, read straight off the chain by somebody who is not us.
