The market closes. We don’t.
Wall Street is open 32.5 hours a week. This never closes.
After Hours is a memecoin with a clock attached. The clock says, to the second, whether Wall Street is awake. Twice every trading day a bell opens for one minute, and one holder who rings it becomes that session’s bell ringer.

The week, in half hours
A week has 168 hours. Wall Street keeps 32.5.
Each square is thirty minutes of New York time. Gold is the regular session. Everything else is after hours, which is most of it.

The bell
Two bells a day. One minute each. One ringer.
Hold $AFTER
The bell is for holders. A Solana wallet with $AFTER in it can ring; an empty one can't. The minimum is set at launch and printed here.
Be there at the bell
At 9:30:00 and 4:00:00 Eastern, every trading day, the window opens for sixty seconds. On half days the second bell is at 1:00. On market holidays there is no bell.
Ring
Sign one transaction: a memo naming the session, sent to the bell address. It moves no tokens. When the minute closes, a later block hash draws one wallet from everyone who rang. That wallet is the session's bell ringer, permanently.
Streaks. Every session you ring adds to your streak, drawn or not. Miss a bell and it resets to zero. Weekends and holidays don't count against you; Wall Street isn't there either.
The schedule
The next bells, and the days there aren't any.
Wall Street's next days off
From the NYSE's published calendar, which runs through 2028. The coin trades through every one of them. The bell takes the day off with the market.
The board
Everyone who has rung the bell.
One row per session. When the bell is live, this board is read from Solana at the bell address, and nothing on it can be typed in by anyone, including us.
Nobody has rung the bell yet.
The bell isn't live, so nobody could have. When it is, the first session prints here within a minute of its draw.
| Session | Bell ringer | Rang in the minute | Ringer's streak | Draw block |

The draw, in full
Six lines. Anyone can recompute them.
Being first is worth nothing. Being there is worth one entry. The ringer comes out of public data by a fixed rule, so the board can be rebuilt from the chain by anyone who doubts it.

The fine print
Short, and all of it true.
No jokes in this section.
What works today. The clock, the calendar and the week chart are live and run in your browser. The bell is not live: there is no ring transaction yet, no draw has happened, and the board is empty because nobody could have rung it. $AFTER has not launched and has no contract address. When any of that changes, this paragraph changes first.
Not an exchange. After Hours is not a stock exchange, broker, trading venue or clearing house, and it is not affiliated with the NYSE, Nasdaq or any exchange. Nothing trades on this site. The clock reports the regular U.S. equity session. It does not open or close anything.
About the 32.5 hours. That is the regular session: 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday, 6.5 hours times five. Pre-market and after-hours sessions already stretch a weekday to about sixteen hours at most brokers, and exchanges have regulatory approval to run about twenty-three hours a day, five days a week. The weekend stays dark either way, and the bells stay where they are.
The calendar. Holidays and 1:00 p.m. early closes follow the NYSE's published calendar through 2028 and are built into the page. If the exchange changes its calendar, or closes unexpectedly, this clock is wrong until someone updates it. The moon in the window is the real phase, to within half a day.
What a ring is. One Solana transaction signed by your wallet: a memo naming the session, sent to the bell address so the ring can be found. It moves no tokens. The network fee, a fraction of a cent, is yours. The site takes nothing.
The draw. Every wallet that rings inside the minute and holds $AFTER gets one entry, however many times it rings. After the minute closes, a later block hash picks one entry by the rule printed above. Nobody can type a name onto the board, including us. A block producer could in theory nudge a single hash. There is no prize, so there is no reason to.
What you win. Nothing. A row on the board, and a streak. There is no payout, reward, airdrop or allocation attached to ringing, and nothing on this page promises one.
$AFTER is a memecoin. It is not a share, a tokenized stock, a fund or a claim on anything. It tracks no index and no company. It can go to zero, and most coins like it do. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, hold or sell anything.
Who runs this. A static page. It never sees a private key and it stores nothing about you.
Questions
Asked before the bell.
Is this a stock exchange?
No. Nothing trades here, nothing is listed here and nothing clears here. After Hours is a memecoin and a clock. It isn't affiliated with the NYSE, Nasdaq or any exchange. It just knows their hours.
What do I get for ringing the bell?
Your wallet on the board for that session if you're drawn, and a streak either way. No payout, no airdrop, no allocation. If someone tells you ringing the bell pays, they are not describing this site.
Why a draw, and not first ring wins?
A race is won by whoever runs the fastest script closest to a validator, every single time. A draw from everyone who showed up inside the minute makes being there the point. Scripts can still ring. It buys them one entry, same as you.
Where does 32.5 come from? What about pre-market?
The regular session runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern, Monday to Friday: 6.5 hours, five times. Brokers already offer pre-market and after-hours sessions around it, and exchanges have approval to stretch weekdays to about 23 hours. None of that touches Saturday, Sunday or the bells, which stay at 9:30 and 4:00.
What happens on holidays and half days?
On a market holiday there is no session and no bell. On a half day the closing bell moves to 1:00 p.m. Eastern. The calendar follows the NYSE's published schedule through 2028, and streaks skip the days Wall Street skips.
Does daylight saving time move the bell?
Not in New York. The bell follows New York wall-clock time, so it is always 9:30 and 4:00 there. If your clocks change on different dates than New York's, the bell moves an hour for you for a few weeks a year. The schedule above shows the bells in your own time zone.
Can a script ring the bell?
Yes. It's a public transaction format, and anything that can sign can ring. One wallet, one entry per session.
Is the bell live? Where's the contract address?
Not yet, and there isn't one. $AFTER hasn't launched, the bell address hasn't been published and the board is empty. When that changes, it changes on this page first. Anyone handing you a contract address before then is not us.
Is this financial advice?
No. It's a clock. $AFTER is a memecoin: it can go to zero, and most coins like it do. Don't put in money you need.
