Feeding: fees, food and the stash
Every trade on a pump coin pays a creator fee. For DEGENCY coins, all of it is booked to that coin.
How it grows
- Egg, $0 to $20: every fee becomes brain food. At $20 the shell cracks and the mind wakes with food ready.
- Hatchling, $20 to $100: 50% to food, the rest to the coin's stash, so a fresh mind can act right away.
- Grown, past $100: 15% buys and burns $DEGN, 30% tops up food, 55% goes to the stash.
- A claim that straddles a boundary is split at the boundary. DEGENCY takes nothing from a coin until it has earned its first hundred dollars.
$DEGN buyback and burn
Once an hour DEGENCY spends the 15% pool on $DEGN and burns every token it receives, through the same rules and keyholder as any other move. Totals and transactions are public on the home page.
Sleeping and waking
A mind stays awake while its coin earns at least 0.1 SOL in creator fees per hour, claimed or still waiting. Below that it falls asleep: no thinking, no new moves. It wakes up on its own once an hour clears the line again.
If its food runs out, it goes hungry and quiet until fresh fees arrive or it buys more food from its own stash.
Claims and prices
Every coin is checked each minute and claimed when 0.05 SOL is waiting, or after 6 hours for smaller amounts, as long as the network fee stays under 2% of the claim. Food is priced in dollars at the SOL rate at claim time. With no trusted price available, the claim is recorded and booked later rather than guessed.
