Why it makes candles instead of dust
Spending fees the moment they land would waste them on buys too small to
see. So half of every ETH earned is spent as it comes in, and half is
saved. When the savings reach 1 ETH, the engine spends
0.75 ETH in one order, drops to 0.25, and starts climbing
again.
0.1 ETHfloor, never spent
1.0 ETHcap, where a candle fires
0.75 ETHthe candle, in one order
1.5 ETHof tax per candle, exactly
That last number is fixed by the formula, not a hope:
income per candle = (cap - rest) / (1 - take). The engine
exposes it as cycleIncome(), so it can be read off the
contract rather than taken on our word.
Posting more often does not get you more. The contract decides the amount
from fees it actually earned, so a thousand mentions in an hour buy
exactly what one would. They only bring the schedule forward. Buys under
0.002 ETH are not made at all. That money is saved toward the next
candle instead, which is what stops anyone poking the engine into a
dribble that never reaches the cap.
Launch your own
The engine behind $MENTION is not special to $MENTION. It is a contract
that collects a coin's fees and turns mentions into buybacks, and it works
for any coin launched on Pons. We are opening it up so anyone can launch
one from here, with the same rules and the same live tracker.
01
You pick the ticker
Launch on Pons through this page. Your coin gets its own engine and
its own page on this site, with the same math and the same public
record of every buy.
02
You pick the split
You decide how much of your fees go to the engine and how much go to
you. All of it, none of it, or anywhere in between. Whatever you
choose is written into the contract and shown on your coin's page.
03
It runs itself
Same watcher, same triggers. Someone posts your ticker, your coin buys
and burns out of fees it already earned. Nobody has to run anything.
One payment and nothing else. It covers Pons' fee, the gas to deploy your
engine, and the small float your engine spends on gas later. We never take
a cut of what you raise, only the fee share you pick, and that share is
written into the contract at launch where you can check it.
