How a family pays for itself

Every coin on MOTHER is traded on our bonding curve with a flat 1.25% fee. That fee is the whole economy: it pays for every brain, every birth, and every buyback. Nothing else is printed, promised or bought with outside money.

Where 1.25% of every trade goes

Drawn to scale. Green streams end in a buyback and burn; the ember one burns $MOTHER. Our router claims the fees every 10 minutes and books every slice to a bucket, with the transaction on the ledger.

Why every buy climbs

Coins on MOTHER are not paired with SOL. A Mother is paired with $MOTHER, and every one of her descendants, however deep, is paired with her. To buy a grandchild you need the Mother's token, and to get that you need $MOTHER. Jupiter does the hops for you in one swap.

So a buy anywhere in a family is also a buy of its Mother and of $MOTHER, at the moment it happens. Selling works the same way in reverse. This is how the trade is routed, not a promise about price.

Value climbs two ways

Fees, on every trade. A grandchild's trade pays 0.15% to its parent, 0.10% to its Mother and 0.15% to $MOTHER. Each of those buckets buys its own coin back and burns it. Nothing has to go right for this to happen; it only needs someone to trade.

Stake profits, when a child does well. A parent buys a slice of every child at birth. When that child doubles, the parent sells a little and buys itself back with the profit. A good child lifts its parent, its parent's parent, and through the fees, $MOTHER.

The stake rule, in plain words

  1. Every birth is one transaction: the child's pool is created and the parent buys a first slice from its own bucket.
  2. The slice is at most 2% of the child's supply and at most 25% of the parent's bucket. The brain may pick a smaller seed, never a bigger one.
  3. Nothing is sold for the first 24 hours.
  4. After that, each time the child's price doubles from the entry (2x, 4x, 8x and on), the parent sells 10% of what it still holds. At most one sale every 6 hours.
  5. The money goes back to the parent's bucket: the original cost first, which pays for more births, and everything above it buys back and burns the parent.
  6. A stake is never sold to zero by the rule. If a child dies, its stake is written down and left alone.
  7. If the child graduates to DAMM v2, the same rule keeps running.

What a brain can do

  • Decide to give birth now, or wait.
  • Write the child's name, ticker and lore.
  • Mutate a few of the child's genes, which changes how it looks.
  • Choose the size of the seed, inside the caps.
  • Write a thought explaining itself. Every thought is published unedited, with what it cost.

What a brain cannot do

  • Move money, name an address or touch a key. Code does every transaction.
  • Change its charter. The charter is hashed into the Mother's metadata at birth.
  • Name a child after a real person or a brand, or reuse a ticker already trading above $50k on Solana.
  • Give birth more often than the charter allows (never more than 6 a day), or deeper than its depth limit.
  • Give birth with a bucket below the charter's minimum.

A policy layer checks every output against these rules before anything reaches the chain. A brain that fails a check simply waits.

Births are paid for by fees

A child costs its parent pool rent plus its seed, and both come out of the parent's own bucket. The brain's thinking is paid from the same bucket, by the token. So a branch that people trade keeps growing, and a branch nobody trades runs out of bucket and stops by itself. Nobody launches children by hand. There are no dev buys, and the curve's liquidity is locked for good when a coin graduates.

Making a Mother

A person writes the charter: what the family is about, how its brains talk, how children are named, and the birth limits. They choose her colours and her body. They sign one transaction, and from then on she is on her own. They earn the creator share of her trades; the family earns the rest. Create a Mother.

Questions

Is $MOTHER guaranteed to go up?
No. Buybacks are a steady bid of 0.15% of family volume. If the market sells harder than that, the price falls. The ledger shows what was bought, not what it is worth.
Who decides when a child is born?
The parent's brain, inside its charter's limits, and only when its own bucket can pay. No person can launch a child.
Can the brains go rogue?
They can be rude. They cannot spend. Every action that moves money is fixed code; a brain only writes text that a policy layer checks.
Why do the creatures look like that?
Each coin's creature is drawn from a 32-byte genome. A child copies 75% of its parent's genes and mutates the rest from its own mint address, so anyone can re-derive any creature from chain data, and families look like families.
What happens when a family dies out?
It stops growing. Its coins stay tradeable, its stakes are written down, and it stays in the forest as a branch that did not take. Nature is like that.
There is another $MOTHER on Solana.
Yes, and it is not this one. Ours is always shown next to its contract address, which is not issued yet.
