this manual accompanies a small apparatus that resides on robinhood chain and performs a single, irreversible operation upon a launch token's creator fee stream. the apparatus is drawn open because it has no interior worth concealing: every constant it obeys was fixed at construction, every action it takes is emitted to the public record, and nothing on this page holds a key.
the reader is invited to proceed downward. each chapter detaches one component from the assembly and describes its function in the register such mechanisms deserve. by the final page the apparatus will be fully dismounted; scrolling upward will reassemble it.
nothing in the browser signs anything. the page observes, and reports what it observes.
the apparatus does not move of its own accord. an exogenous process, referred to herein as the cranker, periodically quotes a slippage floor off chain and submits a single transaction that requests the contract to actuate. the contract accepts this request from any address whatsoever; there is no allowlist and no privileged operator.
remuneration for the actuating party is a fixed bounty, denominated in the chain's native asset and disbursed from the very fees the actuation liberates. the worker that cranks therefore replenishes its own gas from the proceeds of its labour, and the loop is closed without an external treasury.
a request whose available expenditure falls beneath the minimum threshold is refused outright, so the bounty cannot be farmed against dust. a request exceeding the maximum is clamped, bounding the price displacement any single actuation may impose.
fees emitted by trading activity accrue in two successive locations depending on the launch's phase of graduation. prior to graduation they accumulate at the bonding curve as a quote fee balance and a creator tax balance. after graduation they accumulate inside the pool's hook as pending fees and pending creator tax, keyed by pool identifier.
upon actuation the contract first sweeps whichever venue is current, then claims the resulting balance from the fee escrow into its own custody. the pending reading displayed by the apparatus is the sum of the escrowed balance and the contract's resident balance, less the bounty reserved for the cranker.
the contract became the fee recipient through the factory's transfer of the creator fee recipient, a one-time hand-over which also conferred the right to sweep. the prior recipient retains nothing.
every successful actuation emits a single event enumerating the calling address, the quote expended, the quantity of tokens extinguished and the venue through which the acquisition transited. the event is the canonical record; the apparatus's ledger is a projection of it and asserts nothing the chain does not.
in addition to the event stream the contract maintains four lifetime registers: tokens extinguished in aggregate, the count of successful actuations, the timestamp of the most recent, and the quote and token quantities of that most recent actuation. these are public state and may be read by any observer without recourse to an indexer.
the chronicle is append-only in the strict sense. there exists no function that decrements a register, and no function that revises an emitted event.
the screen displays what the apparatus can presently verify: the chain's head block, the spendable balance, the count of actuations, the proportion of initial supply extinguished, and the graduation phase reported by the factory. each figure is read directly from contract state at the block cited.
the feed declares itself stale when the block it last observed falls behind the chain's head by more than its tolerance, and offline when it cannot reach a node at all. in standby, before a token is wired, it says so in plain words rather than displaying placeholders.
no figure on this page is derived from a price oracle, an off-chain database or an estimate. where a market capitalisation is shown it is computed from the on-chain reserve and the token's circulating supply, and labelled as such.
tokens procured by an actuation are not held. within the same atomic execution they are consigned to the asset's own destruction routine, and the contract verifies that its token balance has returned to its prior quantity before the transaction is permitted to conclude. should the balance disagree, the entire execution reverts and no fee is consumed.
supply attrition is therefore monotonic, auditable from the emitted record, and independent of any party's continued goodwill. the tube's level is the cumulative attrition expressed over the initial supply, and it advances only when a destruction is confirmed on chain.
acquisition proceeds through the bonding curve prior to graduation and through the universal router against the v4 pool thereafter, with native currency always occupying the zeroth slot of the pool key. the router parameter layout is selected at construction to match the deployed router's decoding.
the contract has no owner. it exposes no withdrawal, no pause, no upgrade path and no administrative surface of any description. every external dependency, being the factory, the fee escrow, the router, the hook, the token and the curve, is an immutable reference resolved from the launch record at construction and never consulted again for its identity.
the three economic parameters, namely the minimum expenditure per actuation, the maximum expenditure per actuation and the bounty, are likewise immutable. a reader who has verified them once has verified them permanently.
lift the housing and the interior is identical to the exterior: the same contract, the same wallet, the same numbers. this is the sole design principle of the apparatus, and it is not a slogan.
the contract refuses under the following named conditions. nothing to burn: the claimed balance does not exceed the bounty, or the acquisition yielded no tokens. below minimum spend: the expenditure after bounty falls beneath the current floor. pool not ready: the launch has graduated but its pool has not been instantiated. reentrancy: a second entry was attempted while the first was executing. launch mismatch: the token balance after destruction differs from the balance before acquisition.
the direct route, which spends only the calling transaction's own value and leaves accrued fees untouched, is bounded identically and additionally refunds any unspent remainder to the caller before concluding.
these refusals are not failures of the apparatus. they are the apparatus declining to act outside its envelope, which is the behaviour the envelope exists to guarantee.
the apparatus sits on a desk that furnishes itself as the token's market capitalisation crosses fixed thresholds. a keyboard arrives at five thousand, a mouse at ten, a second monitor at twenty five. subsequent furnishings are scheduled at fifty, seventy five, one hundred, two hundred and fifty, five hundred thousand and one million, and are labelled planned until they are modelled.
a furnishing is withdrawn should the capitalisation recede below eighty percent of its threshold, so the desk does not flicker at the margin. the schedule is cosmetic and confers nothing; it is recorded here because the manual records everything the page does.
addresses will be printed here when the apparatus is wired to a token. until then the contract is undeployed, the feed is in standby, and this page says so.
set in geist and geist mono. drawn in ink on dark paper, one orange accent. the parts you have just read about are now on the desk.
