The whole game, in plain words.
Name, ticker, image. One billion tokens, no owner, no mint, no pause. You pay only network gas. Anyone can create, which means names and tickers can be copied — always trust the contract address, never the name.
800 million tokens sell along a bonding curve quoted in USDC, EURC, or cirBTC. Every buy and sell pays 1%: 70% to the coin's creator (claimable anytime), 30% to the Grotto treasury (a 2-of-3 multisig).
When the curve fills its threshold ($12k USDC), the remaining 200 million tokens and the raised funds move into a liquidity pool whose position locks forever. No unlock. No emergency withdraw. Graduation only means the curve filled — it is not a quality signal.
Trading continues against the pool. A 0.30% pool fee stays inside the locked position. Holder lists, charts, and volumes on each coin page are read straight from chain history.
Coins are user-made and experimental. Prices move fast, liquidity can be thin, contracts can have bugs we haven't found. Grotto never holds your funds or keys, and nothing here is financial advice. Never share a seed phrase with anyone, including us.
