Value flow
On a buy
ETH in
├─ tax (3%, or more during the launch window) ──→ creator, in ETH
└─ the rest ──→ buys C4 from the pool
On a sell
C4 in (1000)
├─ 30 ──→ tax, realised in ETH ──→ creator
├─ 97 ──→ the distributor, credited as a bond to the seller
└─ 873 ──→ the pool; the ETH proceeds go to the seller
C4 in (1000), from the seller's own wallet, inside their exemption allowance
├─ 30 ──→ tax, realised in ETH ──→ creator
└─ 970 ──→ the pool; the ETH proceeds go to the seller
(exempt: nothing routes to the distributor, no bond minted)
Into and out of the reward pool
IN OUT
the 30% reserve, live from day one ──→ daily rewards to bond holders
tokens committed to open bonds ──→ (claim, or compounded in place)
the 10% retained from non-exempt sells
Note what is absent from the left column: trading fees. The bonds and the creator tax are separate systems that never touch.
What can never move
- The liquidity position has no removal path. Seeded liquidity, and the 0.01% pool fees it accrues, stay in the pool permanently.
- A bond's principal is never returned. It is a basis for computing rewards.
- The reward reserve leaves the distributor only as bond payouts; no other exit exists.
