Tokenomics

Rewards come from fees, not from printing.

Nothing is minted. Miners are paid in $CXS bought on the open market with trading fees, out of a fixed daily pool. When trading is busy the surplus builds a treasury; when it goes quiet the treasury pays the pool. Meme volume always dies — this is designed around that instead of pretending otherwise.

How value flows

Fees in, rewards out

01

Fair launch

$CXS launches on a public launchpad with no team allocation and no pre-mine. We buy in on the same terms as everyone else, or not at all.

02

Trading fees accumulate

A share of every trade flows to the project as creator fees. That is the only revenue stream — there is no reserve of tokens waiting to be sold into the market.

03

A fixed daily pool is paid out

Miners split a set daily amount, not a percentage of that day's fees. Your reward depends on what you contributed, not on whether the token happened to be trading that morning.

04

The surplus backstops the quiet months

Whatever the fees earn beyond the daily pool accumulates in the treasury, and the treasury pays the pool once volume falls — because volume always falls. That is the whole point of not spending it all on day one.

Values marked “Set at launch” are published here the day the token goes live, and not before. We would rather leave a blank than post a number we later revise.

Disclosure

The 2026 contract

Retired

We launched an earlier version of this project on Ethereum in April 2026. It did not find an audience and we shut the servers down in June. The original $CXS contract is still visible on Ethereum mainnet and we are not hiding it.

It is not the token being launched now, it carries no claim on the new supply, and its disposal is published in full. If you are going to check one thing about us, check that.

Contract address and disposal record are published before launch.

The knowledge these rewards pay for is public and checkable. See the on-chain record →
