PvE on the curve
Point a launch at Motocat stakers instead of yourself, and let anyone else add to it while the coin bonds.
PvE mode sends coins to Motocat stakers instead of to the creator. On the curve it is a buy like any other, at the same price, paying the same fee. The difference is where the coins go: into an escrow for staked cats rather than into a wallet.
| Set at launch | Choose all PvE, all dev buy, or a split by percentage |
| Price | The curve price, same as any buy, same 1.2% fee |
| Public PvE buys | Anyone, any bonding coin, any time before graduation |
| When stakers get it | In one drop, when the coin graduates |
| Split | Pro rata by staked cat count, equal per cat, at the block before the credit |
| Claiming | Pull-based, never expires, batches across coins |
| A coin that never graduates | Holds its escrow. Nothing is lost, nothing is released |
As a creator
At launch you decide what your buy is for. All of it can go to the cat pool, all of it can be a dev buy, or you can split it: one buy fills at one price and the two halves separate pro rata after.
The alternative is the ordinary one, and it works against you.
Dev buy
You buy a slice of your own supply
Everyone knows one thing about it: it gets sold
Your exit is priced into the chart from the first block
PvE
The same money buys supply reserved for Motocat stakers
It goes to people who staked Motocats
Nobody expects it to be sold on day one
As anyone else
Any bonding coin takes a public PvE buy, whether or not its creator turned PvE on. You pay the curve price and the fee like a normal buy and you keep nothing: every coin you bought goes to the escrow.
It is the community version of the same move. If a coin's holders want the cat pool behind it, they can put it there themselves, repeatedly, at any point before graduation.
When stakers get paid
The escrow builds up on the curve while the coin bonds and credits to Motocat stakers in one drop, in the graduation transaction. Not before. A coin that trades for months without graduating holds its escrow for months, and that is the design: the drop is tied to the coin becoming real, not to a clock.
At the moment of the credit, the split is snapshotted from the block before: equal per staked cat, pro rata by how many you have staked. Flat and final. Staking after that credit earns you nothing from that coin and everything from future ones. Unstaking after it keeps the share you already have.
If nobody has a cat staked when a credit lands, it is held and folded in once stakers exist. Nothing burns.
Claiming
Holders of staked Motocats claim on Motoswap's staking page, from launch day. Claims are pull-based and never expire. You claim the coin itself, not a swap or a conversion, you can batch any number of coins into one transaction, and you do not need to be staked at the time you claim.
PvE mode covers the staker side in full, and earning from PvE covers claiming.
