What PvE mode is
Launches that pay the cat pool. A slice of a PvE launch goes to staked Motocats.
PvE mode is a launch option on moto.fun. When a coin launches with PvE on, part of the buying goes to staked Motocats instead of into the creator's wallet. It is not a team allocation or an insider round. The tokens are bought on the curve at the going price.
The name is the idea: players versus environment, not players versus players. On most launches, bots that buy in the first block take the early supply. A PvE launch changes who the early supply goes to. The people holding staked cats get the slice, every cat equally, and nobody can front-run their way into it.
Creators choose it
PvE is opt-in at launch. The creator decides how much of their buy feeds the cats
Anyone can add
A public PvE buy tops up the slice on any bonding coin, from any wallet
Cats split it
Every staked cat gets an equal share of every drop. Ten cats, ten shares
Where the slice comes from
Two ways, and a coin can carry both:
- The creator's launch. A creator points some or all of their own launch buy at the cat pool. The tokens are bought on the curve at the going price and go straight into escrow.
- A public PvE buy. Anyone can buy a bonding coin at the going rate and donate every token to the cat pool, any time before graduation. Any wallet, any amount, as many times as people want.
Both land in the same escrow and pay out together.
When stakers get paid
At graduation, in one drop. The escrow builds up while the coin bonds and credits to staked cats in the graduation transaction, not before. A coin that trades for months without graduating holds its escrow for months. That is deliberate: the cats get paid when the coin makes it.
The loop
A coin launches with PvE on. Staked cats split the slice when it graduates. Cat holders find the coin, and some of them trade it or provide liquidity. The launch gets holders it did not have to buy, and the cats get paid for showing up first.
The rules
Five rules run PvE:
- One credit per coin. Everything the escrow collected pays out once, at graduation. No second helping, no ongoing emission.
- The snapshot is strictly earlier than the credit. Split by staked balances at the block before the drop lands, equal per cat. Nobody sees a drop coming and jumps in front of it.
- Entitlement is flat and final. Staking more later grows nothing for that coin; unstaking after shrinks nothing.
- Claims never expire. Claim on Motoswap's staking page, from launch day. Batch any number of coins in one transaction and receive the tokens themselves, with no swap, no fee, and no need to still be staked.
- Nothing burns on timing. A drop landing while no cats are staked is held and folds in once stakers exist.
No streaming, no APR, and no cap on how many coins PvE can carry.
Start with earning as a cat holder, or launching with PvE on if you are shipping a coin.
