Motocats, the MOTO token, FAQ, and safe self-custody habits.
Motocats
Motocats is Motoswap's NFT collection: 20,000 cats. A staked cat does two jobs: it collects a share of every PvE launch, and it boosts the Points your swaps earn. A cat in your wallet does neither. The full story is on the Motocats page.
Motocats were distributed free and born staked: every cat except the honoraries started life in the staking contract, already assigned to its holder. There is no mint site, no whitelist, and no claim page, and there never will be. Anyone linking you to a Motocat mint or claim site is running a scam.
The MOTO token
MOTO is Motoswap's ERC-20. Four things run through it:
| Utility | How |
|---|---|
| Staking | The 0.20% staker cut of every swap, in real fee assets |
| Launch farming | Ended. Paid MOTO to Uniswap LPs for 14 days at launch |
| Routing and moto.fun | A base asset for routes, and every moto.fun coin that graduates gets a TOKEN/MOTO pool |
| Buyback and burn | 0.10% of every swap buys MOTO and burns it |
Every moto.fun graduation seeds a MOTO pool and burns its pool tokens, so the MOTO under each new market can never be withdrawn. Why that compounds is Paid players come back.
Your profile
Everything you hold and everything waiting for you lives on your profile: token holdings, LP positions, your MOTO stake and its fee share, unclaimed PvE drops, your full activity history, and your referral link.
Your profile also has two more things. The vesting card shows the streamed half of your past farm harvests unlocking over its 180 days, claimable as it arrives. And every action surface can hand you a share card: a rendered image of the trade, harvest, or position, sized for posting, generated on demand from any position you hold.
FAQ
Trading
The price moved past your slippage tolerance between quote and submit, or the deadline passed. It reverted instead of filling badly; you lose gas, not tokens. Raise slippage a little if the market is moving fast.
Warnings start at 10% impact and escalate to a block at 50%. High impact on a normal-size trade usually means a thin pool. The ladder is on Trading.
Only once. After a one-time setup, standard tokens trade on a signature; fee-on-transfer tokens keep the classic approve-then-swap path.
A large order can split across two routes when the split pays meaningfully more, and a split runs as two transactions. The app shows both legs before you trade.
Earning
Launch farming has ended. If you still have LP in a launch farm, withdraw it on the Farm page. Your LP is safe and stays yours. Half of each harvest you already claimed paid out at once; the other half streams over 180 days and waits on your profile, where you claim it as it unlocks.
Points and Rakeback
Rakeback vests per weekly epoch: half with the epoch, a quarter each of the next two weeks. A recent epoch shows only part of what it will eventually pay.
30 days after it becomes claimable, which is when the epoch's slice is activated, not when the epoch ends. Claim from the Rakeback panel any time before then.
Only staked cats count; a cat in your wallet boosts nothing. And Points balances move once a day at the drop, so a boost you added today shows in tomorrow's number.
You earn 10% of the Points from anyone you refer, added for you, not taken from them. Your friend confirms the link with one signature before their first trade. After that it cannot change. Details on Points.
Points balances update once a day, with the drop at 00:00 UTC. Today's trading shows up in tomorrow's number.
Tokens
Import it: the review step shows its address and flags symbol collisions. Verify the address from an official source first.
Stay safe
Self-custody means no one can freeze or reverse a bad transaction for you. A few habits keep that from working against you.
Motoswap will never message you first
Motoswap never DMs you first, never asks for your recovery phrase, and has no support staff who reach out over chat. Anyone who does any of these is trying to rob you.
Verify the URL
Attackers clone the site at look-alike addresses and wait for you to connect. Reach Motoswap from a bookmark you saved yourself, not a link someone sent you.
The import review is a real stop
When an import asks you to review a token, that is the safety check, not a formality. What to verify is on Trading.
Approval hygiene
An approval you leave open lets a malicious token contract drain that token. Approve what you need and revoke approvals for tokens you no longer trade.
No Motocat mint or claim site
There is no Motocat mint or claim site. Cats arrived staked. Any site offering a Motocat mint, whitelist, or claim is a scam.
