Understanding the Mechanics Behind PepuFactory

Deep dive into how bonding curves work, how liquidity is created and locked forever, and how the reward system benefits holders.

📈 The Bonding Curve

A bonding curve is a mathematical formula that determines the price of a token based on its supply. In PepuFactory, every token starts with a bonding curve phase where the price automatically increases as more tokens are purchased.

How It Works

When you create a token, a portion of the total supply (60%, 70%, or 80% - your choice) is allocated to the bonding curve. This supply is gradually sold to buyers, and with each purchase, the price increases following a predetermined curve.

Graduation Target

The bonding curve continues until the target amount of PEPU is collected (default: 3,000,000 PEPU). Once this target is reached, the token automatically "graduates" to PepuSwap DEX with permanent liquidity.

🎨 Liquidity Pool NFT

When a token graduates to PepuSwap, liquidity is created using Uniswap V3's concentrated liquidity model. Instead of traditional LP tokens, Uniswap V3 represents liquidity positions as NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens).

Where Does the NFT Go?

The LP NFT is sent directly to the token contract itself. This is a critical security feature. The token contract becomes the permanent owner of the liquidity position.

🔐 Permanently Locked: The token contract has NO function to transfer, withdraw, or interact with this NFT. It's trapped forever inside the contract with no way out.

Why Is This Important?

⚠️ Irreversible: This design is intentional. Once liquidity is deployed, it's permanent. This protects all holders from liquidity removal scams.

📈 Why Reward Tokens Thrive on Volume

Reward-based tokens operate on a fundamentally different dynamic than traditional tokens. Understanding this is key to seeing why they are designed for long-term sustainability.

Volume Is the Engine

In a reward token, every buy generates rewards for all existing holders. This means that the token doesn't just depend on price going up — it thrives on trading volume. High volume equals high reward generation, regardless of whether the price is rising, falling, or moving sideways. As long as people are buying, holders are earning.

Why Dips Are Actually Opportunities

In traditional tokens, a price dip is purely negative — holders lose value and panic sell. In reward tokens, dips create a completely different scenario:

🔄
New Entry Point
A lower price attracts new buyers who see an opportunity. Every new buy generates rewards for all existing holders — dips become a source of income.
💎
Holders Get Rewarded
While the price is lower, holders who stay are accumulating more tokens through rewards. When the price recovers, they hold a larger position than before the dip.
📊
Volume Spikes on Dips
Dips typically generate high buy volume from bargain hunters and long-term investors. More volume means more tax collected, which means more rewards distributed to everyone.
🔥
Burn Accelerates
If the token has a burn tax, increased volume during dips also accelerates token burns — reducing supply faster and creating stronger deflationary pressure for the recovery.

The Compounding Effect

The real power of reward tokens unfolds over time. Rewards earned from early volume increase your token balance, which in turn increases your share of future rewards. This compounding effect means that long-term holders who stay through dips and volatility end up with significantly more tokens than their original purchase — and when price appreciation kicks in, they benefit from a much larger position.

💡 Think of it this way: In a reward token, dips are not disasters — they're sales events where existing holders get paid. Every buyer, whether buying at the top or the bottom, generates value for the entire community. The key metric isn't just price — it's volume.

Featured Tokens: Double the Incentive

For Featured Tokens on PepuFactory, this effect is amplified. Holders earn both regular token rewards AND FACTORY token rewards from the batch sell system. During high-volume periods — including dips — both reward streams accelerate simultaneously, giving holders even more reason to stay and accumulate rather than panic sell.

🎁 Reward System

One of PepuFactory's unique features is the built-in reward system. Token creators can allocate a percentage of buy taxes to be distributed to all token holders proportionally. Additionally, Featured Tokens can earn FACTORY token rewards through the FACTORY Tax system.

How Rewards Work

When someone buys a graduated token on PepuSwap, a buy tax is applied. The base tax (max 15%) can be split between three destinations, while the optional FACTORY Tax (0-5%) adds a fourth reward layer:

🔥
Burn
Tokens are permanently destroyed, reducing supply and potentially increasing value for remaining holders.
💰
Rewards
Distributed proportionally to all holders. The more tokens you hold, the more rewards you receive.
👨‍💻
Dev
Sent to the developer wallet for continued project development and marketing.
FACTORY Tax
Optional 0-5% extra tax collected in a pot and batch-converted to FACTORY token rewards for holders. The only tax that can exceed the 15% base cap (up to 20% total). It can also be included within the 15% cap.

🔄 Batch Sell System

Tokens with FACTORY Tax collect the taxed tokens in an internal pot. When the pot reaches a configurable threshold, anyone can trigger a Batch Sell — converting the accumulated tokens into FACTORY rewards for all eligible holders.

🏭 How Batch Sell Works:

  • Every buy of a Featured Token accumulates tokens in the FACTORY Tax pot
  • When the pot reaches the threshold, the "Convert Pot → FACTORY Rewards" button becomes available
  • Anyone can trigger the batch sell — the tokens are swapped for FACTORY tokens via PepuSwap
  • FACTORY rewards are distributed to all holders who meet the minimum holding requirement (1M tokens)
  • You can track the pot size, trigger batch sells, and stake to earn rewards from the Reward Farm page
  • Locked Staking How To Stake

Claiming Your Rewards

Rewards accumulate automatically as buys happen. To earn them, stake your tokens in the Reward Farm page. Anyone can harvest the accumulated buy tax rewards — they get split proportionally among all stakers. There's no minimum amount and no time restrictions. Locked Staking How To Stake

⚠️ Staking Required: To earn buy tax rewards, you must stake your tokens in the Reward Farm. Unstaked tokens do not accumulate rewards. Stake and unstake freely at any time — no lock-up periods.

Reward Calculation

Your share of rewards is calculated based on your percentage of the total supply (excluding excluded addresses like the liquidity pool and contract itself). If you hold 1% of the circulating supply, you receive 1% of all reward distributions.

🐋 Max Wallet % Protection

PepuFactory allows token creators to set a maximum token amount per wallet, preventing whales from accumulating too large a share of the supply.

🛡️ Anti-Whale Protection: When enabled, no single wallet can hold more than the configured maximum amount of tokens. This ensures a fairer distribution and protects smaller holders from being dominated by whales.

The Max Wallet limit is set at token creation and enforced at the smart contract level — it cannot be bypassed. Excluded addresses such as the liquidity pool and the token contract itself are not affected by this limit.

🛡️ Anti-Sniper Protection

To protect regular users from bot snipers at graduation, PepuFactory implements an anti-sniper mechanism during the first blocks after a token graduates to DEX.

🤖 99% Tax on Snipers: For the first 2 blocks after graduation, any buy transaction is hit with a 99% tax. This makes sniping unprofitable and protects fair buyers.

After the protection period ends, normal buy taxes apply as configured by the token creator. Note that during the bonding curve phase, no taxes are applied - taxes only activate after graduation to DEX.
