Tokenomics
How $hodl supply is split, how the team acquires its share, and how airdrops and seasons work.
$hodl is launched on hodl, the same way every other token here is. Same bonding curve, same transfer hook, same graduation. The team has no minting authority.
The split
| Allocation | Share of supply | How it gets there |
|---|---|---|
| Public sale on the curve | 68% | Bought by anyone on fomo during bonding |
| Genesis airdrop | 12.5% | Bought by the team on the curve at launch, distributed to eligible fomo holders |
| Future airdrop seasons | 12.5% | Bought by the team on the curve at launch, held for seasonal points rewards |
| Locked liquidity | 7% | Moved into the DAMM v2 pool at graduation, permanently locked |
Total supply is 1,000,000,000, minted in full at launch. There is no later minting; the mint authority is not retained.
The locked liquidity share is set by the graduation tier the launch uses (2–20% of supply across tiers A–E). The figures above assume Tier C. Whatever the tier, that share is held by the pool during bonding, not by the team, and is locked to the token's fee PDA at graduation so it can never be withdrawn.
The team's 25%
The team's entire allocation is a dev buy on the bonding curve at launch, paid for in SOL like any other buy. It is not a pre-mine and it is not free. The wallets that make the buy will be published at launch so anyone can watch where the tokens go.
None of it is for the team to sell. It splits into two equal halves:
Genesis airdrop, 12.5%. Distributed to fomo holders shortly after graduation.
Future airdrop seasons, 12.5%. Held for the seasonal points program described below. Unclaimed supply at the end of a season rolls into the next one.
Genesis airdrop
To be eligible you need to hold at least $1,000 of value in your fomo Solana wallet at the time of the snapshot. The snapshot date will not be announced in advance.
Allocation size within the eligible set is weighted, and the weighting is not published. It favours accounts with real history over accounts created to farm the drop.
Seasonal airdrops
After genesis, the remaining 12.5% is distributed over a series of seasons. Points accrue by trading tokens launched on hodl, through fomo, during the season.
The exact formula is deliberately not published. Volume alone is not the metric, and the weighting is tuned each season with wash trading and multi-accounting in mind. What can be said: hold time matters, real activity across multiple launches matters more than size in one, and accounts that look coordinated are excluded at the team's discretion.
Season lengths and start dates are announced at the start of each season.
Trading fees and buybacks
$hodl trades with a fixed fee for the life of the token, set at launch like every other hodl token. Of every fee, Meteora takes a fifth, hodl takes a flat 0.75% of trade value, and the remainder goes to the launch's fee recipients.
Separately, 50% of platform revenue is used to buy back $hodl. Platform revenue means hodl's 0.75% cut across every token launched on the platform, not just $hodl. The buyback wallet will be published.
What this does not promise
The airdrop is a distribution of tokens the team bought, not a promise of value. Holding $1,000 in a fomo wallet qualifies you for the snapshot; it does not guarantee a specific allocation. The points program can change between seasons and the team may exclude accounts it believes are gaming it. Nothing here is a guarantee of price, liquidity depth or listing anywhere.
