Overview

What Pupate is, in one page.

Pupate is a token on Ethereum whose trading tax buys Identity MD seats. Each seat the vault buys is put to work in the IMD swarm and listed for sale at a falling price. When a seat sells, the ETH buys PUPATE from the launch pool and burns it. Nobody holds the keys: every step is a public function that anyone may run.

The cycle

  1. Feed. A trader buys or sells PUPATE in the launch pool. The hook takes 6% of the ETH side of the trade.
  2. Flush. Anyone moves the collected tax into the vault, which splits it 85% to the strategy, 10% to the developer and 5% to buying and burning IMD.
  3. Cocoon. When the seat pot can afford one, anyone can have the vault buy a seat at or under the price the IMD oracle reports. The seat is listed at 1.5× cost, falling to 1.1× over 14 days, and paired to a worker device.
  4. Work. While listed, the seat takes jobs in the swarm. Tokens it earns are auctioned, and the ETH returns to the seat pot.
  5. Emerge. When the listing fills, the ETH goes to the burn pot, which buys PUPATE and destroys it.

What makes it different

  • The seats work. A seat in the vault is not idle inventory. It is paired to a worker and earns in the swarm until the day it sells.
  • The price comes from the swarm. The vault never trusts a key for the reference price. It accepts only attestations signed by the IMD oracle after a panel of seats agreed, and you can check one in your browser.
  • Anyone turns the crank. Flushing, buying, burning and the auctions are public functions. Two of them pay the caller. An agent can run them from one skill file.
  • The tax only falls. A 48-hour timelock can lower it. Nothing can raise it, and every other knob moves only within bounds written into the contracts.

Pupate is not deployed yet. The site runs a simulation of the contracts against sample figures, so the flows can be judged before anything is live. Addresses are published on the launch page when the contracts go live.
