How GetHooked works, one idea at a time, in plain words and pictures.

Start here

Every buy mines new H, and every trade pays a fee that builds the walls and rewards holders.

GetHooked is one trading pool with a token called Hook, written H. All the liquidity in the pool belongs to the contract itself. The pool runs on Uniswap v4's contracts. You trade it here, on this site: Uniswap's own app does not show the pool yet. The chapters here explain each part in plain words; every figure on the other pages is read from the contract.

What happened day by day is told in Hookie's diary, one page for each ended day.

  1. 1You buy H with ETHFrom the protocol's liquidity, on this site or from your own wallet. You keep the H you bought.
  2. 2The fee on your buy is your Your share of one Hook block's mining. It is the fee you paid on your buys in that block, so a larger buy earns a larger share of that block's H.Every buy pays a The fee on every buy and every sell, called the toll in its code. It pays for the walls and the holder rewards; a small capped part repays whoever makes the walls' upkeep calls, which anyone can. No team wallet and no treasury is paid from it.. That fee counts as your Work in the The contract's own unit of time, about seven minutes. Mining, rewards and the walls all run on it. It is not the chain's block. you bought in. Sells earn no Work.
  3. 3The block shares its new H by WorkEach block hands out new H between its buyers, in proportion to their Work. How much it hands out follows demand: this is its The part of a block's new H that is handed out. It follows demand: when buying is low, less is released and the rest stays in the Vein..
  4. 4Your reward is ready about a day laterIt never expires. It is sent to your wallet once it reaches the contract's payout minimum, or you claim it yourself.
The whole protocol on one map. Every trade pays a fee, and fees pay for the walls and for the holder rewards. A buy's fee is also its Work (that is proof of swap: the buy itself is the work): each block shares its new H between its miners, by Work, and the holders. What a block does not release waits in the Vein. A bond pays ETH for H out of the Vein, and that ETH goes to the walls.

The pool and the walls

Below the price stand seven walls of the protocol's own ETH, ready to buy H back from sellers.

In short

What it is
seven ETH the protocol has placed below the price to buy H back when people sell. There are seven, named L0 (nearest the price) to L6 (deepest). Walls slow a fall; they do not stop it, and they can be crossed. of the protocol's own ETH, standing below the price.
Why it's there
to buy H back from sellers when the price falls, so a fall meets ETH on its way down.
How you use it
nothing to do: every trade pays into them, and every You pay ETH now and receive H from the Vein about one day later, at a price the contract sets when you buy. The ETH goes to the walls.'s ETH goes to them.
What it does for you
a sale finds a buyer below the price. Walls slow a fall; they do not stop it.
the pricethe anchora wall: ETH waiting to buy HSeven walls hang below the The reference price the walls hang below. Once per slot (about one hour) the contract compares it with the lowest of the last four hourly prices: it can rise or stay. It comes down only when the walls are rebuilt after a full crash, once there is ETH for the smallest wall., from L0 nearest the price to L6 deepest. Each wall is ETH the protocol placed there; when people sell, the walls buy H back. ETH from fees and bonds waits and is shared out to the walls once per The contract looks at the price once per slot. A slot is nine of the contract's own blocks, about one hour, counted from the block after the first trade. At the end of each slot it takes the time-weighted price of that slot and decides whether the anchor moves.. Walls slow a fall; they do not stop it, and they can be crossed.
A sell meets the walls. As the price falls it reaches one wall after another. Each wall pays the seller with its ETH and keeps the H it bought. Once the price is more than 10 % below a wall, the H that wall bought is burned for ever. the pricea wall's ETHH a wall has boughtburned

After a crash

If the price falls through every wall, sells are paid only while ETH is left, and the contract rebuilds the deepest wall.

In short

What it is
what the contract does when the price falls through every wall.
Why it's there
so a crash has a rule, not a surprise.
How you use it
nothing to do: sells are paid while ETH is left, and the contract rebuilds the deepest wall.
What it does for you
you can see in advance what happens in the worst case.
After a full crash, when the price has fallen through every wall, the contract rebuilds the deepest wall from the ETH waiting for the walls, if it is at least the smallest wall; otherwise as soon as it is (a A full crash is the price falling through every wall. The contract then sets the anchor lower and rebuilds the deepest wall from the ETH waiting for the walls, if it is at least the smallest wall; otherwise as soon as it is. The other walls return as the price recovers.). That ETH comes from the fees of trades and from bonds. Until it is enough no wall stands, and when no ETH at all is waiting below the price a sell cannot be paid until someone buys or the wall is rebuilt. Nobody can know how long that takes: it depends on trading. The other walls return as the price recovers, if it does.
  1. 1 · The price falls into the wallsEach wall the price reaches pays sellers with its ETH and keeps the H it bought. A sell is never refused while ETH is there to pay it.
  2. 2 · Through every wallA full crash is the price falling through every wall. Sells are still paid from the protocol's launch liquidity, at lower prices, while it holds ETH below the price. When no ETH is waiting below the price, a sell cannot be paid until someone buys or a wall is rebuilt. Buys work as always, and nothing is taken from anyone.
  3. 3 · The deepest wall is rebuiltThe contract sets the The reference price the walls hang below. Once per slot (about one hour) the contract compares it with the lowest of the last four hourly prices: it can rise or stay. It comes down only when the walls are rebuilt after a full crash, once there is ETH for the smallest wall. lower and rebuilds the deepest wall from the ETH waiting for the walls, if it is at least the smallest wall; otherwise as soon as it is (a A full crash is the price falling through every wall.

The other walls return as the price recovers.). The other walls return as the price recovers. The walls from before stay where they were, as A wall from before a re-base. It stays where it was, above the new walls, and keeps the H it bought..

Mining by buying

You mine by buying: the fee on your buy is your Work, and each block shares its new H by Work.

In short

What it is
new H is mined by buying, not by machines.
Why it's there
the people who buy are the ones who receive the new H.
How you use it
buy H; the fee on your buy is your Your share of one Hook block's mining. It is the fee you paid on your buys in that block, so a larger buy earns a larger share of that block's H..
What it does for you
each The contract's own unit of time, about seven minutes. Mining, rewards and the walls all run on it. It is not the chain's block. shares its new H between its buyers by Work, ready about a day later.

This way of mining is called How H is mined here: a real, completed buy from the protocol's liquidity is the proof. Its fee is its Work, and a block shares its miners' part of the new H by Work. It decides who receives new H; it is not how the chain is secured.: the buy itself is the work. Nothing is mined by a machine or by locking tokens up; only a real, completed buy from the protocol's liquidity earns Work. Holders also receive a part of each block's new H, by their Your Powered H multiplied by the time you have held it, counted by the contract in whole points: 1 point is 1,000 H Powered for one Hook day. It decides your share of the daily holder rewards and the weight of your vote: twice the score, twice the share.: that part is not mined, and nothing is locked for it.

To earn Work, buy on this site or from your own wallet. A buy sent through an aggregator may not pass the Work on to you.

  1. 1You buy H with ETHFrom the protocol's liquidity, on this site or from your own wallet. You keep the H you bought.
  2. 2The fee on your buy is your Your share of one Hook block's mining. It is the fee you paid on your buys in that block, so a larger buy earns a larger share of that block's H.Every buy pays a The fee on every buy and every sell, called the toll in its code. It pays for the walls and the holder rewards; a small capped part repays whoever makes the walls' upkeep calls, which anyone can. No team wallet and no treasury is paid from it.. That fee counts as your Work in the The contract's own unit of time, about seven minutes. Mining, rewards and the walls all run on it. It is not the chain's block. you bought in. Sells earn no Work.
  3. 3The block shares its new H by WorkEach block hands out new H between its buyers, in proportion to their Work. How much it hands out follows demand: this is its The part of a block's new H that is handed out. It follows demand: when buying is low, less is released and the rest stays in the Vein..
  4. 4Your reward is ready about a day laterIt never expires. It is sent to your wallet once it reaches the contract's payout minimum, or you claim it yourself.
Proof of swap, drawn. The miners' part of a block's new H is shared as the block's Work is: the fee of your buys in that block, against the fees of every buy in it. At each halving the most a block can release is cut in half; it never goes back up.

Power Up and the sale tiers

H you hold becomes Powered after about a day, and the longer you hold it, the lower the fee when you sell.

In short

What it is
H you hold becomes H becomes Powered about one day after it arrives in your wallet. Powered H earns holder rewards, and the longer you hold it the less a sale costs you. after about a day.
Why it's there
to favour holding over quick selling.
How you use it
hold it; selling Powered H takes holding time from the rest (When Powered H leaves your wallet by a sale, a transfer or an exit, the Powered H you keep loses holding time in the same proportion: sell a quarter, lose a quarter of the time. A Loyal wallet loses about half as much. Waiting H leaves first and costs no holding time.).
What it does for you
the longer you hold, the lower the The fee taken when you sell Powered H. It starts at 10 % and falls in steps the longer your Powered H has been held on average, down to 3 % at 30 Hook days. Waiting H is sold at the full 10 %., from 10 % down to 3 %, and the bigger your share of the ETH and H paid to wallets that hold Powered H. They come from a share of every sell fee and of the H that mining releases, and are shared out once a day..
On a buy, 7 % of what you pay is set aside as a possible Part of a buy's fee, set aside when you buy. When that H becomes Powered, the part your sale fee then allows is paid back with your holder rewards, on the H you still hold: one seventh for a wallet new to Powered H, all of it for a Loyal wallet.. How much of it comes back is fixed when that H becomes H you have held for about one day or more. It shares the daily holder rewards and counts in the holders' vote., about a day later, by the fee your wallet would pay on a sale at that moment: at 9 %, the fee of a wallet new to Powered H, one part of seven; one part more for every step the fee is lower; for a A wallet whose Powered H has been held for 30 days or more on average. Loyal wallets also share the loyalty rewards, and a sale takes less of their holding time away. wallet, at 3 %, all of it. It counts only on the H you still hold, and it reaches you with your holder rewards. What does not come back goes to the walls (to the holders' rewards once a new version is active).
A wallet's Your Powered H multiplied by the time you have held it, counted by the contract in whole points: 1 point is 1,000 H Powered for one Hook day. It decides your share of the daily holder rewards and the weight of your vote: twice the score, twice the share. is an area: its Powered H across, the The contract's day: 209 Hook blocks, about one day. Holding time, the sale fee's steps and the holder rewards are counted in Hook days. It is not a calendar day. it has been held upward. 1 point is 1,000 H Powered for one Hook day, so 1,000 H held for 10 Hook days and 10,000 H held for 1 Hook day are both 10 points, and 10,000 H held for 10 Hook days is 100. A wallet's The part of each Hook day's holder rewards this wallet would receive at its score now. It moves as every wallet's score moves. follows its score: twice the score, twice the share. The The average age of a wallet's Powered H, in whole Hook days, as the contract counts it. New H that becomes Powered is young, so it lowers the average. are an average, and they can fall when new H becomes Powered.

The score, in points. The contract counts a wallet's Power Up score in whole points: 1 point is 1,000 H Powered for one Hook day. The score follows the daily rewards: twice the score, twice the share. Beside it stand the days held: the average age of the wallet's Powered H, in whole Hook days. They can fall when new H becomes Powered. A small wallet reads 0 until its Powered H times the Hook days it has been held reaches 1,000: for example 100 H for 10 Hook days.

Your wallet's picture

Your picture shows what your wallet mostly does: a gem for a holder of Powered H (a diamond once Loyal), curves for the Crew who mine, a stroke mark for every other wallet. Its colours come from the address and never change.

HolderDiamond HandsCrewevery other wallet
H that arrives in your wallet is H that arrived in your wallet less than about one day ago. It is not Powered yet and earns no holder rewards until it is. for about one day, then it is H you have held for about one day or more. It shares the daily holder rewards and counts in the holders' vote.. The fee on a sale of Powered H starts at 10 % and falls in steps the longer your Powered H has been held on average: 9 % from 1 The contract's day: 209 Hook blocks, about one day. Holding time, the sale fee's steps and the holder rewards are counted in Hook days. It is not a calendar day., 8 % from 2, 7 % from 4, 6 % from 7, 5 % from 10, 4 % from 20, and 3 % from 30 Hook days, when the wallet is A wallet whose Powered H has been held for 30 days or more on average. Loyal wallets also share the loyalty rewards, and a sale takes less of their holding time away.. Waiting H is sold at the full 10 %. Selling H takes holding time away, so the fee can step back up.
Power Down. When Powered H leaves your wallet, the Powered H you keep loses holding time in the same proportion: sell a quarter, lose a quarter of the time. A Loyal wallet loses about half as much. Waiting H leaves first and costs no holding time.

Daily rewards

Once a day, wallets that hold Powered H share ETH from sell fees and H from mining.

In short

What it is
once a day, wallets holding Powered H share ETH from sale fees and H from mining.
Why it's there
sellers pay holders.
How you use it
hold Powered H; above the The smallest reward the contract sends out by itself. A payout has a fee, so smaller amounts wait and keep adding up; you can claim them yourself at any time. they are sent to your wallet by themselves, and smaller amounts you claim on Portfolio at any time.
What it does for you
a share by how much you hold and how long you have held it; A wallet whose Powered H has been held for 30 days or more on average. Loyal wallets also share the loyalty rewards, and a sale takes less of their holding time away. holders get a part of their own.
  1. 1Two streams fill themA share of every sell fee, in ETH, and a share of the H that mining releases.
  2. 2Once a day: Once a day the contract shares out the holder rewards collected since the last payday.The contract shares out what was collected since the last payday.
  3. 3Shared by Powered H and by loyaltyOne part goes to every wallet holding Powered H, by its Your Powered H multiplied by the time you have held it, counted by the contract in whole points: 1 point is 1,000 H Powered for one Hook day. It decides your share of the daily holder rewards and the weight of your vote: twice the score, twice the share.. The other part goes to A wallet whose Powered H has been held for 30 days or more on average. Loyal wallets also share the loyalty rewards, and a sale takes less of their holding time away. wallets.
What fills a day's rewards, and who gets them. ETH comes from a share of every sell fee; H comes from the holders' part of what each block releases. Once a day the contract shares both between the wallets that hold Powered H, by their Power Up score: more Powered H, held for longer, is a larger share.

Bonds and the Vein

A bond is ETH paid now for H delivered about one day later, and its ETH goes to the walls.

In short

What it is
a You pay ETH now and receive H from the Vein about one day later, at a price the contract sets when you buy. The ETH goes to the walls. is ETH paid now for H delivered about one day later, from The stockpile of H that mining did not release. Bonds are sold from it. None of it exists as tokens until a bond is delivered..
Why it's there
its ETH goes into the walls.
How you use it
buy one on Bonds. It matures in 209 Hook blocks (about a day), like every wait here, so nobody can buy at the discount and sell at once. Once mature, it is delivered to your wallet by itself, or you can claim it on Portfolio.
What it does for you
H at a price fixed now, 10 % under a The price bonds are priced from: the highest of the average over the last 3 Hook blocks, the average over the last 209 and the last completed block's close, fixed for the whole Hook block. A bond is always 10 % under it; the live price can be above or below it.; it can cost more than the market after a fall.

How a bond is priced

Every bond sells H at 10 % under a reference price. The reference is the highest of three prices: the average over the last 3 blocks, the average over the last 209 blocks, and the price at which the last completed block closed. It is fixed for the whole Hook block: a trade inside a block does not change what a bond of that block costs. Bonds open with the block after the one in which trading began: a bond needs a price that existed when its block began. After a fall the averages stay above the market price for a while, so a bond can then cost more than the market price. The Bonds page shows the bond's price beside the market price, and the difference between them, live.

It is not the chain's block., and states the H your ETH buys (its The contract's own answer to how much H a bond of a given amount of ETH buys right now, and how much of that ETH it uses. ETH it does not use comes back in the same transaction.). ETH it does not use comes straight back.
  2. 2The ETH goes to the wallsIt is not paid to a team or to other holders. It waits with the fees and is placed into the walls.
  3. 3About one day later, your H arrivesThe H comes from The stockpile of H that mining did not release. Bonds are sold from it. None of it exists as tokens until a bond is delivered.: H that mining did not release. The market price can be higher or lower by then.

The launch at one price

Trading starts with one purchase for everyone who deposited, at one price per H.

In short

What it is
trading starts with one purchase for everyone who deposited.
Why it's there
a fair start: one price for all, and no sniper can buy first.
How you use it
ETH you put into the launch before trading starts. It can be withdrawn until deposits lock, in the final hour before the launch. ETH while the launch is open; you can withdraw until the final hour.
What it does for you
your H arrives in your wallet by itself, at the same price as everyone's.
People deposit ETH during the launch period and can withdraw until deposits lock, in the final hour. At the end all deposits buy H together in one purchase, the very first trade, and every depositor pays the same price per H. Trading opens with it.
The one price of the launch is set by the launch itself, from all deposits together: the more ETH everyone deposits, the higher it is. Every depositor pays that same price. No number can be known before the launch.

The way out and the vote

Nobody can change this contract. Only the holders can vote a new version in, and then every holder may leave or move.

In short

What it is
nobody can change this contract; holders can vote a A new contract that holders may move to. The code calls it the successor. It becomes active only through the holders' vote, and only with exactly the code that was voted on. in.
Why it's there
improvements without an admin key.
How you use it
vote on Vote when a new version is proposed.
What it does for you
if one is voted in, you choose: Leaving through the way out: your H is burned and you receive your share of the ETH in the walls. Possible only after the holders have voted a new version in. with your share of what the walls hold, or move to the new version.

The contract keeps running. After a new version is active, this contract does not stop: trading, fees, mining, the daily rewards and the walls go on for everyone who stays. So an exit or a migration is paid from what the walls hold at the moment you send it. Selling on the market also takes ETH out of the walls, so the same share can pay less later than it does now. A migration carries your H one for one, with your share of the walls' ETH as it is at that moment. The launch liquidity is never part of an exit or a migration. Anything a new version gives beyond that is the new version's own rule. Waiting does not improve what you are paid, and it can reduce it.

An Leaving through the way out: your H is burned and you receive your share of the ETH in the walls. Possible only after the holders have voted a new version in. burns the H you give up and pays you the same share of the ETH of every wall, and of the ETH waiting and kept for them: give up a tenth of the H in holders' hands, the H still owed to holders counted in, and you are paid a tenth of that ETH, whatever the walls hold at that moment. The page asks the contract what your exit would pay right now, and your transaction carries a minimum 1 % under that answer. If the exit pays that minimum or more when it is confirmed, you are paid and your H is burned. If it would pay less, the contract refuses it whole: nothing is burned and you keep your H.

An exit is a share of the H in holders' hands at that moment. A wallet that holds most of all H (measured: more than about 70 %) can make its own share slightly larger (measured: by at most about a quarter of a percent of the exit's ETH) by selling a little, waiting about three Hook blocks and buying back, at the cost of those who stay.

  1. 1Anyone proposes a new versionA contract whose code is already on the chain, with a deposit. The proposal opens nothing by itself.
  2. 2Holders vote YES or NOA vote is final. What it counts is the H that is Powered Up in the wallet at the exact moment the vote ends, and its Your Powered H multiplied by the time you have held it, counted by the contract in whole points: 1 point is 1,000 H Powered for one Hook day. It decides your share of the daily holder rewards and the weight of your vote: twice the score, twice the share.. No team key can decide it or stop it.
  3. 3A waiting time after approvalThen anyone can make the new version active, with exactly the code that was voted on.
  4. 4The way out is openEvery holder may leave with their share of the walls' ETH, or move that share to the new version. Nobody has to do either: holders who stay keep their H.
A vote, from start to end. A proposal opens the vote; there is no result while it runs. Then the votes are counted. If it is approved, a waiting time follows before the new version can be made active. Only then may each holder leave with their share or move to the new version. The vote runs for 7 d 14 min. The count takes 11 h 57 min. The waiting time is 1 d 2 min.

Getting your funds out without this site

This site only reads the chain and prepares transactions for your own wallet to sign. It holds nothing of yours, and everything it does can be done without it: from the network's block explorer, or with any wallet program.

In short

What it is
every action of this site, done from your own wallet and the explorer.
Why it's there
the contract does not need us.
How you use it
follow the steps below with the contract's address.
What it does for you
your funds stay reachable even if this site is gone.

H in your own wallet

Your H is a token in your own wallet. It needs nothing from this site to be held, sent or sold.

Rewards the contract owes you. Open the main contract on the block explorer (0x300d5D5a9FaB7EbB3E5e7e14a1E02BA1763A68EC ), go to its "Write contract" tab, connect your wallet and call claimAllRewards. It sends your mining rewards that are ready and your holder rewards. claimRewards sends only the holder rewards, claimMiningRewards only the mining rewards.

An exit, once the holders have voted a new version in. On the same tab the function is exit, with two numbers: the H you give up, in the token's smallest unit (1 H is 1 followed by 18 zeros), and the least ETH you accept, in the same kind of unit. Ask the contract first what your amount would pay: previewExit, on the "Read contract" tab.

On the explorer you type that least amount yourself. 0 means you accept any amount, however little. This site sets it 1 % under the contract's own answer, so that an exit which would pay less is refused whole and you keep your H.

hooked-miner

The miner's funds are in an ordinary wallet whose private key you hold.

Any wallet program that imports that key controls them, with or without the miner, on this machine or another.

The Vault

Find your vault. On the explorer open the vault factory (0x36464BEC5B3d1e949bFb4c46c0194c6Cfd6DfCeB ), and on its "Read contract" tab ask vaultOf with your wallet's address. The answer is your vault's address, the same before and after you opened it.

Take everything out. Open that address, go to "Write contract", connect the wallet that owns the vault and call withdrawAll. There is nothing to type. It sends all the vault's H, then all its ETH, to the owner's wallet and to no other address.

  • H you take out arrives in your wallet as new H: its waiting period starts again, and H bought less than a day ago gives up its rebate.
  • Taking H out is the H token's own transfer: the vault cannot make the token do what it would not.
  • Rewards the vault is owed and has not received are not in it yet. They reach it in three ways: you call claimRewards or claimMiningRewards on the vault; anyone calls settleFor with the vault's address on the main contract, for its H paid to buyers for their Work. It can be collected about one day after the block it was credited in, and it never expires.; or the daily payout sends its ETH and H paid to wallets that hold Powered H. They come from a share of every sell fee and of the H that mining releases, and are shared out once a day.. Then take them out.
  • If the owner's address cannot receive ETH, withdrawAll is refused whole; withdrawH still takes the H out.
  • If you lose the wallet that owns the vault, nobody can take anything out of it: not you, not us, not anyone.

Four protocols of one idea, side by side

HBTC, HETH v1 and HBNB are earlier protocols of the same idea: a pool in which buying mines. This table sets their mechanics beside this protocol's. Each line about another protocol says what its own public site showed on 10 October 2026; they may have changed since. Where a site does not state a thing, the table says so. It describes how each works and judges none of them.

About one day after its block. It never expires, and it is sent to the wallet once it reaches the payout minimum
HBTC
After its block closes. It does not expire
HETH v1
Right after the block closes. It does not expire
HBNB
From the start of the second round after it. It does not expire

Buy walls below the price

GetHooked (this protocol)
Seven walls below an anchor. The anchor follows a time-weighted price; after a crash the walls are rebuilt lower only once the price has stayed below every wall across a block's end
HBTC
Seven tiers of buy orders below an anchor price, which it calls the Burn Net
HETH v1
Seven buy orders at set depths below a reference price
HBNB
Fourteen walls

Who can change the contract

GetHooked (this protocol)
No owner and no admin key. A new version becomes active only through the holders' vote
HBTC
Its site states no owner, no admin keys and no upgrade path

None described on its site
HETH v1
None described on its site
HBNB
None described on its site

Price and market cap in USD on its site

The words used in this table: Your share of one Hook block's mining. It is the fee you paid on your buys in that block, so a larger buy earns a larger share of that block's H. · The contract's own unit of time, about seven minutes. Mining, rewards and the walls all run on it. It is not the chain's block. · The stockpile of H that mining did not release. Bonds are sold from it. None of it exists as tokens until a bond is delivered. · The reference price the walls hang below. Once per slot (about one hour) the contract compares it with the lowest of the last four hourly prices: it can rise or stay. It comes down only when the walls are rebuilt after a full crash, once there is ETH for the smallest wall. · The price averaged over a period, each price counted for as long as it lasted. One large trade cannot move it much, so the contract uses it instead of the price of the moment. · H you have held for about one day or more. It shares the daily holder rewards and counts in the holders' vote. · The smallest reward the contract sends out by itself. A payout has a fee, so smaller amounts wait and keep adding up; you can claim them yourself at any time. · A new contract that holders may move to. The code calls it the successor. It becomes active only through the holders' vote, and only with exactly the code that was voted on.

Where this design comes from

The idea that a buy mines, and its name, proof of swap, come from HBTC (Hooked Bitcoin). Its whitepaper says: "Proof-of-work is replaced by proof-of-swap: the fee paid on a purchase is the electricity, the purchase itself is the hash, and the pool is the coinbase."

HETH v1 (Hooked Ethereum) brought that design to an ETH pair, with HBTC's contracts. This protocol is built from HETH v1's code: it keeps proof of swap, and changes what a block releases, who can earn Work, how the walls are placed, and adds what the table above lists.

HBTC's is the earliest use of the name for this mechanic that we found. An older relative of the idea is the fee mining some exchanges ran in 2018, under another name.

We found no public code repository of HBTC or of HETH v1 to link. The published code of both is the verified source of their contracts.

What is new here

This protocol starts from HETH v1's design and changes how its parts work. It is a new token with its own launch: H of HETH v1 cannot be converted into it.

  • Only real buys mineNobody but the protocol can add liquidity to this pool. So liquidity lent for the length of one transaction cannot be used to earn Work.
  • Walls follow averaged pricesWalls are placed and moved on time-weighted prices of periods that have ended, never on a price someone can push inside one transaction.
  • Holding lowers your sale feeH you have held for about a day is Powered. The fee on a sale of Powered H falls in steps from 10 % to 3 % the longer it is held, and part of a buy's fee can come back as a rebate.
  • Sellers pay holdersA share of every sell fee goes to the wallets that hold Powered H. It is shared out once a day, together with a share of the H that mining releases.
  • New H follows demandWhen buying fades, a block releases less new H. The rest waits in the Vein and leaves it only through bonds, whose ETH goes to the walls.
  • A sell is paid while ETH is thereA sell is never refused while ETH is there to pay it. A sell larger than that ETH is paid only in part. After a full crash the contract rebuilds the deepest wall.
  • Every change leaves a public recordEvery change to the walls is written to the chain as an event. Anyone can rebuild every figure on this site from the contract's events and its own answers.
  • Said plainly: where to buyTo earn Work, buy on this site or from your own wallet. A buy sent through an aggregator may not pass the Work on to you.

The words used here: Your share of one Hook block's mining. It is the fee you paid on your buys in that block, so a larger buy earns a larger share of that block's H. · The price averaged over a period, each price counted for as long as it lasted. One large trade cannot move it much, so the contract uses it instead of the price of the moment. · H you have held for about one day or more. It shares the daily holder rewards and counts in the holders' vote. · Part of a buy's fee, set aside when you buy. When that H becomes Powered, the part your sale fee then allows is paid back with your holder rewards, on the H you still hold: one seventh for a wallet new to Powered H, all of it for a Loyal wallet. · The stockpile of H that mining did not release. Bonds are sold from it. None of it exists as tokens until a bond is delivered. · You pay ETH now and receive H from the Vein about one day later, at a price the contract sets when you buy. The ETH goes to the walls. · A full crash is the price falling through every wall. The contract then sets the anchor lower and rebuilds the deepest wall from the ETH waiting for the walls, if it is at least the smallest wall; otherwise as soon as it is. The other walls return as the price recovers.

None of this is a promise of a price, of a return or of protection against a fall. Walls slow a fall; they do not stop it.
