Pops & buybacks
The pop is the moment the machine pays out — not to people, but to the chart.
What the Bubble is
Every coin owns a Bubble: a pot of value funded by trading fees, Treasury earnings, and Pump prizes. Real money sitting in the coin's corner.
Two rules make it different from any treasury you've seen before:
- Nobody can withdraw it. No founder wallet, no admin key, no vote. It cannot be stolen, rugged, or "reallocated".
- It has exactly one use. Buying the coin off the open market — and burning everything it buys.
What fills the meter
The Bubble does not pop on a timer. It pops when the coin's community has burned enough supply.
Every burn — by holders, by trading fees, by previous buybacks — fills the Pop Meter. The meter's target is a set slice of the coin's supply, so pops stay meaningful no matter how big the coin gets.
What happens at 100%
Anyone can trigger the pop. Then:
- Half the Bubble is released. The rest stays loaded for the next pop — the gun is never empty.
- The released value market-buys the coin, spread smoothly over about a day instead of one candle — a staircase, not a wick.
- Every coin it buys is burned. Supply shrinks, which fills the next Pop Meter faster.
Fees fill the Bubble → burns pop it → the pop buys and burns → the next meter fills faster. Forever. That is the eternal pump.
Why holders burn
Burning destroys your coins — and that is exactly the point:
- It fills the Pop Meter toward a buyback you still hold exposure to.
- It feeds today's Pump score, chasing a prize that lands in the Bubble.
- It permanently shrinks the supply everyone else is splitting.
You are not throwing coins away. You are pulling the trigger on a treasury that is only allowed to buy.
A full play, start to finish
- A new coin launches against NVDA. Fees start filling its Treasury and Bubble.
- Holders burn hard on day three and take a daily Pump prize. The award pumps into the Bubble — it does not pop yet.
- The market sees a loaded Bubble and a Pop Meter past half. People buy in front of the coming pop. Organic pump.
- The buying and burning push the meter to 100%. Someone pulls the trigger.
- The Bubble market-buys the coin for a day straight, on top of the rally. Machine pump.
- Everything bought is burned, the supply is smaller, and the Bubble is already refilling from fees. The next pump is loading.
