how the moat works.
eight rules. each one is short. none of them change after a coin launches.
the moat
every coin launches in a uniswap v4 pool on elysium with moat hooks attached. the hooks check every swap before it settles. no hooks, no coin.
sandwich killer
if the same wallet buys and sells a coin in the same block, the second leg pays a heavy toll. the toll goes to the coin's moat pot, not to the bot.
one way per block
a wallet can trade a coin in one direction per block: buy or sell, not both. that alone takes the profit out of a classic sandwich.
protected swap
on moat's site your slippage is set tight for you, and you see an mev risk estimate (low, medium, high) before you trade. it's an estimate, not a promise.
bot toll
the faster a wallet flips a coin, the higher its fee. normal holders pay the normal fee. the creator picks the toll strength (low, medium, high) at launch.
max wallet
the creator can cap how much of the supply one wallet may hold. fewer whales, fewer dumps.
moat pot
fees and tolls collect in each coin's own pot. payouts send HYPE to holders by share of supply, and every payout transaction is public.
fixed rules
a coin's moat settings are written at launch and can't be changed afterwards. not by the creator, not by moat.
questions
no. it makes the common attacks expensive or unprofitable. new tricks can exist. we'd rather say that than oversell.
the holders of the coin the bot attacked, through that coin's moat pot.
no. toll strength and max wallet are fixed when the coin launches.
never. wallets only connect and sign. anyone asking for a seed phrase is not us.
not yet. contracts are new. only use what you can afford to lose.
contracts are new and unaudited. not affiliated with hyperliquid or kinetiq.
