3 steps
1
Trade on the curve
Buys push the price up, sells push it down. No order book, no market maker.
- Price is set by the formula x·y=k
- A phantom reserve keeps the starting price above zero
- Anyone can trade from the second it launches
2
Graduation
At 4 ETH raised the curve closes and the token moves to Uniswap v4.
- The buy that crosses the threshold closes the curve; reserves are swept to the factory (Swept)
- Anyone can send the pool-creation tx (createGraduatedPool)
- Between sweep and pool creation the token can't be traded (waiting)
- Pool creation can be retried; a reserve rescue path opens after 7 days
3
Locked forever
The liquidity NFT is locked in a locker contract permanently. Rug-proof.
- Nobody can withdraw it, the team included
- Part of the fees buys back $WOW, vesting linearly over 5 years

What you are trusting
Anyone can verify the contracts, but trust in the operator is not zero. Here is what you rely on.
- Post-graduation creator revenue arrives via the operator's sweep. v4 pool fees accumulate in the hook until the operator key (feeSweepOperator) or the creator moves them to the payout contract; converting the memecoin-side fees is operator-only. If the operator stops, creator revenue sits in the hook (it is not lost).
- The 70/20/10 split can be retuned. The RevenueSplitter owner can change recipients and shares with immediate effect, except that the $WOW burn share has a 50% floor.
- "No withdrawal path" assumes honest operation. The burn contract has no withdraw function, but nothing stops an operator key from buying back at a price it moved itself. A per-call ETH cap, a minimum interval and a price-impact bound keep what can be extracted per hour capped.
- The owner has rescue powers. Recovering stuck fees, overriding a creator's payout address after a 3-day delay (a creator holding their key can void it by moving the address themselves), reclaiming swept reserves 7 days after graduation. The owner is meant to be a multisig behind a timelock.
Risk
- Memecoins are extremely high risk. Most never graduate and can go to zero.
- Price follows the curve formula. Sell right after a big buy and you take a big loss.
- Smart-contract bugs, chain outages and other technical risks are always there.
- Graduation doesn't finish on its own. Until the pool-creation tx lands the token can't be traded (anyone can send it).
- Unauthorized third-party IP can be stopped at the chain level. Well-known anime or game characters can be blocked or frozen after a rights-holder complaint or by the chain operator (it has happened on Soneium). WOW may also hide them. Original or licensed material only.
- Not investment advice. Do your own research (DYOR) and only play with what you can afford to lose.
