How nesting pays

This is not staking — there is no cooldown, no unstake, no position to unwind. The burned token is gone forever; what you keep is a permanent Squawk and its claim on every fee the system takes: 75% of the token's 2% swap fee, plus the platform's own revenue — swap desk, leverage desk, Hatchery — all converted to real tokenized stocks and streamed to nested Squawks.

Your share is your tier weight (Common 1.0x → Legendary 5.0x), locked the moment you nest. And until a track has its first nested Squawk, its rewards pile up in a pot — the first to nest on each track takes the whole pot. Nine tracks, nine races.

The gene bag at launch

Live odds are always the bag's current composition — public on-chain state, checkable at any moment. Drawing your own tier back is a possible outcome. Every re-incubation fee is split 40% burned · 30% Redemption Vault · 30% treasury.

The rules

▸ Only un-nested Squawks can mutate — nesting freezes your form and tier forever.

▸ Your reward weight is locked at the moment you nest: roll for a Legendary before you commit, because 5.0x vs 1.0x is a 5x difference in your stock stream, for life.

▸ You can never lose your Squawk here. The fee is the only thing at stake.

What it does

Nest a Squawk — burn the 1.0 $SQUAWKS backing it — and it becomes permanent, irreversible, and starts earning its track's tokenized stock (NVDA, TSLA, AAPL…) from that moment on. The token supply shrinks with every nesting; the fee stream it earns from does not.

$SQUAWKS also powers the Hatchery (re-incubation fees, 40% burned) and backs the Redemption Vault — the floor under every Squawk that only rises with volume.

The nine tracks

Every Squawk belongs to one of nine stock tracks (370 each), plus three Elder Squawks that take a direct 2.5% cut of everything. Reward stocks are announced at launch — the assignment is committed on-chain as a hash before mint, so nothing can be reassigned after the fact.

Until a track has its first nested Squawk, its rewards pile up in a pot — and the first to nest on that track takes it all. Nine tracks, nine races.

Road to launch

☐ NFT mint (classic collection — your Squawk, forever)

☐ Contracts tested and independently audited

☐ Tier assignment committed on-chain · liquidity seeded · one-way launch

▸ Full mechanics live in Docs. Everything ships only after audit — no shortcuts with real money.

The Short Version

3,333 Squawks mint as a normal NFT collection — your Squawk is yours, forever, and can never be taken apart by any token mechanic. Alongside the flock lives $SQUAWKS: a token with only 3,333 units in existence, trading on one canonical pool with a 2% fee the token itself enforces.

Nest a Squawk — burn the 1.0 $SQUAWKS backing it — and it becomes permanent, irreversible, and starts earning its track's tokenized stock (NVDA, TSLA, AAPL…) from that moment on. The token supply shrinks with every nesting; the fee stream it earns from does not.

And unlike anyone else: the whole Squawks platform — the swap desk, the Hatchery — feeds the same reward pots. Traders and gamblers fund the nesters, and so does every trade on the site.

Nesting — the one-way door

Own a Squawk and 1.0 $SQUAWKS? Nest it. The token burns, the nest lights up, and your Squawk earns its assigned stock for as long as it exists. This is not staking — there is no position to unwind, no escrow, no way back. What you keep is the Squawk and its claim on every fee the system ever takes.

Rewards are paid in real tokenized stocks. Each of the nine tracks (370 Squawks each) has one reward stock; three unique Elder Squawks take a direct 2.5% cut of every track's inflow. Your share is set by your Squawk's tier weight: Common 1.0x · Uncommon 1.5x · Rare 2.5x · Legendary 5.0x — locked at the moment you nest.

Each track's rewards accrue from day one. Until a track has its first nested Squawk, its share collects in a pot — and the first Squawk nested on that track claims the entire pot. Nine tracks, nine races.

The Hatchery — mutation, not minting

Supply never grows. What the Hatchery does after mint is re-incubation: pay a fee in $SQUAWKS and your Squawk rerolls its tier against a conserved gene bag. You put your tier back in the bag and draw a new one — the world's total count of every tier is constant forever; rarity only ever changes hands. The odds are the bag's live composition: public on-chain state, checkable at any moment.

Unlike the competition's reroll, you can never lose your Squawk — you risk the fee, never the NFT. And only un-nested Squawks can mutate: nesting freezes your form forever, so rolling for a Legendary before you commit is the game — the tier you nest with sets your share of the stream for life.

Every re-incubation fee is split: 40% burned (the supply only shrinks), 30% to the Redemption Vault, 30% to treasury.

Where every dollar goes

The token's fee is 2% of volume on the canonical pool — a full point cheaper than the competition — and more of it goes to holders:

Wallet-to-wallet transfers pay nothing. The fee applies only when a trade settles against the canonical pool — and the token refuses to settle anywhere else, so a rogue pool cannot even be seeded.

The invariants

Supply never grows. 3,333 Squawks mint once; no contract can create more. It only shrinks: vault redemptions burn Squawks, and 40% of every mutation fee burns tokens.

Nesting is forever. No function anywhere can un-nest a Squawk or unfreeze its tier.

The gene bag is conserved. Mutation swaps tiers; it never creates or destroys them. The number of Legendaries in the world is fixed at launch, for good.

Your Squawk is yours. No token movement can dissolve it, and no admin power exists that can move your balance or your Squawks — the only controls are an emergency pause and venue bans that by construction can never touch a wallet.

Trust & verify

Which Squawk each id is, which stock it earns, and the launch tier mix are fixed before launch and committed on-chain as a hash — re-run the published generator with the published seed and the hash must match. Fee pots are destination-locked: only the stock converter can pull the reflections pot, only the LP vault its pot, and the Redemption Vault's share can be pushed nowhere else. There is no arbitrary sweep function in any contract.
