Diecast

Struck once at construction. Read by every trade after.

‹ THE PROBLEM ›

Rules you rent, or rules you own.

A launch parameter that can be edited after launch is a rule you are renting. Its value is the landlord's patience.

Rules on a nail The tunable token A fee with a setter. A supply with a minter. A switch that pauses the market. Every holder is a counterparty to whoever holds the dials — and the dials are not auditable.
Rules in stone The struck token The fee, the split rule and the supply written once at construction, into a contract built without the functions that could accept new values.

‹ THE SOLUTION ›

One face, struck once, read forever.

Diecast carries one face from a fixed set of five. That face decides where every trade's fee goes, and it can never be restruck.

Fixed setFive facesFull Retire to Full Pool. The universe of possible rules is knowable in full before launch.
Per trade2% feeTaken with each purchase and each sale. Never raised, never waived, never collected by a wallet.
Two destinationsRetire · deepenRetired supply leaves circulation forever. Pool depth stays in the market. There is no third.
Zero settersNothing movesNo setter, no second strike, no restrike authority, no pause, no reissue.

‹ THESIS ›

Every token makes its last editable decision eventually. Diecast makes it first.

The Face Choice happens once, at construction, in the open — and then never again.

‹ THE PARTS ›

Five things to understand.

IThe Face SetThe fixed menu of five. It cannot grow, shrink or reorder.
IIThe struck faceThe one face chosen at construction. A public reading from block one.
IIIThe Trade Fee2% on buys and sells alike. It never lands in a wallet.
IVRetired SupplyDIEC removed from circulation. It can never be reissued.
VPool DepthThe share that stays in the market. Trading makes the market thicker.

‹ THE MARKET ›

Quoted in ETH, on Ethereum.

Diecast trades on Uniswap v4. The Pool is the whole market, and the whole supply is in it from the first block.

VenueUniswap v4The Pool lives on Ethereum mainnet. Depth is public market data, checkable by anyone.
QuoteETH per DIECEach purchase and each sale is priced in ETH, and each pays the same 2%.
SupplyAll of it, day one400,000 DIEC exist, and 400,000 DIEC are tradable from day one. Nothing is held back.

‹ HOW IT WORKS ›

What every trade does.

STEP ONE

The fee is paid

2% of the trade, on buys and on sells. The arithmetic never varies.

STEP TWO

The face is read

The transfer reads the struck face — the value written at construction.

STEP THREE

One share retires

The retiring share removes DIEC from circulation, permanently.

STEP FOUR

One share deepens

The deepening share stays in the market as Pool Depth.

‹ WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE ›

Rules you can hold against anyone.

VerifyRead the struck face from the contract yourself, from the first block.
HoldKnow the fee, the split and the supply cannot be rewritten by anyone.
TradeTrade a market where the fee feeds only the two destinations the face names.
