$CRAB is the token of Crab Market. Every trade pays a fee, and a fixed share of that fee fills the hourly pot that pays the crabs. It is also the only thing that wakes a crab or levels up its shell, and every token used that way is burned for good.
Four things happen to the money, and one thing happens to the token. Follow the arrows.
Press play and follow one coin round the ring.
The honest part: the loop only turns if people trade. No trading means no fee, no pot and no pay that hour. Burning makes the supply smaller. It does not promise a higher price.
Three reasons people will need it, all about use and none about price. Then three reasons to think twice. You should hear both before the token exists, not after.
All 2,222 crabs start asleep, and a sleeping crab earns nothing. The only way to wake one is to burn $CRAB. A crab that is sold or moved goes back to sleep, and the new owner has to wake it again. Whether the shell level survives a sale is not decided yet. The $CRAB you burned never comes back.
Each level gives a crab a bigger share of every hourly pot, and each one costs more $CRAB than the last. Burned tokens do not go to the team and are not recycled. They are gone for good.
Each buy and each sell pays the fee that fills the pot, whoever makes the trade. A busy market means a bigger tide. You can watch it happen on the chain, hour by hour.
Only awake crabs get paid. $CRAB sitting in your wallet earns no stocks and no dollars. It is fuel, not a savings account.
The fee that fills the pot comes out of your trade. Trading in and out many times costs you money each time.
It can fall a lot, and it can go to zero. A burn cannot be undone. Only use money you can afford to lose.
Each level gives the crab a bigger share of every hourly pot and a bigger island. The level shows on the NFT picture itself.

Not set yet. The exact burn for each step and the share each level gets will be set before launch and published here and in the docs. We will not guess them for you.
No more $CRAB can ever be made. Every wake and every level destroys some. Move the sliders to decide how far the crabs climb, and watch how much is gone for good.
Each square is 1% of the supply. Coral squares are burned.
What this is, and is not. It is arithmetic on the burn ladder above. It is not a prediction of how many crabs will wake, and a smaller supply does not promise a higher price.
Change any number and watch the pay move. This is an illustration, not a forecast. Nobody knows what the real trading volume will be.
Read this before you screenshot it. Every number marked "example" is made up so the sliders have somewhere to start. Pay is handed out as tokenised stocks and USDG (digital dollars), shown here in dollars before swap costs. If volume is zero, pay is zero. If more crabs wake up, each one gets a smaller slice of the same pot.
There is no $CRAB token today. Any token using this name right now is fake.
When it launches it will launch on Pons, on Robinhood Chain. The contract address and the buy button will appear in this box, on this site, and nowhere else first. Do not trust an address from a reply, a DM or a chat group.
The race to wake. The pot fills from the very first trade, even while every crab is still asleep, and it carries over from hour to hour. So the first crabs to wake split the first tide between them.
The address appears on this page the minute the token is live. Until then the box above stays yellow, and anything for sale under this name is fake.
No. Only awake crabs get paid. The token is what you burn to wake a crab and to level it up.
No. The mint costs 0.0022 ETH. You need $CRAB afterwards, to wake the crab.
No. Anyone can trade it once it is live. Every trade feeds the pot, whoever makes it.
To the team and to the launchpad. The split is fixed in the contract and anyone can read it.
They are destroyed. They do not go to the team, to a treasury or back into the pot. The supply gets smaller by that amount, for good.
Then the pot is empty and that hour pays nothing. Pay rises and falls with trading volume, and it can be zero.
Yes, in two ways. If nobody trades, there is no fee. And the token launches on Pons, whose owner has some powers over where a creator's fee is sent. The risks section of the docs explains this in full.
Nobody can promise that, and we do not. Burns make the supply smaller. The price is set by buyers and sellers, and it can fall.
The list opens before the mint, and the mint comes before the token. Get on the list and you will hear about each step here.
