Uniswap v4 hook · 1,000 Blocks

A pyramid that pays you.Own a Block in it.

1,000 Blocks form a referral tree on a Uniswap v4 pool. Own one and earn a decaying cut of everyone you recruit, plus a redeemable Vault that ratchets up from every trade. A Block is a sellable affiliate business, and the buyer inherits the whole downline.

How it works

Attribute, pay, rank.

Referrals are opt-in. The hook never gates a swap.

01

Trade, with or without a link

Anyone can trade $PYRAMID. Arrive through a Block's link and your trades are attributed to it, permanently. Arrive with no link and you pay the top fee. A referral is a discount and it feeds your referrer, never a gate.

02

Every fee splits four ways

The fee on each trade splits to the referral chain (halving across 5 levels), the Vault shared across all Blocks, a $PYRAMID buyback-and-burn, and the treasury. Money always traces to trading, never to joining.

03

Own a Block to earn

Buy one of the 1,000 Blocks to become a node. You earn the referral cut and the Vault, rank up to cut your own fee, and can sell the Block whenever with its downline and Vault attached.

Simulation

Follow one trade up the tree.

Watch a single trader swap. A shrinking cut of their fee climbs the chain of Blocks that referred them, five levels up. The Blocks earn; the trader does not, unless they own one.

Illustrative. The base row stands in for traders; the rows above are Blocks. No principal changes hands, only a share of the swap fee, credited to each Block's controller.

Block

One of the 1,000 NFTs, and a node in the tree. A Block earns a cut whenever anyone beneath it trades. Owning a Block is the only way to be on the earning side.

Trader

Anyone swapping $PYRAMID. A trader attaches to the Block that referred them and pays the fee. They earn nothing themselves unless they also own a Block.

Referrer

The Block directly above a trader. When that trader swaps, the referrer takes the largest slice of the chain, 50%, then it halves at every step above.

The chain

The fee climbs up to 5 Blocks, halving each step: 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125 percent. Whatever is left, or a short chain's tail, falls to the protocol.

The Vault

Every Block has a Vault that only goes up.

A slice of every trade seals into a redeemable vault shared equally across the 1,000 Blocks. It ratchets up, is backed one to one by real fees, and it transfers to the buyer when you sell.

Sealed Vault per Block
Trades, in sequence
max0

Every trade adds to the Vault. The line never drops, so the redeemable minimum a Block carries can only climb over time.

Never decreases

Ratchets up only

The Vault is monotonic. It never decreases while you hold the Block.

Backed one to one

Every unit of Vault is covered by real fees the protocol holds. No fractional reserve.

Conveys on sale

Sell the Block and the accrued Vault goes to the buyer, so each Block has a hard, on-chain minimum price.

Funded by trading

30% of a referred fee and 50% of a walk-in fee feed the Vault, split equally across all 1,000 Blocks.

Even a Block that never recruits anyone still fills. The Vault is the reason a slot is worth owning before it has a downline.

Fee tiers

10% walk-in, 5% referred, less by rank.

A trade with no referral pays 10%, a referred trade pays 5%, and ranked Block owners pay down to 1%. Every fee splits to the referral chain, the Vault, a $PYRAMID buyback, and the treasury.

Ranked rates apply to a Block owner's own trades. Buys and sells pay the same tier, and there is no exit tax. It is a swap fee, not a transfer tax: plain transfers are free.

Ranks

Rank cuts your fee, and hardens your Vault.

A Block ranks up once its direct recruits and downline volume clear the thresholds. Each rank cuts the owner's own swap fee, and upper tiers are supply-capped, so at most 100 Blocks hold Diamond at once.

The Block is the asset. Sell it and the buyer inherits every future reward from your downline and the accrued Vault. A sold Block is dormant for 7 days, then one tier down until the buyer trades its reactivation volume. The rewards you already earned, and your own place in the tree, stay with you.

$PYRAMID

One token, bought back on every trade.

Fixed one billion supply, no mint function, no transfer tax. Part of every trade, every Block resale, and every operator rent payment buys $PYRAMID back and burns it, so supply only shrinks.

The mint

Selling 1,000 Blocks raises the launch capital.

Launch capital splits in two, 50% into locked liquidity and 50% into vested marketing, both published on chain.

The revenue map

Where a swap fee goes.

An attributed trade, one that arrived through a referral, splits four ways.

  • Referral chain40%
  • Vault20%
  • $PYRAMID buyback10%
  • Treasury30%

A walk-in trade with no referral splits 30% Vault, 20% $PYRAMID buyback, and 50% treasury.

Fixed supply, no mint

1,000,000,000 tokens mint once at deploy; there is no mint function, so supply cannot inflate. Holders can burn.

Buyback and burn

A slice of every trade, resale, and rent payment buys $PYRAMID and burns it: constant buy pressure plus deflation, for every holder.

Captive pool

$PYRAMID trades in one pool and exists nowhere else, so every activation and rent payment is a taxed buy that feeds the same flywheel.

No transfer tax

Only trading in the pool is charged. Plain transfers, bridges, and exchange deposits are free.

Block owners earn the referral and Vault income. Token holders get the buyback and burn. Both are funded by the same trading.

Pyramid Operators

Turn a Block into a business.

Any Block can become a Pyramid Operator: pay recurring $PYRAMID rent to run referrals at scale, offer your recruits perks, and earn the chain cut on every trade you bring on-chain.

OPERATORYOUR BLOCK$PYRAMID rentPROTOCOLtrading volume, referral cut

An operator earns the referral chain cut automatically for every client who trades on-chain under their Block, at scale, with no custody risk. That is why volume stays in the pool at full fee instead of leaking off-protocol. The rent is a subscription for the rails, and a recurring $PYRAMID sink.

Recruit at scale

Bring traders under your Block and earn the referral cut on all their on-chain volume, automatically.

Set your own perks

Discount your recruits, pass your income down, or airdrop from your own funds. Compete on generosity.

Pay rent in $PYRAMID

Recurring rent for operator status and tools, a large recurring token sink split between burn and treasury.

Referral infrastructure

Not a pyramid, a distribution layer. Fifty operators beat fifty thousand individual recruiters.

The hard rule

Operators may only give away their own share, never extract more from a recruit than the base fee, and never promise returns. Terms are fixed when a recruit joins and can only change in their favour.

Trust

Where the money comes from.

Rewards are swap fees distributed along a referral graph by an immutable hook. Not entry fees.

Money from trading, not joining

Every payout traces to someone trading, never to someone paying in. Mint proceeds fund liquidity and marketing, never the upline. That is the line Forsage crossed and this one does not.

Locked LP, vested marketing

The mint splits 50/50 into locked liquidity and vested marketing, both published on chain, so the team cannot pull the pool or walk with the raise.

Fixed supply, no mint function

1,000,000,000 $PYRAMID mint once at deploy. No mint function, so supply cannot inflate. A slice of every trade buys it back and burns it.

No promised returns

Earnings are a share of real trading volume. No yield is promised or implied, and returns depend entirely on activity.

Sybil defenses

A referral graph is gamed in minutes without defenses. These run in the hook.

  • Referrer credited only after the invitee clears a minimum first-trade volume
  • Rolling 24h cap on invites credited per Block
  • Ranks are volume-weighted, zero-volume wallets count for nothing
  • Self-referral and cycle guards in attribution
  • A trader's attribution is set once and is immutable
  • Reward walk is depth-capped, no unbounded cut to the root
  • Same-tx round-trip detection suppresses self-swap farming

One of exactly 1,000 NFTs, fixed forever. A Block is three things at once: a node in the referral tree, a sellable affiliate business, and a Vault that only ever grows. Owning a Block is the only way to earn from the protocol.
