Basics

What is PAM? An ERC-20 on Ethereum that pays $ASTEROID to holders every time someone trades it. Hold, earn.

What is $ASTEROID? An existing memecoin at 0xf280B16EF293D8e534e370794ef26bF312694126. ~$150M market cap, 0% tax, ownership renounced. We don't control it. PAM buys it with the collected fees and distributes it pro-rata to PAM holders.

How is this different from 2021 reflection tokens? 2021 reflection took the fee in the native token and had to sell into its own pool to pay rewards. PAM takes the fee in ETH via a V4 hook and swaps to $ASTEROID on a separate pool. The $PAM pool is never sold into by the contract. Full context in the shift.

Buying and rewards

Where do I buy? Use the Buy PAM button on the site. It opens a picker with V4-compatible trading terminals (Padre, GMGN, Maestro, Banana). Stock Uniswap UI currently can't route buys into V4 hook pools cleanly.

How much is the fee? 4% on buys, 6% on sells, paid in ETH (not $PAM). 0% on wallet-to-wallet transfers.

When do rewards arrive? They accrue continuously in the tracker. When the accumulated ETH pool crosses 0.01 ETH, the contract auto-swaps it to $ASTEROID and credits all holders. High volume: every few minutes. Low volume: hourly or daily.

Do I have to do anything? Hold $PAM in your wallet. Check the dashboard when you want to claim. One tx.

Do rewards expire? No. They sit in the tracker until you claim.

How much will I earn? Depends on volume. More volume means more fees, more $ASTEROID distributed, bigger rewards. Your share = your balance / tracked supply. Any published APY is backward-looking.

Airdrop

How do I know if I got it? Held enough $ASTEROID at a retroactive snapshot to land in the top 2,000 by balance (excluding CEXes, burn, LPs)? You got 150,000 $PAM directly. Check Etherscan for an incoming transfer at the launch block.

I held on a CEX. Excluded. The exchange was the holder of record.

No airdrop. Can I still earn? Yes. Buy $PAM and you earn from your first block.

Tokenomics

Total supply? 1,000,000,000 $PAM, immutable. No mint function.

Allocation? 60% LP (locked 6-12 months), 30% airdrop (top 2,000 $ASTEROID holders × 150k), 10% team timelock (100 years), 0% treasury.

How does the team make money? The 100M team timelock is a tracked holder, so it accrues $ASTEROID proportionally like any other holder. A permissionless claimDividend() forwards the accumulated $ASTEROID to the team multisig. No LP fee claim, no treasury, no vesting. Same math as you.

The contracts

Can the team change fees, pause trading, mint, or freeze wallets? None of the above. Fees are constant in bytecode. No pause, no blacklist, no mint. Ownership is renounced at launch.

What if the team disappears? Contracts keep working. Trades, fees, distributions, claims all continue autonomously. The off-chain site is a chain-reading client, anyone can rebuild it.

Audited? Self-audit + 170 tests (unit + fork + fuzz + invariant, 5,000 run fuzz + 8,192 stateful). Source verified on Etherscan at launch.

Source code? GitHub + Etherscan-verified. MIT license.

Expectations

Sustainable yield? Rewards depend on volume. Volume depends on attention. Attention decays. Model PAM as reflective of activity, not a fixed-yield instrument.

Should I buy? Your call. Read the docs, check the contracts, size what you're comfortable losing entirely.
