Questions people ask before they ape

One wallet selling at least 0.25% of the supply in a single transaction, or adding up to that within 60 seconds. Smaller sells never light a torch, and buys never do.

A slice of the dev's own bag. At launch the dev reserves part of their buy (50% by default, 25% at least) and cuts it into 12 torches weighted 1, 2 and 3. Each torch is a burn the dev signed in their wallet before the coin existed. Torch only sends it.

No. One torch per 10 minutes, four at most in the first hour. A big sell during the brake waits in a public queue and lights the next torch when the brake lifts. The first four torches are also the smallest.

If no torch has lit by minute 30, the first one lights anyway. Any torch still standing 30 days after launch burns. The dev gets none of the reserved part back.

A dev sale lights a torch like anyone else's and is written in red with its time. If the dev sells into the reserved part, every remaining torch burns at once; whatever the dev's bag can no longer cover is shown as cancelled, in red.

Not from Torch. The burns are signed before launch and kept by the site, which sends each one when its moment comes. The only way to stop a burn is to empty the tokens it would burn, and selling the reserved part burns every torch left; what cannot burn any more is marked cancelled on the coin page for everyone to see.

No. Launching is free. Trading fees are the ones Stonks charges: 1% to StonkFun and 0.25% to Raydium, 0% to the creator. There is no treasury, no site wallet, and Torch never sees a key.

Yes. The dev's wallet creates it on Stonks (Raydium LaunchLab) with the dev buy in the same transaction. It trades and graduates like any other Stonks coin. Torch only adds the 12 burns and the coin page.

Torch makes no promise about price. A burn removes tokens from the dev's bag, so the dev holds less; it does not stop anyone from selling. Memecoins can go to zero.

Until the first launches, the site shows sample coins with made-up trades, replayed by the real Torch engine so you can see how torches behave. Each one says simulated, and none is indexed by search engines.

Every line of the proof log links to its transaction on Solscan. It burns tokens from the dev's account, signed by the dev, and the share of supply matches the line. The trades that lit it are on the coin page, and the rules are public at /lib/torch.mjs.
