pithos in one minute
A pithos is the great Greek storage jar. The real "Pandora's box" was a pithos. Ours is a jar of offerings.
PITHOS is a token launchpad on Elysium, Kinetiq's Layer 2 for Hyperliquid, with HYPE as gas.
what happens here
- Anyone can launch a coin. It starts on a classic bonding curve, priced in HYPE. A coin on the curve is raw clay.
- It is fired in the kiln. At the graduation threshold, liquidity migrates to a DEX pool on Elysium. A fired coin becomes a god.
- The creator chooses four roads. The creator sets the trading fee of their coin and splits it between the creator, the holders, the fire, and the offering.
- The offering is the new road. The creator picks a god, any fired coin on PITHOS, and that share of the fees continuously buys back and burns that god.
- Olympus keeps score. The 12 gods that receive the most offerings over a rolling window sit on Olympus. There are no fixed epochs.
why it matters
Every community that has already graduated has a reason to push the new launches that worship them. That creates alliances, cults and rivalries, and it makes the whole launchpad pull in the same direction.

Values marked TBD are placeholders. The simulation runs on the number shown beside them, so you can see the mechanics, but none of those numbers are final.
