what is PITHOS?

A token launchpad on Elysium. Coins launch on a bonding curve priced in HYPE. After they graduate, they can receive offerings from later coins.

what is new here?

The offering. A creator can route part of a coin's fees to buy back and burn another coin of their choice. New coins worship old ones, so communities gain a reason to help each other launch.

is $PITHOS live?

No. There is no contract address.

do I need real money for the testnet app?

No. It is a simulation. You start with 100 simulated HYPE.

does a team get tokens from launched coins?

No. Launched coins have no team allocation.

can a creator change their fee or god later?

No. They are fixed at launch. See offerings for one proposed exception, which is not decided.

what happens if the god I chose dies?

The offering share is redirected to your coin's own fire until the god can be bought again.

why are there no epochs?

Because people live in every timezone, and a fixed hour favours some of them.

how many gods sit on Olympus?

what are the fee numbers?

The ones marked TBD are placeholders. The final parameters will be published here.

where do I get help?
