How Voidling works.

Overview

Voidling is a fixed-supply token built around one simple creature: the more supply it absorbs, the heavier it becomes. Tokens enter the Voidling and never come back. The token itself stays deliberately simple. The protocol logic lives in a separate vault that receives creator fees in ETH.

The vault transforms trading volume into ETH for stakers, ETH for burners and market buybacks that permanently destroy $VOID.

Where the ETH comes from

Each trade carries a 2% creator tax, configured at launch with the Voidling Vault as its direct recipient. The fees therefore never pass through a personal wallet. Anyone can trigger a harvest; no administrator needs to approve the normal distribution.

No transfer tax. Wallet-to-wallet transfers remain standard ERC-20 transfers.
No reward token. Rewards are paid from real fee revenue in ETH.
No hidden mint. Supply cannot increase after launch.

The split

Every harvest is accounted for across four destinations.

Stakers45%pro-rata to active stake

Gravity20%pro-rata to permanent burn score

Active Pulse15%pro-rata to burns made this hour

Buyback20%buys and burns $VOID

Hourly Pulses

A Pulse is a permissionless one-hour burn round. Its identifier is derived directly from block time:

pulseId = block.timestamp / 1 hours

Burn during a Pulse and receive a proportional share of its reward bucket. When a Pulse ends with no valid burn, its entire bucket rolls forward. A quiet hour therefore makes the next active hour heavier.

Pulse Score resets every hour. Gravity Score is permanent. There is no winner-takes-all jackpot and no loop over participants.

Staking

Stakers receive 45% of harvested ETH through a reward-per-token accumulator. A position is locked for 30 days by default. It can exit early, but 50% of the withdrawn principal is burned. Accrued ETH rewards remain claimable.

Gravity Score

Every token burned through the vault adds one point to the wallet’s Gravity Score. This score is non-transferable, cannot decrease and receives 20% of every future harvest. Burning is irreversible.

Buyback and burn

The remaining 20% accumulates as ETH reserved for buybacks. During normal operation, it can only be routed through the canonical $VOID pool. Every token received is burned in the same transaction.

Risks

Emergency control. The owner can activate the circuit breaker. New stakes, burns, harvests and buybacks stop immediately; stakers can exit without penalty and rewards remain claimable. After a public 72-hour delay, the owner can recover assets. Once a recovery begins, normal operation cannot resume.
Smart-contract risk. A production deployment requires independent review and invariant testing.
Volume risk. Rewards depend on trading activity. No volume means no new ETH rewards.
Market risk. Deflation does not guarantee price appreciation.
Regulatory risk. Fee-sharing tokens may be regulated depending on jurisdiction.
