$BREAK is the cost
of speaking to a vault.
$BREAK is a pure utility token, fair-launched on pump.fun. Fixed 1B supply, no presale, no team unlocks. It exists so the protocol has a unit of account, a sybil tax on attempts, and a coordination mechanism. It does not exist to make holders rich for doing nothing.
The official $BREAK address is published only on X (@break_onchain) at launch. Any address posted before that, or anywhere else, is a scam. Verify before you buy.
01Fair launch
$BREAK fair-launches on pump.fun. 1,000,000,000 tokens are minted once, then mint and freeze authority are revoked. No more can ever be created.
Every token enters circulation through the same bonding curve. No private round, no presale, no KOL allocation, no insider price. The team buys from the same curve as everyone else, at the same moment, at the same price. When the curve completes, liquidity migrates to Raydium and the LP tokens are burned, so nobody can pull the floor out.
02Utility
Every protocol action requires $BREAK:
| Action | Required |
|---|---|
| Attempt against a vault | pay $BREAK (cost scales with tier) |
| Claim a cracked vault | winner takes pot |
| Vote on protocol rules | stake $BREAK (post-mainnet) |
| Fee discount | cumulative volume tiers |
The vault contracts that meter attempts and settle pots ship after audit. Until then, $BREAK trades as a fair-launch token and the utility switches on as each contract goes live.
03Fixed supply, no emission
Supply is fixed at 1B forever. There is no inflation and no emission schedule.
Vault pots are funded entirely by attempt fees. No new tokens are minted to seed them. The protocol takes a small rake (operator cost + tier-up bounty), the rest goes to whoever cracks the vault. Nothing dilutes you from the top.
04What $BREAK does not do
$BREAK does not pay holders for sitting on it. There is no staking-for-APY mechanism. BREAK is not a savings account dressed as a token.
The protocol does not buy $BREAK off the market to prop the price. There is no treasury chart-defense.
The protocol rake stays inside the protocol (operator cost, tier-up bounty, prize top-up). It is not redistributed to token holders as revenue share.
05Why this design
Tokens that promise yield, buybacks, or fee redistribution attract holders whose only relationship to the product is the chart. They do not play. They do not stake. They do not vote. When the chart stops going up, they leave.
$BREAK is meant to be held by people who want to talk to a vault. Pay the cost, take a swing, win a pot or feed one. If none of that interests you, this token is not for you. We think that is correct.
06Sybil resistance
Attempts cost $BREAK and that cost scales with tier. Cheap spam at high tiers becomes economically painful long before it becomes effective. The cost-per-attempt curve is published in the rules.
Attempt-on-attempt collusion (multiple wallets coordinating to crack a vault and split) is allowed; the pot pays out to the winning message's signer either way. Self-funded pump-and-claim attempts are detectable on chain and excluded from the leaderboard.
