What a virus is, how every trade burns its host, what Pons controls and VIRUS cannot, and how to verify all of it on chain yourself.
- 01OverviewWhat a virus is, how one trade burns its host, and where Pons ends and VIRUS begins.
- 02HostsWhich tokens can be infected, the eight eligibility checks, host statuses, Pons pair approval and the depth limit.
- 03Infection routesHow a virus is reached from ETH one hop at a time, which venue serves each hop, and the approvals and slippage each hop needs.
- 04LaunchingThe inoculate transaction step by step, what it pins, the first buy and its 2.5% fee, the Pons launch gate and attribution.
- 05TradingHow virus buys and sells work on the Pons curve and in the graduated pool, how quotes and price impact are computed, and what is still unverified.
- 06Fees and burnsThe fee math, from the Pons base fee and the VIRUS creator tax to the 40/24/16 split, parity, rounding and a worked example.
- 07FeedingWhat feed() does step by step, the sweep outcomes, why post-graduation fees can wait for Pons, developer claims, stray tokens and severed feeders.
- 08GraduationThe Pons graduation lifecycle for a virus, its threshold in host units, progress, COMPLETE MIGRATION and the permanently locked V4 position.
- 09ParametersEvery VIRUS constant, every Pons parameter VIRUS reads live with its exact getter, and the chain and Uniswap addresses with their verification status.
- 10Contract referenceEvery VIRUS contract function, event, error and struct with exact signatures and access, plus the Pons functions VIRUS calls.
- 11Verify on chainHow to check every major VIRUS number yourself on Blockscout or with cast, from wiring and host eligibility to fees, burns and developer balances.
- 12Admin powersExactly what the VIRUS admin can and cannot do, the timelocks, and the Pons owner powers that reach VIRUS viruses.
- 13RisksSmart-contract risk, dependence on Pons, what is still unverified, market and host risks, fee delays, severed feeders, and what $VIRUS is not.
- 14FAQShort answers to the questions people ask most about hosts, fees, burns, feeding, graduation, admin powers and $VIRUS.
- 15Parasite → VIRUS differencesWhat VIRUS keeps from Parasite, what changes moving from Solana and Meteora to Robinhood Chain and Pons, and why the economics can differ.
