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.

  1. 01OverviewWhat a virus is, how one trade burns its host, and where Pons ends and VIRUS begins.
  2. 02HostsWhich tokens can be infected, the eight eligibility checks, host statuses, Pons pair approval and the depth limit.
  3. 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.
  4. 04LaunchingThe inoculate transaction step by step, what it pins, the first buy and its 2.5% fee, the Pons launch gate and attribution.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 07FeedingWhat feed() does step by step, the sweep outcomes, why post-graduation fees can wait for Pons, developer claims, stray tokens and severed feeders.
  8. 08GraduationThe Pons graduation lifecycle for a virus, its threshold in host units, progress, COMPLETE MIGRATION and the permanently locked V4 position.
  9. 09ParametersEvery VIRUS constant, every Pons parameter VIRUS reads live with its exact getter, and the chain and Uniswap addresses with their verification status.
  10. 10Contract referenceEvery VIRUS contract function, event, error and struct with exact signatures and access, plus the Pons functions VIRUS calls.
  11. 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.
  12. 12Admin powersExactly what the VIRUS admin can and cannot do, the timelocks, and the Pons owner powers that reach VIRUS viruses.
  13. 13RisksSmart-contract risk, dependence on Pons, what is still unverified, market and host risks, fee delays, severed feeders, and what $VIRUS is not.
  14. 14FAQShort answers to the questions people ask most about hosts, fees, burns, feeding, graduation, admin powers and $VIRUS.
  15. 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.
