Trading & rewards
Selling a token anywhere else starts with a ritual: approve, wait, pay gas, then finally trade, leaving a permanent allowance on your wallet as a souvenir. Diggers deleted the ritual and the souvenir. Sell means sell: one click, one transaction, ETH.
Every standard DEX sell requires an ERC-20 approval first: you grant a contract, usually unlimited, permission to move your tokens. That allowance does not expire when the trade completes. It sits on your wallet forever, and it is the raw material of the biggest silent risk in DeFi: approval phishing, malicious routers, and exploited contracts draining tokens people approved months ago and forgot.
| Diggers sell | Standard DEX sell | |
|---|---|---|
| Transactions needed | 1 | 2 (approve + swap) |
| Gas payments | 1 | 2 |
| Allowance left on your wallet | ✕ | usually unlimited |
| Phishing surface afterwards | ✕ | ✓ |
| Something to revoke later | ✕ | ✓ |
Every Diggers coin knows two contracts by heart: its launchpad and the vesting locker. When one of those executes a sell, a withdraw, or a distribution, the token skips the allowance check, under two hard conditions baked into the code: the tokens being moved must belong to the very wallet that signed the transaction, and the move is only possible inside those specific flows. Neither contract can ever touch the tokens of anyone who is not currently, personally, doing the action.
No approval transaction at the worst moment, when the chart is collapsing and every second is money. No gas paid twice. No allowance dashboard to audit every few months. No revoke-service subscriptions. An entire category of DeFi risk and DeFi chores, gone, because the token and the exchange were designed for each other instead of bolted together.
Every Diggers coin recognizes its launchpad and locker. When either executes a sell or a locked withdrawal, the token skips the allowance check under hard-coded conditions: the tokens must belong to the wallet that initiated the transaction, and the move must be part of that specific flow.
It is strictly narrower than an approval. A normal approval lets a contract move your tokens whenever it wants, forever. The Diggers exemption only lets the audited launchpad move your own tokens, only while you personally are selling, only into the pool.
No. The exemption requires that the wallet whose tokens move is the same wallet that signed the transaction, and it only activates inside the sell and distribution code paths. Idle balances are untouchable.
One transaction and one gas payment per sell, plus everything that comes after: no unlimited allowance parked on your wallet, no revoke chores, and no approval-phishing surface for that token.
