The rule is simple: until a coin graduates, no wallet can hold more than 2% of the supply. That is it. One number, enforced by the token contract itself, for the whole stretch when a coin is most fragile.
Every coin has 1 billion tokens. 2% of that is 20 million. From launch until the coin graduates, whenever tokens are about to land in a wallet, the token contract checks one thing: would this wallet end up holding more than 20 million? If yes, the transaction reverts. If no, it goes through. There is no bot filter, no allowlist, no admin watching — the check runs inside the token itself, on every transfer, from any router or contract.
The cap lifts at graduation, which fires automatically the moment 80% of the supply has been bought out of the pool. Nobody flips a switch: the contract watches its own pool balance, and once the coin has graduated any wallet can hold any amount. The lift is permanent.
The classic snipe is one bot buying a third of the supply in the first block, then selling it into the first wave of real buyers. Under the cap, that first buy stops at 2%. To build a bigger position the sniper needs many wallets, each funded separately, each buying separately, each pushing the price up against the next one and paying the pool fee every time. It is still possible to accumulate — it is just slow, expensive, and visible, which is the opposite of what a snipe needs to work.
The early life of a coin is when it is easiest to kill: few holders, shallow liquidity, one big dump ends it. The cap holds through that entire stretch, so with every capped buy the supply spreads across more wallets and the pool gains depth. By the time 80% of the supply has changed hands and the coin graduates, no single seller can decide its fate. At that point the cap has done its job and gets out of the way for good. Big buyers are welcome after graduation — by then they are buying from a proven market, not from a trap.
Until a coin graduates, no wallet can hold more than 2% of its supply. Any transfer that would push a recipient above the cap reverts. When the coin graduates, the cap lifts automatically and permanently.
Launch sniping: bots buying huge bags in the first blocks and dumping on the community. Capping every wallet at 2% forces early distribution across many hands instead of a few snipers, right through the fragile pre-graduation phase.
No. The pool, the launchpad, the locker and the token itself are exempt, since they must hold large balances for the market to function. The cap targets regular wallets only.
Each wallet is individually capped at 2%, so splitting across wallets is possible but costs gas, time and coordination for every extra 2%. The point is making a takeover expensive during the most fragile phase, not making large positions impossible forever.
