Five phases.
Five catalysts.

We launch in chapters, not in one big blast. Each phase is a verifiable on-chain unlock — and a reason for the chart to move. No vapor.

★ In plain English

Day 0 — Genesis. The token goes live. LP is added and locked for 12 months. The dashboard goes live. Anyone can buy and the buyback/LP-add mechanics start funding themselves from trading fees.

Week 2-3 — Floor Defender activates. The price reserve has accumulated enough SOL from fees. The on-chain buy program goes live. Dumps get bought.

Week 4-6 — Staking opens. Lock your bag for 7-180 days. Earn real yield from the 15% of fees that's been pooling since genesis.

Week 8-10 — Diamond-Hand SBT mint. If you've held since day one, you're already eligible. Mint your soulbound NFT. Boost your staking yield. Earn the right to vote.

Month 3+ — Governance. SBT holders vote on parameters. We revoke the program upgrade authority. The protocol becomes ours.

★ Phase calendar
00
Genesis
"The floor is laid. Now we get cocky."
Day 0
  • Token-2022 mint with TransferFee + Metadata extensions
  • Full 1B supply minted to multisig treasury
  • Mint + freeze authorities revoked (irreversible)
  • fee_router deployed and initialized (buyback + LP legs only)
  • LP added on Raydium / Meteora
  • LP locked via Streamflow (12-month minimum)
  • Dashboard v1 live at cockytoken.com
  • Keeper bot running: cranks harvest every 15 min or at $500 threshold
  • Indexer running: tracking holder durations from block 1
01
Floor Defender
"Try to dump it. We dare you."
Week 2–3
  • floor_defender program deployed
  • Reserve seeded from accumulated 20% of waterfall fees
  • defend() instruction goes live (permissionless)
  • Public floor curve published (base + ratchet)
  • Auto-tweet bot: every defense becomes an X post within 60s
02
Stake-to-Earn
"Lock it. Earn it. Without diluting it."
Week 4–6
  • staking program deployed
  • Initial reward pool seeded from accumulated 15% of waterfall
  • Stake page live with 7/30/90/180 day tiers
  • Live APR computed from real fee flow (not promise)
  • Real-time APR widget on landing page
03
Diamond-Hand SBT mint
"Paperhands left. Diamond hands stay."
Week 8–10
  • sbt_minter deployed
  • First Merkle root published (eligibility retroactive from genesis)
  • SBT page live for eligible wallets to claim
  • Staking program reads SBT, applies 1.5× multiplier
  • Public 'Wall of Diamond Hands' page
04
Governance
"The floor was ours. Now the steering wheel is too."
Month 3+
  • SBT-weighted voting on parameters (fee bps, lock multipliers, floor ratchet, ops bps)
  • Program upgrade authority revoked
  • Future ecosystem token launches gated by COCKY SBT holdings
Pre-launch checklist (gate to Phase 0)

Decisions to lock in

  • Total supply (default: 1,000,000,000)
  • Decimals (default: 6)
  • Transfer fee rate (default: 5%, capped at 5% in code)
  • Fee waterfall split (default: 40/20/20/15/5)
  • Initial LP size (≥ 50 SOL recommended)
  • LP lock duration (≥ 12 months — ideally permanent)
  • Floor base threshold (e.g., 60% of opening price)
  • Floor ratchet coefficient
  • Multisig members (3-of-5 Squads, public identities)
  • SBT eligibility threshold (default: 0.1% of supply for 30+ days)

Wallets to create

  • Deployer: single-use wallet for mint creation. Drained after revocation.
  • Multisig (Squads): 3-of-5 with public members. Holds fee config authority.
  • Treasury: multisig-owned. Holds team/marketing allocation if any.
  • Ops: multisig-owned. Receives 5% ops cut from waterfall.

Infrastructure

  • · Helius RPC (mainnet + webhook tier)
  • · Postgres for indexer (Supabase or self-hosted)
  • · Hetzner VPS for keeper bot + indexer
  • · Vercel deployment fallback for the app
  • · Domain DNS at GoDaddy pointing at the box
  • · X + Telegram accounts branded and verified
  • · Arweave/IPFS for token metadata JSON + logo

Audit / safety

  • · Programs reviewed by 2+ independent Solana devs
  • · Formal audit (Ottersec / Halborn / Sec3) for fee_router + staking
  • · Mainnet program addresses recorded and announced before deploy
  • · Multisig signing rehearsed on devnet
Operating cadence post-genesis
Every 15 min
Keeper crank harvest_and_route
Every hour
Dashboard data refresh
Every 24h
Indexer publishes daily Merkle root for SBT eligibility
Daily
"Yesterday in COCKY" auto-thread on X (volume, buybacks, burned, new holders)
Weekly
Founder thread: state of treasury, what shipped, what's next
Monthly
On-chain transparency report — every PDA balance + flow
Marketing principles
  1. 01
    The mechanism IS the marketing. Every feature is tweetable as a screenshot of an on-chain event.
  2. 02
    Prove, don't promise. Dashboard numbers > founder claims. Always.
  3. 03
    Punish FUD with data. When someone calls it a rug, post the LP-lock + revoked-authorities link.
  4. 04
    Reward the loud. SBT holders get visible status — make holding identity-forming, not just financial.
  5. 05
    Be cocky, not arrogant. Confidence backed by code is the brand. Empty bravado is rug culture.
Kill switches (multisig only)

We have these powers. They exist for safety, not for control.

  • Lower (never raise) transfer fee. Cap of 5% is hard-coded.
  • Pause harvest_and_route. Emergency stop if Jupiter route is exploited.
  • Adjust waterfall splits within hard caps (ops bps ≤ 10%).
  • Adjust floor parameters (base threshold, ratchet coefficient, max_per_trigger).
We do NOT have:
  • · Mint authority (revoked)
  • · Freeze authority (revoked)
  • · Ability to drain LP (locked)
  • · Ability to revoke staked positions
  • · Ability to confiscate user balances
Risks & honest disclosures
  • Volatility. COCKY can lose value. The floor defender helps but is finite. If the reserve empties faster than fees refill it, the floor becomes psychological.
  • Mechanism complexity. Four interlocking mechanics = larger audit surface. We ship in phases to reduce launch-day attack surface.
  • Solana network risk. Congestion can delay buyback cranks. We tolerate and replay; this is not unique to us.
  • Regulatory. As with any token, regulatory landscape can shift. We operate transparently and avoid yield promises.
