IMO questions and answers

Nobody has taken memestocks this far. A memecoin on its own is a bet on attention; a memestock is quoted against a basket that holds the company's real tokenized stock, ₸USD and strategic holdings, and every trade feeds that basket, burns part of it and pays the people who keep the memestock alive. It is built to be fun, but above all to grow for years and to give value to the holder, not to a founder.

An Initial Memestock Offering: the first sale of a memestock, before its market opens. Like an IPO round, everybody buys at the same price, set by demand when it closes, and the tokens then unlock gradually. There is no race: buying in the first minute or in the last gives exactly the same price.

Every mechanism is built so that being fast or being a bot gains nothing:

Three things, and every rule points at them:

They are not just money, they are the shape of the launch. Who backs a prospectus decides which one wins at all, and their choices carry into the market: every backer picks how long their tokens take to unlock, and a longer lock earns a bigger ticket, so a round carried by patient backers launches with much more of the supply locked and far less of it able to hit the market early. A wallet's record is public: you can see what it has backed before, how long it held and whether it was still there a year later. Backing well is a reputation, and brokers court it.

People who have shown long-term conviction: to become a broker you lock at least $500 of ₸USD in Turbo staking and found a brokerage. A brokerage can be one wallet or a team with a leader. The broker designs a launch, buys into it first at the same price as everyone and keeps those tokens locked longer than anyone else. In return the brokerage earns a small share of every trade, fixed forever at launch.

A broker's complete offer for how the memestock launches: its name, its supply, how much of the supply is on sale, its minimum and maximum market cap, the opening premium, the trading fee and where it goes, the strategic holdings in its basket, and the broker's own purchase and lock-up. Once filed it cannot be edited: what you back is exactly what launches.

Any broker, one per wallet, while the IMO is open and until its final hours. Filing takes the broker's own purchase on the spot, refunded in full if another prospectus wins. That purchase can be 5% of the supply with the minimum 12-month unlock, and up to 10% with a 24-month one, at the same price as everyone else. The broker can also commit an amount for the burn vault, bought in the market's opening purchase. A prospectus also names its strategic holdings and the share of the basket each one gets (at least 0.1%, in steps of 0.1%).

By the people who put money in. Backing a prospectus is your vote and your purchase at the same time. When the IMO closes, the prospectus with more than half of all deposits wins; if none has, the top two go to a short runoff. People back what they trust most: the tokenomics and mechanics the broker chose, the broker and its reputation, the strategic holdings, the lock-ups and burns that make it safer. Brokers compete on the best offer, not on speed.

Because launching through an IMO is the best seat at the table:

Because from the first block its supply is in the hands of convicted holders. IMO tokens unlock gradually, the broker's last of all, so nobody can dump the launch; there is no race to win, so jeets and bots gain nothing; and everyone is aligned, because the backers chose this broker's prospectus over the others with their own money. It does not guarantee the price, but it gives the market a much healthier start than a race of bots.

Connect your wallet, choose over how many months your tokens unlock, and back the prospectus you prefer with ETH, USDC or the IMO's quote token. Once deposited, it stays in that prospectus, so choose carefully: if another one wins, you get it all back. There is no rush: everyone pays the same final price.

Yes. Every IMO is priced in its own quote token, shown on its page. ETH and USDC are swapped into it on Uniswap in the same transaction and deposited in your name. If you already hold the quote token, you put it in directly. Anything refunded comes back in the quote token.

Your ticket is a share of the supply, set by how long your tokens take to unlock: 0.05% over 1 month, 0.1% over 3, 0.2% over 6 and 0.35% over 12. ₸USD stakers get up to 0.15% more: the more ₸USD staked and the longer it stays locked, the bigger the extra. Nobody can go beyond 0.5%.

Because the IMO is meant to put the supply in the hands of people who stay. Snipers and jeets who only want a quick flip gain little from a fixed price and a slow unlock, while long-term holders get the biggest allocations. That keeps the first weeks of trading calmer for everyone.

After the launch there is a one-week cliff. Then your tokens unlock a little every second over the months you chose, and you claim them whenever you like.

Every backer is scaled down by the same proportion, whenever they came in; the broker's own purchase is not. The part of your deposit that could not be used goes back to your wallet or, if you ticked that option when depositing, into the market's opening purchase. Nobody is left out for being late.

The market's very first purchase, made right after the launch and before public trading opens, so no bot can get in front of it. It gathers the broker's buy for the burn vault and two optional orders from backers: their leftover over the hard cap, and an extra amount of up to their own ticket again, chosen when they deposit. Everyone in it pays the price it ends at, the same as the first public buyer, so nobody gets an instant gain over them; the tokens the curve gives beyond that price are burned. These tokens are not locked. The purchase has a size limit, so there is always room for public buyers.

Yes. They pay the same price, and the opening purchase cannot take more than a limited share of the market's tokens. It is a small right earned by backing the IMO and accepting its lock-up: at most your ticket again. Anyone can become a backer.

If another prospectus wins, you take back everything you put in, in the quote token. If the IMO raises less than its minimum, everyone is refunded. If the winner is not launched within 3 days, the IMO is cancelled and everyone gets their money back. Refunds only ever go to the wallet that deposited.

Once the IMO closes, the winning prospectus is launched exactly as it was filed: everyone's purchase is made at the IMO price in that same step, and the market opens at the premium the prospectus fixed.

Real liquidity, held by the memestock's own contract, which nobody can withdraw. Every buy fills its basket: ₸USD, the tokenized stock and strategic holdings. BRK.M, for example: 50% ₸USD, 25% the stock and 25% shared by its strategic holdings at the shares its prospectus set.

The holders of that memestock, by vote: which strategic holdings, and each one's share. To propose a change you lock at least 0.5% of the supply; to vote you lock any amount, and you get it all back when the vote ends. A change needs more yes than no and a turnout of 10%; the vote lasts 7 days and the result applies 2 days later. Votes open once the IMO backers' first tokens have unlocked, so they can take part. ₸USD and the stock can never be changed, and brokers have no special vote.

A fee is charged on every buy and every sell, from 0.5% to 5%, set by the prospectus. In our example it is 1%, a quarter each: burned, to the brokerage, to the holders and to the management vault. The burn always follows the basket: ₸USD, the tokenized stock and each strategic holding by its weight. Everything else is paid in the stock and the strategic holdings, never in ₸USD. How the fee is split is fixed forever at launch.

Because every trade then makes every token in the basket scarcer: ₸USD, the company's tokenized stock and each strategic holding. The projects behind those tokens benefit directly from our volume, so it is in their interest that we do well. And every burn is a public event on chain that can be posted automatically, ticker included: a steady stream of attention that costs nothing.

Because half of every buy of a memestock turns into ₸USD and a quarter into its strategic holdings: constant buying of their token from every trade we make, plus a share of every burn. Being added to a basket is worth competing for, and the holders decide who gets in. The same goes for ₸USD, which is in every basket.

Not on the memestock. Rewards are paid in the stock and the strategic holdings, never in the memestock itself and never in ₸USD, so the only thing a holder can sell is small amounts of other tokens, spread over time. That is barely visible in those markets and invisible in the memestock's own. Holding is rewarded without anyone having to sell what they hold.

A memestock can have a board: a CEO, a Chief Meme Officer and any other title the holders decide to create. The holders elect them by vote. Their share of the fee goes into a vault that only those elected wallets can withdraw from, paid in the stock and the strategic holdings, never in ₸USD. The idea is simple: people paid to keep the memestock alive with content and activity, chosen by the people who hold it.

Yes. It is a public contract: any project listed on memestock.market can deploy its own vault, set its titles and wallets and point its reward contracts at it. Our memestocks are just one user of it. A tool every project can run from our hub brings every project to our hub.
