How a shell grows

A coin launched through Nautilus is a normal Stonks coin. What we add is a public record: a shell of eight chambers that seal as real holders stay, and eight burns the dev signs before the first trade.

Fig. 1Launch

The studio builds a free full launch on Stonks (StonkFun's LaunchLab, Token-2022, one billion supply). You are the creator: the coin is created and your dev buy happens in the same transaction, signed in your wallet.

No fee goes to Nautilus. No vault, treasury or site wallet exists.

Fig. 2Reserve and sign

You choose a share of your dev buy to reserve for the shell (50 % by default). It is split into eight slices proportional to φ⁰ … φ⁷, the last one the largest.

Each slice becomes a burn you sign before launch, with its own durable nonce, so it stays valid for as long as its chamber takes. Nautilus keeps the signed burns and submits each one when its chamber seals.

Fig. 3Count

Every hour, the coin's holders are read from the chain. A wallet qualifies once it holds at least 0.01 % of supply for three readings in a row. The dev wallet and program accounts (the curve's vault, pools, other contracts) never count.

If a reading is missed, no chamber seals on it and nobody's streak moves.

Fig. 4Seal

When the count of qualifying holders reaches 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377 or 610, the next chamber seals. A sealed chamber never reopens, even if holders leave later.

At that reading, the chamber's signed burn is submitted. Its status turns from ARMED to BURNED on the coin page.

Fig. 5Crack and cancel

A single sale above 0.5 % of supply cracks the wall of the latest sealed chamber. The crack is only a mark: it heals after 24 hours without another large sale, and nothing reopens.
