MERIT is a utility and reflection token on Base (Ethereum L2).

  • Core mechanism: 2% transaction tax — 0.5% liquidity, 1% ETH dividends to holders (≥1,000 MERIT, auto-claim daily), 0.5% marketing.
  • Passive rewards: No staking; ETH dividends accrue and auto-distribute.
  • Max supply: 1,000,000,000 MERIT (mintable cap).
  • Initial supply: 100,000 MERIT.
  • Purpose: Reward long-term holding + fund real products (video games, decentralized AI compute, small AI datacenters, trading platforms, grants).
  • Deployment: Base chain, Uniswap V2 (MERIT/ETH LP). Contract: 0x77776236f6fb3007f85BE6FD1C803e8E34d93C47 (18 decimals).
  • Not investment advice. DYOR. No profit guarantees.

1. Introduction: What is MERIT?

MERIT has dual roles on Base:

  1. Reward Alignment — Automatic ETH dividends from taxes for holders ≥1,000 MERIT (passive, no staking, auto-claim daily).
  2. Product & Utility Alignment — Native currency for ecosystem products: payments, access, incentives, discounts. Taxes fund development of tangible projects.

Launched late January 2026. Combines reflection with product-funding treasury for sustainable growth.

2. Tokenomics & Supply

  • Decimals: 18
  • Initial supply: 100,000 MERIT
  • Max supply cap: 1,000,000,000 MERIT (controlled minting)
  • Burn: Holders can burn; LP tokens burned
  • Minting: Strategic for products/grants; capped

Small start for liquidity bootstrap; minting tied to milestones.

3. Tax & Distribution

2% tax on all buys/sells/transfers:

  • 0.5% → Liquidity (added to Uniswap V2 pool, LP burned)
  • 1% → ETH dividends (proportional to qualifying holders, auto-claim)
  • 0.5% → Marketing wallet

Swap threshold: 0.5% of pool value. Excludes contract/LP/marketing. Owner can adjust, pause, blacklist, recover tokens.

4. Contract Features

  • Mintable (capped)
  • Pausable
  • Blacklist
  • Token recovery
  • Burnable
  • Configurable taxes

Audits recommended (pending public release).

5. Ecosystem & Funded Products

Tax/treasury funds:

  1. Video games (MERIT for purchases/rewards/NFTs)
  2. Decentralized AI compute (pay/reward for workloads)
  3. Small AI datacenters (access/credits)
  4. Trading platforms/tools (reduced fees/premiums)
  5. Grants & smaller initiatives

New: Reward System Restaurants, cafes, service partners (electricians, painters, plumbers, etc.) enroll to give/claim MERIT points for visits/services. Users earn/redeem across any enrolled location — universal network, not siloed programs.

6. Value Drivers & Flywheel

  • Passive ETH dividends
  • Real utility from products
  • Controlled supply
  • Flywheel: Products → users/activity → taxes → dividends → holders → funding

On-chain transparency.

7. Risks & Disclaimers

  • Volatility/low liquidity
  • Execution/product risks
  • Contract bugs (audit pending)
  • Regulatory uncertainty
  • Centralized controls

Not financial/investment advice. High risk of loss. DYOR.

8. Conclusion

MERIT delivers passive ETH rewards + product-building treasury on Base. Aims for holder rewards, ecosystem funding, real utility.
