Pen-and-ink drawing of a Roman temple standing on a staircase of gold-leaf honeycomb, honey dripping from the entablature, bees in the sky, a sun with fine ink rays behind the pediment.

Favus · Latin for honeycomb · an experiment on Ethereum

Buyers build the walls, sellers feed the veterans.

A honeycomb-shaped token with an ancient-Roman temper. Every buy adds ETH to a wall of bids under the price. Every sell feeds Veterans' honey to the holders who stayed. No wallet to connect. Nothing to claim. Nobody at the controls.

Experimental software. You can lose everything. The floor starts near zero and is not a guaranteed price.

How it works Read the disclosures

Buy tax: 3% → the wall
Sell tax: 3% → the honey
Owner: None, ever

How it works

Two taxes. Two destinations. Nothing in between.

Carved marble frieze: a procession of bees carrying honeycomb cells toward a central amphora, laurel garlands between them.

Every swap in the FAVUS pool pays 3%, taken by the Uniswap V4 hook itself — the token is a plain ERC-20 apart from the honey accounting. Buys pay in ETH. Sells pay in $FAVUS. Where each goes is the whole idea.

Bees laying gold honeycomb cells like bricks on a rising stepped wall above marble blocks, with a plumb line and a mason's level.

Buy tax · 3% in ETH

Buyers build the walls

The ETH from every buy is laid as a bid inside the pool, just under the price — like a course of bricks. Courses already laid stay where they are; each new buy lays a new course on top. Sellers who push into the wall are bought by it, and the $FAVUS it buys is burned. The highest level the wall has ever reached is the record floor, and the record only goes up.

The floor starts near zero and is not a guaranteed price, and not your entry price. The wall is real orders: a big enough dump can use it up and price can fall below it. When that happens the wall regroups — new buy tax lays a fresh course just under the new price, so a bid is always catching sellers.

A Roman amphora overflowing with gold-leaf honey into small cups, surrounded by bees wearing laurel wreaths; younger bees arrive from the right.

Sell tax · 3% in $FAVUS

Sellers feed the veterans

The $FAVUS from every sell is Veterans' honey. It flows into holders' balances automatically, weighted by how much you hold and how long you have held it. No claim, no stake, no signature — your balance simply grows.

Honey is redistributed tax, not income or yield. It depends entirely on other people selling.

Three honeycomb cells in a row: empty, half full, and sealed full of gold-leaf honey, beneath a Roman sundial on a column.

Ripening · time held

Honey ripens

A fresh position is almost unripe. It is half-ripe after one week and effectively full after a month. Sell or send tokens out and you are a recruit again: your ripeness resets to zero. Buying more blends your age rather than resetting it.

Ripening is also the anti-sniping defence — a wallet that buys just before a drop captures almost nothing.

Lex mellis

Lex mellis — the ripeness schedule: the share of full weight a position has reached, by time since its last reset.
Time held	Ripeness	In plain words
1 day	≈ 10%	A recruit. Almost nothing yet.
1 week	50%	Half-ripe. The curve's half-life.
2 weeks	75%	Most of the way there.
1 month	≈ 95%	Effectively full. A veteran.
Any sell or outgoing transfer	0%	Reset. You start again as a recruit.
Ripeness = 1 − e^−λt with λ = ln 2 / 7 days. Constants are fixed at deployment and cannot be changed by anyone.

The treasury

Read straight from the chain. No account, no login, no wallet. Until the first buy the comb below is bare stone; after that it is gilded course by course, as the real wall is laid.

These plaques will read from a public Ethereum RPC once the pool exists. Until then they stay honestly empty. There is no contract address yet — anything claiming to be one is not us.

How ripe is an address?

Paste any Ethereum address to read its ripeness and the honey credited to it. This only reads the chain. It never asks for a connection or a signature, and nothing you type is sent anywhere but a public RPC.

Disclosures

Read this before anything else. It is the point of the project.

What this is

Experimental software. You can lose everything you put in. This is not financial advice and not an investment.
No owner, no admin. Nothing can be paused, fixed, refunded or changed after deployment. Immutable means immutable — including bugs.
No team allocation, no treasury, no roadmap. No promises of price or yield. The Roman theme is decoration.
Will be audited by AI agents, not by a professional audit firm, unless one is commissioned and its report published.

What the mechanics are not

The floor starts near zero and is not a guaranteed price. It is not your entry price. It is a wall of buy orders built from buy tax; it can be used up, and it can be outrun by selling.
Honey is not income or yield. It is redistributed sell tax and depends entirely on other people selling.
Balances change on their own. Some wallets, indexers and exchanges may display them wrongly.
3% both ways, taken by the Uniswap V4 hook. Pools with hooks may not be routed by every aggregator.
Ethereum risks apply: gas, MEV, smart-contract and Uniswap V4 risk. No affiliation with Uniswap or anyone else.

Questions

Asked plainly, answered plainly.

Do I ever need to connect a wallet?

No. Never, anywhere. The site is read-only. The only outbound action is a link to Uniswap, where you trade in your own wallet as you would for any token. Anything that asks you to connect or sign in FAVUS's name is not us.

Is the floor guaranteed?

No. The floor starts near zero and is not a guaranteed price, and not your entry price. The wall is real buy orders laid in courses from buy tax; enough selling can use it up, and the wall can sit far below where you bought.

If the whole wall is eaten and price falls below it, the wall regroups: new buy tax lays a fresh course just under the new price. The record floor — the highest level the wall ever reached — only goes up, but the live wall can be lower than the record. Tokens the wall buys are burned.

Why did my balance change without a transaction?

That is Veterans' honey. Sell tax is credited to holders' balances automatically, weighted by bag size and ripeness. Some wallets and explorers only refresh on transfers, so the number they show can lag.

Can the tax, the ripening curve or anything else be changed?

No. There is no owner, no admin key and no upgrade path. 3% both ways and the ripening constants are fixed at deployment. This also means nobody can fix a bug, pause or refund.

How does it launch?

A single-sided Uniswap V4 pool, token-only liquidity in four bands, all LP positions burned, deployer ending with zero tokens, in one atomic transaction. Supply is 1,000,000,000 $FAVUS, fixed. There is no team allocation and no presale.

Where is the contract address?

There is none yet. It will appear on this page, and only on this page, at launch. Until then, any address claiming to be $FAVUS is a scam.

Who is behind this?

A fun experiment with full disclosures, built in the open and handed to its holders at block one. No one has control after deployment, so "who" matters less than "what", and the what is all on-chain.

Nemo imperat

Nobody at the controls.

Pen-and-ink landscape at dusk: low hills with cypresses and umbrella pines, a small temple on a gold honeycomb mound in front of a setting sun, and bees flying home to it.
