🔖 Sniper Surcharge
BuildKey V2 implements a time-variable transaction tax as an upgrade and alternative to the original Fair Launch mechanism. The goal is to provide every user with smooth, fair, and transparent participation.
How it Works
For the first five minutes (may vary by project) after pool activation, all buy transactions are subject to an additional fee. This tax follows a deterministic linear decay model, starting at a predefined maximum and decreasing to zero by the end of the five-minute window.
The time and ratio of sniper surcharge may vary by project. For example,
| Time | Tax |
|---|---|
| 0 min | 500.00% |
| 1 min | 400.50% |
| 2 min | 301.00% |
| 3 min | 201.50% |
| 4 min | 102.00% |
| 5 min | 2.50% |
The additional fee collected will be either directly deposited into the pool or used to purchase project tokens post-TGE, and shared among all long users during the settlement stage.
This model does not prohibit early trading but introduces a calculable cost-benefit analysis, requiring participants to weigh the advantage of early entry against the economic disincentive of the tax.
From another perspective, this approach allows users to negotiate the initial prices of different assets in a fair and democratic manner, thereby achieving self-adaptive pricing for different assets.
