How RELICS evolve

A market action becomes a historical wound.

RELICS is a protocol discovered through archaeology: swaps, liquidity, volatility, recovery, and holder migration become visible artifact condition.

Uniswap v4 hook path
market activity becomes artifact condition
01 / Swap activity

The pool moves. $RELICS is bought or sold against WETH.

02 / Uniswap v4 hook

`afterSwap` or `afterAddLiquidity` records bounded market memory.

03 / Market-state mutation

Volume, tick, stress, liquidity, volatility, and seed change.

04 / Historical pressure

Collapse, famine, migration, reconstruction, and scar state update.

05 / tokenURI evolution

The artifact renders fully on-chain JSON and SVG from the changed state.

Pressure map

The protocol speaks in market mechanics. The archive records civilization pressure.

Swap

Impact mark

buy/sell flow becomes pressure direction and market seed movement

Liquidity

Weather system

observed liquidity additions deepen the civic field; long gaps read as drought

Volatility

Schism

symmetry breaks, containment destabilizes, scar intensity rises

Drawdown

Collapse

fractures, void tears, missing geometry, burial damage

Recovery

Reconstruction

repair light appears but does not erase old wounds

Holder growth

Migration

civilization overlays, glyph population, archive density

Mutation chamber

Scrub the market. Watch the vessel remember.

This simulator is not canonical state. It is a viewing instrument for the archive grammar: drawdown becomes collapse, liquidity becomes civic depth, holders become migration.

Deployment record

Deployed on Ethereum mainnet.

The token, the artifact layer, the on-chain renderer and the Uniswap v4 hook are live at the addresses below, on one canonical 0.30% pool. Ownership of the token and the hook is renounced. Sepolia appears here only as the rehearsal that preceded launch.

Genesis structure
10,000 backing up to 10,000

10,000 fixed $RELICS back up to 10,000 Relics. Zero Relics exist at genesis; an account may hold at most floor(balance / 1e18) of them.

Explicit awakening
Not ERC404

ERC-20 and ERC-721 remain distinct standard contracts. A receive of $RELICS does no ERC-721 work at all; the only mint site is awaken(), whose recipient is always the caller.

Control posture
No tax/list

No taxes, whitelist, blacklist, or hidden reserve surface. Token and hook ownership are renounced, so no admin, upgrade, metadata or pool power remains. The NFT and renderer never had an owner.

Genesis position
1 · single-sided, uncapped

All 10,000 $RELICS enter the canonical pool at mainnet genesis in one position with ZERO seeded WETH. Its lower bound is the launch tick itself; there is no upper terminal.

Hook permissions
0x1440

Mined address enables exactly afterInitialize, afterAddLiquidity, and afterSwap.

Canonical fee
0.30%

The canonical RELICS/WETH pool uses the 0.30% fee tier with tick spacing 60, read from the registry.

Sepolia rehearsal
History

A full dress rehearsal ran end-to-end on Ethereum Sepolia before launch, at a prior fee tier. Those pool IDs and proofs are dated evidence of the mechanism, never a description of the current deployment.
