Every token is a cat.
It has nine lives.
Trading fees fill its bowl. When the chart falls, the bowl buys back and burns, and the cat lands on its feet. Out of lives, the bowl goes to the holders.
Bigger cap, bigger cat. Graduated cats sit on the windowsill. Hungry cats walk slow. Hover a cat to see who it is.
All cats
The 9 rules
The numbers below are the ones the keeper actually runs with, read live from it.
Nine lives
Every token on 9 Lives is a cat with 9 lives, born the moment it launches. Its look comes from its address: no two cats are the same.
A bowl of its own
The platform's share of every trade goes into that cat's bowl, not a shared treasury. 60% of it stays with the cat.
Lands on its feet
When the price falls 35% from its high, 50% of the bowl buys the token back and burns it. Each fall costs one life.
No farming the fall
At most one fall every 2h. The buyback comes at a random moment 1 min–8 min after the drop, and only if the price is still down.
Cats must eat
A cat that takes in less than 0.010 SOL of trading fees in a day (≈1.0 SOL of volume) goes hungry and loses a life.
Mama
The first cat, launched by the dev wallet, is Mama. 20% of every bowl's feed goes to her.
The rainbow bridge
Out of lives, the cat's whole bowl is sent to its holders, pro rata, straight to their wallets. The snapshot is taken at a random moment within 1h.
The windowsill
At 85 SOL the curve graduates to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool, LP locked forever. The cat keeps its lives and its bowl and keeps eating LP fees.
All on chain
Every claim, buyback, burn and payout is public in the bowl log, each with its transaction.
The 1% on every trade
Taken in SOL on every buy and sell, from the first second (no anti-sniper tax). Fixed in the config at genesis.

The 0.02 SOL launch fee
Paid once when a cat is launched. It is the first food in its bowl. After graduation, the platform's half of the locked LP keeps earning fees into the same bowl.
