SupercolonyHow it works
Argentine ants in Europe live as one supercolony along thousands of kilometres of coast. Their nests do not fight each other. Supercolony works the same way: every coin launched here is a nest, and every nest trades in a pair with one token, $ANT, instead of SOL.
Each nest is a Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve pool whose quote token is $ANT. So every buy of any nest is a buy of $ANT, and every $ANT holder is a ready buyer of every nest. There are no buybacks, no fee sharing to $ANT holders, no timers, locks or seasons. It works with one nest or with a thousand.
The route: SOL to $ANT to the coin
- Buy with SOL. One transaction: your SOL buys exactly the $ANT the nest takes (on the pump.fun curve of $ANT, or on PumpSwap after it graduates), and that $ANT buys the coin. Your own $ANT balance does not move.
- Sell for SOL. One transaction: the coin sells for an exact amount of $ANT, which sells for SOL. Up to about 0.7% of the coins you chose can stay in the wallet as slippage room. Selling 100% sells every coin; up to about 0.5% can stay as $ANT change, which the site offers to sell in one click.
- Trade with $ANT. Holders of $ANT buy and sell nests straight against $ANT, with no SOL leg.
Before your wallet signs, the transaction is simulated and refused if it would move your $ANT, spend more SOL than the maximum shown, or sell more coins than you chose. Slippage defaults to 1% (max 5%); it is split in half between the $ANT leg and the nest leg.
Two prices, always
A nest is priced in $ANT. Its SOL price is that price times the SOL price of $ANT. If $ANT falls, every nest falls in SOL by the same share, even when nobody sells the nest. The site shows both prices side by side everywhere; the SOL | $ANT switch only changes which one comes first. Nothing here promises growth.
Launching a nest
- Name up to 32 bytes, ticker of letters and digits up to 10, a picture on IPFS. Metadata is immutable.
- The coin is a Token-2022 token, 1,000,000,000 supply, 6 decimals, minted to its curve. No mint or freeze authority.
- Optional first buy in SOL, in the same transaction: SOL buys $ANT, $ANT buys your coin. Capped at 20% of the supply; the site shows your share live before you sign.
- Opening costs about 0.009 SOL of account rent, paid to the network.
- The coin's address picks its spot on the map (one of 400 points on the coast from Porto to Calabria) and it never moves.
Fees
| Who | Share of each nest trade | Paid in |
|---|---|---|
| The nest's founder | 0.4% | $ANT, claim on the Mine page |
| Supercolony (the pad) | 0.4% | $ANT |
| Meteora (protocol) | 0.2% | $ANT |
| Total | 1% | flat, no dynamic fee on the curve |
The SOL leg pays the normal pump.fun or PumpSwap fees of $ANT. The creator fees of $ANT itself are not touched, shared or used for buybacks.
Graduation
A nest graduates when its curve holds 9,234,589 $ANT (0.92% of the $ANT supply). Its liquidity moves into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool (1% base fee plus a volatility part). The pool's LP is locked for good: half to the founder, half to Supercolony, none withdrawable. After graduation the founder keeps earning from the pool fees. Anyone can trigger the move; our keeper does it within about ten minutes. The threshold is set in $ANT, so in SOL it floats with the price of $ANT.
States of $ANT
| State | SOL routes | Trading with $ANT |
|---|---|---|
| Set at launch: no $ANT yet | closed | closed |
| On its pump.fun curve | open, through the curve | open |
| Curve full, PumpSwap pool not open yet | paused | open |
| On PumpSwap | open, through PumpSwap | open |
Parameters
| Trading fee on a nest curve | 1% |
| Start market cap / graduation market cap | 3,000,000 / 45,000,000 $ANT |
| Graduation threshold | 9,234,589 $ANT |
| Nest supply | 1,000,000,000 |
| First buy cap | 20% of supply |
| Slippage default / max | 1% / 5% |
| LP after graduation | 50% founder, 50% pad, locked for good |
| Pool creation fee, migration fee | 0 |
The settings live in an immutable Meteora config. A new config can be added only for new nests and only if $ANT moved at least 3x against SOL since the last one; existing nests never change.
Trust points
- Supercolony runs no program and holds no user funds. Every transaction is built in your browser and signed by your wallet.
- The pad's admin key created the config and claims the pad's share of fees. It has no power over pools, curves or anyone's coins.
- Meteora (DBC, DAMM v2) and pump.fun (curve, PumpSwap) run the programs; their owners can upgrade them.
- The index that draws the map and the lists is display only. No money depends on it; prices you trade at come from the chain.
Risks
- Nests carry the price of $ANT: if $ANT falls, every nest falls in SOL.
- While $ANT is small, nests are small: the graduation threshold is a slice of $ANT.
- Coins can go to zero. Anyone can launch a nest; a name on the map is not an endorsement.
- While $ANT moves from its curve to PumpSwap, SOL routes pause. The length of that gap is set by pump.fun.
