A Reactor is a smart contract that sits between trading pools and does one thing: it takes the fees from every trade, burns tokens, buys more tokens, and makes the pool deeper. Forever. No one can stop it. No one can drain it. It just runs.
Most projects worry about bots, panic sellers, and front-runners. We don't. The Reactor collects 1% on every single swap that passes through the pool. It doesn't care who you are or why you're trading.
Most trading pools charge 0.05% or 0.3%. Those are cheap enough for bots to exploit with sandwich attacks — they front-run your trade, profit from the price movement, and you get a worse deal.
Our pools charge 1%. A sandwich attacker pays 1% on their buy and 1% on their sell — that's roughly 2% in fees just to attempt the attack. On smaller trades, the math doesn't work. They'd lose money trying.
And when they do try? Those fees go straight into the Reactor. The "attack" is closer to a donation. The pool gets deeper, the burns continue, and the attacker just funded the next few cycles for everyone.
Here's where it gets interesting. The Reactor doesn't manage just one pool — it manages many. EARTH has 9 pools across different trading pairs (ETH, USDC, Bitcoin, and more).
When someone makes a big trade on one pool, it moves the price. Now all the other pools are slightly "wrong" — they show a different price than the one that just updated. Bots notice this instantly and trade across all the mispriced pools to equalize them. Each of those correction trades pays 1% fees.
This multiplication effect gets even bigger across blockchains.
Tales of Tasern has 8 game tokens — each representing a nation in the game world. Instead of putting all 8 on one chain, the strategy is to deploy 1–2 tokens on each Layer 2 blockchain. Each chain becomes a battlefront where those nations compete.
When someone buys a token on Base, it creates a price difference between Base and every other chain where that token exists. Arb bots bridge across chains to correct the price, paying fees on both ends. One human trade becomes multiple trades across multiple chains.
This is fragmented liquidity used as a weapon. Most projects try to consolidate liquidity on one chain. We deliberately spread it so that every single trade — human or bot — echoes across the entire network.
Multiple reactors across the network fire in sequence — staggered 15 minutes apart across each 2-hour cycle. When one reactor fires, its buyback swap moves the price, which misprices other pools on other reactors. Arb corrects those pools, depositing fees that the next reactor will collect when it fires.
By the time the last reactor executes, it's collecting fees from its own last cycle plus the decaying ripples of every reactor that fired before it. Then the first reactor picks up the tail of the last, and the cycle restarts.
Each game token maps to 3 of 6 character stats (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma). Every stat is covered exactly 4 times across all 8 tokens. Players need multiple tokens for a balanced character — no single token does everything.
Each token has its own Reactor burning supply and deepening liquidity. When two nations share a chain, their factional competition drives trading volume — and every trade feeds both reactors.
On top of the 8 game tokens, the reactor network includes tokens that fund real-world causes. These aren't cosmetic — they give players actual in-game power:
Players don't buy these to be charitable. They buy them because carbon credits make their character hit harder. The real-world impact happens as a side effect of wanting to win.
Every Reactor position is locked forever. There is no withdraw function. It doesn't exist in the code. No admin key, no multisig, no governance vote can pull the liquidity out.
Every 2-hour cycle deposits more liquidity on top of what's already there. The floor only rises. Deeper liquidity means less slippage, which makes the pools more attractive, which brings more volume, which deepens liquidity further. Nothing ever comes out.
Every 1% fee cycle:
Net: -0.2% of volume permanently removed from supply. Started at 1.0 EARTH. Now ~0.46.
Same fee collection, same buyback, same LP deepening — but no rebase. Burned tokens are just gone. Supply only goes down. No new tokens are ever minted.
The system runs until the blockchain stops. That's it.
