Solum — Phase 1 (Practical Overview)

Solum exists for one reason: to turn early participation into aligned liquidity, not hype.

This first phase is deliberately simple:

• a fixed-supply token with predefined taxes
• a public DEX pool
• a predictable flow of value inside the system (burn, reflections, liquidity, treasury)
• and a launch design where early participants can access the system with minimal friction.

This is not a promise of profit.
It’s a mechanism with clear rules.

---

1) What Solum is (in practice)

Solum is a token designed to live inside a DEX pool from day one.

You can:

• buy and sell it on the pool like any other token
• hold it and receive reflections
• benefit from permanent supply pressure through real burns
• and benefit from long-term pool stability via liquidity reinforcement

It’s a token engineered to stay on-chain and functional, not to “tell a story” off-chain.

---

2) How taxes work in the frozen contract

Solum Phase 1 uses different tax profiles depending on how the token moves.

The contract distinguishes between:

• buys (from the DEX pool)
• sells (to the DEX pool)
• transfers (wallet to wallet)

Each action reinforces the system in a different way.

---

Buy (from the pool)

Total tax: 1%

• Liquidity — 0.5%
• Treasury — 0.5%

Buys are intentionally lightweight.

Early access is meant to be cheap and accessible while the pool is forming.
Participation is prioritised over friction at entry.

---

Sell (to the pool)

Total tax: 10%

• Burn — 4%
• Reflections — 3%
• Liquidity — 2%
• Treasury — 1%

Sells represent value extraction from the pool.

For that reason, they carry the strongest reinforcement:

• supply is reduced
• long-term holders are rewarded
• liquidity depth is strengthened
• and the system sustains itself operationally

---

Transfer (wallet to wallet)

Total tax: 5%

• Burn — 2%
• Reflections — 3%

A transfer is not treated as a neutral action.

It represents a change of custody — a reassignment of participation.

---

3) Why transfers are taxed

Solum is not designed as a token that needs to move constantly.

Its name is not accidental.

Solum represents ground.
Ground is held, not circulated.

Untaxed transfers would allow:

• silent reshuffling of supply
• indirect accumulation
• and manipulation without ever touching the pool

Taxing transfers prevents this.

It ensures that when Solum changes hands:

• supply is mechanically reduced
• alignment is rewarded through reflections
• and movement remains intentional

Solum does not punish holding.
It makes movement meaningful.

---

4) The pool idea: why early access can be close to “cost zero”

In the earliest phase, the system is intentionally lightweight.

The practical effect is:

• early participants enter when the pool is small and thin
• buy-side friction is minimal
• and mistakes are survivable

This does not mean “free money”.

It means:

• access is cheap by design
• participation comes before speculation
• and position matters more than timing

Early access is not about winning fast.
It’s about having room to be early.

---

4.5) Participation over speculation (the Phase 1 mindset)

Phase 1 of Solum is designed around participation, not speculation.

Early holders are not treated as investors betting on price.
They are closer to settlers entering a system at its ground level.

The goal of this phase is not to extract value from the market,
but to form the market itself.

Because entry is accessible:

• early participants can afford to be imperfect
• pressure to be “right” immediately is reduced
• alignment matters more than activity

Speculation may arrive later.
It is not the foundation.

Holding Solum in Phase 1 is choosing presence over motion.

A Solum holder is not a passive investor.
A Solum holder is a participant.

A colonist, not a tourist.

---

5) Who Phase 1 is for

Phase 1 is for people who:

• prefer transparent rules to marketing
• understand early-stage AMM dynamics
• value alignment over short-term extraction
• want to participate before systems become expensive to enter
• accept uncertainty as part of being early

This is not for you if you:

• want guarantees
• need a roadmap full of dates
• expect frictionless trading
• or are looking for a typical memecoin narrative

---

6) The simplest decision framework

Before participating, ask yourself:

1) Do I understand early-stage liquidity and volatility?
2) Am I comfortable with asymmetric outcomes and long timelines?
3) Do I value participation over constant movement?
4) Does cheap early access align with my risk tolerance?

If your answers are mostly “yes”, Solum Phase 1 is coherent for you.

If not, waiting is also participation.

---

7) What happens after Phase 1

Phase 1 is the foundation layer.

Over time:

• Solum becomes one part of a larger system
• Semina builds on top of that ground
• and human intervention gradually fades

None of that matters if Phase 1 is not honest and stable.

So Phase 1 stays practical: pool, rules, mechanics, transparency.

Disclaimer

Solum is experimental. Crypto is high-risk.
Nothing here is financial advice or a guarantee of outcomes.

Participate only if you understand the mechanism — not because you expect a result.
