Why $FEED launches before the mint

$FEED goes live before a single pet is minted, and holding it is how you enter the whitelist. Here is why the token comes first.

The order of things

• $FEED launches first, on the hood.fun fair bonding curve: 1,000,000,000 supply fixed forever, no presale, no team allocation, liquidity locked at graduation. The contract address will be published here and on X; trust no other CA.
• You register for the whitelist on the mint page with your wallet.
• At whitelist mint time, registered wallets holding at least the announced $FEED threshold can claim. The threshold will be published before registration closes.
• Public phase follows for whatever the whitelist leaves behind, no holding requirement.

Why

The whitelist should belong to people invested in the game, not to whoever scripts the most wallets. Registration plus a holding check is a sybil filter that does not depend on our server's opinion of you: the chain is the list.

What $FEED is, and is not

$FEED is pet food. It feeds, boosts, rebonds, renames, and later reclaims runaways from the Shelter. Every in-game spend burns 70% and sends 30% to the treasury. It is not a promise of profit, there is no yield, and nobody should buy it expecting one. The collection is designed so the token has a job, not a chart.

The homework we owe you

Launching a token first raises the bar on our side: a legal review happens before anything goes live, and the full distribution plan (liquidity, treasury, team vesting, on-chain and public) will be published on this blog before the whitelist opens.
