How Kepler works
A launchpad on Stonks with a clock inside. Everything below can be recomputed by anyone.
The orbit
Once a day at 00:00 UTC, every coin launched before that moment is ranked by cap. The smallest gets a = 1, the largest a = 10, the others are spread evenly in between. A coin launched during the day takes the entry orbit (a = 1, a one-day year) until the next ranking.
The year follows Kepler's third law: T = a^1.5 days, capped at 30. The eccentricity is the 7-day volatility of hourly prices, clamped between 0.05 and 0.6. When a coin's rank changes, its phase is kept: the planet changes speed, it never jumps.
- year T
- perihelion distance
- aphelion distance
- 8 burns done after
The burns
In the studio, the dev chooses how much of the dev buy goes to the orbit (50 % by default) and cuts it into tranches (8 by default). Before launch, the dev signs one burn per tranche in their own wallet. Each burn rides on its own durable nonce, so it stays valid for as long as it takes.
A coin starts at aphelion. Half a year later it reaches perihelion and Kepler submits tranche 1, after simulating it. One year later, tranche 2. And so on. Kepler never holds a key: it only sends what the dev already signed.
Statuses
Every tranche is public on the coin page, with one of three stamps.
Signed and waiting for its perihelion.
Submitted at perihelion, with its signature.

The launch
Full launch on Stonks: Raydium LaunchLab with the StonkFun platform config, a Token-2022 mint, 1 billion supply and the default StonkFun raise target. Your wallet is the creator and makes the dev buy in the same transaction. Kepler has no treasury, no vault and no wallet of its own.
Costs
Kepler takes 0 %. Stonks takes 1 % to StonkFun and 0.25 % to Raydium on each trade, 0 % to the creator. Your wallet pays the network fees and the rent of the nonce accounts, which you get back in one click once they are no longer needed.
