What ARCHR is
ARCHR is the Archr platform token: a plain fixed-supply ERC-20 on 4663 with a single-sided V3 pool against WETH. Holding ARCHR is the sole eligibility condition for the fee-flywheel airdrops described below.The mechanic, end-to-end
For each launched coin, the program executes this loop:- Collect. Accrued swap fees (WETH + coin) on each locked LP are periodically swept to the distributor. Because the position is locked, the sweep cannot decrease liquidity; only the fee bucket moves.
- Swap the WETH leg. The distributor swaps the WETH it just received into more of the same coin, using the coin’s own V3 pool. That converts the entire fee bundle into a stack of the coin itself.
- Wait for the threshold. Once the distributor’s balance of a given coin reaches 1% of the coin’s fixed supply, or 10,000,000 tokens (against the 1,000,000,000 supply every Archr coin has), that coin is eligible for an airdrop.
- Snapshot the top-50 ARCHR holders. At the trigger, the on-chain ARCHR holder set is ranked by balance; the top 50 by balance are selected. The ARCHR/WETH pool is excluded (it holds unsold single-sided liquidity, not a real balance).
- Airdrop pro-rata. The 10,000,000 tokens are split among the top 50 in proportion to their ARCHR balance and sent in 50 transfers. The distributor’s balance of that coin drops to zero, and the cycle for that coin restarts.
Why it exists
Locked LP is the load-bearing rug-proof guarantee on Archr, but by construction it also traps value. A locked position is worth nothing to anyone unless the fees get moved somewhere. The flywheel is the pipe. Instead of the launcher owner sweeping every coin’s fees to their own address, the fees are systematically converted back into the coin and returned to the ARCHR holders who make the platform work.What counts as an ARCHR holder
Every regular EOA or contract that holds ARCHR at the snapshot block is eligible, ranked by balance. The ARCHR / WETH V3 pool address is the only exclusion; its balance is unsold single-sided liquidity, not a real holder, and a slice sent there would be trapped. Everyone else (retail wallets, contracts, market makers) is treated the same and ranked purely by balance.What holders receive
An airdrop is always in the coin that triggered it, not in ARCHR itself. If SNOO’s fees cross the threshold, the top-50 ARCHR holders receive a slice of SNOO. If a different coin crosses next, the top-50 (as of that snapshot block) receive a slice of that coin. You end up with a growing portfolio of Archr-launched coins over time, weighted toward the ones that trade the most (because they accrue fees the fastest).Pace and cadence
Airdrops are not scheduled to a calendar. A busy coin can fire multiple airdrops in a week; a quiet coin may never reach the threshold at all.What could change
The threshold, top-N size, and eligibility rules are program parameters, not on-chain governance. Current settings: top 50 holders, threshold 10,000,000 tokens (1% of the 1B supply per coin), snapshot at trigger block. Documented parameter changes will be reflected on this page. See risks → program risk for how to think about that as a holder.Where to see it happen
Each airdrop is 50 on-chain transfers from the distributor to a snapshot of 50 wallets, all in the same block. To watch them:- The distributor address is public; see Contracts → distributor.
- Any Blockscout query for the distributor’s outgoing transfers of a given coin shows the airdrop rows for that coin.
