BRYQ
Architecture

Four parts. One direction of travel.

BRYQ is not a treasury with a policy. It is a set of Solana programs whose only legal moves are the ones described here. This page is the mechanism; the Bryqpaper is the argument.

Immutable core24h timelockGuarded launchPermissionless distribution
$BRYQ
The SPL token

Burned by the Grid and by claims. Supply only goes down.

The Vault
The SOL backing every BRYQ

Leaves in exactly one way: a holder burns BRYQ for their share. No admin key.

The Grid
A pot of SOL with one legal move

Buys BRYQ during 30%+ crashes, burns 100% of it. Cannot be withdrawn.

The Router
The allocation engine

Splits all incoming revenue 50 / 40 / 10. Anyone can trigger distribution.

01 / ROUTER

The allocation engine

Revenue arrives from creator fees on the BRYQ venue, or from anyone topping the machine up with SOL directly. The Router does not decide anything — it applies a fixed ratio and nothing else.

Permissionless distribution. Once revenue accumulates, any wallet can call the distribute instruction and the split executes. The team cannot sit on undistributed funds, because sitting on them is not a privilege the program grants anyone.

02 / VAULT

Backing with exactly one exit

The Vault holds the SOL that backs every circulating BRYQ. It has a single outbound path, and that path belongs to holders.

Exit pathBurn BRYQ → receive V × B / S, minus a fixed 1% that stays inside.
Admin keyNone. There is no owner instruction that can move Vault SOL.
PauseNone. Claiming cannot be halted, throttled, or queued.
BorrowingThe Grid has no instruction that reads or debits the Vault.
Ratio directionRevenue in, supply down, fees retained — one direction only.

Admin exits
No instruction can move Vault SOL out.

An emergency switch must never become a way to freeze or seize holder backing, so there is not one. The trade-off is deliberate: the Vault gives up the ability to be rescued in exchange for the guarantee that it cannot be captured.

03 / GRID

Ammunition that cannot be farmed

A bid that is permanently parked is a target. The Grid is awake continuously but commits only on real damage — measured against a slow-moving, time-averaged reference that a single trade cannot move.

Velocity can scale a shot up to 2× on top of this curve, but never past the 2.50% per-shot cap and never below the gate. Under guarded launch the whole curve is halved.

Untrusted automation

Off-chain automation may propose a shot. The program re-derives the drawdown, the velocity multiplier, the cooldown and every cap on-chain before spending a lamport. A lying proposer gets a failed transaction.

Impact-capped execution

A shot is additionally bounded by roughly 4% of pool liquidity, so the Grid can never move price against itself or hand a sandwich to whoever is watching the mempool.

Everything is burned

There is no Grid instruction that transfers BRYQ anywhere except the burn. The tokens it buys stop existing in the same transaction that buys them.

04 / INVARIANTS

What a timelock cannot reach

Adjustable parameters — shot sizes, cooldowns, caps — are owned by a 24-hour timelock, so every change is public a full day before it can execute. These four are not parameters.

  • 01Vault SOL can never fund the Grid.
  • 02Grid SOL can never reach the team.
  • 03Everything the Grid buys must be burned.
  • 04The claim formula is fixed forever.
