Protocol Overview

FEY Protocol is built as a layered system on top of Uniswap V4, creating the first fully permissionless, user-owned launchpad. This page explains the high-level architecture and how all components work together.

Layer Responsibilities

User Layer
  • Token creators deploy new projects
  • Traders swap tokens and provide liquidity
  • Stakers earn protocol fees
Extension Layer
  • Modular functionality for deployments
  • Dev buys, airdrops, presales, vesting
  • Permissioned through allowlist contract
Factory Layer
  • Central orchestrator for deployments
  • Coordinates token creation and pool setup
  • Manages system configuration
Hook Layer
  • Integrates with Uniswap V4 pools
  • Handles fee collection and distribution
  • Provides MEV protection and extensions
Uniswap V4 Core
  • Decentralized exchange infrastructure
  • Pool management and swap execution
  • Liquidity position handling

Core Value Flows

1. Fee Distribution Flow

2. Token Deployment Flow

3. Creator Reward Flow

Network Economics

Fixed Supply Model

FEY operates with a fixed token supply that creates deflationary pressure:

  • Total Supply: 100,000,000,000 $FEY (100B tokens, fixed)
  • No Inflation: No new tokens ever created
  • Buyback Pressure: WETH fees converted to $FEY and distributed
  • Burn Potential: Future governance could implement fee burns

Value Accrual Mechanisms

Direct Fee Distribution
  • 20% of all LP fees flow to protocol
  • 100% redistribution to $FEY stakers
  • Immediate value accrual from network activity
Automatic Buybacks
  • WETH fees trigger $FEY market purchases
  • Reduces circulating supply
  • Creates consistent buy pressure
Creator Alignment
  • All creator rewards paid in $FEY
  • Successful creators become $FEY holders
  • Long-term network alignment

Network Effects

As FEY grows, it creates self-reinforcing loops:

  1. More Tokens → More trading volume
  2. More Volume → Higher protocol fees → Better staking returns
  3. Better Returns → More $FEY demand → Higher price
  4. Higher Price → Better creator rewards → Attracts more creators
  5. Loop continues → Strengthening network effects

Key Design Principles

Permissionless Operations
  • No governance required for core functions
  • Automatic fee distribution via smart contracts
  • Public functions for system maintenance
Modular Architecture
  • Extensible through approved extensions
  • Swappable components (lockers, MEV modules)
  • Clean separation of concerns
Uniswap V4 Native
  • Built specifically for V4's hook system
  • Leverages dynamic fees and advanced pool features
  • Designed for V4's gas efficiency improvements
Security First
  • Multiple layers of access controls
  • Freeze mechanisms for critical parameters
  • Capped fees and MEV protection limits
