Questions before code becomes a market.
Direct answers about Flow Buy, receipts, authority, cap behavior, and the HETH design.
Is HETH officially connected to Hooked Bitcoin?
No. HETH is an independent protocol experiment and is not affiliated with Hooked Bitcoin.
Does every buy earn a Flow mining reward?
No. Ordinary swaps stay liquid and earn no protocol issuance. Only an explicit, successfully admitted Flow Buy enters a daily mining round.
What are the proposed terms?
A 120,000,000 HETH lifetime ceiling, 1,200,000 HETH for non-withdrawable Genesis POL, 118,800,000 HETH across 1,460 daily rounds, a seven-day hard lock, and a maximum uncongested reward of 300 HETH per ETH.
Can a router redirect my receipt?
No. The payer must authorize the beneficiary inside the complete nonce-protected, expiring intent.
Can I exit before maturity?
No. Flow Buy uses an exact seven-day hard lock with no early exit. Ordinary swaps remain available for users who do not want the lock.
Can someone else settle my mature receipt?
The design allows permissionless settlement, but escrow and reward can only go to the fixed beneficiary. The caller cannot redirect them.
Does splitting money across wallets increase the reward?
No. Same-round rewards are pro rata by proven ETH principal, and integer rounding makes splitting neutral or slightly worse.
What happens if a daily round is quiet?
Only earned reward becomes claimable. The unused daily budget is permanently retired with no carry or refill jackpot in a later round.
Will the later Hooked Miner receive an advantage?
No. It may automate the same expected-round intent and mature settlements available to everyone, with no role, priority, alternate rate, custody right, or beneficiary override.
Can the founder change parameters or withdraw protocol liquidity?
The HETH design prohibits owner or admin powers, mutable HETH-controlled terms, founder allocations, and any extraction path for genesis protocol-owned liquidity. Genesis POL is designed to hold a direct PoolManager position with no principal-removal or withdrawal path.
What happens to Genesis POL fees?
Genesis POL fees remain protocol-owned and cannot be paid to the creator or checkpoint caller. The whitepaper explains the complete mechanism.
Can an external contract change pool fees?
Yes. The external PoolManager is separately governed and outside HETH control.
Is there a live token or pool?
HETH is coming soon. There is no official contract address, token sale, public pool, or live trading. Official links will be published only on hookedethereum.org.
Where will official launch information appear?
Only on hookedethereum.org.
