How it works
Everything orbits. Fees fall inward.
Every token on Moonfall is a body in one shared sky. When you launch, you choose what it circles. From then on, every trade it gets pulls a little SOL inward, toward its parent and its grandparent. When enough has gathered, the pot buys that token and burns it.

1
Pick an orbit
A new token orbits the Sun or any body already in the sky. The choice is written into its metadata file as
orbits, so anyone can check it. It never changes. -
2
Gravity falls inward
Of the platform's share of every trading fee a body earns, a part falls inward: most to its parent, the rest to its grandparent. A body with no grandparent sends it all to its parent. The Sun's own gravity falls back into the Sun.

Wells fill
Whatever falls into a body piles up in its well. More moons, busier moons, deeper well. Planets keep feeding their parents after they graduate; their pool fees count too.

The tide turns
At every tide the pot buys every body whose well is deep enough, then burns what it bought. That is a moonfall. One fall never moves the price more than a set cap; whatever is left waits for the next tide.

Questions
Is there an anti-snipe tax?
No. There is no launch tax, no sniper fee, no special rules for the first minutes. Instead the creation and your own first buy are one transaction: the pool does not exist until your buy lands with it, so nobody can buy before you do.
What exactly gets burned?
At a tide, the pot spends the SOL in a body's well buying that body's own token, on its curve or on its DAMM v2 pool for planets. Every token it gets is burned. The supply goes down and the SOL that bought it stays in the pool. Each fall links to its transaction.
Why would one fall be smaller than the well?
A single fall never moves the price more than a fixed cap. If the well is deeper than that allows, the rest stays in the well and goes at the next tide. The minimum fall always goes.
What happens when the curve fills?
When the bonding curve has taken in enough SOL, the token becomes a planet: its liquidity moves to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool within about a minute and trading continues there. It stays in the same orbit and keeps feeding its parent and grandparent from its pool fees.
What does "cold" mean?
A body that no gravity has reached for a while is cold. It is drawn dimmer and drifts outward on the map. One moon with some trading warms it up again.
Where do the fees go?
Of each trading fee, Meteora's protocol takes its cut first. Of the rest, the creator gets a share they can claim on the token's page, and the platform keeps the remainder. Part of the platform's share is the gravity that falls inward. The table above has the live numbers.
Can I check the orbit myself?
Yes. The token's metadata file names its parent in the orbits field (empty for the Sun). Gravity only follows that field.
Does any of this promise a profit?
No. Burns reduce supply, they don't set a price. Memecoins are risky and most go to zero. Only use what you are happy to lose.
