eCAT is the native token of the Ether.cat platform — a professional multi-wallet management tool for Ethereum traders. The token is designed with a simple purpose: to share the platform's growth with its community.

Every swap routed through the EtherCatRouter generates a 0.4% fee. Those fees are split — half converted to ETH for operational costs (nodes, infrastructure, development), half retained as eCAT tokens to be distributed as weekly claims to active Ether.cat subscribers.

The token itself has a minimal, clean contract — no mint function after deploy, a 1% buy/sell tax after the first 50 blocks, and a 2% wallet cap to prevent sniping concentration at launch.

The supply is fixed at 1 billion eCAT — minted entirely to the deployer at construction and never increased. There is no mint function. What you see at launch is all there will ever be.

The max-tx limit exists only for the first 25 blocks after launch to limit sniper bot exposure, then automatically becomes unlimited — no owner action required. Max wallet stays at 2% permanently.

The contract applies a 2.5% tax for the first 50 blocks after trading is opened. This protects against bots that attempt to snipe liquidity the moment a pair goes live. After block 50, the tax drops permanently to 1% buy / 1% sell — hardcoded in the contract, not adjustable by anyone.

Tax is collected by the contract and accumulates until the contract balance reaches the swap threshold (0.5% of supply). At that point — triggered on the next sell — the contract automatically performs a split swap: half the accumulated tokens are sold for ETH and sent to the owner wallet, the other half are transferred directly as eCAT tokens.

Ether.cat operates its own custom Uniswap V2-compatible router — the EtherCatRouter. It is a simplified, non-upgradeable swap router that wraps standard Uniswap V2 pair calls with a platform fee layer.

The router charges 0.4% on every swap. This fee is deducted from the input ETH before a buy, or from the output ETH after a sell. It flows directly to the feeCollector address — a wallet controlled by Ether.cat.

The router only supports single-hop ETH ↔ token swaps. It does not handle token-to-token paths — keeping the surface area minimal and auditable.

All platform fees — both from the eCAT token tax and the EtherCatRouter swap fee — flow into the same distribution mechanism:

The weekly eCAT claims feature is on the roadmap and will be released after the token is live and the subscriber base is established. Users with BASIC and ENHANCED plans will both be eligible — with weighting reflecting plan tier.

The eCAT contract is a custom ERC-20 with no external dependencies — no OpenZeppelin, no proxies, no upgradeable patterns. Everything is self-contained and verifiable. Here's what each piece does:

enableTrading()

Owner-only. Called once after Uniswap liquidity has been added. Sets tradingOpen = true and records launchBlock. All fee and limit timers start from this block. No trading is possible before it.

_activeFee()

Internal. Returns 2.5% (25/1000) for the first 50 blocks after launch, then 1% (10/1000) permanently. Both rates are constant — hardcoded at compile time. No one can change them.

_txLimitActive()

Internal. Returns true only for the first 25 blocks after launch. During that window the max-tx cap (2.5% of supply) is enforced. After block 25 it returns false automatically — no owner action needed.

_splitSwap()

Private. Called automatically when the contract accumulates ≥ 0.5% of supply (5M tokens) in fees. Splits the balance: 50% is sold for ETH via Uniswap and sent to the owner; 50% is transferred directly as eCAT to the owner. Triggered on the next sell once the threshold is reached.

renounceOwnership()

Sets the owner to the zero address permanently. After renouncement all owner-only functions become uncallable. Fee distribution via _splitSwap also stops — accumulated tokens stay in the contract indefinitely. This is irreversible.
