$BALLAST is live. Chapter II. CA: 0xDc605041F02e41CbD8FDC347023e93C4c3fA243C The protocol's own token is the first launch on our new factory, and it opened under the same rules every Ballast launch follows: • Paired with $NVDA and $WETH. Two pools, one token. • Opened at a 1 $ETH market cap in both pools. The $NVDA pool was priced from Chainlink at open, so both started at the same valuation. • 100% of supply went into the pools. Liquidity is locked by a contract with no removal function. • 0% to the creator. Not withheld, not vested. None. Buy with $ETH, whatever the pair On ballasted.fun, $ETH routes into the $NVDA pool through Ramses in one transaction, or straight into the $WETH pool. Anywhere that trades $WETH pairs can reach it too. Fees Every trade pays a 1% fee. For $BALLAST, the fees go to the protocol Safe (2-of-3 multisig). 20% is committed to buyback-and-burn of $BALLAST. Until the on-chain splitter ships, those buybacks are executed from the Safe in public, every one on chain. For v1 holders The snapshot taken earlier today stands. Details on how the claim works come next. The v1 pool stays tradable, but v1 is no longer the protocol token. New factory: 0xa32b9870A1B77544Eb4e044Cae9f3e62A1F71f67 This is the only official $BALLAST address. Any other is fake. ballasted.fun/app/discover

How a Ballast launch works: the treasury. Deposit to be trusted. Withdraw only on notice. A creator can deposit tokenized stocks into their launch's treasury. It's optional, and anyone can read it on chain, live. The rules: • Only what you put in can come back out. Nothing more. • Every withdrawal is announced on chain before a single asset moves. • Then it waits out a notice period: 7, 30 or 90 days, picked at launch and permanent. A longer delay is a costlier promise, and everyone can see which one you picked. One thing the deposit doesn't do: change the price. Every launch still opens at 1 ETH, with or without a treasury.

How a Ballast launch works: fees and routing. 80/20. Most of every fee goes to the creator. • 1% fee on every trade, taken in the pool's quote asset • 80% to the creator • 20% to the protocol • No referrer cut. Nobody sits between the creator and their fees. Buy with ETH on stock pairs Stock depth lives on @RamsesExchange. The token's pool lives on @Uniswap v4. The Ballast router takes your $ETH through both in one transaction, then checks it holds nothing left over. No owner. No admin. No upgrades. Routes are live for $NVDA and $SPY, with more coming. Launches paired with $WETH take $ETH directly. BALLAST

How a Ballast launch works: pool pairs. You pick the pair. The pools open themselves. 01 Choose up to 2 pairs $WETH, or a tokenized stock. $NVDA, $SPY, $TSLA, $AAPL and more. 02 Supply splits equally Each pair gets its own @Uniswap v4 pool, seeded with an equal share of the supply. Two pairs, 50% each. 03 Every pool opens at 1 ETH Same market cap in every pool, whatever the pair. Stock pools are priced from @chainlink at open, so $NVDA and $WETH start level. 04 Locked. 0% to the creator. 100% of supply goes into the pools. Liquidity sits behind a contract with no removal function. The creator holds none. No bonding curve. No dev buy. No allocation to unlock later. BALLAST

New Ballast factory is live on Robinhood Chain. Factory: 0xa32b9870A1B77544Eb4e044Cae9f3e62A1F71f67 Every launch now opens at the same price, can pair with a stock, and can be bought with ETH. Here's how it works. One opening price for everything Every launch opens at a 1 ETH market cap. With or without a treasury, paired with WETH or a stock, one pool or two. Price per token at open = 1 ETH ÷ total supply, the same in every pool. Pair with a stock, not only ETH A launch can open up to 2 pools: WETH plus a tokenized stock. NVDA and SPY are the first stock pairs. Stock pools are priced from Chainlink at open, so the stock pool and the WETH pool start at the same 1 ETH valuation. Buy with ETH, whatever the pair The new router takes your ETH, swaps it into the stock on Ramses, then into the token's pool on Uniswap v4, in one transaction. It has no owner, no admin and no upgrades, and it ends every swap holding zero of every token it touched. Nothing held back 100% of supply goes into the pool at launch. Liquidity is locked by a contract with no removal function. The creator gets 0% of supply. The new factory didn't loosen any of these rules. Fees, new split 1% swap fee on every trade: • 80% to the creator • 20% to the protocol • No referrer cut Treasury is optional A creator can deposit tokenized stocks as a public trust signal, readable by anyone on chain. It doesn't change the opening price. Every launch still opens at 1 ETH. Who controls what The fee config for this generation is owned by a 2-of-3 Safe multisig, not a single wallet, and every admin power is listed on each token page. Next: a timelock on top, so any change is announced days before it can take effect. The first launch on the new factory is $BALLAST itself, paired with $NVDA and $WETH, opening at 1 ETH. ballasted.fun

What if we redeploy $BALLAST? New contract, paired with a stock token instead of only ETH, and backed by a real treasury you can read on chain. Nothing moves until a plan for current holders is published. Do you agree?

One swap, two venues. ETH → NVDA through the @RamsesExchange WETH/NVDA pool. NVDA → your token through its Ballast pool on @Uniswap v4. Proven on mainnet: 0.0002 ETH → 0.0024 NVDA → 2,368,931 HARUNA. One-transaction zap in the app is next.

Attention moves the chart. It doesn't stay. What's underneath a Ballast token is a treasury of real stock, valued live from @chainlink. Not a price guarantee — a number anyone can check.

36.3M+ $BALLAST burned — 3.63% of supply. $0 distributed to holders. Revenue buys on the open market and gets burned. That's the whole mechanism. ballasted.fun/app/buyback

Is a buyback a payout? No. Nothing reaches holders. Revenue buys the token on the open pool, burn() destroys it, supply falls. That's it. Not yield. Not a dividend. Not revenue share. You don't get paid. You get a smaller denominator.

Launching on Ballast, start to finish. Name it. Pick what backs it. Put the reserve in. Fix the exit. Deploy. Five steps. Two of them — the treasury asset and the withdrawal notice period — can never be changed again, by you or by us. And if the market backing your token is closed, the button stays dark until it opens. There's no honest price to launch at yet. ballasted.fun

Buyback and burn, in full. Every swap on a Ballast pool pays a fee. That fee buys $BALLAST back off the open market. What gets bought gets burned — not moved to a treasury, not parked in a multisig. Burned. 36,300,000 gone so far. 3.63% of supply, permanently. Trading pays for it. The supply number only moves one direction.

What "treasury-backed" actually means on Ballast: A launch deposits into one of twenty allowlisted equities. @chainlink prices it. Reserve value divided by supply gives the backing per token. a number nobody at Ballast types in. And every withdrawal from that treasury has to be announced on-chain and sit out a notice period fixed at launch. Four steps, one number, one gate. Nothing here is a promise. Every number is a read.
