Blocks
Time is cut into 4-hour blocks aligned on UTC: 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00. A stem starts with the first full block after launch. A block counts only once it has closed.
Nodes
A closed block adds one node when ordinary wallets bought at least as much as everyone sold, and at least one ordinary wallet bought.
- Flows are measured in % of supply, from token balance changes in each trade on the coin's Stonks pool, or on its Raydium pool after graduation.
- The dev and the declared bundle wallets are insiders. Their buys never count. Their sells always do.
- A block where sells win adds nothing. The stem does not break and does not shrink: it waits.
Drawn by code: one internode per node earned. If every block counts, node 60 arrives on day 10.
Blooms
Nodes 15, 30 and 45 are small blooms. Node 60 is the great bloom. Coins that can reach a bloom on the same UTC day form a synchronous bloom, shown together on the homepage.
Pre-signed burns
At launch the dev sets aside a share of their dev buy, the bloom reserve, and signs four burn transactions in Phantom, one per bloom. Each burn rides on its own durable nonce, so it stays valid until used. No key ever reaches Bamboo.
| Bloom | Weight | Share of the reserve |
|---|---|---|
| Node 15 | 1 | 10 % |
| Node 30 | 1 | 10 % |
| Node 45 | 2 | 20 % |
| Node 60 | 6 | 60 % |
Every burn has a public status. Armed: signed and waiting. Burned: submitted when its node arrived. Cancelled, in red: the dev sold before that bloom or used the nonce, so the burn can no longer happen.
Bundle block 0
Optional. Up to four more wallets buy in the same block as the launch. The five transactions go out as one Jito bundle: the launch with the dev buy first, the tip in the last. Either all five land, or none does and the studio says so.
Each extra wallet signs its own buy, with its own price tolerance. Every bundle wallet and its share of supply is printed on the coin page.
Fees
Bamboo takes 0 %. It holds no treasury, no vault and no site wallet. Stonks applies its own trading fees: 1 % for StonkFun and 0.25 % for Raydium, with 0 % for the creator.
What Bamboo cannot do
- Move your tokens. It can only submit the burns you signed.
- Stop the dev from selling. It can only show it.
- Promise anything about price. A stem measures who bought and who sold, nothing more.
