Questions.
Short answers. The full rules are on How it works.
Who counts as a sniper?
Any third-party wallet that buys in blocks +1 to +3 after creation. The creator, programs, the pool and platform accounts are excluded. A transfer between two wallets is neither a buy nor a sell.
Does Scope hold any funds?
No. There is no treasury, no vault and no site wallet. Everything goes through the dev's wallet, and the site takes no fee. Stonks charges 1 % StonkFun and 0.25 % Raydium per trade.
What does “released” mean?
The snipers held at that check, so that tranche does not burn. The site deletes the pre-signed burn and the dev closes its nonce. The tokens stay in the dev's bag, visible.
What does “cancelled” mean?
A burn that could not land because the dev's bag no longer covered it, or because the dev voided its nonce. It shows in red on the coin page.
Can I check the numbers myself?
Yes. The Proof page downloads a coin's raw trades and recomputes everything in your browser with the same engine file the server runs.
What if nobody snipes?
The coin opens clean and nothing burns at 5 minutes. Each check then looks at the top 10 holders instead: above 25 % of supply, a tranche burns.
Does a burn make the price go up?
Scope promises nothing about price. A burn removes tokens from the dev's bag for good; what the market does is its own business.
Why at least 25 % reserved?
Below that, the scope has too little to burn to mean anything. The public studio enforces it.
