How CREST works

What CREST is

$CREST is a memecoin, and holding it is the key to everything in the forest:

• Hold CREST to mint a tree.
• Lock CREST into your tree to enter it in the daily race.
• Back other trees with your CREST and share their wins.

CREST is a community meme, and the race is a game.

Two forests, one race

$CREST grows in two forests. Both are $CREST, both fill the same road to the mint, and they race each other to get there.

Which should I buy? Whichever chain you already use. They're the same project, just in different forests.

• Both launch at the same hour, so neither is "the original".
• They are two separate coins. They don't move between chains, and their prices will be different. Think of the gap as the scoreboard.
• Each forest has its own supply, and the team keeps at most 5% in each.

Getting $CREST

1. Set up a wallet for your chain: Solana for pump.fun, or Robinhood Chain for Pons.
2. Add funds to it.
3. Open $CREST on pump.fun or Pons and buy. Nothing else to sign up for.

Only use the official link from our X or Telegram. Copycat tokens are common, so check before you buy.

The road to the mint

Tree minting doesn't open on a date. It opens when both forests together have bought enough $CREST. Peek at the line-up in the nursery.

How "bought" is counted: in each forest, the total $CREST supply, minus what is still sitting in the launchpad or trading pools, minus team and treasury wallets. In other words, CREST that real people have bought and are holding. The numbers come straight from each chain's public data, so anyone can check them.

The race bonus: the forest that has bought more when the road fills gets its Wave 1 opened first.

The trees coming soon

Only 5,000 trees will ever exist: 2,500 in the Solana Grove and 2,500 in the Robinhood Grove. They're released in five waves of 1,000 (500 per forest), and each wave opens only after the last one sells out. You mint trees in the forest where you hold your $CREST.

• To mint, you need to hold your tier's amount at a random snapshot, and still hold it when you mint. There's a small mint fee.
• One tree per wallet per wave. If a wave is oversubscribed, a lottery decides.
• The birth lock stays inside the tree. You only get it back by burning the tree (minus a 10% fee), which retires that tree forever.
• Bought a tree from someone else? It can't race until you hold and lock your tier's amount.

The daily race coming soon

Every 24 hours the whole forest races.

1. Plant: lock at least your tier's amount of CREST into your tree.
2. Grow: every minute, your tree grows by the square root of its locked CREST, times its tier bonus.
3. Back: any holder can lock 1,000+ CREST into any tree to help it grow.
4. Harvest: the 10 tallest trees split the prize pot.
5. Unlock: all locked CREST comes back, and the next round starts.

growth per minute = √(locked CREST) × tier bonus

• Early beats late. Growth only counts from the minute CREST is locked, so locking at the last second does almost nothing.
• Square-root growth means 100× more CREST only grows 10× faster. Whales can't simply buy the win, and splitting CREST across wallets gains nothing.
• Each tree holds at most 5,000,000 CREST per round.
• Pulling out mid-round costs a 5% early-exit fee.

Prizes coming soon

Prizes come from CREST trading fees, not from players' CREST: 30% of trading fee income goes into the daily pot. Each forest races its own trees and has its own pot, funded by its own trading. More trading means bigger pots. Every week, the tallest tree in each forest also faces off in a forest vs forest showdown, just for bragging rights.

Inside each winning tree, the owner gets 50% and the backers share 50%, split by how much they locked and for how long.

Rings coming soon

Trees remember. Every round a tree races adds a ring, and every top-10 finish adds a golden ring. At ring milestones the tree's art changes: blossoms, then fruit, then a glowing crown. Rings stay with the tree, even when it changes hands.

Fair play

• Random snapshot: the mint snapshot block is committed in advance by hash, so nobody can buy, qualify and dump.
• One tree per wallet per wave, with a lottery if a wave is oversubscribed.
• Whale-proof growth: square-root growth plus the 5M cap per tree.
• No sniping: growth only counts from when CREST is locked.
• Public scoring: the formula is open, uses only on-chain locks, and has no randomness. The race is about strategy, not luck.
• Fixed limits: the 5,000 tree cap and all fees will be set in the contract, and no admin will be able to touch locked CREST.

Team and treasury coming soon

• The team keeps at most 5% of CREST in each forest, in public wallets, unlocking monthly over 12 months.
• The treasury is a 3-of-5 multisig that publishes a public report every month.
• Team income comes from trading fees (70%; the other 30% funds prizes), mint fees, the 5% early-exit fee, the 10% burn fee, a 5% royalty on tree resales, and later cosmetic tree skins.

What's live, what's next

1. Now: the CREST identity, this website, and the community on X and Telegram.
2. Next: $CREST launches on pump.fun and Pons at the same hour, and the forest race to the mint begins.
3. Then: the tree and race launches.
4. After that: Wave 1 (snapshot, lottery and mint), then daily races, then waves 2 to 5.
