Hatcher Flow

Hatchers are verified-human early buyers. They get first access to launches during the hatching window, their conviction signal weighs the public feed, and — once the Crack fires — they share in a pro-rated slice of the 0.5% protocol fee on launches they helped graduate.

Today (pre-D.2)

The hatcher system is live in public-read form. Personalization, minting, vouching, and earnings land with the D.* sprints.

Public surfaces you can use right now:

• Feed — every Hatch-scored launch, newest first. Refresh-based, no auth.
• Leaderboards — best + worst of the last 24h. Preliminary rows excluded.
• Creator profile — every launch a creator has enrolled.
• Score detail — paste the URL, read the six-signal breakdown, check the attestation.

Once D.2 ships — Hatcher NFA mint

The full hatcher flow lands with Sprint D.2. Expected pieces:

1. Verify (World ID)

You prove you're a unique human via World ID's production tier. The proof is submitted to /v1/hatcher/verify; we store only the nullifier, not any PII.

2. Mint

Mint your Hatcher NFA — a non-transferable (soulbound) BAP-578 token on BNB Chain. You hold exactly one Hatcher NFA forever; it represents your reputation. Transferring is impossible; slashing is the only way it leaves your wallet (admin-gated, tied to vouching misbehavior).

See ADR 0002.

3. Personalized feed

/hatchers/feed gets per-Hatcher filtering:

• Your crews' discoveries surface first.
• Creators you've vouched for get a visible weight.
• Tokens matching your tags (e.g., food memes, dog memes) rank higher.

4. Vouching

Stake reputation on a launch you believe will graduate. Vouches cost reputation if the launch rugs. Skin in the game; prevents casual signal-spam.

5. Rewards

When a launch you helped discover + signal graduates, Hatch collects 0.5% of its LP fees and splits a portion across vouching hatchers pro-rated by reputation share. Payouts are stable-coin; no lockup, no stake requirement.

See Rewards guide (lands with D.6).

Crews

Crews are small groups of 5–50 verified hatchers who discover, signal, and earn together.

How a crew works

1. Discover — your crew's top-signallers bubble up launches before the broader feed sees them. Early = more reputation weight at graduation.
2. Signal — a crew-scoped conviction vote counts as a multiplier on individual signal. Costs reputation if the launch rugs.
3. Earn — when a crew-discovered token graduates, Hatch splits a portion of the 0.5% fee across crew members pro-rated by reputation share.

Why crews matter

A single hatcher's signal is one data point. A crew's aligned signal is an early market. Crews let aligned groups (by taste, geography, language) form naturally without us having to run a "discord boost" mechanism.

/crews is a concept page. Enrollment opens after D.2. Drop your wallet and Telegram in the community chat to get pinged.

Sybil resistance

Three layers:

1. World ID (D.1) — unique-human proof. One person, one NFA.
2. Wallet heuristics (D.1, scoped) — wallet age, tx count, balance floor. Catches fresh-wallet farms that slipped World ID.
3. Vouching economics (D.4) — reputation cost for bad signals. Farms are unprofitable because rugs are expensive.

Sybil Resistance is Sprint I.2 and lands once D.1 is live.

Why NFAs are soulbound

A tradeable reputation token is a rented reputation token. If you could sell your Hatcher NFA, a scammer could buy it, vouch on a rug, and walk away with the fees — burning the seller's reputation.

Soulbound is the non-negotiable constraint. Slashing (admin-gated, tied to vouching misbehavior) is the only "off-ramp." See ADR 0002.

Where I am in the flow

Today: every hatcher is at "unverified" until D.1 ships. The public surfaces are designed to still be useful at that state.
