Executive Summary

PairPunk is a revolutionary blockchain-based memory game that combines the excitement of competitive gaming with the financial incentives of decentralized finance (DeFi). Built on the high-performance Solana blockchain, PairPunk offers players the opportunity to compete in skill-based memory challenges while earning real rewards.

Our platform introduces a novel "Play-to-Earn" mechanism where cognitive skill directly translates to financial rewards. Players compete in real-time memory matching games with prize pools distributed among all players. Platform generates revenue through SOL entry fees used exclusively for PAIR token buybacks and burns.

The PAIR token (1B total supply, 6 decimals) launched on bonk.fun with 96% in public circulation for trading. Only 4% retained for development and marketing. Entry fees go to PAIR buybacks/burns, while prize distribution operates through separate mechanisms, ensuring sustainable tokenomics and transparent gameplay rewards.

Token Economics & Revenue

Round-Based Rewards

Players pay SOL-based entry fees to participate in game rounds, with fees used exclusively for PAIR token buybacks and burns:

💰 Traffic-Based Entry Fees

🟢 Low Traffic0.0005 SOL
🟡 Medium Traffic0.001 SOL
🔴 High Traffic0.002 SOL

� Deflationary Tokenomics

Entry fees are used exclusively for PAIR token buybacks and burns, creating deflationary pressure. Prize distribution operates independently through separate mechanisms. This ensures continuous token value growth while maintaining competitive gameplay rewards.

SOL entry fees fund PAIR token buybacks and burns - separate from prize distribution

SOL Entry Fees & PAIR Buyback System

Entry fees are paid in SOL and used exclusively for PAIR token buybacks and burns, creating deflationary pressure:

� Investment-Weighted Distribution

Rewards are distributed based on performance AND stake size - higher investors get exponentially better returns for the same skill level, encouraging meaningful participation.

Formula: 20% pure score + 50% investment-weighted performance + 30% position bonuses

Player Prize Distribution

Inclusive Reward Structure

While SOL entry fees are reserved for PAIR token buybacks and burns, player rewards are distributed through a separate competitive prize pool system where EVERYONE gets paid - no player leaves empty-handed!

💰 Universal Payouts

🎯 Score-Based (20% of pool)

All players earn based on their performance
