What is Pathogen?
Pathogen ($PATHO) is a self-spreading token. Holding it makes you a carrier. When the contagion spreads to the wallets you interact with, they become carriers too — and they spread it onward. The map above is the live infection field: every cell is a real wallet, and clicking it opens that wallet on Etherscan.
How infection spreads
Every buy and sell carries a small tax that funds a reflection pool. The pool is then spread to carriers' contacts — the wallets they've interacted with on-chain — as a reflection credit. Those contacts are now infected: they hold $PATHO and earn from the next wave. The infection propagates through the real interaction graph, generation after generation.
The tax
4% total on buys and sells, paid in $PATHO: 2% funds reflections (the spread) and 2% funds the distribution engine. No tax on plain wallet-to-wallet transfers.
Reflections can't drain the pool
Reflections are only ever credited to real, eligible wallets — never the liquidity pool, the contract, or any other contract. This is enforced on-chain, so the distribution mechanism can't be used to pull value out of liquidity.
Tokenomics
- Supply: 1,000,000,000 $PATHO
- 95% seeded as launch liquidity
- 4% tax (2% reflections / 2% engine)
- Contract & registry addresses published at launch
How to get infected
Buy $PATHO to become a carrier, or receive a meaningful amount from an infected wallet. Stay holding to keep earning reflections as the contagion grows.
Honest note: contact detection runs off-chain (the chain can't see a wallet's full history from inside a contract); the reflection credits and all eligibility guards are enforced on-chain.
