Whitepaper

Abstract

Random Token ($RAT) is a decentralized, community-driven token designed to gamify crypto transactions through a unique randomized bonus system. By combining transparent tokenomics, fair distribution, and fun mechanics, Random Token aims to foster a vibrant community where every transaction carries the potential for surprise rewards. With a vision to redefine engagement in the meme coin space, Random Token integrates randomness, transparency, and long-term sustainability.

Notice

Each on-chain transfer of $RAT may incur a random fee of 0–10% of the tokens being sent. These tokens are distributed to a random, eligible holder. As a result, the recipient of the transaction usually receives fewer tokens than the amount originally sent.

Token Details

Core Features

1. Randomized Bonus Mechanism

RAT introduces a lottery-like random reward system to further incentivize user engagement. Any holder who maintains a minimum balance of at least 100,000 RAT and is not excluded (i.e., not the team, liquidity pool, or governance address) can become eligible for a bonus. During a standard transfer:

Bonuses are triggered only by on-chain transactions; off-chain or custodial transactions (e.g., on CEX platforms) do not trigger bonuses.

2. Token Distribution & Allocation

The initial supply of 1,000,000,000 RAT is distributed as follows:

Through Community Transfers, a portion of the locked amount can be allocated to community incentives, ecosystem grants, and marketing efforts to spur growth and adoption.

3. Team Vesting

To promote trust and alignment with community interests, the Team has 40,000,000 RAT locked in the contract. The vesting schedule is:

This vesting plan ensures the core team remains motivated to grow the RAT ecosystem well into the future.

4. Community & Ecosystem

Random Token thrives on an active community. The 50,000,000 RAT in community reserve is earmarked to:

By uniting supporters, builders, and enthusiasts, Random Token seeks to become a premier token for both rewarding user engagement and providing a fair voice in governance.

5. Governance & Proposals

We believe that community governance is critical to the long-term success of Random Token. To that end, 150,000,000 RAT tokens are locked to be released only upon passing a governance vote. Here is how proposals work:

All vote counts and transactions are transparent on-chain.

6. Passive Burn Mechanism

Lost or inaccessible tokens are gradually removed from circulation, increasing scarcity over time. These tokens remain eligible for bonuses until a transfer is attempted, ensuring supply is regulated.

7. Whale Prevention

Transactions exceeding 7,500,000 RAT are disallowed, preventing large transfers that might disrupt liquidity or price stability. This encourages “whales” to split transactions, allowing more holders to benefit from bonuses.

Roadmap

Our roadmap evolves with community input and governance proposals. Below are our initial milestones:

Technical Innovations

1. Randomness in Bonus Allocation

The blockhash of the most recent block and the sender's address are used to determine bonus amounts and recipients.

2. Holder Eligibility

Eligibility is dynamically managed, ensuring real-time updates to bonus distributions while excluding certain addresses like team wallets.

Gas Cost Analysis

1. Adding or Removing Eligible Holders

Gas Cost Behavior: The cost for adding or removing eligible holders is paid by the sender and does not increase as the array grows.

Conclusion: The gas cost for these operations remains constant, independent of array size.

2. Random Access for Bonus Distribution

Gas Cost Behavior: Accessing a random index in the eligibleHolders array may have slightly higher gas costs as the array grows, due to storage layout in Ethereum.

Why It Happens:

Gas Cost Estimate:

Conclusion: The increase is small (~300 gas per access) and unlikely to significantly affect transaction costs.

3. Eligibility Updates

Gas Cost Behavior: Updates to eligibility (adding or removing holders) are triggered only by the sender's transaction and involve:

Impact of Array Growth: These updates do not iterate over the array, so the cost remains constant.

Conclusion: Gas costs for eligibility updates are paid by the sender and remain constant as the array grows.

4. Contract Deployment

Gas Cost Behavior: Deployment happens before the array grows. At deployment, the eligibleHolders array is small or empty, so:

Conclusion: Deployment costs are independent of the array size at later stages.

5. Bulk Operations

Gas Cost Behavior: The contract does not support bulk operations (e.g., distributing bonuses to multiple holders in a single transaction). Instead:

6. Estimated Maximum Gas Cost

Total Maximum Gas Cost: 25,000+30,000+45,000+21,000=121,000 gas

Impact of Array Growth

Each transaction’s gas cost remains almost constant, depending on eligibility updates.

Conclusion

Random Token combines meme coin appeal with gamified transactions. Its robust mechanisms ensure fairness, sustainability, and engagement, setting a benchmark in the crypto space.
