What is claim lock?
What is claim lock?
Claim lock enables you to restrict token claims for a predetermined period after launch. This ensures that only the tokens allocated for liquidity are available at launch, helping to prevent early sell-offs and contributing to price stabilization.
What is vesting lock?
What is vesting lock?
Vesting locks tokens depending on the amount of the tokens that was raised when the FIRST BUY happened. The earlier you buy, the longer the vesting lock. The maximum amount is 10 days, and it decreases linearly with the amount of METIS raised (after 50% is raised the lock time is 5 days). Vesting is combined with the claim lock, so the total duration is the sum of the two.
What are the tokenomics of the created meme tokens?
What are the tokenomics of the created meme tokens?
All meme tokens start with a circulating supply of 1 billion. Of this, 400 million are reserved for liquidity, 35 million go toward platform fees, and the remainder is available for sale during the raise. Due to the bonding curve, any unsold tokens will be burned when liquidity is added, ensuring a balanced supply.
What is the market cap of the token once it launches?
What is the market cap of the token once it launches?
The market cap depends on the amount of METIS raised and its price. For 115 METIS raised, the market cap is equivalent to the value of 250 METIS. Similarly, for 215 METIS raised, the market cap corresponds to the value of 500 METIS, and for 315 METIS the market cap corresponds to the value of 750 METIS.
Participating in the Raise
Why isn’t there a sell option?
Why isn’t there a sell option?
The goal of the raise is to distribute initial tokens fairly and gather liquidity for future trading. If the raise doesn’t reach its target in time, you’ll be fully refunded, so there’s no need for a sell button. This way, you either receive tokens at an attractive entry price or get your METIS back.
What happens when the raise target is met?
What happens when the raise target is met?
When the raise target is met, the raised tokens are paired with 400 million meme tokens and the liquidity is locked forever on Hercules Dex. You can claim your tokens then and freely trade them on the exchange.
What happens if the raise timer expires?
What happens if the raise timer expires?
If the raise timer runs out without reaching the target METIS amount, you’ll be able to reclaim your investment. A refund button will appear on the token page, allowing you to get your METIS back easily.
How is the buy price determined?
How is the buy price determined?
The price is set by a bonding curve: as more METIS is collected, the token price gradually increases, rewarding early participants with lower prices. Even the final price in the raise will be below the public launch price, so joining early or late still offers a benefit. Check the chart below for a visual representation.

You need to import the token address to see it on the DEX. Once the Hercules team approves the PR to add the token to the UI, it will be displayed by default without the need for import. As the platform evolves, this process will be automated to ensure smoother transitions.
How long is the liquidity locked?
How long is the liquidity locked?
Liquidity is locked in a spNFT permanently, ensuring that the token remains tradable and secure. This lock is enforced by the Hercules platform, and can be verified on the blockchain.
What happens if I miss the initial token raise?
What happens if I miss the initial token raise?
No problem—the market cap will remain relatively low. Once the raise concludes, you’ll be able to trade the token on the Hercules exchange.
What happens if I deposit METIS that exceeds the raise target?
What happens if I deposit METIS that exceeds the raise target?
You’ll receive tokens for the portion of METIS needed to reach the target, and any excess METIS will be returned to you.
