The cat that showed up late.

Cat Was Early is one of the busiest new tokens on Robinhood Chain. This is the other cat, the one that shows up after everyone else already bought. Most of us are that cat more often than we admit, so the project comes with a tool that tells you how late you are before you buy anything.

Cat Was Late the token is the project's own coin. Holding it gives you no share of the fees and no rights. It is a meme token with a useful meter attached, and it has nothing to do with the team behind Cat Was Early.

A token is a balance kept by a small program on the blockchain, called a contract. Once published, nobody can edit it. Cat Was Late runs on three: the token, the contract that launched it, and a fee contract on its trading pool.

• Fixed supply. Every token was created in the launch transaction and the contract cannot make more.
• Most tokens went into the pool. A pool is a pot of tokens and ETH on Uniswap that anyone can trade against. At launch the bulk went in and a part went to the project wallet. The team bought nothing before trading opened.
• The pool is locked. Putting money in a pool gives you a receipt that lets you take it out. That receipt went to the dead address, which nobody controls, so nobody can empty the pool.
• No owner. Nobody can pause trading, raise the fee, block a wallet or change the rules.
• Fees in ETH. A buy pays 5% of the ETH you put in and a sell pays 5% of the ETH paid out. It goes to the project wallet and keeps the meter running.

1. You send 0.01 ETH. The fee contract sends 0.0005 ETH to the project wallet.
2. The other 0.0095 ETH goes into the pool, which sends you tokens. The price rises a little.
3. You sell them back. The pool pays out ETH and the price falls a little.
4. The fee contract takes 5% of that ETH and the rest reaches you.

Each trade pays its own 5% fee, plus gas, the small network charge on every transaction. Anyone can sell at any time, the project wallet included.

1. Get a wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby. Write the recovery phrase on paper and never type it into a website.
2. Put ETH on Robinhood Chain through a bridge or an exchange that supports it. Keep a little for gas.
3. Connect with the button in the box. Your wallet will offer to add Robinhood Chain if it doesn't know it.
4. Buy. Type an amount, check the estimate and confirm. If the price moves more than 3% before your order lands, it is refused.
5. Selling the first time asks for two approvals: one for Permit2, one for the Uniswap router. After that a sale is one confirmation.

1. Open the contract from the box. The explorer should show a verified mark, meaning the published code is what runs.
2. Read the Contract tab. There is no function that mints more and no owner who can change things.
3. Open the launch transaction and see where every token went.
4. Open the fee contract. Both fee numbers are 500, which means 5.00%, and nothing can change them.
5. Look up the pool receipt. Its owner is 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD.

The meter looks at three things about a token and turns each into a score from 0 to 100. The final score is the average of the three.

• Age. Hours since the token's biggest pool opened. One hour scores 0, thirty days scores 100.
• Holders. How many wallets hold it, from the Robinhood Chain explorer. One holder scores 0, twenty thousand scores 100.
• Run since the first trade. Today's price divided by the opening price of the pool's first candle on GeckoTerminal. No change scores 0, a hundred times scores 100.

Under 34 is Early, under 67 is Crowded, anything above is Late. The busy list refreshes about every ten minutes. A checked token is cached for eight minutes, and each visitor can check a few tokens a minute so the data sources are not overloaded.

Being early is not the same as being right. A token can score Early and still go to zero. The meter only tells you where you stand in the queue.

• The price can drop to almost nothing. Only use money you can afford to lose completely.
• The pool is small. One large sale can move the price hard in seconds.
• The project wallet holds tokens and can sell them at any time.
• Every buy and every sell pays a 5% fee, plus gas and price movement.
• The contracts cannot be changed, so a flaw could never be patched.
• Other people can launch tokens with the same name. Always check the address.
• The meter can be wrong or delayed when a data source has problems.
• No promise about price, no roadmap, no rewards, no staking, no airdrops.
• Nothing here is financial, legal or tax advice.
