Trade the weather. The weather buys you back.
$SQUALL takes a 1.88% (188 bps) creator tax on Pons; that fee lands in TaxRouter, which immutably forwards 50% to buybacks, 30% to the night Squall pool, and 20% to Fog bonds.
Pons creator tax on $SQUALL trades. Fee recipient is TaxRouter
(0xA4e3…F4Ab). No other wallet sits in the path.
Hardcoded constants: BUYBACK_BPS = 5000, POOL_BPS = 3000,
FOG_BPS = 2000. ETH and ERC20 route the same way. No owner knob to reallocate.
Half of tax surplus buys $SQUALL and burns to dead. Pressure stays on the open market — the weather literally buys you back.
Surplus feeds the nightly Squall. Watchers compete for the pot. Pool skim: 88 bps of the night pot → dead address before winner payout.
Fog sells discounted $SQUALL inventory vs spot —
8.80% (880 bps) discount, never below floorPrice.
Bonds lock demand into the desk.

TaxRouter is the only address Pons needs. Everything else is downstream of the immutable split.
