Adversarial markets / radical disclosure / institutional funding

RugPull

Ethical crypto through randomized unethical behavior.

A paired-token experiment asking whether a behavior normally hidden from market participants can become a legitimate object of economic and anthropological study when its rules, probability, institutional beneficiary, and consequences are visible in advance.

Nothing hidden.The treasury allocation, hazard equation, random draw, event size, routing fee, price impact, and beneficiary are public.
Nothing promised.RugPull is not presented as a stable investment or guaranteed appreciation mechanism.
Everything measured.The experiment records learning, anticipation, drawdown, extraction, institutional revenue, and participant asymmetry.

01 / Research proposition

Can disclosure change the moral character of a market shock?

RugPull does not claim that disclosure automatically makes manipulation lawful or harmless. It creates an observable laboratory for testing whether informed participation, public rules, verifiable randomness, and a socially beneficial institutional purpose alter behavior, legitimacy, and wealth distribution.

A

Market learning

Event timing remains uncertain, but conditional probabilities become estimable. As observations accumulate, traders can learn when risk is elevated even when they cannot know the exact event.

B

Moral economy

The project measures whether participants tolerate losses differently when the beneficiary is an educational and research institution rather than an anonymous promoter.

C

Regulatory evidence

Every event becomes a documented case of disclosed algorithmic destabilization, producing evidence relevant to market integrity, investor comprehension, and possible regulatory design.

Primary questionCan radical transparency convert a concealed exploit into informed participation without merely giving sophisticated actors a better mechanism for extracting value from less sophisticated participants?

02 / Economic architecture

Separate the experiment from Stella Nova's income

The treasury rotation remains inside the paired-token ecosystem. Stella Nova receives a fixed, disclosed protocol fee from each completed event rather than silently removing the full proceeds.

1

RugPullA or RugPullB

A public hazard score identifies elevated event risk.

2

Virtual USD route

The source treasury sale crosses a modeled constant-product pool.

3

Stella Nova fee

A published percentage is separated and recorded.

4

Opposing token

Remaining proceeds purchase the paired token.

Protocol revenue

Rt = f Et

f is the disclosed Stella Nova funding rate and E is gross event value.

Treasury continuity

The initial 50% allocations are reported honestly after every swap. The model does not falsely force either treasury position back to 50%.

Depth-aware limits

Standard events are capped by available liquidity and trailing trading volume. The catastrophic full-pull condition remains available as a simulation variable.

03 / Public algorithm

Predictable risk, unpredictable realization

The hazard is deterministic and visible. A separately generated random draw determines whether the known probability becomes an event.

Initial price

P0 = Y0 / X0

Initial price is established by the USD-to-token reserve ratio, not an arbitrary displayed number.

Market curve

x y = k

Large trades experience nonlinear slippage, making liquidity depth more consequential than nominal market capitalization.

Hazard score

H = .35T + .25F + .25V + .15I

Elapsed time, trading frequency, valuation, and A/B imbalance determine observable event risk.

Random event

u < pt

A uniform random value u triggers the event when it falls below the published daily probability.

01Calculate A and B hazard scores from public state.
02Apply cooldown and convert each score into a daily probability.
03Generate independently verifiable randomness.
04Select the eligible source token and randomized treasury fraction.
05Apply liquidity and trailing-volume caps.
06Sell, separate the disclosed funding fee, buy the opposing token, and publish the evidence hash.

04 / Interactive research model

One-year market-learning simulator

Compare transparent capped events with an uncapped catastrophic scenario. The model also follows three participant archetypes to expose how public probability signals can create unequal outcomes.

05 / Research outputs

What the experiment can actually measure

Probability learning

Measure calibration, signal lift, pre-event positioning, and the rate at which human and automated participants infer the hazard function.

Distributional effects

Compare outcomes among passive holders, hazard-aware participants, post-event buyers, liquidity providers, arbitrageurs, and the institutional treasury.

Legitimacy and consent

Test whether radical disclosure and public-benefit funding produce informed consent or merely normalize loss transfer under an ethical narrative.

Critical falsification condition: if sophisticated actors systematically capture value from participants who understand the branding but not the mathematics, transparency may function as legalistic disclosure rather than meaningful informed consent.
