Question 1

What is Alta (ALTA)?

Accepted Answer

A fixed-supply Ethereum token. One billion minted at launch, then it shrinks 0.05% every hour until only 1 token is left.

Question 2

Where do burned tokens come from?

Accepted Answer

Only the Uniswap V2 pool. Your wallet is never touched — burns pull ALTA from the LP side only.

Question 3

Does the burn affect price?

Accepted Answer

It can. Fewer ALTA in the pool backing the same ETH means the pool reprices immediately after each burn. That is not a guarantee — market demand still matters.

Question 4

Does my balance shrink?

Accepted Answer

No. Your holdings stay the same. Only the pool's ALTA reserves go down.

Question 5

Who triggers the burn?

Accepted Answer

Anyone. Call executeBurn() on the contract — no admin, no oracle. If hours are missed, one call catches up.

Question 6

What if nobody triggers it?

Accepted Answer

Nothing burns until someone does. The schedule does not pause — it just waits. Anyone can keep it running.

Question 7

Can the team mint more or stop it?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no mint function, no pause, no tax, and no team allocation. Ownership can be renounced.

Question 8

Where did all the tokens go at launch?

Accepted Answer

100% into the Uniswap V2 ALTA/WETH pool. No treasury, no airdrop, no insider wallets.

Question 9

Is there a team or community?

Accepted Answer

No team, no maintainer, no official community. ALTA is an experimental tokenomics project — the rules are in the contract.

Question 10

When does it end?

Accepted Answer

When total supply hits exactly 1 ALTA. At 0.05% per hour, that takes about 4.7 years if burns run continuously.

Question 11

How do I buy ALTA?

Accepted Answer

On Uniswap V2 (Ethereum mainnet). Use the Buy ALTA button in the nav — it links straight to the swap.

Question 12

Is it audited?

Accepted Answer

ALTA uses well-audited, battle-tested contracts from OpenZeppelin and Solady. The ALTA deployment itself has not had a dedicated third-party audit.
