Token distribution and economics.
$CELL is the lifeblood of the Solana Penitentiary — a fair-launch currency minted on Pump.fun with no insiders, no presale, and no early release. The entire supply is already in circulation, and rewards are distributed through mining, handoffs, and surviving the shakedowns.
$CELL has a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) tokens, all minted on Pump.fun at launch. No additional tokens can ever be created. The entire supply is in circulation, distributed through gameplay, trading, and the ecosystem. No team allocation, no VC unlocks — pure fair launch.
Each round's rewards are split among inmates in the busted cell. A portion of every claim (10%) is recycled through the handoff mechanism, rewarding those who hold. This self-feeding cycle ensures that patience and timing drive true profit.
1% of all CELL deployed in mining rounds is taken as an admin fee to maintain the protocol, operations, and on-chain automation. The rest is fully redistributed among players through loot splits, handoffs, and the Warden's Safe jackpots.
With the full 1B supply already minted, deflation occurs naturally through lost keys, burned tokens in failed transactions, and unclaimed rewards over time. As the penitentiary ages, effective circulating supply slowly decreases. Scarcity builds loyalty — only those still standing hold real contraband.
