Merit

/WETH

MERIT is a Base-native utility token designed to align long-term holders with real product development. The protocol routes a 2% transaction tax on buys, sells, and transfers into three buckets: 0.5% to automated liquidity provision on the Uniswap V2 MERIT/WETH pair (LP tokens burned to deepen the pool), 1% to ETH dividend distributions for qualifying holders (≥1,000 MERIT; proportional, auto-claim on a daily cadence—no separate staking contract required), and 0.5% to a marketing and growth wallet. Supply is intentionally bootstrapped small at launch with a transparent mint cap of one billion MERIT for milestone-based issuance tied to ecosystem expansion, not speculative emissions. What the project is building is the opposite of a chart-only meme: tax revenue and treasury activity are meant to fund tangible MeritCryptoToken initiatives—video games where MERIT can be used for purchases, rewards, and digital goods; decentralized AI compute and small datacenter-style capacity where MERIT pays for or discounts access; trading and tooling surfaces with fee advantages for token users; grants and smaller partnerships; and a cross-merchant “Merit Rewards” style network where restaurants, cafés, and local service businesses can enroll so customers earn and redeem MERIT-linked value across participating locations instead of siloed loyalty apps. From a holder perspective, participation is meant to combine passive ETH income for sufficiently sized, qualifying balances with upside tied to genuine utility adoption as those products ship and circulate MERIT. Centralized configuration exists by design (pause, blacklist, tax tuning, recovery)—the white paper is explicit that users should treat this as high-risk experimental software, verify the official contract on Base, and do their own research. Nothing here is an offer of securities or a promise of profit; it is a summary of published token mechanics and roadmap intent as of the public draft white paper.
