Protocol Overview

KrAIken ($KRK)

A DeFi token with a price floor backed by real ETH. No rug pulls. No promises. Programmatic guarantees enforced by immutable smart contracts.

Built on Base (Ethereum L2) · Traded on Uniswap V3

The Problem

Most DeFi tokens have no bottom

When sentiment turns, there is nothing stopping a token from going to zero. Liquidity disappears, holders are left with worthless bags, and the project is dead.

What if every token had a minimum redemption price backed by actual ETH reserves?

KrAIken solves this with a protocol-managed floor price. Every $KRK token is backed by ETH locked in smart contracts. You can always redeem at or above the floor.

Core Mechanism

The Floor: How It Works

The protocol holds ETH in a Uniswap V3 concentrated liquidity position. This ETH backing creates a minimum redemption price for every $KRK token:

floor price = ETH reserves ÷ total KRK supply

The floor is enforced by immutable smart contracts — not promises, not multisigs, not teams. A programmatic guarantee.

Asymmetric slippage: The protocol's three-position liquidity layout means buys push the price up more than sells push it down. With balanced trading, ETH accumulates structurally, raising the floor over time.

Liquidity Architecture

Self-Adjusting Liquidity

The LiquidityManager deploys ETH across three Uniswap V3 positions, each serving a distinct purpose:

Floor

Deep liquidity at VWAP-adjusted prices. The safety net that backs every token.

Anchor

Near current price. Handles active trading with concentrated liquidity for fast price discovery.

Discovery

Wide range above current price. Captures upside and manages supply expansion during demand.

The protocol recenters all three positions atomically — no human triggers needed. An on-chain optimizer reads staking sentiment to adjust positioning automatically.

User Funnels

Three Ways to Participate

1

Hold

Buy $KRK and hold. The floor gives you asymmetric downside protection — your tokens always have a minimum ETH value. The protocol does the rest.

2

Stake

Stake $KRK for leveraged directional exposure. Declare a tax rate to claim a share of the staking pool. When someone buys KRK, stakers get a proportional share.

3

Compete

Find underpriced staking positions and snatch them. Challenge positions by committing to a higher tax rate. The displaced staker gets paid out at full market value.

Get Started

How to Buy $KRK

1

Set Up

Get a Web3 wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) with ETH on the Base network.

2

Swap

Go to kraiken.org and click "Get $KRK". This takes you to Uniswap on Base with the right pair pre-selected.

3

Done

Your $KRK is in your wallet. It's backed by the floor from the moment you hold it. No staking required to benefit from the floor.

Network: Base (Ethereum L2)

Low gas fees. Fast confirmations. Add Base to your wallet at chainlist.org.

Pool: KRK/WETH (1% fee tier)

The protocol's dominant liquidity position on Uniswap V3. All trading flows through this pool.

Staking

How to Stake $KRK

Staking is optional. It gives you leveraged exposure to protocol growth via Harberger tax mechanics.

1

Open the Staking App

Go to kraiken.org/app/stake and connect your wallet.

2

Choose Amount & Tax Rate

Pick how much KRK to stake and your yearly tax rate. Higher rate = more expensive to hold, but harder for others to challenge your position.

3

Confirm & Earn

Approve the transaction. You now hold staking slots. When new KRK is minted (from buys), you receive a proportional share.

Harberger Tax Mechanics

Your tax rate serves two purposes: it's the cost of holding your position, and it's a signal to the protocol. High aggregate staking + low taxes = community confidence = the optimizer positions liquidity more aggressively.

Challenges Are Fair

If someone snatches your position, you receive the full market value of your staked tokens, including any earnings. You can always re-stake.

Value Proposition

Why the Floor Matters

The floor creates asymmetric risk: limited downside, full upside exposure.

For Holders

Your tokens always have a minimum ETH value. Even in a bear market, the floor gives you a redemption price that no other DeFi token offers. You don't need to trust anyone — the contracts are immutable and verifiable.

For Traders

The floor acts as a known support level. Price discovery happens above the floor, with the protocol's asymmetric slippage structurally favoring accumulation during balanced trading activity.

No rug pulls possible. Liquidity is locked in smart contracts. There is no admin function to drain the pool. The LiquidityManager address is set once on the token contract and cannot be changed.

Differentiators

KrAIken vs. Typical DeFi Tokens

Feature Typical DeFi Token $KRK
ETH-backed floor price No Yes — every token backed by real ETH
Liquidity management Manual / third-party Autonomous, on-chain, sentiment-driven
Rug-pull protection Trust the team Immutable contracts, no admin drain
Supply mechanics Fixed or inflationary Elastic — mint on buy, burn on sell
Community sentiment Ignored Staking rates feed the optimizer directly
Upside exposure Full Full — plus floor-backed downside protection
