$DINO WHITEPAPER
THE DINO THAT
REFUSED TO GO EXTINCT
Everything below is either verifiable on-chain or marked as unconfirmed. Where we do not know something yet, this paper says so instead of filling the gap with a promise.
Last reviewed 8 September 2026 by the community takeover team.
ABSTRACT
$DINO is a community token built around the one piece of software almost everybody on earth has already played: the dinosaur that appears when the internet goes down. It is not a protocol, it does not claim a technical breakthrough, and it does not promise a return.
What it has is a character people recognise instantly, a playable game on its own front page, and a contract whose behaviour can be read by anyone in a few minutes. This paper documents that contract, states where the trading fees actually go, and is explicit about the parts the current team inherited without documentation.
THE LORE
An asteroid ended the dinosaurs. One of them missed the memo.
He waited out the impact winter, watched mammals get ambitious, and kept his head down through every empire that followed. When humans wired the world together he found the one place nobody was looking: the error page. For years he ran across it whenever a connection dropped — a small pixel reptile sprinting through a desert made of nothing, seen by billions, thought about by almost none.
Then somebody put him on-chain. Same sprite, same cacti, same refusal to stop running. The difference is that this desert has a contract address.
Extinction was only the beginning.
WHAT $DINO IS — AND IS NOT
It is
- a fixed-supply ERC-20 on Robinhood Chain
- a meme and a playable game, run by its holders
- traded against tokenised Alphabet stock ($GOOGL)
- fully readable: verified source, no hidden owner
It is not
- an investment product or a yield scheme
- affiliated with Google, Alphabet or Chromium
- controlled by a team that can mint or freeze it
- a promise that anything on the roadmap will happen

On “renounced”. You will often see that word in meme-coin papers. It does not apply here, and we are not going to borrow it: this contract never had an owner to renounce. The deployer address is recorded in the contract purely as a label, and the source states in as many words that it “confers no privileges over the token”.
SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION
$DINO was launched through the Pons V2 launchpad. The entire supply of one billion tokens was minted in a single transaction, straight into a bonding curve — not into a team wallet, and not into a pre-sale allocation. Everyone, the deployer included, had to buy from that curve on the same terms. Once the curve reached its graduation threshold of 24.2 GOOGL, the liquidity moved to the Uniswap pool that trades today.
That mechanism is why this paper contains no allocation table. There is no “team 15% / marketing 10%” split to publish, because the launch did not create one. What exists instead is a public ledger of who bought what, and it can be read directly.
What we cannot tell you. A bonding-curve launch does not prevent one buyer from taking a large position early. We have not audited the current holder distribution, and no one should take this paper's word for it — the holder list is on the explorer and it is the honest place to look.
WHERE THE FEES GO
Read from the launch's own on-chain configuration, not from a description of it.
| Parameter | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Trading fee | 1.00% | taken on trades, charged in GOOGL |
| Creator tax | 0% | no extra cut on top of the 1% |
| Protocol share | 30% of the fee | to the Pons protocol |
| Remainder | 70% of the fee | to the launch's creator address |
| Buyback flag | disabled on the curve | bought-back tokens would be vested 5 years, not burned |
| Hard cap | 20% combined | the launchpad cannot exceed this by design |
| Policy changes | snapshotted at launch | the launchpad owner can change its defaults, but not this pool's terms |
These terms cannot be changed underneath you. The launchpad's operator can adjust the protocol share and the buyback rate for future launches. This pool's figures were copied into its own record when it was registered, so a later change to the defaults does not reach back and alter what $DINO pays. The 30/70 split above is fixed for this pool.
Where the creator share actually goes. The 70% is paid to
the launch's registered creator fee recipient,
0xC603C8fb07E1f182aC34c41E176E4244606E734B.
That address is a contract, not a personal wallet, and it is not the
original developer's address. We traced it: the same contract funds the
batched $GOOGL payouts that reach wallets on this chain — in the batch we
examined it settled 113 claims across two rounds, with a zero claim fee.
What the original developer takes. The creator tax is set
to 0%, so there is no cut on top of the 1%. The deployer
address recorded in the contract
(0x619Ab513…3E42) held no $DINO and no $GOOGL
when we checked it on 8 September 2026.
Where it ends up. That address does not keep the money: it distributes $GOOGL to $DINO holders in proportion to their holdings. The next section shows how that was measured.
Still open. We cannot show who controls the receiving contract, and its source is not published. The flow is observable; the authority over it is not.
ABOUT THE $GOOGL PAIRING
$DINO does not trade against a stablecoin or a native coin. Its pair is $GOOGL — tokenised Alphabet Class A stock on Robinhood Chain. Buying DINO means selling GOOGL into the pool, and selling DINO means taking GOOGL out. The 1% trading fee is therefore collected in GOOGL as well.
The creator share does not stay where it lands. The address that receives it pays $GOOGL out again, continuously, to the people holding $DINO.
| What we measured | Result |
|---|---|
| Who receives | $DINO holders, in proportion to the size of the holding |
| Paid in | $GOOGL, from the creator fee address |
| Claim fee | Zero |
| Cadence | 151 payouts to one sampled wallet over 120 hours — roughly one every 48 minutes |
| Batch check | in one round, 40 of 45 recipients still held $DINO — and 23 of those 40 were paid at exactly the same rate, 0.0011206 $GOOGL per million $DINO |
| Holdings that round | from 3.9M to 31.7M $DINO, median 6.7M |
In other words the loop closes: every trade pays 1%, 70% of that reaches the creator fee address, and that address distributes $GOOGL to holders pro rata, without anyone having to press a button.
How this was checked. We took every $GOOGL payout in one distribution round, read each recipient's $DINO balance, and compared the two. If the distribution were arbitrary the ratio would scatter; it did not. The handful of recipients holding no $DINO had sold since the snapshot — which is also why an earlier draft of this paper got this section wrong, and said the payouts were unrelated to holding $DINO. The rate is not approximate: two dozen wallets of very different sizes divided out to the same figure to seven decimal places. The ones that did not are the ones whose balance moved after the snapshot was taken.
What is still not provable. The distributing contract's source is not published, so the exact snapshot rule — the moment balances are read, and any minimum below which a wallet is skipped — cannot be read from the chain, only inferred from its behaviour. Nor can we show who controls that contract. Rates observed in the past are not a promise about future ones, and nothing obliges this flow to continue.
A COMMUNITY TAKEOVER
$DINO is run by a community takeover team. The original developer launched the token and then left; the people maintaining the project today did not create it, were not paid by it, and hold no special powers over it. There is nothing to hold — the contract has no owner, no mint function and no admin key.
That shapes what this paper can honestly say. Anything the takeover team built — the site, the game, the leaderboard, this document — we can describe exactly. Anything the original developer configured, we can only read from the chain and report, including the parts that turn out to be inconvenient. The fee section above is an example.
In practice the takeover means the token keeps a working front door: a site that loads, a game that plays, a chart that is accurate, and links that go where they say they go.
ROADMAP
Goals, not guarantees. Nothing here is a commitment, a date, or a promise of value.
- Launched through the Pons curve — no presale, no team allocation
- Graduated to a live Uniswap pool against $GOOGL
- Runner playable on the site; X and Telegram opened
- Listed and tracked on DEX aggregators
- Community takeover formed after the original developer left
- $GOOGL from trading fees flowing to holders, pro rata
- Site rebuilt by the takeover team; global leaderboard live
- Contract and fee configuration read and published — this paper
- Establish who controls the creator fee address and publish the finding
- Get the distribution contract's source published, so the snapshot rule can be read rather than inferred
- Runner tournaments with the global leaderboard
- Holder milestones and listing visibility
- Keep the game, the leaderboard and the site running
- Holder milestones as they are reached
- Long-term: the dinosaur outlives the market cycle
Nothing beyond this is fixed. A roadmap that lists things nobody has decided on is a wish list, and this paper is not the place for one — what belongs here gets settled with the community first.
CHECK IT YOURSELF
Do not take this paper's word for any of it.
- Token on the Robinhood Chain explorer — supply, holders, transfers
- Verified contract source — the code this paper describes
- Live DINO / GOOGL pair — price, liquidity, volume
- The launch on the Pons launchpad — creator fee recipient, creator tax, graduation status
- The creator fee address — what comes in, and what it pays out
- Live figures on this site — pulled from the same public API
If a claim on this page and the chain ever disagree, the chain is right and this page is out of date. Tell us in Telegram and it gets corrected.
RISKS
$DINO is a highly speculative meme token. Realistic ways to lose money here:
- Price. It can fall to effectively zero and stay there.
- Liquidity. The pool is small. A large sell moves the price sharply, and you may not be able to exit at the quoted price.
- Concentration. A bonding-curve launch does not prevent large early positions. Check the holder list.
- The pair itself. $GOOGL is a tokenised stock with its own issuer, custody and regulatory risk. That risk passes through to this pair.
- Fees you do not receive. As stated above, the creator share of trading fees goes to an address the community does not control.
- Attention. Meme tokens live on interest. Interest fades.
- Contracts. The token is simple, but it sits on launchpad, DEX and bridge contracts the takeover team did not write and cannot audit for you.
- Regulation. Rules for tokens and tokenised equities are unsettled and can change without notice.
Only commit money you are fully prepared to lose. Nobody involved in this project can make you whole if it goes to zero.

EXTINCTION WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
