A little ether.
It wandered off.
Ether on Ethereum is gas: burned, never held. One bit of it slipped down to Robinhood Chain, found a nest, and hatched. That is an Etherling. You can hold this one.
Posted here when it hatches
The nest
Read from the Nest contract, block by block.
The leash
Fetch with ETH. Let go for ETH.
One egg, one hatching.
The Hatch births the token, opens a Uniswap v4 pool of ETH against it and settles the brood into the nest in a single transaction. Then it is spent: the second call reverts, forever.
What goes in, stays in.
The nest owns the pool position, and there is no function in it that shrinks one. Every ETH anyone ever pays to fetch an Etherling becomes liquidity that nobody — not the den, not the deployer — can take back out.
Trades feed it.
Each trade leaves a fee in the nest. Anyone can call feed(); the nest pays it to the den, an address fixed before the token existed, and writes the feeding into its own ledger.
Feedings
Every payout the nest has made, in the nest's own ledger.
Pedigree
Four contracts, source published, nothing upgradeable. Read them rather than take our word.
