Sell pressure thermodynamics

Cryo

Every dump becomes a drip.

Any sell big enough to move the chart gets flash frozen, then released in equal slices over hours. You can always leave. You just can't land on everyone at once.

Readouts on this page are a simulation of the mechanism, running on an accelerated clock so a 24 hour window fits on a screen. No live pool is connected yet.

Sells check in.
They leave one slice at a time.

Nothing here stops anybody selling. The freezer only decides how fast the sell arrives, and it always finishes inside 72 hours.

01 How it works

Three steps. One flat exit.

None of them need a human, an approval, or a claim transaction.

Flash point
Step 01Trigger

Flash point

A sell crosses 0.5 percent of pool liquidity and stops dead. Anything smaller routes straight through and never meets the freezer.

Threshold
0.50 % pool
Ice block
Step 02Custody

Ice block

The tokens move into an escrow position the seller still owns. Two percent comes off as the freeze fee. Nothing else is taken.

Thaw curve
Step 03Release

Thaw curve

It releases in identical slices, one per chain block, until the window closes. Nobody has to claim anything for it to happen.

Slice
1 per block
02 The law

The whole protocol is one division.

Everything else on this page is a consequence of it.

Release rate

q = Q / NN = w(T) · B

q
The slice. Identical every block, from the first to the last.
Q
The frozen amount, after the 2 % freeze fee comes off.
N
The number of blocks in the window. Fixed the moment the freeze lands.
w
The thaw window in hours — 6, 12, 24, 48 or 72, chosen by pool temperature T.
B
Blocks per hour on Robinhood Chain. A property of the chain, not of Cryo.

Worked example

A one percent sell, in the frozen band.

No curve fitting, no decay constant, no discretion. One number divided by another number, and the answer does not move again.

04 The thaw curve

One block of pain, or three days of nothing.

Same sell, same size, same seller. Only the shape of the arrival changes.

Every rectangle encloses the same area — the same tokens reach the market either way. Cryo only sets the width. Slices release per chain block; the hourly view exists to make the shapes comparable.
05 Sublimation

Burning beats waiting.

Solid straight to gas, past liquid entirely. A frozen block can be burned instead of thawed. The tokens never reach the pool, the seller takes 6 percent against a rebate that maxes out at 4, and it settles immediately instead of over two days.

The arithmetic does the persuading. Anyone who does not need the liquidity today is taking a worse deal by waiting, so the supply that leaves is the supply that was never in a hurry. It leaves permanently.

06 Pool temperature

The colder it gets, the slower things thaw.

Temperature reads net sell pressure across a rolling hour, not single trades. Splitting one big sell into twenty small ones drives the temperature down and drags the next freeze into a longer window.

You can't dump
what's frozen.

And you can't be frozen for being you. A freeze is triggered by the size of a trade against the pool, and by nothing else.

07 Never frozen

The list of things Cryo will not touch.

Exempt 01

Every buy

No buy is ever frozen. Not at any size, not at any temperature.

Exempt 02

Sells under the flash point

Ordinary size sells settle in one block like any other swap.

Exempt 03

Liquidity adds and removes

LP operations sit outside the freezer entirely.

Exempt 04

Any particular wallet

There is no freeze list and no admin key that can freeze an address. Size against the pool triggers a freeze. Nothing else does.

08 Parameters

Every number, in one place.

ParameterValueApplies to

Freeze fee2.00 %of the frozen amount, into the latent heat buffer

Sublimation bonus6.00 %paid on burn, supply permanently removed

The freeze fee funds the latent heat buffer, and the buffer pays the frost rebate. A seller who waits out the window recovers more than the fee cost them.

09 Settlement

Cryo settles on Robinhood Chain.

A USDG-native Arbitrum Orbit L2, chain id 4663, fully EVM equivalent. Freezes, slices and burns are ordinary transactions on it — there is no sidecar, no relayer and no off-chain queue.

Every slice is a transfer in a block, readable on the explorer like any other.
Escrow is held in a position the seller still owns — Cryo never takes title.
No claim transaction: the release happens whether or not anyone is watching.
