🐀 The Rat Paper

A Tribute to the Chuck E. Cheese token.

📜 Abstract

Rathead ($RATHEAD) is a memecoin fueled by the ceremonial deposit of real Chuck E. Cheese tokens into a 5-gallon glass jug. It is a tribute to perhaps the greatest monetary system ever devised: the Chuck E. Cheese token.

While others build speculative coins backed by promises and roadmaps, Rathead is backed by something far more powerful: nostalgia and pictures of a jug filled with Chuck E. Cheese tokens.

This is a system where you send me real life tokens and get back silly internet tokens.

🧠 Introduction

Before Satoshi and Bitcoin. Before smart contracts. Before FTX blew up...

There was Chuck E. Cheese, the gold standard of childhood economics. Kids everywhere agreed Chuck E. Cheese tokens were much more valuable than dollars and quarters.

  • Tokens were scarce (until your parents gave in)
  • Prices were clear (1 game play = 1 token)
  • The use case was obvious (skee-ball, whack-a-mole, that game where you hit a button to stop the light but were always off by one notch...)

While the use of tokens may no longer be widespread, Chuck E. Cheese continues to deliver on their legacy. They've renovated locations across the US, added Adventure Zones with trampolines, and remain one of the best value options for family entertainment.

🪙 Tokenomics

  • Ticker: $RATHEAD
  • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000
  • Minting: Complete
  • Burning: Not necessary. Every Rathead holds its own weight in satire.
  • Ownership: You own your Ratheads. You do not own any part of the jug or the tokens within it.

🫙 The Jug

At the heart of this system lies a transparent (literally), 5-gallon glass jug. This jug stores actual Chuck E. Cheese tokens that were either contributed by The Jug Keeper or mailed in from true believers.

  • Visible but not redeemable
  • Finite, just like all great reserve systems
  • Maintained entirely at The Jug Keeper's whim, until the jug is full, broken, confiscated, or ignored forever

It is not an investment. It is a monument. You may even call it art.

🧾 Issuance Model

🔁 "Send Real Tokens. Get Silly Internet Tokens."- The Jug Keeper's greatest idea yet

Participants mail physical Chuck E. Cheese tokens to The Jug Keeper. In return, they receive the ERC-20 token Rathead ($RATHEAD), distributed according to a reward curve that favors early participants.

📐 The Formula

$$ \text{\$RATHEAD} = 1{,}000{,}000{,}000 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{\min(T + d, 100{,}000)}{100{,}000}} - 1{,}000{,}000{,}000 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{\min(T, 100{,}000)}{100{,}000}} $$
Where T = the number of tokens in The Jug and d = the new tokens being deposited into the jug.
Key features:
  • Early contributors receive more $RATHEAD per token (classic crypto FOMO)
  • Caps the amount of $RATHEAD issued at 1,000,000,000 (100% of the minted supply)
  • Equates to at most 100,000 tokens in The Jug (may require more than one jug)

📊 Example Payout Schedule

Tokens in Jug (T) New Tokens (d) $RATHEAD Issued $RATHEAD / Token
0 1,000 100,000,000 100,000
5,000 1,000 21,342,177 21,342
10,000 1,000 15,434,713 15,435
25,000 1,000 9,901,951 9,902
50,000 1,000 7,036,062 7,036
75,000 1,000 5,754,385 5,754

💧 Liquidity & Launch

Liquidity for $RATHEAD was seeded by The Jug Keeper with the spare change the jug previously held.

$RATHEAD is live and tradable on Aerodrome (Base) in a pool paired with USDC.

🎩 Economics as Homage

Where other memecoins try to overthrow the system, $RATHEADHEAD celebrates it. This project exists as a reverent, exaggerated tribute to the mechanics that made childhood magical and monetary.

Chuck E. Cheese didn't need yield farming. He didn't promise governance. He just gave you tokens... and let you spend them until your pizza got cold.

🧀 Conclusion

Rathead is not a moonshot. It's a token monument to the shuttered monetary system of Chuck E. Cheese.

Chuck E. Cheese is still going strong. Their restaurants are cleaner. Their attractions are bigger. Their trampolines are bouncier. And their economic system? Digital... but we must never forget.

This project exists not to disrupt, but to document the legacy in the only way we know how:

Send real tokens. Get silly internet tokens. Fill The Jug.

Long live nostalgia.
Long live physical tokens.
Long live Chuck E. Cheese.
