Protocol Plan
Complete architecture of the IFR Protocol — how every wallet, contract, and mechanism works together. Written for transparency: every decision, every trade-off, every scenario documented.
1. What is IFR?
Inferno ($IFR) is a deflationary ERC-20 token on Ethereum Mainnet.
Every transfer automatically burns 2.5% of the amount — permanently.
An additional 1% goes to the protocol fee pool.
There is no mint() function. Supply can only decrease, never increase.
The Lock Mechanism
IFR serves as a universal access token. Users lock IFR in the IFRLock contract to gain lifetime premium access to any product that integrates the lock check. No subscription. No renewal. While tokens are locked, the holder gets access. Unlocking is always possible — no penalty, no forced lock period.
2. All Wallets & Contracts
Every IFR token can be traced on-chain. Here is where every token lives, who controls it, and what it is for.
0x5D93E7919a71d725054e31017eCA86B026F86C04
Holds 400.6M IFR (40%) reserved for Uniswap V2 liquidity. Gnosis Safe 3-of-5 multisig (same 5 signers as Treasury and Community Safes). Transferred from Deployer EOA on 18.03.2026. Tokens will be paired on Uniswap via phased LP releases (see Section 4).
0x5ad6193eD6E1e31ed10977E73e3B609AcBfEcE3b
Protocol treasury controlled by Gnosis Safe multisig (3-of-5 active). Originally held 150M IFR — 144.75M transferred to Bootstrap Vault (Plan B). Current balance: 0 IFR. Refills via protocol fees (Phase 3).
0xaC5687547B2B21d80F8fd345B51e608d476667C7
Community operations wallet. Originally 60M IFR (57.9M received after 2.1M burned on transfer — Community EOA was not fee-exempt at migration time). 50M contributed to Bootstrap Plan B. ~7.9M permanent reserve for bug bounties, grants, ecosystem incentives, DAO seed funding.
0xf72565C4cDB9575c9D3aEE6B9AE3fDBd7F56e141
Holds ~200M IFR for the Bootstrap Event. When contributors send ETH, this contract holds it.
After the event closes (June 5, 2026), anyone calls finalise() to create the Uniswap V2 LP.
Fully trustless — no admin can touch the funds. If not finalized, contributors reclaim ETH after 30-day grace period.
IFR in this vault cannot be withdrawn by anyone.
0xdc0309804803b3A105154f6073061E3185018f64
200M IFR (20%) time-locked until 01.09.2026. Smart contract — no one can access before unlock, not even the team. After unlock, Governance Proposal required to deploy as additional Uniswap liquidity.
0x2694Bc84e8D5251E9E4Ecd4B2Ae3f866d6106271
Smart contract holding 150M IFR (15%). 12-month cliff (zero tokens released before March 2027), then linear release over 36 months until March 2030. Tokens are locked in this contract — not accessible until the cliff ends.
Beneficiary (who receives tokens after cliff):
0x04FABC52c51d1F8ced6974E7C25a34249b1E6239 —
held by the Core Developer as trustee on behalf of the entire team.
The 150M IFR represents the collective team allocation. Usage decisions
(reinvestment, compensation, or other purposes) are made collectively.
All claims publicly announced via official governance channels.
Currently: 0 IFR (cliff not reached).
Planned (Option B, after March 2027): New multisig vesting contract with Gnosis Safe as beneficiary — placing the team allocation under shared 3-of-5 control. Migration executed transparently.
0xc6eb7714bCb035ebc2D4d9ba7B3762ef7B9d4F7D
40M IFR (4%) for Builder and Creator Rewards. When a user locks IFR for a builder’s product, the builder earns from this pool. Rewards vest 6–12 months. Annual cap: 4M IFR/year.
0x670D...F812 | 0xaA14...6fCF
Both accumulate from the 1% protocol pool fee. Zero IFR at genesis — fill over time.
BuybackVault feeds the BuybackController (Phase 3) for PartnerVault auto-refill.
BurnReserve permanently destroys IFR via burn().
0xc43d48E7FDA576C5022d0670B652A622E8caD041
All protocol parameter changes go through this contract with a mandatory 48-hour Timelock. No change can take effect instantly. Owner of InfernoToken. 7 proposals executed so far.
3. The Bootstrap Event
The Bootstrap Event is how IFR gets its initial Uniswap liquidity. Instead of the team funding the LP themselves (Plan A — centralized financial risk), the community contributes ETH and receives IFR pro-rata. 100% of ETH goes into the Uniswap liquidity pool. No team ETH is taken.
How It Works
- Contribute 0.01–2 ETH while Bootstrap is active (until June 5, 2026)
- After June 5, anyone calls
finalise()on the smart contract finalise()creates the Uniswap V2 IFR/ETH pool with all raised ETH + ~150M IFR- LP tokens are locked via Team.Finance for 12 months
- Contributors claim their IFR proportional to their ETH contribution
What If Bootstrap Fails?
If zero ETH is contributed by June 5, the IFR in the vault remains locked permanently (no admin withdrawal function). The team would use the 400M LP Reserve Safe IFR + team ETH to create an initial liquidity pool directly via Governance. See Contingency Plan below.
- ETH contributed by community
- finalise() creates LP automatically
- LP tokens locked 12 months
- Contributors claim IFR pro-rata
- IFR tradeable on Uniswap
- Zero ETH contributed
- 200M IFR stays locked in vault
- Team creates LP with LP Reserve Safe IFR
- Governance Proposal + 48h Timelock
- IFR tradeable via direct pairing
4. Liquidity Phases
The 400M IFR LP Reserve allocation is not all added to Uniswap at once. Flooding the pool immediately would depress the price and create poor trading conditions. Instead, it is released in 3 phases as trading volume grows.
5. The Buyback Mechanism
The “buyback” in IFR is an ecosystem buyback: the protocol automatically reinvests accumulated fee IFR back into the builder ecosystem via the PartnerVault. It is not a market buyback with ETH.
BuybackController (Phase 3)
In Phase 3, a BuybackController smart contract will automate BuybackVault distribution. Parameters will be set based on real accumulation data:
6. Governance
All protocol parameter changes go through the Governance contract with a mandatory 48-hour Timelock. No change can take effect instantly, giving the community time to review. The Guardian (Deployer EOA) can cancel proposals during the timelock window. The Governance Owner is TreasurySafe 3-of-5 (since 20.03.2026).

7. Contingency Plan
If the Bootstrap receives zero ETH by June 5, the protocol has a clear fallback. No IFR is lost — the 400M LP Reserve Safe allocation remains available as emergency liquidity.
8. Token Distribution
| March 2026 | Bootstrap opens — 200M IFR in vault | ✅ LIVE |
| June 2026 | Bootstrap closes — LP created via finalise() | Pending |
| Sep 2026 | LiquidityReserve unlock — 200M IFR available | Locked |
| March 2027 | Team Vesting cliff ends — linear release begins | Locked |
| March 2030 | Team Vesting fully vested | Locked |
