Holding and trading.

Holding DIEC asks nothing unusual of you. Trading it asks exactly one thing: knowing that every trade pays 2%, and knowing where that 2% goes.

What you need

1. An Ethereum wallet. DIEC behaves like any standard token on Ethereum; anything that holds ETH and tokens will hold it.
2. The real contract. Before any trade, confirm the address published in this site's masthead and on the Readings page — the same characters, in the same order.
3. ETH for the network's own transaction cost, which Ethereum charges for every transaction on every token.

What a trade does

Diecast trades against ETH on Uniswap v4. When you buy, your ETH enters the Pool and DIEC leaves it for your wallet; when you sell, the reverse. Either way, the Trade Fee — 2% of the trade — is taken, and the transfer reads the struck face to divide it between retiring supply and deepening the Pool.

What settles is simple: your balance changes by the trade, the fee leaves with the transfer, and the two destinations absorb it. There is nothing to claim, nothing to stake, and nothing to sign beyond the trade itself.

What holding does

Holding does nothing and costs nothing. No fee touches a wallet that does not trade. Only your keys can shift your DIEC, the contract has no pause switch, and no action of yours is ever required to keep your DIEC yours.
