FAQ

Devin is a serial rugger locked in a cage. Every buy of $DEV throws something at him and takes tokens out of his bag. Quick sellers post his bail, the Cage keeps it, and the Cage takes his fees. He can't rug, because the liquidity is locked forever.

Pre-launch. $DEV is not live yet, and the game on the home page runs on simulated trades. Until launch, details can still change. The only real contract address will be posted on devinacage.com and @devinacage on X at launch. Ignore any other.

Basics

What is Dev in a Cage?

A meme token, $DEV, on Robinhood Chain, plus a game that runs on its trades. Devin is the dev who rugged everyone before. Here he can't rug, and the Cage takes his fees.

  • Buys throw things at him. Bigger buys throw bigger things.
  • His "bag" is the $DEV still in the pools, and every buy takes some of it.
  • His fees (trading fees, sell fees and snipers' tax) go to the Cage. It burns all the $DEV and HOOKR it collects and half of the ETH. The other half of the ETH goes to the development and rewards funds while they're on.
What is Hookr?

Hookr launches tokens on Uniswap v4 pools with "hooks": small programs inside the pool that run on every trade. Hookr offers ready-made ones (Hook Blocks) such as Auto Burn and Exit Clock. $DEV uses several of them, listed on the Tokenomics page. Dev in a Cage is not run by Hookr.

How do I buy?

At launch, on hookr.fun on Robinhood Chain, with ETH or HOOKR, in the Dev in a Cage $DEV/ETH or $DEV/HOOKR pool. Step by step, from setting up a wallet: How to buy. Nothing is for sale before launch.

The token

Short answers. The full numbers are on the Tokenomics page.

What is the supply? Are there team tokens?

1,000,000,000 $DEV, fixed. All of it goes into two locked pools. No team tokens, no presale, no airdrop allocation. The creator gets no tokens and no liquidity. More

What is "Devin's bag"?

The $DEV in the two pools, plus the part the Cage adds 5 minutes after launch. Every buy takes some out, and sells put some back. It's spread over six price ranges so later buyers still find supply: 70% is left at a $100K market cap, 45% at $1M and 1% at $1B. More

Is the liquidity locked? Can Devin rug?

Locked forever. The launch range sits in Hookr's forever lock, and the higher ranges belong to the Cage, which has no way to remove them. Nobody, including the creator, can pull any of it. More

What are the fees?

1% of every buy (0.8% burned), a 0.3% trading fee, and a sell fee of 3% that falls to 0 over 7 days of holding. The fees only apply on the two Dev in a Cage pools on Hookr. More

Does the creator get paid?

Yes, in one way, and we'd rather say it plainly. While the funds are on, 30% of the Cage's ETH income goes to a development wallet and 20% to a rewards wallet meant for users. The creator controls both wallets, and nothing onchain forces the rewards wallet to pay anyone. The other half of the ETH, and all HOOKR income, buys $DEV and burns it. The creator alone holds a switch that turns both funds off for good, and may never use it. More

What happens if the price falls?

Sells run the same curve backwards: the pools take $DEV back and pay out the ETH or HOOKR buyers put in, so Devin's bag grows again. Burned $DEV never comes back. Locked liquidity means you can always sell, but it doesn't stop the price falling. More

What happens at $1B?

Buyers have taken 99% of Devin's bag, and he's thrown out of the cage. A new dev goes in, whose bag is whatever sellers put back. That's an on-screen scene only. Trading keeps going past $1B. More

Only buys of $10 or more on the two Hookr pools throw something. Smaller buys still burn, and they show as a small line in the feed. Buys on other pools throw nothing. Each throw in the feed shows the next one up and what it costs.

Hits drain his COPE bar and can knock him out. Fast buys build combos, and a busy market starts FRENZY MODE.

What do sells do?

Each sell of $50 or more slips Devin a lockpick piece, every sell shows the bail the seller paid, and each $250+ buy takes a piece away. With 5 pieces he tries to escape, and a $250+ buy in the next 10 seconds stops him. If buyers burn less than 0.02% of the supply in 72 hours, he slips out and dances until the next buy drags him back. Escapes are only on screen: nothing leaves his bag.

What are the bag milestones and "Biggest buy today"?

Milestones play a scene when his bag falls below 85%, 70%, 45%, 28% and 15% left (about $23K, $100K, $1M, $10M and $100M). "Biggest buy today" shows the largest single buy since 00:00 UTC. It's a title only, with no prize. Both are on-screen features read from chain data.

Is the game showing real trades?

Not yet. The home page is a demo with simulated trades and made-up numbers. After launch it will read the real pools.

Signs and memes

Can I write one of Devin's signs?

Yes. When Devin gets out of the cage he dances with a sign. Write one on the Memes page, see it on his sign, and send it in. We read every suggestion and add the best ones to the game. Keep it short: 40 characters at most.

Can I use Devin in my own memes?

Yes, that's what the meme kit is for. Download the images, or add a caption on the page and save it.

Risks

What should I know before buying?
  • $DEV is a meme token with no intrinsic value. Most meme tokens go to zero. Only buy what you can lose.
  • Burns and fees don't make the price go up. They only change how supply moves.
  • Locked liquidity means nobody can pull it. It doesn't stop the price falling when people sell.
  • The pools run on Hookr's contracts and Uniswap v4. The Cage is our own contract and has no outside audit.
  • Nothing here is a promise of rewards, returns or future features. The development and rewards funds are spent at the creator's discretion.
  • This is not financial advice.
