The Cult

The Cult is a tokenized creator economy platform built on the high-performance Monad blockchain. It positions itself as the “ultimate playground” for communities (aptly termed cults) to launch and trade social tokens with real purpose beyond fleeting memes. By fusing community, culture, and memes, The Cult enables creators and their fan communities to monetize and engage in new ways. Its core value proposition lies in leveraging Monad’s speed and scalability to provide a seamless, low-cost tokenization experience while differentiating itself with built-in verification and fair launch mechanisms that foster trust and transparency.

Overview

Features

• Token Creation: Communities can create their own social tokens with custom names, symbols, descriptions, and images.
• Token Purchase: Users can purchase social tokens.
• Liquidity Pools: Automatically create and manage liquidity pools on DEX for social tokens.
• Funding Goals: Each social token has a funding goal that, once reached, triggers the creation of a liquidity pool.

Smart Contracts

The project includes the following smart contracts:

• Lock.sol: A contract that locks funds until a specified unlock time.
• Token.sol: An ERC20 token contract with minting functionality.
• TokenFactory.sol: A factory contract for creating and managing social tokens.
