Mechanism

How the rewards work

The token launches in StonkFun's reward mode: a Token-2022 transfer fee that is automatically swept and distributed to holders in the pool's quote asset.

01

A transfer happens

Every buy, sell or wallet-to-wallet transfer of $BONNET carries a 1% fee at the token level. It cannot be bypassed by routing through a different DEX.

02

Fees are converted

Collected fees are sold into the pool for the quote asset — the OPENAI PreStock — rather than being held as $BONNET.

03

Holders are paid

The quote asset is distributed pro-rata to every holder's wallet. No claiming, no staking, no lock-up: your balance is your position.

Distribution frequency and thresholds are set by the StonkFun protocol. Rewards scale with trading volume and can be zero in quiet periods.

Thesis

Why pair with OpenAI

Exposure most people can't get

OpenAI is private. The PreStock is a tokenized claim on that pre-IPO valuation, and it is the asset every $BONNET reward is paid in. Holding the token is a way to accumulate that exposure from trading activity instead of buying it outright.

Rewards that don't dilute

Most reward tokens pay you in more of themselves, which is just inflation. Here the payout is a separate asset with its own market — the reward is real whether or not the token price moves.

The name is OpenAI's, on the record

On 21 August 2026 OpenAI OpCo, LLC filed five trademark applications in the same class — microprocessors, semiconductors, integrated circuits — on the same day: JALAPENO, CAYENNE, SERRANO, HABANERO and SCOTCH BONNET. Jalapeño is the mildest of the five and shipped first. Scotch Bonnet is the top of that list. Serial numbers and links are in the Evidence section.

A structure that has already worked

JALAPEÑO — same reward mode, same OpenAI pair — reached a peak market cap of ≈$411k per StonkFun's own market record. Scotch Bonnet was untokenized when this site went up: the original token on the name.

Fixed, transparent, immutable

1B supply, no mint authority, liquidity permanently locked at launch, metadata on Arweave, and a reward mechanism enforced by the token program rather than a team wallet.

3 · The heat order

Commonly cited Scoville ranges: jalapeño ≈2,500–8,000 · serrano ≈10,000–23,000 · cayenne ≈30,000–50,000 · habanero ≈100,000–350,000 · scotch bonnet ≈100,000–350,000. Jalapeño — the mildest of the five — is the one that shipped first. That the rest follow in heat order is an inference, not an OpenAI statement; habanero and scotch bonnet share the top band.

FAQ

Questions

Do I need to claim rewards?

No. Distributions are sent to holder wallets by the protocol. You will see the quote asset appear in your wallet over time.

Is the reward paid in $BONNET?

No — it is paid in the quote asset, the OpenAI PreStock. That is the point of the structure: rewards are a separate asset, not inflation of the token you hold.

Can the fee be changed or turned off?

The transfer fee is a Token-2022 extension configured at creation under StonkFun's reward mode. There is no team wallet with authority over it.

What is a PreStock?

A tokenized representation of a private company's pre-IPO valuation, listed as a quote asset on StonkFun. It is not equity in OpenAI and confers no shareholder rights.

Is this affiliated with OpenAI?

No. Scotch Bonnet is an independent community token. OpenAI is referenced only as the quote asset the token is paired with.
