Press The Button Whitepaper
A meme token on Base with a Uniswap v4 trading mechanic. One number runs everything: Pressure.
Overview
Press The Button is a meme token built on Base with a Uniswap v4 trading mechanic.
Every qualifying trade changes the global Pressure Level. Buyers increase the pressure, sellers release it, and when the level reaches 100, the button explodes and a new round begins.

Pressure Level
Pressure is a global value between 0 and 100.
A qualifying trade must contain at least 100 PRESS:
- Qualifying buy — Pressure +5
- Qualifying sell — Pressure −8
Pressure can never move below 0 or above 100. Smaller trades still execute normally and pay the current trading fee, but they do not change Pressure.
Dynamic Fees
Trading fees change according to the current Pressure Level.
| Pressure | State | Buy fee | Sell fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–24 | Calm Button | 1% | 7% |
| 25–49 | Getting Warm | 2% | 5% |
| 50–74 | Do Not Press | 3% | 3% |
| 75–99 | Critical Pressure | 4% | 2% |
| 100 | Button Exploded | 1% | 1% |
As pressure rises, buying becomes more expensive while selling becomes cheaper.
Button Explosion
When a qualifying buy pushes Pressure to 100:
- The current round ends.
- The final qualifying buyer becomes the Button Presser.
- The reward pool is distributed.
- Pressure resets to 20.
- A new round begins.
The contract records every completed round and its winning Button Presser.
Last Presser
The Last Presser is the wallet responsible for the most recent qualifying buy.
This status changes whenever another wallet completes a qualifying purchase. The Last Presser becomes the Button Presser only if their purchase causes Pressure to reach 100.
Rewards
Trading fees are collected in WETH and assigned as follows:
- 75% to holder rewards
- 25% to the Button Presser when a round ends
Holder rewards are calculated through contract accounting and can be claimed without selling PRESS.
The Button Presser reward is assigned to the winning wallet and can be claimed separately.
