The community token at the heart of GRIOT.

$GRIOT is the fair-launch community token of the GRIOT ecosystem, on BNB Smart Chain. It stands behind Project GRIOT, shares 10% of every trade’s tax with holders of 100,000+ $GRIOT in BNB, burns another 10% on every trade, and is intended to reward the people who teach and contribute — that last part is planned, not built.

You never need $GRIOT, a wallet or an account to learn, to sit the assessment, or to hold a certificate. Everything about the token — its contract, rewards and on-chain facts — is on its own page at griots.io/token.

It launched on four.meme, a launchpad best known for memecoins, because that gave it a fair public launch with no presale. What it is being used to build is an education programme and an archive.

Judge it by what ships, not by where it launched.

The contract shares part of its trading tax with holders: 10% of every tax collected is paid out, in BNB, to eligible wallets. four.meme calls this a "dividend" in its interface.

It is not a dividend in the company sense. There is no company, no profit and no promise behind it — only a rule written into the contract. How much is paid depends entirely on how much trading happens, and it can be nothing at all.

Any wallet holding at least 100,000 $GRIOT. The contract counts eligible wallets itself.

In proportion to how many $GRIOT you hold. The contract tracks each eligible wallet's share as its balance, so a wallet holding twice as much receives twice as much of each payout.

BNB, sent to the same wallet that holds the $GRIOT.

Usually you do not have to do anything. According to four.meme, rewards are distributed automatically when you transfer tokens, and anything left unclaimed is sent to your wallet automatically every 24 hours.

You can also claim at any time yourself on the token's page at four.meme, under "View Tax Details". There is even a "Claim for Others" option that sends someone's unclaimed rewards straight to their own wallet.

Open the token's page on four.meme and choose "View Tax Details" — it shows your claimed and unclaimed amounts once your wallet is connected. The contract also exposes claimedFee and claimableFee for any address, readable on BscScan.

Only ever use four.meme and BscScan links you have typed or found yourself. Never connect a wallet to a "claim" site someone sent you.

No. Payouts come from trading tax, so they rise and fall with trading and can stop entirely. $GRIOT is a community token, not an investment, and holding it creates no expectation of profit, dividend or return.

That depends on where you live, and GRIOT cannot advise you. In many places crypto received is taxable. Check with your country's tax authority or a qualified adviser.

Yes. Buying carries a 1% tax and selling carries a 2% tax — separate rates, not a combined 3%. Of every tax collected, 10% is burned and 10% goes to eligible holders.

Burned tokens are sent to an address nobody controls, so they can never be spent again. Every trade burns a little through the tax.

Total supply still reads 1,000,000,000 because the burn works by sending tokens to that address rather than deleting them; what circulates is the supply minus the burned amount.

1,000,000,000 $GRIOT, fixed at launch. There is no minting, no vesting and no unlock schedule for any team, because there is no team allocation.

80% was sold on a public bonding curve on four.meme, open to anyone at the same price. The other 20% was paired with the BNB raised to create PancakeSwap trading liquidity. No presale, no private round, no team allocation.

No. 100% of the liquidity-pool tokens were burned, so nobody — not the project, not anyone — can withdraw the trading liquidity.

No. Ownership of the contract was renounced to the zero address, so no admin function can be called and the rules cannot be altered after the fact.

Yes. The wallet that created $GRIOT and several community members have locked their own tokens with PinkLock, a public third-party locker. Nobody can move a locked token before its date — including the person who locked it.

Every lock, with its amount and unlock date, is listed on this page and links to PinkLock’s own record of it.

A lock is not a burn. When a lock ends, those tokens return to their owner.

Yes. The wallet that created the token locked the large majority of what it holds, by choice, until June 2028. Nothing required it to.

You can check it on PinkLock’s own record for the lock, linked from the list on this page.

Holder lists count contracts, not just people. The PancakeSwap pool (the trading liquidity) and the PinkLock locker both appear near the top, and neither is a person who can sell at will.

Check any address on BscScan yourself before drawing conclusions — including ours.

It is published on griots.io, which is the only official source. Always copy it from there yourself and compare every character — scammers make addresses that match at the start and end.

$GRIOT trades on PancakeSwap on BNB Smart Chain, and through any BNB Chain exchange or aggregator that routes to that liquidity. This site does not sell tokens, connect wallets or recommend buying.

Yes, at coingecko.com/en/coins/griot.

No. Anyone offering paid "trending", fake engagement or guaranteed listings in GRIOT's name is not working with the project.

No. $GRIOT is a fair-launch community token. Holding it creates no expectation of profit, dividend or return, and nothing on this site is financial or legal advice.

Yes. Token prices can fall to zero, trades cannot be reversed, and mistakes like sending to the wrong address or network are usually permanent. Never put in money you need.
