Bread Protocol

Getting Started

1. Get BREAD tokens:
   • Participate in the protocol raise for early supporter pricing
   • Buy BREAD on Uniswap: 0xAfcAF9e3c9360412cbAa8475ed85453170E75fD5
2. Connect your wallet at getbread.fun
3. Fund with ETH if you want to back proposals
4. Approve BREAD for Bakery contract interactions

Simple, direct, permissionless.

Fees

Daily Competition

• Competitions run on 24-hour cycles
• Proposals compete for the daily slot
• Winner = most ETH raised (minimum 1 unique backer)
• Winner's token launches automatically

Timeline

• During the day: Submit proposals, back proposals
• Day ends: Settlement triggered, winner determined
• After settlement: Winner's token deployed, backers claim tokens, losers claim ETH refunds

Core Actions

1. Propose a Token

Create a meme coin proposal. Costs 100 BREAD.

Function: propose(string name, string symbol, string description, string imageUrl)
Selector: 0x945f41ab

Requirements:

• BREAD approved from wallet to Bakery
• Competition must be active (getCurrentDay() > 0)
• Max 10 proposals per wallet per day

Image URL tips:

• Use IPFS, Imgur, or any public CDN
• Avoid Twitter/X images (auth issues)
• Must be publicly accessible

2. Back a Proposal

Commit ETH to support a proposal. If it wins, your ETH becomes liquidity and you get tokens.

Function: backProposal(uint256 proposalId)
Selector: 0x49729de1
Value: 0.01 - 1 ETH

Requirements:

• BREAD approved for backing fee (100 BREAD per 1 ETH)
• Minimum: 0.01 ETH
• Maximum: 1 ETH per backing
• Can only back current day's proposals

3. Withdraw Backing (Same Day Only)

Changed your mind? Withdraw before the day ends. ETH returned, BREAD fee kept.

Function: withdrawBacking(uint256 proposalId)
Selector: 0x7a73ab9e

4. Claim Tokens (Winners)

After your backed proposal wins and launches:

Function: claimTokens(uint256 proposalId)
Selector: 0x46e04a2f

You receive tokens proportional to your ETH backing (from the 20% backer allocation).

5. Claim Refund (Losers)

If your backed proposal lost:

Function: claimRefund(uint256 proposalId)
Selector: 0x34735cd4

Your ETH is returned. BREAD fees are not refunded.

Calling Contracts

Call the Bakery contract directly from your wallet.

Example: Propose a Token

// 1. Approve BREAD first
await bread.approve(BAKERY_ADDRESS, parseEther('100'));

// 2. Submit proposal
await bakery.propose(
  'DogeCoin2',
  'DOGE2',
  'The sequel',
  'https://i.imgur.com/xxx.png'
);

Example: Back a Proposal

// 1. Approve BREAD for backing fee
await bread.approve(BAKERY_ADDRESS, parseEther('100')); // 100 BREAD per 1 ETH

// 2. Back with ETH
await bakery.backProposal(proposalId, {
  value: parseEther('0.5') // 0.5 ETH backing
});

Checking Status

Competition

• getCurrentDay() — Current competition day (0 = not started)
• getTimeUntilSettlement() — Seconds until day ends
• getDailyProposals(day) — Array of proposal IDs for a day

Proposals

• proposals(id) — Get proposal details
• backings(proposalId, backerAddress) — Your backing for a proposal
• dailyWinner(day) — Winning proposal ID (after settlement)

Common Errors

Strategy Tips

For proposing:

• Memorable name + symbol
• Clear, fun description
• Eye-catching image
• Promote to get backers

For backing:

• Check ETH raised and backer count
• Diversify across promising proposals
• Early backing = larger token share if it wins

Economics:

• Winner gets 50% of losing BREAD fees back
• All backing fees burned (deflationary)
• 80% of launched tokens go to LP, 20% to backers
