Trenchor Litepaper
Onchain Trade & Tax Campaign Terminal for the Virtuals ecosystem, built on Base and Virtuals Protocol.
1📖 Introduction
Trenchor is an onchain data and campaign platform built on the Virtuals Protocol and the Base network. It analyzes trading activity and Unicorn Launch taxes for tokens in the Virtuals ecosystem and transforms these raw onchain events into transparent leaderboards, reward campaigns and actionable insights for both projects and users.
By focusing on trade volume and Unicorn Launch tax flows, Trenchor enables:
For Projects
Design and run onchain-native trading and tax campaigns
For Users
Compete, plan and be rewarded based on verifiable onchain behavior
2🔍 Background & Problem
The Virtuals ecosystem is growing quickly, with multiple tokens launching via the Unicorn model and leveraging high initial tax windows to manage volatility and speculation. However, there is currently no dedicated terminal that:
- Tracks user-level trade volume across configurable time windows.
- Breaks down Unicorn Launch taxes on a per-wallet basis for campaigns.
⚠️ This creates three main problems for projects and users:
1. Fragmented data
Onchain data is available but not structured for campaigns, leaderboards or user-specific analytics.
2. No standardized campaign framework
Each project must manually design and validate trade or tax competitions, which is error-prone and time-consuming.
3. Limited onchain mindshare tools
Most campaigns are still driven by social metrics (mentions, likes, reposts) rather than real onchain behavior.
3🎯 What is Trenchor?
Trenchor is a campaign and data layer for the Virtuals ecosystem. It analyzes onchain trading and launch tax flows for selected tokens and exposes them as:
- User-level leaderboards.
- Configurable reward campaigns for partner projects.
💎 The core pillars of Trenchor are:
Trade Volume Analytics
Real-time tracking of trading activity
Unicorn Launch Tax Analytics
Per-wallet tax breakdown for campaigns
Campaign & Reward Engine
Automated reward distribution system
Trencshare Platform
Future: Onchain mindshare hub
Trenchor Base refers to the live platform at www.trenchorbase.com, where users can explore live and historical leaderboards, projects can integrate their tokens and campaigns, and the ecosystem can monitor who is most active onchain.
4💼 Core Use Cases
4.1 Trade Volume Campaigns
Projects can launch Trade Volume Campaigns in partnership with Trenchor, using configurable time windows and thresholds.
How it works:
- The project selects the token, time or block range, volume thresholds and reward logic.
- Trenchor indexes trades, aggregates volume per wallet and generates a public leaderboard.
- Users track their rank on www.trenchorbase.com, adjust trading behavior to climb the leaderboard and claim rewards if they meet the campaign rules.
4.2 Unicorn Launch Tax Campaigns
For Unicorn Launch projects, Trenchor converts the first 98-minute high-tax window into a campaign surface.
How it works:
- At launch, Trenchor tracks all relevant trades and taxes paid per wallet during the 98-minute high-tax phase.
- The project configures reward logic, for example: top wallets by total tax paid or all wallets who paid at least a certain amount of tax.
- Trenchor provides tax leaderboards and exportable lists of eligible wallets for rewards.
4.3 Future: Trencshare Mindshare
Long-term, Trenchor aims to evolve into Trencshare – a platform where onchain metrics (volume, taxes, participation) become the primary signal for reputation, campaign access and ecosystem incentives across Virtuals.
5💎 Trenchor Token: $TRB
$TRB is the native utility and incentives token of the Trenchor ecosystem. It powers project integrations, user access and long-term growth.
✨ Key utility dimensions:
Project payments & collaborations
Projects pay Trenchor fees primarily in $TRB when launching campaigns. If payment is made in USDC, funds go to the treasury for $TRB buybacks, burns and incentives.
User access & gating
Holding a minimum amount of $TRB may be required to view full leaderboards, access the Tax Terminal and unlock advanced analytics. Individual campaigns can define additional holding thresholds for reward eligibility.
Treasury, burns & incentives
$TRB paid by projects is held in the treasury and used for controlled burn events, incentivized campaigns and long-term ecosystem growth.
Ecosystem alignment
$TRB aligns incentives between projects seeking onchain activations, users contributing volume and taxes, and Trenchor as the underlying infrastructure layer.
