1. Mission & Introduction
American Coin Works is a veteran-owned company dedicated to honoring America’s heroes through patriotic products, digital projects, and community engagement. We create commemorative apparel, drinkware, and digital initiatives that celebrate American values, service, freedom, and the spirit that unites our nation.
HERO250 — “250 Years of Heroes” — is our first digital project. It stands as a tribute to 250 years of American courage, sacrifice, and service. From the Revolutionary War to the present day, the token honors the military heroes who built and defended the nation, and the broader community of veterans, first responders, and everyday Americans whose quiet dedication strengthens the country.
Our mission is straightforward: build a respectful, long-term community that celebrates service and puts real action behind the words. Supporting those who served is a value shared across backgrounds and beliefs. Care for wounded warriors and respect for military sacrifice are not partisan issues — they are American ones. HERO250 exists to give people from every walk of life a simple way to take part in that shared responsibility.
This whitepaper outlines a transparent path forward: a fixed total supply already live on Moonshot, a measured burn program that gradually reduces circulating supply, dedicated public wallets for burns and donations, and a concrete plan to support the Wounded Warrior Project — one of the leading organizations serving injured veterans and their families.
2. Token Overview
| Parameter | Detail |
| Token Name | 250 Years of Heroes (HERO250) |
| Ticker | HERO250 |
| Blockchain | Solana |
| Contract Address | 44ZKtavjCVcb3iSaeo8RzyLBTJQyP6z2rT9eiZDSmoon |
| Total Supply | 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) — Fixed |
| Decimals | 6 (typical for Moonshot) |
| Launch Platform | Moonshot (DEX Screener) |
| Launch Type | Fair launch via bonding curve |
2.1 How Tokens Become Available (Moonshot Explained)
HERO250 was launched on Moonshot, a Solana meme-coin launchpad. Moonshot uses a bonding-curve model: Fixed supply of 1 billion tokens is created at launch. Buyers purchase tokens directly from the curve. Price starts low and rises as more tokens are bought. When approximately 80% of the supply has been sold (or the market cap reaches the graduation threshold), the token “graduates.” At graduation, remaining tokens and collected SOL are used to create a liquidity pool on Raydium or Meteora. A portion of unsold tokens is usually burned automatically by the platform, and liquidity is locked. After graduation the token trades freely on decentralized exchanges.
3. Tokenomics & Burn Plan
Because the token is already live with a fixed 1 billion supply, the maximum supply cannot be changed. What can be added is a transparent, community-visible burn program that permanently removes tokens from circulation.
3.1 Creator Token Lock
The project creator has locked a significant portion of his personal holdings to demonstrate long-term commitment.
| Detail | Value |
| Amount Locked | 73,000,000 HERO250 |
| Unlock Date | November 1, 2026, 12:00 AM GMT-5 |
| Status | Fully locked (0% unlocked) until cliff date |
| Nature of Lock | Immutable — cannot be canceled or transferred |
| Lock Contract ID | FjL98GE4B9fUD2CjQLSdVidSiPH4JnDNB97C6EZxUhnD |
This removes a large block of tokens from circulating supply until November 1, 2026. Additional locks are expected in the near future.
3.2 Burn Target & Structure
The project targets the permanent removal of 10–15% of total supply (100–150 million HERO250) over a 24–36 month period.
| Burn Type | Amount / Trigger | Purpose |
| Graduation Burn (Platform) | Automatic portion burned by Moonshot | Built-in deflation at listing |
| Milestone Community Burns | 5–10 million HERO250 at each major goal | Celebrate progress & reduce supply |
| Quarterly Burns | 2–5 million HERO250 per quarter | Steady, predictable deflation |
| Buy-Back & Burn (Optional) | Portion of future merch/partnership revenue | Link real-world activity to token |
| Long-Term Target | 10–15% of total supply over 24–36 months | Meaningful yet sustainable deflation |
4. Burn Wallet & Donation Wallet Setup
4.1 Burn Wallet
A dedicated burn wallet has been created and is now live.

All future burns will also be sent to the same burn wallet and announced with full transaction links for community verification.
4.2 Donation Wallet
A separate public wallet will be created for funds intended for charitable donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. The donation wallet address will be published in the same transparent manner once it is ready. Keeping the burn wallet and donation wallet completely separate ensures clarity: burns permanently reduce supply; donation funds are used for real-world impact.
5. Donation Plan — Wounded Warrior Project
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free programs and services to injured veterans, service members, and their families. WWP already accepts cryptocurrency donations (via BitPay). This makes it a natural and verifiable partner for a veteran-owned project focused on honoring service.
Supporting wounded warriors is something people of every background and belief can stand behind. The goal of HERO250 is not to advance any political agenda, but to create a practical, transparent channel for anyone who wants to turn respect for military service into tangible help.
Proposed Giving Framework:
• Primary Goal: Accumulate and donate the equivalent of at least $5,000–$10,000 USD in the first 12 months after graduation (or earlier if growth allows).
• Source of Funds: Voluntary community contributions, a small percentage of any future merch or partnership revenue, and optional milestone allocations.
• Transparency Rule: Every donation to WWP must be accompanied by a public post containing the Solana transaction hash (or BitPay receipt) and a link to the WWP confirmation.
• Frequency: Quarterly donations once the Donation Wallet reaches a minimum threshold.
• Stretch Goals: If the project reaches higher market-cap milestones, increase the annual donation target accordingly.
6. Roadmap & Milestone Goals
These goals are deliberately realistic for an early-stage Moonshot token. Success is measured by community growth, transparency, and real donations — not solely by price.
| Phase | Target | Actions |
| Phase 0 (Current) | Bonding curve → Graduation | Grow holders, publish this whitepaper, announce live Burn Wallet and first burn, prepare Donation Wallet |
| Phase 1 (0–3 months post-grad) | First community burn + first WWP donation | Execute additional milestone burns; convert and donate first verified gift to WWP; improve visibility |
| Phase 2 (3–12 months) | Steady growth & quarterly cadence | Quarterly burns + quarterly donations; expand merch; grow community; explore veteran partnerships |
| Phase 3 (12–36 months) | 10–15% supply reduction + sustained impact | Continue transparent burns; maintain and grow verified donations to WWP; strengthen community |
| Long-term | Sustainable patriotic community | Keep burns and giving as standing practices; remain focused on service and support for those who served |
