Questions, answered.

What is The Paddock Society?

It's a membership community for motorsports, built on the $WEN token. Anyone who holds $WEN is a member — no signup, no fee, no email. Members check in at real races to earn "Laps" and rank up, and can send $WEN straight to the race teams they believe in. The whole point is to grow real racing: support flows to grassroots and pro teams, and to The GT Global Championship the Society backs.

What is $WEN?

$WEN is a memecoin — crypto's oldest joke, "wen lambo?", rebuilt as a utility token on Robinhood Chain that points at real-world racing. It's the membership key to the Society: holding it is your card. The contract address is 0xA80eb66b3E0CF66ccB46f8b8C9e7ff5803eEb820 on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663). Like all memecoins it is extremely high-risk, and most memecoins go to zero.

Is $WEN an investment?

No. $WEN is a memecoin and a membership key — not an investment, not a security, and not a promise of returns. Membership and perks are access and rewards, not income, yield, or any promise of value. The founder holds an allocation and leads the project; read everything through that lens, and never put in money you aren't entirely happy to lose. See the fine print.

Don't take our word for it — the founder's own buyer PSA: four reasons not to invest in $WEN.

What stops the founder from dumping his supply?

A time-lock you can check yourself. 250,302,526 $WEN — about 25% of total supply — is locked until 31 December 2026 and cannot be moved before then. The lock is public and independently verifiable: the PinkLock record. Be clear about what that does and doesn't mean: it constrains what the founder can sell — it is not a promise about price. $WEN is still a high-risk memecoin. (There is also footage of the founder being made to do this.)

How do I become a member?

Hold any amount of $WEN in a self-custody wallet, then connect your wallet on the home page and sign a free message to mint your member number. There's no gas and no transaction — the signature just proves you hold the wallet. Holding is the membership; the token is the card.

Is there a membership fee?

No fee and no subscription. Holding $WEN is the only requirement, and minting your member number is a free signature. You buy $WEN itself on the open market — in one swap from the home page, which deep-links to Uniswap.

What are Laps?

Laps are the Society's record of showing up — earned by checking in at real races across the season. They're not a token and not money: no cash value, non-transferable, and impossible to buy. Laps set your rank and your place on the leaderboard, and they collect all year, because dedication is the whole game.

How do I check in at a race and earn Laps?

Post a photo or clip from the race weekend on X, tagging @Wen_officialx with your member tag (the #TPS0000 shown on your pass). We verify the post and DM you that event's one-time code, which you redeem in the check-in box. One check-in per member per event, and you must hold $WEN to redeem. The full 2026 calendar lists every race weekend that pays.

What are the ranks?

Four, all earned by Laps: Member (hold $WEN and mint your number), Paddock (10+ Laps), Garage (50+), and Pit Wall (150+). Presence beats balance — you climb by showing up at the track, not by holding more tokens.

How do I send $WEN to a race team?

On a team's card — on the home page or the full grid — your own wallet signs one direct transfer to that team's verified wallet. The Society never touches the funds. Only ever send to a wallet listed on the grid or published by the team's own official account, and always check the address and amount on your wallet's own confirmation screen.

What is the Drop?

At season's end the Society may fund a pool of $WEN that the leaderboard claims — most dedicated, first served. There is no fixed exchange rate, ever; what a Lap claims depends on the season, the pool, and the board, all at the Society's discretion. It's a discretionary seasonal reward, not income, yield, or an investment return.

How do teams get on the grid, and how are they verified?

A team emails [email protected] with its name, logo, and wallet address. Every LIVE wallet passes two proofs before it's listed: a cryptographic signature proving control of the wallet, and confirmation through the team's own official channel proving identity. Support sent to a team is a gift from fans, not a contract — teams owe nothing but good racing.

Can I get my $WEN back after I back a team?

No. Backing is an on-chain transfer straight from your wallet to the team's — the Society never holds, escrows, or routes it, and nobody can reverse it: not the team, not the Society, not us. Always confirm the address and the amount on your own wallet's screen before you sign. Support is a gift, not a purchase and not an investment.

What do the season fund goals and receipts mean?

Goals on team pages and across the grid are rallying targets the paddock fills together — not commitments, quotas, or fundraising promises. Nobody is obliged to reach one, reaching one entitles nobody to anything, and missing one means nothing. Some teams also publish receipts showing what backing paid for; those are the team's own words, shared voluntarily — not audited or verified by the Society. A team that publishes nothing has done nothing wrong.

What's public about me?

Your member number, display name, lap total, check-in activity, and how much $WEN you've sent to teams appear on public boards — the leaderboard, the top-backers boards, and the activity feed. Your wallet address never does. Your display name is yours to choose, so pick one you're happy to see in public.

Is it safe? Can the app take my crypto?

No — the Society holds none of your funds and cannot move them. Every action goes through your own wallet's confirmation screen, and the app never asks for a token approval or allowance. We will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys — nobody legitimate ever will. Before launch the platform passed a five-part code review and a 33-check live penetration test; no way to drain funds, take over an account, or forge membership was found. Details are in the disclosure.

Is The Paddock Society affiliated with NASCAR, F1, IMSA, or Robinhood?

No. The Society is an independent fan community with no affiliation to, or endorsement from, any sanctioning body, series, or venue named on the site — and no affiliation with Robinhood Markets. "Robinhood Chain" simply names the public network $WEN lives on. All series and event trademarks belong to their owners.

Which wallet do I need, and how do I buy $WEN?

Any self-custody wallet that works on Robinhood Chain — MetaMask or the Robinhood Wallet, for example. To get $WEN, use the one-swap link on the home page, which prefills an ETH-to-$WEN swap on Uniswap. $WEN lives on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663); you never hand your funds to us at any point.
