Contrabands

Every $CONTRABAND trade funds a treasury that buys Howls and never sells them.

The only contraband in Counter‑Strike.

The asset

Six grades are issued continuously. One was issued once.

Every Counter-Strike skin carries a rarity grade, from Consumer to Covert, and cases and trade-up contracts keep minting new supply in all of them. Contraband is the exception: a grade created for a single skin that had to be withdrawn from circulation, and never issued again.

  1. 1 May 2014

    Valve releases the Huntsman Weapon Case. Its top-tier drop is the M4A4 | Howl.

  2. 11 June 2014

    The Howl's artwork is found to infringe a third party's copyright. Valve removes it from the case, revises the artwork and reclassifies it under a new grade: Contraband.

  3. 11 June 2014

    The Howling Dawn sticker, derived from the same artwork, is reclassified alongside it. These remain the only two contraband-grade items in the game.

  4. 2014 to today

    No case, trade-up contract or update has issued a Howl since. Supply has been fixed for over twelve years.

  5. Today

    Roughly 7,600 Howls exist. Supply can only contract, and every acquisition by the treasury removes one from circulation.

Two items. One grade. Zero issuance.

Mechanism

Fixed-supply asset. Accumulate-only treasury.

01 · Fee routing

Trading volume becomes acquisition capital

Every buy and sell of $CONTRABAND generates a pump.fun creator fee. The treasury wallet is the token’s creator, so those fees accrue to it directly and are allocated to a single mandate: acquiring the lowest-priced contraband-grade item on the market.

02 · Permanent accumulation

Each acquisition removes supply

The treasury does not sell. Every item it acquires leaves the tradable float, compressing an already fixed supply. Holdings can only grow.

03 · Verifiable by default

Every state change is public

Fee claims, conversions and purchases settle as Solana transactions. Acquired items are held in a public Steam inventory. Treasury state is reconstructed from those sources in real time, not reported.

Howls held by the treasury0 / ~7,600
Share of total supply0.00%

Design rationale

Existing treasury tokens accumulate assets whose supply keeps expanding: commodities, trading cards, in-game currency. Contraband targets a single asset class with zero issuance, the only grade in Counter-Strike that cannot be dropped, crafted or unboxed, and holds it in full public view. Each acquisition tightens the remaining float.
