SCOTCH BONNET · USPTO serial 50064650 · filed by OpenAI OpCo, LLC · 21 Aug 2026
Scotch Bonnet is a fixed-supply token paired directly with the OPENAI PreStock. 1% of every transfer is distributed to holders — paid in the quote asset, not in the token itself.
The contract address will be published here and on X at launch. Verify before you buy.
Mechanism
The token launches in StonkFun's reward mode: a Token-2022 transfer fee that is automatically swept and distributed to holders in the pool's quote asset.
Every buy, sell or wallet-to-wallet transfer of $BONNET carries a 1% fee at the token level. It cannot be bypassed by routing through a different DEX.
Collected fees are sold into the pool for the quote asset — the OPENAI PreStock — rather than being held as $BONNET.
The quote asset is distributed pro-rata to every holder's wallet. No claiming, no staking, no lock-up: your balance is your position.
Distribution frequency and thresholds are set by the StonkFun protocol. Rewards scale with trading volume and can be zero in quiet periods.
Thesis
OpenAI is private. The PreStock is a tokenized claim on that pre-IPO valuation, and it is the asset every $BONNET reward is paid in. Holding the token is a way to accumulate that exposure from trading activity instead of buying it outright.
Most reward tokens pay you in more of themselves, which is just inflation. Here the payout is a separate asset with its own market — the reward is real whether or not the token price moves.
On 21 August 2026 OpenAI OpCo, LLC filed five trademark applications in the same class — microprocessors, semiconductors, integrated circuits — on the same day: JALAPENO, CAYENNE, SERRANO, HABANERO and SCOTCH BONNET. Jalapeño is the mildest of the five and shipped first. Scotch Bonnet is the top of that list. Serial numbers and links are in the Evidence section.
JALAPEÑO — same reward mode, same OpenAI pair — reached a peak market cap of ≈$411k per StonkFun's own market record. Scotch Bonnet was untokenized when this site went up: the original token on the name.
1B supply, no mint authority, liquidity permanently locked at launch, metadata on Arweave, and a reward mechanism enforced by the token program rather than a team wallet.
Evidence
Everything the thesis rests on, with the primary source. These are trademark applications (status: new application, not yet examined) — not registrations, and not an announced product roadmap.
All filed 21 Aug 2026 by OpenAI OpCo, LLC (Delaware). All in International Class 009 — computer hardware, integrated circuits, microprocessors and semiconductors (SERRANO also class 042, computer hardware design). Links open the USPTO's Trademark Status & Document Retrieval record for each serial.
Search them yourself: tmsearch.uspto.gov → owner name "OpenAI". No filing for any other pepper name (e.g. "Moruga", which some coverage speculated about) exists on the record as of 26 Aug 2026.
Commonly cited Scoville ranges: jalapeño ≈2,500–8,000 · serrano ≈10,000–23,000 · cayenne ≈30,000–50,000 · habanero ≈100,000–350,000 · scotch bonnet ≈100,000–350,000. Jalapeño — the mildest of the five — is the one that shipped first. That the rest follow in heat order is an inference, not an OpenAI statement; habanero and scotch bonnet share the top band.
market.peakMarketCapUsd, read 26 Aug 2026)$BONNET uses the identical launch configuration: reward mode, 1% fee, paired with the OPENAI PreStock (PreweJYECqtQwBtpxHL171nL2K6umo692gTm7Q3rpgF).

FAQ
No. Distributions are sent to holder wallets by the protocol. You will see the quote asset appear in your wallet over time.
No — it is paid in the quote asset, the OpenAI PreStock. That is the point of the structure: rewards are a separate asset, not inflation of the token you hold.
The transfer fee is a Token-2022 extension configured at creation under StonkFun's reward mode. There is no team wallet with authority over it.
A tokenized representation of a private company's pre-IPO valuation, listed as a quote asset on StonkFun. It is not equity in OpenAI and confers no shareholder rights.
No. Scotch Bonnet is an independent community token. OpenAI is referenced only as the quote asset the token is paired with.
