robinhood chain · pons creator fee

Hold. It gets heavier. Get paid.

A token arrives weighing nothing and gains weight every second for three hours. Every three hours the creator fee collected in that round is divided by weight and paid out. No snapshot to stand on, no cliff to plan around, and nothing is ever locked up.

the playbook

Three rules, and there is no fourth

The argument for this design is that it has one number in it. Anything needing a second number needs a reason, and none of the reasons were good enough.

RULE ONE

Weight is time held

Tokens arrive weighing nothing. Weight climbs every second and reaches the full balance after three hours. It cannot be bought, borrowed or sent — only waited for.


held 45m  →  a quarter
held 90m  →  half
held 3h+  →  all of it
RULE TWO

Every three hours, weight is paid

At each close the fee collected in that round is divided strictly in proportion to weight. No tiers, no multipliers, no bonus for a streak, no second term anywhere.


your share  =  your weight
                ÷ every weight
RULE THREE

Selling sheds the newest first

A wallet is a stack of dated parcels, not one number. Trim the top and it takes the parcel bought this morning, which weighs least. What you have held longest is the last thing to go.

newest parcel  →  sold first

What the token weighs right now

The beam carries the average weight of a token in circulation. It cannot be staged for a screenshot: a wallet that buys in order to move it contributes nothing at the moment it buys, and needs three hours before it counts in full.

What happens to a million tokens

Bought at the open of a round, held, and paid at the close. The figure beside each moment is what the settlement would actually divide on — the same function, evaluated at that minute.

00:00 · it arrives

It weighs nothing at all

Not a little — nothing. A buy, a transfer in, an airdrop and a rebuy after a sale all start in exactly the same place, which is why weight cannot be bought, borrowed or sent to anybody.

00:45 · three quarters of an hour

A quarter of it counts

Weight has been climbing every second since it landed. There was no moment when it switched on, and there will not be one — which means there is no moment to be standing on, and none to plan around.

01:30 · an hour and a half

Half

Half the round, half the bag. If a second wallet held half of this parcel instead, the two together would weigh exactly what this one does — so splitting across addresses gains nothing, and nothing has to be policed.

02:20 · the round is nearly over

Somebody trims the top

Selling takes the newest parcel first. This one is the oldest thing in the wallet, so it is the last thing to go — managing a bag and keeping your weight are not in conflict here.

03:00 · the close

Full weight, and the round pays

The round's creator fee is divided strictly in proportion to weight. The ledger naming every wallet — including the ones getting nothing, with the reason — goes up before a single payment moves.

Move it and see

Every point on this line is a division the settlement would actually do. It is the function, not a picture of one.

Reaches full weight

A gate would make the minute before it worth nothing and the minute after it worth everything. That is a moment to plan around, and somebody would. A ramp has no such moment: every minute held is worth exactly one minute, and buying an hour before the close earns a third rather than zero.

weigh a wallet

Every parcel, and what each one weighs

What it weighs now, what it will weigh at this round's close, the minute the rest reach full weight, and what it has actually been paid.

Nothing is stored. No wallet connection, no signature, no cookie — this reads public transfer logs and nothing else.

the live standing

Every wallet, on the record

Weight is worked out at the close of this round, because that is when the money is split. A parcel reaching full weight between now and then is counted at what it will weigh then, which is why this can be said before it happens.

Where the pot comes from

The question that separates a real thing from a costume, and the one most pages in this category leave off their own.

step oneSomebody swaps

Pons charges 1% on the pool. Nobody here charges anything on top of it.

step twoIt splits 70 / 30

Seventy per cent to the creator, thirty to the protocol. That split is Pons's, not ours.

step threeClaimed to one address

In ETH, to the treasury named below. Every claim is a transaction you can look up.

step fourThe round divides it

Strictly by weight, paid from that address. Nothing minted, nothing staked, never money from new buyers.

what it can't do

The parts most pages leave out

Weight can't be bought

Nothing arrives with weight on it — not a buy, not a transfer in, not an airdrop, not a rebuy after a sale. Only waited for.

Splitting gains nothing

Weight is linear, so two wallets holding half a parcel each weigh exactly what one wallet holding it weighs. Nothing to gain means nothing to police, which means nobody honest is caught by a clustering guess.

Deltas are held against the chain

Transfer logs are deltas — miss one and the number is wrong forever. Every wallet is checked against a live balanceOf before anyone is paid, and one that disagrees is named in the ledger and paid nothing that round.

  • The pool and treasury addresses are configured, not detected. Get them wrong and they appear in the standing as enormous holders.
  • Circulating supply is inferred from mints, burns and excluded balances, so supply parked in an unlisted address counts as circulating.
  • Payments below the cost of sending them are not kept and not lost: they are named in the ledger and roll into the next round, so small holders accumulate rather than getting nothing indefinitely.
  • There is no custody here. No keys, no signing, no connect-wallet button. Payments are sent by a person from their own wallet, using a file the closing tool writes.
  • Rewards depend on fees earned. If volume is zero the pot is zero. It is not a yield, and nothing here is financial advice.

Every second you hold weighs something

Three hours from nothing to full. Every three hours, the fee is divided by weight and paid.
