Paid until you are back to even.
Thirty percent of collected fees is reserved for holders of that token. A payment is the chain’s quote, USDC on Elysium and ETH on Robinhood Chain. It lands in the wallet. It does not buy the token and it does not move the chart.
The point is the holder who bought and held through a drop. Payouts give that wallet a way back toward what it paid without selling.
Who qualifies
| Buy on this site | Cost increases by the quote that went through the launch pool, after the pool fee. Eligible after 15 minutes. |
| Buy on Uniswap | The pool fee is paid. No cost is recorded. No rebate on those tokens. |
| Hold for under 15 minutes | Not eligible yet. The position is still building. |
| Sell any amount | Disqualified on this token, even if you buy again. |
| Send tokens to a normal wallet | Disqualified. A transfer cannot reset the entry. |
| Burn to the dead address | The position shrinks. Remaining cost and prior rebates scale down. You stay eligible on what you still hold. |
| Send to a named sink | Same as a burn. Up to three contracts can be frozen at launch. The sink is not a holder. |
| Receive tokens with no buy | No cost. Those tokens are not eligible. |
The shortfall
The reference price is the higher of the spot price and the 15-minute average. A single block cannot print a price and empty the reserve. Your shortfall is:
shortfall = cost − reference value − rebates already funded
A negative result is zero. Payments stop when the tokens you still hold, marked at that reference, plus the rebates you have been funded, cover what you paid. That is break-even.
A round, in numbers
Suppose the reserve can pay 30, and two wallets qualify. One shortfall is 100, the other is 50. The funded pool is 30, because that is all there is. The first wallet has two thirds of the shortfall, so it is paid 20. The second is paid 10.
