One holder is paid every second.

86,400 payouts a day, drawn from the live holder book and settled in ETH. No staking, no claiming, no emissions. The money is the trading fee the market already pays, and the pace is only possible because a transfer here costs five ten-millionths of an ether.

01 — Mechanism

What happens in one second

Every second the engine reads the holder book, draws a single address weighted by the size of its position, signs a transfer, journals it, and broadcasts. The chain confirms in roughly a tenth of a second and the ETH is in the winner's wallet.

Nothing is minted. The pot is the creator fee the bonding curve already charges on every trade, claimed and handed straight back out. Gas for the payout comes out of the same pot, which is why the rate at the top of this page is measured rather than promised.

The holder book is not a snapshot. It is rebuilt from the token's ERC-20 Transfer log, so a wallet becomes eligible in the block it buys and stops being eligible the moment it sells. There is no cut-off, no epoch and no registration.

Because the log is the source of truth, the book survives a restart with no state to reconcile: replay the log and you have the same book, byte for byte.

Figure 1. One payout, end to end. The packet on the rail is a single second: log to book, book to weighted draw, draw to a locally signed and journaled transaction, then one block, then paid. The transaction is written to the journal before it is broadcast, so a crash can never turn a landed payment into a repeat.
02 — Arithmetic

Why it can only be built here

A native transfer costs 21,000 gas. Robinhood Chain prices gas at roughly 0.025 gwei, so one payout costs 0.000000525 ETH. Paying somebody every second for a full day costs 0.045 ETH in gas: about a hundred and eighty dollars. The same schedule is an act of vandalism on any chain with real fees.

Figure 2. Cost of one day of per-second payouts, log scale. The bar that matters is the first one: at roughly $26,000 of daily trading volume the fee income covers its own gas, and everything above that is payout.
The headline is not a slogan. It is a property of the chain, and the arithmetic is four numbers long.
03 — Fairness

A weighted draw, not a leaderboard

Each second every holder's chance of being drawn equals their share of the eligible supply. There is no cooldown and no exclusion list: the same wallet can win twice in a row, and a wallet that has never won is not owed anything.

That sounds unfair for a single draw and is exactly fair over many. With 86,400 draws a day, the observed share of wins converges on the share of supply quickly enough that you can watch it happen.

The alternative designs all fail in the same way. A leaderboard pays the top of the book and nobody else. A queue rewards patience but can be gamed by splitting a position across wallets. A weighted draw is indifferent to how many addresses you hold in, because splitting a bag does not change its size.

Figure 3. A live Monte Carlo of the draw, running in your browser. Five holders with 42, 26, 17, 9 and 6 per cent of supply; the solid lines are their observed share of wins, the dashed lines are their share of supply. Convergence is the whole argument, and it is running right now rather than being asserted.
04 — Engine

How the payouts are actually made

Book

Rebuilt from Transfer logs from block zero. Machinery addresses — the curve, the router, the locker, the deployer, the protocol fee wallet — are excluded, so the draw only ever lands on a real holder.

Money

Only claimed commission is distributable. The operator's own seed capital is tracked separately and can never be paid out, which is a mistake this codebase has already made once and will not make again.

Settlement

Every payout is signed locally, journaled with its hash, and only then broadcast. An ambiguous receipt is treated as pending rather than failed: reading a lost HTTP response as an unsent payment is how a bot pays twice.

Cadence

The target is one per second. When fee income cannot cover the gas the interval stretches instead of the pot going negative, and the rate shown on this page is always the real one.
