Payouts and claims
Every Eden token pays four groups from its trading fees: holders, scorers, the creator and the protocol lanes. All payouts are in the token's pair asset, and every claim pays only the wallet that owns it. No operator, keeper or Eden key can redirect a payout.
At a glance
| Who | What | When | How to claim |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holders | A share of every trade on the tokens they hold | Daily snapshot; claimable 24 h later, for 90 days | Profile → Claims |
| Scorers | Rewards streamed per second while a score is active | Withdraw any time | Profile → Claims, or the scorer page |
| Creators | Score-based share of the fee, after carve-outs | Any time | Profile → Claims |
Holders
- Every day the holder poster takes a snapshot of on-chain balances at a fixed block and publishes one Merkle root per token and pair asset.
- Contract balances (the curve, pool, vesting locks and protocol vaults) are excluded, so the payout goes to people, not plumbing.
- Your leaf becomes claimable 24 hours after the root is posted and stays claimable for 90 days. After that, anything unclaimed rolls into the next round for everyone.
- A claim pays the wallet in the leaf. That wallet may sign for a different recipient, for example a smart account that cannot receive ETH. Anyone can submit a claim on your behalf, but the funds still go only to you.
The holder share is never reduced by the creator's score.
Scorers
Scorers earn from each token they score, in that token's pair asset:
- Rewards start accruing once the thesis grade is proven on-chain and run until 30 days after the score.
- They stream per second, weighted by √stake × thesis quality.
- Every funding is dripped over 7 days, so a large fee sweep cannot be sniped by scoring just before it.
- No scorer can earn more than 5 % of a token's reward rate. Anything above the cap, or earned while nobody is scoring, is bought as ROOT and burned.
- Withdraw any time. A request to unstake stops new accrual immediately, and what you have earned stays claimable.
The exact formulas are in Scoring and rewards math.
Creators
Trading fees for a launch accrue on its curve, or in the hook after graduation. A keeper sweeps them about every 6 hours, but only when the amount is worth well over the gas. The sweep splits the fee into its lanes and credits the creator escrow.
Fees reach your claimable balance only after a sweep. If you have just seen a burst of trading, your balance updates at the next sweep. Fees are never lost while they wait.
The creator's claimable amount is their score-based share minus the locked-liquidity slice and their chosen buyback share (Creator controls).
Protocol lanes
The protocol half of every fee is split on each sweep between the EDEN index, the ROOT buyback (half burned, half locked as ROOT liquidity), grants, scoring operations and Eden. The share of the creator half that a creator has not yet earned through score is redistributed to holders, scorers, the index, the buyback and Eden. Rates are in Tokenomics.
Seeing what you are owed
- Profile → Claims shows every claimable amount for the connected wallet: creator fees per token and asset, holder payouts per round, and scorer rewards with their live per-second rate.
- Amounts come from on-chain state. If the indexer is behind, the app reads the chain directly.
