How Payout works

Payout is a fee bridge for Robinhood Chain. A Pons token points its creator fees at us, we claim them on chain, and 80% is paid to an X account through X Money. Nobody has to sign up to be paid.

1Overview

A deployer launches a token on Pons and sets its creator wallet to the Payout treasury. The token's description names an X account. Fees accrue as the token trades, we sweep them into Pons's fee escrow and claim them, 80% is converted to dollars and sent to the recipient through X Money, and 20% is the protocol cut.

1
A token directs its fees
The deployer sets the creator wallet to the treasury. Permanent by assignment.
2
The description names a handle
One line says who the fees belong to.
3
The token registers itself
The indexer sees the recipient on chain. No approval step.
4
Fees are claimed
Swept and claimed on a schedule, each recorded against its transaction.
5
The recipient is paid in dollars
Sent through X Money, with a public reply confirming it.

2Directing fees

On Pons the creator fee recipient is a field set at creation (creatorFeeRecipient in launchToken). Set it to:

0x9fb09e13D79e1e5211dB606dBBBfe29A5e9Fe89c

It is permanent by assignment. Pons's factory lets only the current recipient call transferCreatorFeeRecipient, so once it is ours the deployer cannot take it back. For a token you already launched, call that function from the current recipient wallet, or use the Register tab on the launch page.

Leave Pons's buyback toggle off. With buybacks on, only Pons's operator can sweep the curve, and payouts wait on their schedule instead of ours.

3Naming the recipient

Put this line anywhere in the token description, with the handle you want paid:

Fees to @yourhandle via Payout

If the line is missing we fall back to the first @handle in the description, then to the X link in the token's on-chain socials. The recipient does not need to agree, know in advance, or hold a wallet.

4The 80/20 split

Fees we addNone. The 20% is the whole of it

Pons takes its own 30% of the 1% trade fee before anything reaches us; the split above is on what we receive.

5How claims work

Fees accrue inside each token's bonding curve (or, after graduation, inside the Uniswap v4 hook). On a schedule we call sweepFees or sweepPoolFees, which credits the treasury in Pons's fee escrow, then claim() to withdraw. Each sweep is recorded by its transaction hash so nothing is counted twice, and valued in dollars at that moment.

6Getting paid

Payouts land at milestones: $5, then $10, $20, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 and every $1,000 after. Each crossing sends the full balance, at most once per recipient per day. If the handle has not opened X Money, the payment still arrives as a claimable payment with a window that is usually 14 days. X Money requires being 18+, a U.S. resident and an X Premium subscriber.

7Unclaimed payments

An unclaimed payment expires under X's policy and returns to the sender. Expired funds pass to the protocol treasury. That is the only thing that ever happens to an expired payment.

8Stopping payments

Turn off incoming payments in your X Money settings, or sign in on the opt-out page. Removal is immediate: your handle comes off the site, tokens naming you are hidden, and we stop claiming their fees.
