responsrobinhood chain · pons creator fee
Paid for every second you held.
Hold one token for one second and you bank one token-second. When a creator fee actually lands it is split across those seconds in proportion, and the seconds it paid for are burned. No snapshot, no round, no epoch, and no moment to be standing on — because there is no moment.
One unit, and no clock
Every design in this category starts by choosing a moment — a snapshot picks one, a window picks two, an epoch picks a repeating one. The instant a design has a moment in it, that moment is worth planning around. This one does not have one.
A second of holding is a unit
Hold one token for one second and you bank one token-second. Hold a million for an hour and you bank 3.6 billion. Nothing decays, nothing expires, and selling never reaches backwards to take away holding you actually did.
1 token × 1 second = 1 token-second 1,000,000 × 1 hour = 3,600,000,000
The money splits the moment it exists
When a creator-fee claim lands in the treasury it is divided across every banked second in proportion, and the seconds it paid for are burned. No schedule decides this. The arrival of the money does.
your share = your seconds
÷ every second banked
There is no edge to stand on
Buying a second earlier earns exactly one more second. Selling a second later earns exactly one more second. Every boundary that a snapshot design creates — and that everyone learns to trade around — simply is not here.
buy 1s earlier → +1 second sell 1s later → +1 second
- Someone who holds for forty seconds earns forty seconds' worth. That is not a hole in it — it is the mechanism being proportional instead of gated. What stops it being farmed is arithmetic: a round trip costs 1% in and 1% out, and a few seconds of accrual does not come close to covering that.
- Your share of an arrival is your share of the holding that arrival's money covers. Two wallets that held the same amount since the last arrival take the same share of the next one. Holding since launch does not inflate a single payout — it means you were paid at every arrival there has ever been.
- Splitting a bag across wallets gains nothing. Token-seconds are linear, so two wallets holding half each bank exactly what one wallet holding the whole thing banks. Nothing to gain means nothing to police, which means nobody honest is caught by a clustering guess.
What a hold is worth, in seconds
The whole unit is one number multiplied by another one. This is not a projection and it reads nothing from the chain — it is the same arithmetic the engine runs, done here in the page, so it is true before the coin exists and it stays true afterwards.
is added while the balance stays where it is. Stop holding and it stops; nothing decays and nothing already banked is taken away.
because the unit is a product. Half the tokens for twice as long banks exactly the same, which is why splitting a bag gains nothing.
is what buying a second earlier is worth, and what selling a second later is worth. That is the whole edge, and it is not one.
Every wallet, and what it has banked
Banked seconds are what the next arrival will be divided by. The share column is what each wallet would take if the fee sitting in the treasury were split right now — a projection of a real division, not a promise, because until it settles the seconds keep accruing and every share keeps moving.

What you have banked, to the second
What it is accruing right now, what it has banked since the last arrival, what it has earned across its whole life, and every arrival it has actually been paid out of.
Nothing is stored. No wallet connection, no signature, no cookie — this reads public transfer logs and nothing else.
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.
Pons charges 1% on the pool. Nobody here charges anything on top.
Seventy per cent to the creator, thirty to the protocol. That split is Pons's, not ours.
In ETH, to the treasury named below. Every claim is a transaction you can look up.
Immediately, in proportion, and the seconds it paid for are burned. Nothing minted, nothing staked, never money from new buyers.

Paid in public
Each arrival's ledger went up before its money moved, so anyone who saved a copy can hold it against the payment transactions afterwards. The gaps between them are uneven because the money turns up when it turns up, and nothing here pretends otherwise.

The parts most pages leave out
Deltas are held against the chain
Balances are rebuilt from transfer logs, which are deltas — miss one
and the number is wrong forever and nothing inside the reconstruction
would notice. Every wallet is checked against a live
balanceOf before anyone is paid, and one that disagrees is
named in the ledger and paid nothing.
Seconds can't be bought
Nothing arrives with seconds on it — not a buy, not a transfer in, not an airdrop. Move a bag to a second address and the seconds stay with the wallet that earned them, so the pair is strictly worse off than doing nothing.
Native claims can be under-read
A native transfer made inside a contract call emits no log and is invisible without a trace API. When the fee arrives that way the page reports the pot as a floor rather than a total, and says so, rather than printing a number it cannot stand behind.
- The pool and treasury addresses are configured, not detected. Get them wrong and they appear in the standing as enormous banks.
- A payment below the cost of sending it is not kept and not lost: it stays as credit on the wallet, is named in the ledger, and goes out the moment the total crosses the floor.
- Money that arrives while nobody holds anything has nobody to pay. It is carried forward rather than vanishing.
- 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 settling 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 counts, literally
There is no clock in this. The money is split the moment it exists, and your share of it is the share of the holding that earned it.
