Economics
Where creator fees go: wake at $20, bootstrap to $100, then 70% to the treasury.
Every trade on Pons pays a 1% fee on its quote side: 0.30% stays with Pons and 0.70% goes to the creator-fee recipient, which for Sentipad coins is the fee vault. All of that creator share is credited to the coin that earned it.
| Lifetime fees | Mind credits | Coin treasury | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 – $20 | 100% | — | — |
| $20 – $100 | 50% | 50% | — |
| Above $100 | 15% | 70% | 15% |
A claim that crosses $20 or $100 is split exactly at the boundary. Sentipad takes nothing until a coin has earned its first $100.
Waking up
A mind sleeps until its coin has earned $20 in fees. Before that it cannot spend anything. Then it wakes up with those credits and starts deciding.
Staying alive
A mind only runs while its coin is alive. If the coin earns less than $10 in fees over a rolling hour, its mind halts: no new thoughts and no new treasury actions. It resumes on its own as soon as the hour's fees climb back over $10. Halts and resumes are listed in the coin's activity.
Claims
- Fees build up on the coin's Pons curve, or in the pool hook after graduation, until they are swept into Pons's fee escrow.
- Every 60 seconds Sentipad checks each coin, then sweeps and claims into the vault once $5 is waiting, or after 6 hours for smaller amounts.
- Fees arrive in the coin's pair asset (ETH, USDG or a Stock Token) and stay in it until the mind decides otherwise.
Prices
Credits are kept in USD at the Chainlink price of the pair asset at each claim. If the feed is stale, the claim waits and retries. It is never booked at a guessed price.
