Holder payouts
How the daily holder pool is split among eligible UBI holders, and how payouts reach your wallet.
The holder pool collects a share of the trading fees from every token on ubi.fun, UBI’s own included (where the pool comes from). Once a day, a published formula divides it among eligible holders of UBI, the platform coin, by balance, and each share is sent to the holder’s wallet in USDC. The pool depends entirely on trading activity, so a day’s payout can be small or nothing, and nothing here is a promise of income.
Where the pool comes from
Every token on ubi.fun sends part of its trading fees to the UBI holder pool. How much depends on its kind; a token page with a holder dividends panel is a v2 token:
| Older tokens | v2 tokens | |
|---|---|---|
| Launched | Before October 4, 2026, UBI included | Since then |
| Trading fee | 1.25% | 1.5% to 5%, picked by the creator at launch |
| To the UBI holder pool | 24% of every fee | 13% of every fee, from October 7, 2026 |
A v2 token with a higher fee adds more to the pool on every trade. v2 tokens also pay their own holders dividends, on top of the pool (below).
How your share is calculated
One proportional split: each day’s whole pool divides across eligible UBI holders by balance. Hold 1% of the eligible UBI supply, receive 1% of the day’s pool.
Two consequences worth internalizing:
- The pool follows the whole platform’s volume. Every trade of every coin adds to it, not just trades of UBI. A quiet day on the platform means a smaller pool.
- Nobody can farm the pool. Trading with yourself pays the full swap fee and at most returns your UBI share of the holder portion, a guaranteed loss. The full math is in The holder pool.
Claiming
-
Hold UBI in a regular wallet. Open the Rewards page and connect it to see your earnings grow through the day.
-
Wait for your first round. Payouts activate daily: each UTC day’s epoch closes at 00, the payout dataset is published, and after a 1-hour on-chain timelock the round activates.
-
Get paid. Once a round activates, your USDC is sent to your wallet automatically, usually by 01 UTC. There’s nothing to claim. Entitlements are cumulative, so a delayed payout never loses you anything, and you can always claim it yourself on the Rewards page.
Every number in this flow is verifiable from public data, see Verify any payout.
Dividends from the tokens you hold
v2 tokens (1.5% to 5% fee) pay their own holders too: a share of every trading fee, in USDC, released over 24 hours. Your balance is shown on each token’s page under Yours to withdraw; withdraw whenever you like. This is separate from the UBI holder pool and comes on top of it: hold UBI for the pool, and hold v2 tokens for their dividends. See Creator vaults and holder dividends.
v3 tokens pay their holders the same way, in the token’s pair asset instead of USDC: gold-paired tokens pay in gold (XAUm). See How holders get paid.
