Get paid for holding
Hold coins people trade and collect USDC daily, here's how the money reaches you.
Holding any ubi.fun coin makes you a beneficiary of the platform’s fee stream. You don’t stake, lock, register, or do anything at all. Your wallet balance is your position. Once a day, the holder pool is divided and your share becomes claimable USDC.
How your share is calculated
Two proportional splits, in order:
- Between coins, by trading volume. Each day the pool divides across coins according to their share of that day’s traded volume. A coin that did 10% of the day’s volume earns its holders 10% of the day’s pool.
- Between holders, by balance. Each coin’s slice then divides across its holders in proportion to how much they hold. Hold 1% of the coin, receive 1% of its slice.
Two consequences worth internalizing:
- A coin only earns while people trade it. Holding a dead coin pays nothing that day. The honest phrase is “hold coins people trade,” not just “hold coins.”
- Nobody can farm the pool. Trading with yourself only routes a slice of your own fees back to you at a guaranteed loss. The volume weighting makes each coin’s slice come from the fees its own trading contributed. The full math is in The holder pool.
