Rewards & distributions

An NFT begins participating after its backing allocation is burned and it is activated. Its default rewards are funded in WETH by the configured NFT share of actual canonical trading fees. Earning depends on revenue reaching the reward contract, not time passing alone.

The lifetime earnings view tracks WETH earned by that NFT since activation; pending rewards show the amount currently available to claim. Previously claimed rewards stay part of lifetime earnings. Custom payout contracts may maintain separate balances and are not automatically included in these WETH totals.

Claims pay the NFT’s current owner. Pending unclaimed rewards travel with the NFT on transfer, and lifetime earnings remain associated with that NFT. A seller can claim before a transfer settles, so a buyer should recheck the current pending amount.

A contract wallet can own and claim an NFT’s rewards if it supports the necessary calls. Giving each NFT its own token-bound wallet is not required for the core reward ledger. Claims are onchain transactions and need gas.

Fee accounting credits recipients in WETH. Delivery or claim is separate from the user’s swap where appropriate, so a failing recipient is not intended to block the trading path. A credited balance is not the same as a completed external donation.

On Ink the Terminal Pot and Growth Sink allocations use their donation integrations. Failed deliveries retain funds for retry. Platform and creator allocations remain separate from the NFT reward allocation.

A creator can direct optional WETH fees to a custom recipient contract. That contract must implement any subsequent swaps, epochs, holder weighting or token distributions. Merely entering a destination does not install those features.

For example, a WETH-funded converter could wait for an epoch and threshold, acquire another asset along an available route and distribute it to eligible NFT holders. Token availability, permissions, liquidity, pricing protection and distribution accounting all need a separate implementation. Such a payout would be funded by trading fees; it is not automatically a company dividend.

The current release launches WETH pairs. Alternative base assets and an xStock converter are not included. Recipients that redistribute the collection’s own tokens need their own secure entitlement logic; reflections are not automatically created by a buyback setting.
