Hold and it rains ETH on you. Post and get paid by impression.

The Vein is a token with two payment loops on top of it. Hold $VEIN and every 12 hours a Merkle drop lands ETH in the Rain contract for your address, proportional to your share of supply. Post about it on X and get paid daily by estimated impressions. Both loops are funded by the same $VEIN creator fee that Pons pays back — nothing external, nothing infinite.

Two legs, one token

Rain · you hold, you get paid

Every 12 hours we snapshot every $VEIN holder's balance and send ETH directly to your wallet, proportional to your % of supply. No claim button — it lands. As the holder count grows, we migrate to a Merkle claim contract so you can batch and skip weeks.

Yaps · you talk, you get paid

Link your X handle by bio code verification. Post with $VEIN or @theveindotfun. Every day we compute estimated impressions × CPM per verified handle and send ETH directly to your wallet. Same migration path — Merkle claim contract when we scale.

How the two are funded

Pons pays the $VEIN creator 70% of every 1% trade fee — around 0.7% of total volume. We claim that continuously and split it:

40%

Rain drops every 12h to holders, proportional to supply held

25%

Marketing daily ETH payouts to wallets that posted about $VEIN on X

20%

Buyback & Burn continuously buys $VEIN off the market and burns it to 0x…dead — deflationary pressure that benefits every holder

15%

Reserve keeper gas, snapshot infra, front-end, audit, dev bounties

The split is documented publicly, but not enforced on-chain — the creator fee is claimed to a wallet that then funds the two contracts. If the split drifts, you can see it drift in real time on @theveindotfun.

Why this is self-sustaining

Zero owner override

Contracts have no pause, no upgrade, no refund, no privileged withdraw. Read the source. Owner can only drop() new rounds.

Volume feeds every loop

Bigger $VEIN volume → bigger creator fees → bigger rain, bigger yaps, more burns. Bigger yaps → more posts → bigger volume. Feedback loop, not a promise.

Deflation by design

Every week 20% of the fee buys $VEIN off the market and sends it to 0x…dEaD. Supply only shrinks. Every burn tx is announced.

Claims never expire

Miss a rain? It sits on-chain until you claim. Batch every unclaimed round in one transaction. No FOMO cooldown, no vesting.

Nothing outside pays the payouts

Rain, marketing, buyback, reserve — all four legs are funded strictly from what the token earned on Pons. Zero VC, zero treasury unlock, zero emission.

Roadmap · how the distribution grows up

Phase 0 · now

Direct payment from the keeper wallet to each holder / verified poster. Small holder count, fully manual, works with any batch-send tool (disperse.app). Simple, transparent, no contract yet.

Phase 1 · ~250-500 holders

Same direct-payment model but fully automated keeper (script running every 12h) so drops never miss even if we're offline. Still push-payment.

Phase 2 · ~1000+ holders

Merkle claim contracts for Rain and Yaps go live. You claim on your own schedule, batch every unclaimed round in one tx, never expires.

Phase 3 · maturity

Contracts renounce ownership. Keeper multisig cold. Site pinned on IPFS + ENS. Runs by itself, forever, nobody can turn it off.

Honest about what we cannot promise

Bad volume → tiny drops. If nobody trades $VEIN one day, the creator fee is zero and the next rain is zero. This is the honest read of the model — the loop only works when the token has actual usage.

Snapshot is off-chain and privileged. The keeper wallet computes each round's balances and publishes the root. A malicious keeper could publish a wrong root. Mitigation: we publish the raw balances JSON with every drop so anyone can re-run the math and verify. If a round is wrong, we drop a corrected one; the bad round is a public record.

Nothing here is a security. Holding a token that pays you fees from its own trading is not an investment contract in the sense you should treat like a stock. Buy $VEIN with money you can lose, not with rent.
