Holder payouts

A coin's creator can route part of its creator fee to the people who hold or trade it. Manna's keeper, an automated wallet that runs every 15 minutes, collects those fees and pays them out. This page explains each payout type, who qualifies, how amounts are worked out, and how to collect what you are owed on each chain.

Whether a coin pays any of this is the creator's choice, fixed at launch. Check before you buy: on the coin page, open About, then Fees. The Creator fee bar shows the split, for example "Holders 40% · Comeback Fund 20% · Creator 40%".

The keeper cycle#

Every 15 minutes the keeper, for every Manna coin:

1. 1Collects fees. On Solana it claims the coin's share of trading fees from its Meteora pool. On Robinhood Chain and the other EVM chains the fees are already split by the factory contract on every trade; for graduated coins the keeper first collects the Uniswap pool fees into the factory.
2. 2Splits them. Manna's 1% goes to Manna. The creator fee is split along the coin's route: creator, holders (Harvest Drops), Comeback Fund, Jackpot, Burn, Spread and Hype Crew.
3. 3Pays each bucket that is due. A bucket pays out once it holds enough to be worth a transaction (see below). Otherwise it keeps filling.

The Next drop countdown on /me, on coin pages and on the Storehouse counts down to the next run.

The $1 minimum#

The keeper never sends a transaction to move less than $1. That covers claiming fees, paying a bucket, burning and spreading. Smaller amounts stay where they are and go out together once they reach $1. This keeps network fees from eating small payouts.

On chains where gas is expensive (Ethereum, for example), the bar is higher: a payout must be worth at least 3 times what its transaction costs. On those chains a single holder's share that would be too small to be worth claiming is kept for that holder, adding up across drops, and credited once it's worth it, instead of turning into dust.

Harvest Drops#

Harvest Drops are the "holders" share of a coin's creator fee.

• Who: the top 60 holders of the coin, by balance.
• How much: in proportion to balance. If you hold 10% of what those 60 wallets hold together, you get 10% of the drop.
• Paid in: the coin's pair asset (SOL, USDC, ETH, USDG...).

On Solana, when the bucket is due the whole drop is split across the top 60 holders at once and each share is added to what that wallet is owed. The keeper then sends every wallet whose owed amount is worth at least $1 (and at least 0.001 SOL on SOL pairs), up to 12 wallets per transaction (8 on non-SOL pairs) and several transactions per run. Wallets that have waited longest go first, so every holder in the top 60 gets paid, not only the largest. A share worth less than $1 is never dropped: it keeps adding up across drops until it is worth sending. Payouts land in your wallet by themselves.

On Robinhood Chain, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and Avalanche, the keeper credits each holder's share to a claimable balance in Manna's factory contract. You collect it on /me whenever you like. See How to collect. The drop works the same way as on Solana: when the vault is due, it's split across the top 60 holders at once and each share is kept for that wallet. On Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and Avalanche a wallet is credited once its share is worth at least $1 and at least 3 times the gas of claiming it; a smaller share keeps adding up for that same wallet across drops until it is, so it never goes back to the vault for the bigger holders. On Robinhood Chain, where gas costs a fraction of a cent, every share is credited at once. Up to 60 wallets are credited per transaction, longest-waiting first. Every credit is written down before it's sent and settled by its transaction, so nothing is credited twice. The Comeback Fund works the same way.

Comeback Fund#

The Comeback Fund pays holders who are currently at a loss on the coin.

• Who: current holders whose bag is worth less than they paid for it. Wallets that sold everything are not included. Team wallets are excluded.
• How much: in proportion to your unrealized loss, and never more than your loss.
• No double pay: Comeback payouts you already received are subtracted from your loss, so you are never paid twice for the same loss.

Your loss is: what you paid for the coins you still hold, minus what they are worth now, minus Comeback payouts you already got (or are already owed). On Solana the fund is split across up to 60 wallets in the red, largest loss first, and paid out the same way as Harvest Drops: everyone's share is kept for them and sent once it is worth $1.

On a coin with the fund switched on, the coin page shows a Comeback Fund is on card. Connect your wallet to see "You're in the next drop. You're down 0.42 SOL", or that you are not in a loss right now.

Jackpot#

The Jackpot bucket goes to one holder at a time.

• Who wins: a random current holder. Your odds are your balance divided by the combined balance of all holders: hold 5% of what holders hold in total and you have a 5% chance.
• How often: at most once every 24 hours per coin. There is no fixed time. Once 24 hours have passed since the last jackpot and the bucket holds at least $1, the next keeper run picks a winner.
• How much: the whole bucket.

Spread#

Spread rewards active traders rather than holders.

1. 1The keeper takes the Spread bucket and buys the coin with it, on its curve or in its pool after graduation.
2. 2It splits the coins equally between random wallets that traded any Manna coin on the same chain in the last 24 hours.
3. 3The coin's creator and team wallets are excluded.

If nobody traded on that chain in the last 24 hours, the bucket keeps filling until someone does. On EVM chains, if a coin's trading rule blocks a transfer to one wallet, those coins stay with the keeper and go out on the next run.

Burn#

The Burn bucket buys the coin back and destroys it, which shrinks supply. Burns have their own page: Burns and the Storehouse.

Other payouts#

• AI credits. Coins launched with the AI credits split pay holders in Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok credits instead of SOL or ETH. Credits are shared by all holders in proportion to balance. See Manna AI.
• Hype Crew. A trade that came through someone's share link pays its Hype Crew slice to them; without a link (or after graduation) the slice is added to the Harvest Drop. See Hype Crew.
• Battle prizes. When a Team Battle on Solana ends, the winning coin's prize buys that coin and sends it to up to 40 of its largest non-team holders, in proportion to balance. See Team Battles.

Worked example#

A Solana coin has a 2% creator fee routed 50% Harvest Drops, 25% Comeback Fund, 25% creator. In 15 minutes it trades 100 SOL of volume.

Manna fee:        100 SOL x 1%  = 1.00 SOL (to Manna)
Creator fee:     100 SOL x 2%  = 2.00 SOL
  Harvest Drops:  2.00 x 50%    = 1.00 SOL
  Comeback Fund: 2.00 x 25%    = 0.50 SOL
  Creator:       2.00 x 25%    = 0.50 SOL

You hold 4% of what the top 60 holders hold together. Your Harvest Drop is 1.00 SOL x 4% = 0.04 SOL. You are also down 0.3 SOL on your bag, and the total loss across holders in the red is 6 SOL, so your Comeback share is 0.50 x (0.3 / 6) = 0.025 SOL. Both are worth more than $1, so they land in your wallet at the next keeper run (or the one after, if many wallets are due at once).

If the same coin only traded 2 SOL of volume, the Harvest Drop bucket would hold 0.02 SOL. Worth less than $1, it waits and adds up until it is worth sending.

How to collect#

Claimable balances never expire and only you can claim yours.
