Hold weight
How hold time multiplies your share, and what resets it.
Your share of a roll is not just your balance. It is your balance multiplied by how long you have held it.
weight = balance × multiplier(heldDays)
share = weight / totalWeight
payout = share × ballBalanceThe curve
The multiplier starts at 1.00× the moment you acquire tokens and saturates toward 2.50×:
multiplier(d) = 1 + 1.5 × (1 − e^(−0.026 × d))It is deliberately steep early and flat late. A week in you are at roughly 1.25×; a month in, about 1.81×; by six months you are close to the 2.50× ceiling and further holding changes very little.
| Held | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 0 days | 1.00× |
| 7 days | 1.25× |
| 30 days | 1.81× |
| 90 days | 2.36× |
| 180 days | 2.49× |
The ceiling matters as much as the slope. Without one, the earliest wallets would compound their advantage indefinitely and the protocol would slowly become a pension for its first ten addresses.
What resets it
Any outgoing transfer resets your multiplier to 1.00×. Not proportionally — entirely, on your whole remaining balance.
That includes moving tokens between wallets you own, and selling one token out of a million. The contract cannot tell the difference between you reorganising your own holdings and you exiting, and a rule that tried to guess would be a rule people could game. So it does not guess.
Buying more does not reset you. Incoming transfers blend instead: your hold age is recalculated as the balance-weighted average of what you had and what just arrived. Adding a small amount to a long-held position barely moves your multiplier.
Worked example
Two holders, both with 10,000 tokens, at a roll of 25,000 USDC where the total hold-weighted supply is 4,000,000.
| Held | Multiplier | Weight | Payout | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 90 days | 2.36× | 23,600 | 147.50 USDC |
| B | 2 days | 1.05× | 10,500 | 65.63 USDC |
Same balance, 2.25× the payout. If A sells a single token the day before the roll, A drops to 1.00× and takes less than B.
The slider on the home page plots the same curve the contract uses.
