$AICOME
Artificial Income
Hold $AICOME. Get paid in $AI. Every trade funds the next payout, and the machine that sends it pays for its own running costs.
Every figure above is read straight from the contract. They fill in once it is live.
Four steps, none of which need you
Every buy and sell pays a fee. That fee becomes $AI in your wallet. Here is the whole path, with nothing left out.
Someone trades
A buy or sell of $AICOME pays a fee in ETH. It accrues to the rewards contract, not to a person.
The fee is claimed
Anyone can trigger the claim. The ETH lands in a contract with no owner and no withdraw function.
It buys $AI
The ETH is spent buying $AI on the open market, at a price checked against a time-averaged rate so it cannot be gamed.
Holders are paid
The $AI is sent out to holders in proportion to what they hold. It arrives in your wallet. There is nothing to claim.
It pays for its own gas
Reward tokens don't usually die because the idea was bad. They die because one wallet somewhere has to keep paying gas to send the rewards, and one day nobody tops it up.
◆ A tank, not a tap
A small slice of each fee is kept back as ETH — but only while the tank is below its cap. Once it's full, every wei of fee goes to holders again.
◆ Callers get paid back
Whoever pushes the button is refunded their gas out of that tank. Running a round costs nothing, so it doesn't depend on goodwill.
◆ Strangers refill the wallet
The claim step also tops up the payout wallet when it runs low. Because that step pays its caller, someone else's transaction keeps ours alive.
The bound, stated plainly
Gas money can only ever come out of that tank, and the tank can only ever grow by 5% of a harvest. So the lifetime cost of running this is capped at 5% of fees, no matter who calls what or how often. There is no path by which it becomes more.
In testing against the live chain, eight full rounds cost 0.53% of fees — about a tenth of the ceiling.
What nobody can do, including us
These aren't promises. They're properties of a contract with no owner, which you can read yourself.
✓ No owner
There is no admin function, no upgrade path and no privileged address. Nothing about the contract can be changed after deployment.
✓ No way to take the money
No function moves $AI anywhere except to a holder, capped at their proportional share. ETH leaves only to buy $AI, or as capped gas money.
✓ No way to over-pay a friend
The payout list is built off-chain, but the contract enforces the cap. Nobody can be paid more than their share, whoever submits the list.
✓ It can't be starved
If the payout wallet ever stops, distribution becomes open to anyone after a grace period. Funds cannot be stranded by our absence.
✓ Price can't be gamed
Conversions are bounded against a time-averaged price, so a flash-manipulated pool can't be used to buy $AI cheaply with holders' ETH.
✓ Published and verified
Source is verified on the explorer. What you read is what is running — the same bytecode, not a copy of it.
What a holding earns
Rewards scale with your share of supply and with how much the token trades. Both of those move, so treat this as arithmetic, not a forecast.
The obvious ones
Do I have to claim?
No. $AI is sent to your wallet. There is no claim button, no staking and nothing to sign. If you hold, you're in.
When does the first payout happen?
Fees have to accrue before there is anything to pay out, and on Pons the fees become claimable only once the launchpad has credited them. That step is Pons's, not ours, so the first round follows their schedule rather than ours. Everything after that runs on its own.
What happens if you disappear?
Payouts keep running. Claiming, converting and opening a round are open to anyone, and the contract pays whoever does it. Distribution itself opens up to anyone after a grace period, so nothing can be locked away by our absence.
Why pay rewards in $AI instead of ETH?
Because the fee is spent buying $AI on the open market, every round is a real buy rather than a transfer. Holders get an asset with its own demand behind it, and the buying is visible on-chain rather than being something you have to take our word for.
Can the fee be changed?
No. There is no function to change it, because there is no owner to call one. The same is true of every other parameter.
Who pays for the gas?
The fees do. A capped slice is held back as ETH and reimburses whoever advances a round, including the wallet that sends payouts. Nobody has to fund anything by hand, which is the single most common reason reward tokens quietly stop paying.
