Distribution Modes
The creator chooses who the 70% pays: every holder, or only the Top 250, Top 100 or Top 50 wallets.
Four modes#
When launching, the creator decides who the 70% holder share pays. In every mode, a wallet's part is pro-rata to its balance among the wallets being paid.
| Mode | Who is paid |
|---|---|
| All | The holder share is split pro-rata across every wallet. |
| Top 250 | 100% of the holder share goes to the 250 largest wallets. |
| Top 100 | 100% of the holder share goes to the 100 largest wallets. |
| Top 50 | 100% of the holder share goes to the 50 largest wallets. |
Paid, pro-rata to its balance
The ramp#
No coin starts at its full allocation. At launch the airdrop pays the top 20 wallets, and at every airdrop (every 2 minutes) the paid set widens by 10 wallets until it reaches the mode the creator chose. The launch form shows the window for each option, and coin pages show a coin that is still ramping.
| Allocation | Airdrops to reach it | Time from launch |
|---|---|---|
| Top 250 | 23 | 46 min |
| Top 100 | 8 | 16 min |
| Top 50 | 3 | 6 min |
| All holders | (holders − 20) ÷ 10 | e.g. 1 h 16 min at 400 holders |
paid(k) = min(target, 20 + 10 × k) // k = airdrops since launchwindow = ceil((target − 20) ÷ 10) × 2 minHow the cutoff works#
In a Top-N mode, holders are ranked by balance. Ranks 1 to N share 100% of the holder share (N is the ramp's current size until it reaches the target); rank N+1 and below receive nothing from that coin. The coin page shows the balance needed to be included, and the holders just above and below the line.
Fixed at launch
Choosing a mode#
The launch form's estimator shows the effect: the same daily volume spread over fewer wallets pays each of them more. With 400 holders in All holders mode and $100K daily volume, each paid wallet averages about 42 ORBIO a day; in Top 50 it's about 340.
