Payment enters
Buyers pay with supported stable assets into the phase-selected destination path.
Value Flow
How value moves through the protocol
The protocol separates purchase payment, unit staking, distribution funding, and claim execution into explicit on-chain paths.
Mental Model
Units stake
Protocol units move from wallet holding into staked claim state.
Claims execute
Staked units claim funded assets through explicit vault paths.
Purchase
Protocol Unit Purchase Flow
Payment enters the Sale Vault before the Pool Routing Phase, then routes to the Distribution Pool during that phase so buy-side flow becomes visible in participant claim paths. Pool Routing Phase activates when total sold reaches 200,000 ETL units (200 x weekly release). This is 20% of total protocol-unit supply.
Buyer Wallet
Pays with USDC or USDT for a unit purchase.
Sale Vault / Distribution Pool
Buy-payment destination changes by phase: early sale routing -> Sale Vault, pool-routing phase -> Distribution Pool.
Participant Wallet
Receives the purchased protocol units.
Activation
Claim Activation Flow
Purchased units move from wallet holding into the claim path through staking.
Participant Wallet
Holds purchased protocol units before staking.
Claim Stake Escrow
Tracks pending and staked claim units.
Staked Claim Position
Only staked units participate in claims.
Funding
Distribution Funding Flow
External revenue, partner assets, or protocol-routed value can fund distribution assets.
External Project / Funding
Funds stablecoins, partner tokens, or incentive assets.
Distribution Pool
Holds assets intended for participant claims.
Funded Claim Pool
Makes funded assets available for the period.
Claim
Claim Execution Flow
Claims execute only when claim-ready stake and funded assets align for the selected asset.
Claim-Ready Stake
Determines whether the wallet can participate in the claim path.
Distribution Pool
Supplies the selected funded asset.
Recipient Token Account
Receives the claimed distribution asset.
Example Scenario
From purchase to claim
This example follows one simple end-to-end path through the protocol, connecting purchase, stake, claim readiness, and claim into a single lifecycle.
Step 01
Buy 1 unit
A participant pays with USDC or USDT. Payment routes to the Sale Vault before the Pool Routing Phase and to the Distribution Pool during that phase. The participant receives 1 ETL unit.
Step 02
Stake the unit
The wallet moves the unit into claim stake escrow. The position may begin as pending before it becomes claim-ready.
Step 03
Wait until claim-ready
Once the position is claim-ready for the period, the wallet can participate in claims.
Step 04
Claim a funded asset
If the selected distribution pool account is funded, the wallet can claim the supported asset into its recipient token account.
Key takeaway
Payment, unit ownership, staking, and funded distribution assets are related, but they are not the same thing. The protocol keeps them on separate visible paths so participants can verify state before acting.
Key distinctions
The protocol deliberately separates payment, unit position, stake state, and funded claim assets so each part of the lifecycle can be inspected independently.
Payment is separate from share position
Payment assets route by phase (Sale Vault before the Pool Routing Phase, Distribution Pool during that phase), while SHARE is issued as the position unit and buy flow can become visible for participant claims.
Units are not automatically claim-ready
Wallet-held units must move through staking before they participate in distributions.
Funding is separate from entitlement
Distribution assets must be funded before staked participants can claim them.

Distribution funding may include stablecoins, partner tokens, and ecosystem incentive assets. Claim readiness still depends on staked units for the current period, not on the asset type itself.
