Trading collects a fee
Every trade pays a protocol fee. That fee is the only source of funds in this design. No bonds, no external deposits, no promises against future supply.
Every epoch, trading fees collected by the protocol fund the rebase. Your balance grows because the treasury took something in, not because the supply printed a number.
The Epoch Lab below runs on figures you set yourself. Protocol figures publish to the Observatory as the contracts go live.
Saturn launches on pons.family. The address publishes here the moment it exists, and on the official account at the same time.
Verify before you buy. The only addresses we publish are the one on this page and the one on @SaturnRebase. If the two do not match exactly, character for character, it is not Saturn.
A rebase is only as real as what funds it. Saturn's comes from one place, and the path is short enough to check.
Every trade pays a protocol fee. That fee is the only source of funds in this design. No bonds, no external deposits, no promises against future supply.
Fees accumulate in a treasury address that anyone can read on the explorer. Its balance is the ceiling on what the next rebase can distribute.
At the end of each epoch, what the treasury collected is distributed across staked balances. One factor, applied to everyone staked, recorded on chain.
By design, stakers gain share and holders who don't stake are diluted by exactly that amount. A fee-backed rebase moves ownership toward the people funding the pool, it doesn't create value out of nothing. The Lab below shows both sides of that trade.
Set your stake, the staked pool, and what the treasury distributes each epoch. The page does the arithmetic on your numbers and nothing else.
The model runs on the figures you set, holding the staked pool constant. Live epochs publish their own numbers to the Observatory, epoch by epoch.
The panel that makes the claim checkable. Each figure reads from the chain the moment the contracts are published. Until then it says so.
Robinhood Chain · id 4663. Each row reads straight from the chain and links to the explorer the moment its contract is live.
Where the protocol stands today, and what lands next.
Plain answers, including the unflattering ones.
Your balance changes without you doing anything. A contract applies one factor to every staked balance at the end of an epoch. You don't claim it; the number in your wallet is simply larger the next time you look.
Only if something funded it. If new units arrive with nothing behind them, the balance grows and the value per unit falls to match. That's why the source of funds is the first section of this site and not the last.
Traders, through protocol fees. Not new buyers, not a bond, not a promise about future emissions.
You are diluted each epoch by the amount distributed to stakers. The Lab shows this directly, the unstaked bar doesn't move while the staked one grows.
Fees collected over the epoch, divided across staked balances. It moves with trading volume rather than a fixed promise, and every epoch publishes what it actually distributed.
At deployment. The contract address publishes here and on the official account at the same moment, so check one against the other before you interact with any address claiming to be Saturn.
