Rewards Come From?

While tiers work the same everywhere, the reward source depends on the market type.

Brand-Led Roast Markets

  • Rewards are funded by a brand-sponsored reward pool
  • The pool size is known upfront
  • Rewards are distributed once, when the market ends
  • Earnings stop after distribution
Performance tiers determine how the sponsored pool is split.

Community-Led Roast Markets

  • There is no upfront reward pool
  • A Culture Coin is forged only once the Heat Threshold is crossed
  • Rewards come from ongoing trading fees generated by the Culture Coin
  • Earnings continue as long as the market generates volume
Performance tiers determine how generated fees are distributed at each allocation interval.
No volume means no fees.No fees means no rewards.
