Where yield comes from
Where yield comes from
Every trade of $ORACLE pays creator rewards. Three quarters go to stakers, one quarter buys back and burns $ORACLE.
Yield Oracle does not print a reward token and does not pay stakers from new stakers. The yield is real fees from real trading of $ORACLE, paid out in SOL.
Creator rewards
pump.fun charges a fee on every trade and passes part of it to the coin's creator. While a coin is on its bonding curve that part is 0.30% of the volume. After it graduates to PumpSwap it starts at 0.30% and falls as the market cap grows, down to 0.05%. For $ORACLE, the creator's part goes to the protocol's rewards wallet.
Collection
Creator rewards pile up on chain until they are claimed. The rewards wallet claims them once a day. Each claim is a transaction, and the site records it as collected with a link to it. The site reads the rewards wallet's history itself: a claim shows up because it happened on chain, not because someone entered it.
The 75/25 split
At the end of each UTC day the site closes the day's round and splits what was collected in it:
| Collected in the round | To stakers, 75% | To buybacks, 25% |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SOL | 0.75 SOL | 0.25 SOL |
| 10 SOL | 7.5 SOL | 2.5 SOL |
| 40 SOL | 30 SOL | 10 SOL |
The stakers' part is divided by weight, as How staking works explains. The buyback part is spent as Buybacks and burns explains.
Payouts
What each wallet earned is paid in SOL from the rewards wallet to the wallet that staked. Every payout is a transaction the site links to on My positions. Amounts under 0.001 SOL carry over to the next payout, so network fees never eat a small reward.
When nobody is eligible
If no stake held the requirement during a round, the stakers' 75% of that round rolls into the next one. Nothing is kept back.
What the protocol keeps
Nothing. Every lamport of $ORACLE's creator rewards goes to stakers or to the buyback and burn.
