Referral & Leaderboard Payments
Two reward systems run inside the reactor core. Both are paid from the radiation purchase fee and from deposit volume — never from a treasury subsidy.The referral tree — 4 levels
Every new depositor can bind a referrer (the address must have deposited before). Referrers earn on every downline radiation purchase, paid instantly at deposit time:
Total referral outflow: 11% of each deposit’s radiation — funded entirely by the
10% radiation purchase fee plus the referral mechanics of the curve (the tree is paid
in radiation units, which the referee converts at their own pace).
The binding is one-shot and permanent:
- The referrer must be an existing depositor — no sybil self-referrals from fresh wallets.
- Binding can also happen lazily on
condenseMatter(ref). - Referral rewards land as radiation in the referrer’s balance
(
claimedRadiation[parent] += c), compounding through the normal node mechanics.
Daily leaderboard — top 4 depositors
- Ranking is by largest single-day deposit per wallet (
userDailyDeposits). - Distributed automatically at the first interaction after the UTC-day rollover
(
distributeDailyRewards()runs inside every deposit/compound/extract). - Winners are paid directly (
payTopReward) — no claim transaction, nothing to forget.
Weekly leaderboard — top 4 depositors

Worked example
Week with 100 ETH total deposit volume. Top 4 weekly depositors:
Plus, if the #1 wallet was referred by someone, that referrer earned 5% of the winner’s
radiation on every deposit — before the leaderboard even pays.
