Get paid to hold. More to share.
A reward distribution system that rewards conviction, penalizes paper hands, and excludes whales from dominating the pool. Every market-cap milestone pays out to holders who earned it — measured by what they bought, what they kept, and how much of the supply they hold today.
§ 01Overview
$BARS — the Big Ass Reward System — is a Solana token that distributes creator rewards back to holders on a recurring schedule. Every cycle, tokens enter the system from creator-reward claims and trading activity. That pool is split:
- 50% Direct rewards — auto-distributed to eligible holders, weighted by class, tier, and anti-whale status.
- 50% X Share Pool — claimable by holders who reply to official posts on X.
§ 02Why this exists
Most reward tokens distribute equally — every wallet at the snapshot gets the same payout. That model has three problems:
- Sybil-friendly. Splitting one bag across 50 wallets multiplies your payout 50×.
- Whale-dominated. A wallet with 10% of supply takes 10% of every distribution forever.
- No memory. Someone who bought at $1K market cap and held through every dump gets the same reward as a fresh buyer who'll sell tomorrow.
§ 03The weight formula
Your share of each direct distribution is determined by one number — your weight:
Three axes computed independently from on-chain data. They multiply, then your weighted balance (balance × weight) divided by the total weighted balance gives your share.
Max weight: 2.4×. Min non-zero: 0.5×. Two outcomes zero you out: being a Jeet, or holding ≥4% of supply.
§ 04Class — your hold history
Class measures what fraction of your Original Buy-In (OBI) you still hold. OBI is locked at your first qualifying purchase. Class recomputes every cycle.
§ 05Tier — your buy-in size
Tier measures the USD size of your initial qualifying purchase. Tier ratchets up only — once earned, kept forever.
| Tier | Initial Buy-In | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| I | ≥ $50 | 1.2× |
| II | $20 – $50 | 1.1× |
| III | $1 – $20 | 1.0× |
§ 06Anti-whale — supply share
Recomputed every cycle from your balance ÷ total supply. Stateless — tracks where you are right now, not where you've been.
| Status | Supply Share | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | < 0.01% | 1.0× |
| MAX BAGS | 0.01% – 3% | 1.0× |
| 25% Penalty | 3% – 3.5% | 0.75× |
| 50% Penalty | 3.5% – 4% | 0.5× |
| NO BAGS | ≥ 4% | 0× |
§ 07Worked examples
Example 1: The textbook diamond
Wallet A bought $100 at $5K mcap (Tier I), hasn't sold, holds 0.4% of supply.
Class: Diamond · 2.0× · Tier I · 1.2× · MAX BAGS · 1.0× → weight 2.4× (max)
Example 2: The mid-cap entrant
Wallet B bought $25 at $50K mcap (Tier II), sold 30%, holds 0.05% supply.
Class: Silver · 1.0× · Tier II · 1.1× → weight 1.1×
Example 3: The whale who trimmed
Wallet C bought $5,000 at launch (Tier I, Diamond), but sits at 3.4% supply.
2.0× · 1.2× · 0.75× → weight 1.8×. Trim below 3% → 2.4×.
Example 4: The sucker punch
Wallet D panic-sold 60%. → Jeet. weight 0. Re-buying does not restore class. Only the forgiveness portal can.
§ 08Milestones & cycles
Distributions fire on cycles and on milestone events. Schedule:
- Fixed: $10K, $25K, $40K, $55K, $75K, $90K, $100K market cap.
- Recurring: every interval thereafter (operator-configurable).
- Cycle distributions: default 20 minutes.
§ 09The X Share Pool
The 50% half that doesn't go to direct rewards becomes the persistent X Share Pool. Holders reply on X to operator-curated posts and claim a fixed 2% per claim, with cooldowns.
- Visit the share portal and enter your wallet.
- Pick an active post — opens X with the template pre-filled (CA auto-appended).
- Post your reply, paste the URL back.
- Backend verifies. Valid → $BARS lands in your wallet on-chain.
The pool rolls over — nothing unclaimed is ever clawed back. It waits for the next claimer.
§ 10Jeet defense & redemption
Jeet status is permanent by default. The one path back: submit a public apology via the forgiveness portal. Operator reviews. If accepted, class re-evaluates from your current balance.
§ 11How to climb & stay
To reach maximum weight (2.4×):
- Buy ≥$50 in a single transaction to lock in Tier I forever.
- Hold >99% of your bag — stays Diamond.
- Stay below 3% of supply — keeps you in MAX BAGS.
To avoid getting Jeeted:
- Never sell more than 50% of your original buy-in.
- Take profits in moderation — partial trims that leave you above 50% stay Silver.
§ 12Technical architecture
$BARS runs four services: Indexer, Watcher, Distributor, and Operator dashboard. The indexer maintains a SQLite holder table with first-seen, OBI baseline, current/peak balance, class, tier, anti-whale state, and disqualification flags. Distributions are signed by a server-held wallet, broadcast as SPL transfers, logged with tx signatures. See the Reflex Engine deep dive →
§ 13Transparency & trust
- Every distribution is on-chain and verifiable on Solscan.
- Per-cycle breakdowns: who got what, what their weight was, what the supply % was at distribution time.
- Classification logic is fixed in code. No silent overrides.
