How XClaim works.

Overview

XClaim turns a public post into a coin in about twenty seconds. One post can be claimed exactly once, by whoever gets there first, and from that moment the account that wrote the post is paid out of every trade — whether or not they ever find out.

The name is the verb: to exclaim is to cry out, and a post is somebody crying out. The product gives that a market, and gives the person who cried out a share of it.

• One post, one coin. The registry refuses a second claim on the same post id, and quotes and reposts resolve to the original.
• The author is meant to be paid by default, thirty percent of the creator tax. The splitter that enforces it is not deployed yet, so today every coin's page shows where its fees actually go.
• Every coin carries a permanent source document: the original post, its author, its timestamp.
• No custody, ever. No escrow, no pooled buy, no principal held by us at any point.

$CLAIM is live. The contract address is published on the front page and in Official channels. Treat any address from anywhere else as not ours.

How a claim works

Claiming happens where you already scroll, through a browser extension. Nothing is added to the page until your cursor is over a post.

• Scroll — an ordinary day in the feed. A post is going off.
• Hover — a small Claim appears in that post's action row. On hover only; never a permanent badge or an overlay.
• Open — the side panel opens already filled from the post: name, a symbol suggestion, the image, a description. The origin is locked and cannot be edited by anyone, including us.
• Claim — one transaction to the chain's launchpad. Fixed supply, bonding curve, tradable from block one.
• Lock — back in the feed, that post now wears its market. It can never be claimed again, by anybody.

If a post is already claimed, the action row shows its live market instead, and clicking it opens the coin's page.

The lock

The lock is the whole product. Without it this would be a launchpad with a nicer form.

Quote-posts and reposts resolve to the original post id, so the lock cannot be laundered by quoting around it.

The split

Every trade pays a creator tax of 1–5%, chosen by the claimer at the moment of the claim and immutable afterwards. A fee recipient is recorded at the claim and is public. The splitter that will route it automatically is not deployed yet, so today the split below is the design, not yet the enforcement:

The protocol's slice falls as the claimer holds more of the token, and the claimer keeps the difference. The author's thirty percent never moves.

Withdrawals are permissionless: anyone may trigger a payout to the rightful address, so nobody's balance can be held hostage — including by us.

For authors

If somebody claimed one of your posts, its page and your author card show it, and show where that coin's fees actually go. You can look without a wallet. The automatic author share is not deployed yet, so nothing is accruing to you today, and this page will say so until it is.

Three doors

• Claim — verify your handle, withdraw the balance, done. No relationship with the coin is required.
• Decline — refuse the money. Your slice routes to the buyback instead, and the coin's page says so permanently.
• Adopt — take the balance and put your name on the coin's page as its acknowledged origin.

The lapse

A balance left untouched for 90 days routes to the buyback. The countdown is public on the coin's page from day one.

The opt-out

Verify your handle and you can switch claiming off for everything you have ever posted and will post. It is enforced in the extension, where the affordance never renders, and in the registry, where a claim is rejected before it reaches the launchpad. There is no appeal process on our side, because we should not be the ones deciding whose refusal is valid.

Coins that already exist are not unwound — the chain does not forget. From the moment you opt out, their author slice routes to the buyback.

Six surfaces

The Miss Report

Once a day: the claimable posts that passed your screen, what you claimed, and what others made from the ones you did not. Scored on your own machine.

The Author Card

A public page for any handle: the coins born from their posts, the combined market size, the balance waiting and the days before it lapses.

The Archive

At the moment of a claim, the post's text and media are copied to permanent storage. If the original disappears, the coin's page says so plainly and keeps the record. A verified author may request redaction; the page then reads that it was redacted at their request.

Standing Orders

A flat fee holds the first claim on an account's next post for twenty-four hours. The fee is consumed on purchase, never escrowed, so there is no principal for anyone to hold.

The Consignment Desk

A verified author lists posts from their own history as open to claim, on terms they set: a minimum creator tax, and a share above the default thirty percent if they want one.

Provenance Lookup

Paste any token address and get its source document. It works on coins that are not ours, which is the point: a coin either has a source document or it does not.

What is written on-chain

Two of those rows carry the business. The website field is rendered as a button by every chart reader on the chain, so every coin is a permanent door back to its source. And the fee recipient is recorded at birth and public, so anyone can see where a coin's fees go without asking us. Making that recipient a splitter that pays the author automatically is the work in front of us.

$CLAIM

The token buys speed and margin. It never gates the product: claiming, the board, author cards, the lookup and the Miss Report are free, with no token at all.

What the token may never do

• Gate the ability to claim
• Reduce the author's thirty percent
• Buy an exemption from the launch-window tax
• Hold anybody's principal

Tokenomics

Supply reduction

• A scheduled buyback from the protocol's slice, published as a ledger before it executes
• Every author slice that lapses after 90 days
• Every author slice that is actively declined
• Standing Order fees, in full

Lapsed slices feed the buyback rather than our revenue on purpose. That rule removes our incentive to keep authors uninformed.

Architecture and contracts

Three layers: a browser extension, the chain, and the web. The database is an index over chain data — if it were deleted entirely, every claim would still be provable.

XClaimRegistry

One write per post id hash, reverting on a repeat. It stores hashes, so it holds no handles. Opt-outs are checked here before a claim reaches the launchpad.

XClaimSplitter

Deployed per coin and set as the fee recipient at birth. Splits the creator tax, lets anyone trigger a payout to the rightful address, routes declined and lapsed slices to the buyback.

XClaimStanding

Sells first-claim rights on an account's next post. The fee is consumed on purchase. It holds no principal, so there is nothing to run away with.

Launchpad parameters, read off the deployed factory

An exemption list is how a launchpad quietly front-runs its own users. The only credible way to promise we do not is to call the function that cannot.

Privacy

The extension reads the page you already have open. It never writes, never posts, and never acts on your account.

The Miss Report is the only surface that touches what a person reads, so it carries the strictest rule in the system:

• Velocity scoring runs locally, in the extension.
• The only thing that ever leaves the machine is a list of post ids — public identifiers, already public.
• No content, no dwell time, no reading order, no profile.
• Switching the report off disables the local collection too, not just the display.
• The extension is open source and its network calls are inspectable by anyone who opens the developer tools.

Anti-gaming

• Self-claims are labelled, not blocked, and the board filters them by default. Blocking them is unenforceable, and some of the best coins will be somebody launching their own bit.
• The board ranks on volume, never on claim count. Flooding it moves no ranking anywhere.
• Rate limits per wallet rise with live rate: claimers whose coins trade earn more claims.
• Quotes and reposts resolve to the original post id.
• The author opt-out is absolute.
• The not-affiliated line sits above the fold on every coin page, permanently.

Roadmap

The token launches in the second phase, not the first, so that it is priced on a working product rather than on a promise.

FAQ

Do I need the author's permission to claim a post?

No. The author is paid by default, can collect, decline or adopt the balance, and can switch claiming off for all of their posts with no appeal on our side.

Can the same post be claimed twice?

No. The registry refuses a second claim on the same post id, and quotes and reposts resolve to the original.

What happens if the original post is deleted?

The coin's page keeps the archived copy and says plainly that the origin was removed. A verified author may ask for the archived copy to be redacted, and the page records that too.

Does XClaim ever hold my money?

No. There is no escrow, no pooled buy and no custody. Fees for Standing Orders are consumed on purchase rather than held.

Is the extension watching what I read?

It reads the page you have open so it can show the Claim affordance. The Miss Report is scored on your own machine, and only public post ids are ever sent.

When does the token launch, and where is the contract address?

It has launched. The address is in the box on the home page and in Official channels, and it appeared there first. Treat any address from anywhere else as not ours.

Which chain is this on?

Robinhood Chain, an EVM chain with chainId 4663. Network fees are paid in ETH.

Is XClaim affiliated with any social network?

No. Coins are community-launched, and nothing here is endorsed by or connected to any social network, brokerage, exchange, or any person whose posts are used as the origin of a token.
