The Founders Fee Pool
0.2% of every mainnet trade goes to the pool in years 1–2, 0.1% in years 3–4. Half is split across active pass shares, half across epoch points (2 years). Claims are monthly, in zkLTC. The clock starts at the first Lit mainnet deploy, on any chain.
| Mainnet volume / day | To the pool / day | To pass holders / year |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $20 | $3,650 |
| $50,000 | $100 | $18,250 |
| $200,000 | $400 | $73,000 |
| $1,000,000 | $2,000 | $365,000 |

How it works
- One ERC-721 on Arbitrum One, verified on Arbiscan. The tier lives in the token, so perks follow the pass if you sell it.
- Prices are set in USD and paid in ETH at the Chainlink ETH/USD rate, or in USDC. Overpayment is refunded in the same transaction.
- Pool payouts are monthly merkle claims in zkLTC: the snapshot of pass holders and epoch points is published, you claim on chain.
Questions
What if mainnet slips?
Every term counts from the first Lit mainnet deploy, not from mint. A later mainnet does not shorten your years.
What if LitVM never ships?
“Mainnet” means the first Lit mainnet on any chain. The curve moves to another EVM in a day, and the pool starts there.
Can I get a refund?
No. Mints are final. The pass is an ERC-721: you can sell it, and the perks go with it.
Why Arbitrum One and not LitVM?
The LitVM testnet has no real money. Arbitrum is where LitVM testers already hold ETH, and gas is cents.
Can I pay in LTC?
Planned as the next step after the Arbitrum One mint: a deposit address per buyer, the pass is minted to your EVM address once the LTC lands.
Hall of Founders
Founders appear here as passes are minted. Genesis first, then Silver, then Lite.
