how ASH pays
ASH pays in USDC into your dust balance. it happens every day and you press nothing.
the day
| when | what happens |
|---|---|
| all day | your losses and your win fees of the day are tallied |
| 00:00 UTC | the day closes |
| about a minute later | a keeper rolls the closed day: your net fees of that day become ASH |
| right after the roll | payday: a keeper credits the USDC due to every holder who is owed at least $0.01 |
| any time you trade | your own transaction also pulls in what you are owed, so a trader sees it right away |
the keepers are permissionless. anyone can run one, and each credit can only add to the balance of the wallet it is for.
how a fee becomes your payday
- a fee is paid on a win or a loss. the ASH part of it goes into the ASH pool.
- the pool is pushed out to ASH holders as a share per unit of ASH. a keeper does this, and anyone can.
- your ASH is counted from the day it rolled. fees that arrive after that add to what you are owed in proportion to your share.
- the payday moves what you are owed into your balance, out of money the program already holds for ASH holders.
ASH from today's losses counts after tonight's roll. the ASH screen shows it as pending today.
what can slow it down
- nobody holds ASH yet. until there is at least 1 ASH in the whole pool, the fees wait in the pool. the first losses share them.
- the payout line is long. while the house owes winners in the line, the house overflow stops flowing. your ASH keeps counting and new USDC pauses until the line clears. see the house and the line.
- the network is busy. the ASH screen can be a few seconds behind the chain and says so.
- a wallet from before ASH. an old devnet wallet joins ASH with its next deposit. new wallets are ready from the start.
where to watch it
- the ASH screen, key K. the USDC due, your ASH, today's pending ASH, your share, the multiplier now and the day it drops, and how much was paid to every 1,000 ASH over the last 24 hours.
- the board, key L. the ASH tab ranks wallets by ASH held and shows what ASH paid them in the window. ranges are 24H, 7D and ALL.
- the pill in the header counts ASH collected, and each lost bet shows a +N ASH line.
- live numbers. dust.bid/live has the pot, the line and the house numbers.
your USDC is yours
the USDC lands in your dust balance, the same balance you bet from. withdraw it like any other balance. see cash in and out.
OG dust on the devnet beta
if you farmed $DUST on the devnet beta before the switch, it shows on the ASH screen as OG dust. you can unstake it and claim what it was owed. nothing new can be staked. it does not carry over to mainnet.
