How Sent works

Anyone launches a token on Volta, Ascend or Montra through Sent and names a creator account on X, Twitch or fomo. The token's creator fees go to that account's vault, and 80% of them is sent to the creator's wallet automatically. Nobody has to sign up to be named, and nobody claims or signs anything to be paid.

1. Overview

A launch names a creator: an X account, a Twitch channel or a fomo trader. Every creator account has its own vault, whose address is known before the vault exists, so a token can name someone who has never heard of Sent. The launchpad pays the token's creator fees to that address.

When fees reach the vault, 80% is credited to the creator and 20% goes to the Sent treasury. The creator signs in with the named account once and pastes the wallet that should receive the fees; from then on Sent sends their share there every few minutes. fomo traders are paid to the wallet they trade with, with no sign-in at all. Sent holds the vault balances until they are sent and can move them; section 14 says exactly what that means.

1. 1
   Launch and name a creator

   On the launch page, pick a launchpad, the token and a creator account. Sent fills in the account's vault as the creator-fee recipient.
2. 2
   Fees build up

   Every trade pays a fee. Each launchpad pays the creator side to the vault in its own way and on its own schedule (sections 4 to 6).
3. 3
   Fees are pulled and split

   Sent pulls the creator fees into the vault on a schedule. Each pull credits 80% to the creator and sends 20% to the treasury.
4. 4
   The creator gets paid

   They sign in once on the Get paid page and set a payout wallet. Every few minutes, their share is sent there. fomo traders are paid without signing in.

2. Platforms

A creator is an account on a platform. The creator proves the account is theirs by signing in with it, and gives the address that should receive the fees; nothing else is asked. Today that is X or Twitch; fomo traders are paid without signing in.

3. Launchpads

Sent launches through three launchpads. They all trade in Uniswap v4 pools paired with HYPE, USDC or KNTQ, and they all let a launch name who receives the creator fees, but they differ in how much of the fee reaches the creator and when. Pick the one whose rules suit the token. Volta is the default.

VoltaAirdrop Ascend Montra

Each launchpad's own documentation has the full rules: Volta, Ascend, Montra.

4. Volta

On Volta the creator of a launch is whoever holds its creator NFT. Sent names the creator's vault as the launch's creator, so the NFT is minted to the vault, and the vault receives the creator side of the fees.

Example: with a 2% swap fee and a launcher split of 100% to the creator, $1,000 of trading pays $20 in fees. Once Volta pays them out in the pair asset, it keeps $6 and $14 reaches the vault: the creator is credited $11.20 and the Sent treasury $2.80.

5. Ascend

On Ascend every pool has its own creator escrow, and the launch names who the escrow pays. Sent names the creator's vault. Ascend is built to pay creators of tokens that last, so it holds most of the creator fees back until the token proves itself:

Ascend lets a launch opt in to community takeovers, which can hand a pool's fees to another recipient by vote. Sent launches with takeovers off and does not track a launch that has them on, because its fees could leave the creator's vault.

Forfeited fees never reach the vault, and Sent cannot recover them. The figures above are Ascend's rules at the time of writing; Ascend can change them, so check its docs before launching.

6. Montra

On Montra a launch names its fee recipients. Sent names the creator's vault as the only recipient, with the whole creator share.

7. The creator's vault

Every creator account has one vault, shared by every token that names it, on every launchpad. Its address is computed from the account's platform and stable id (an X numeric id, a Twitch channel id, a fomo user id), so renaming the account changes nothing, and the address is known before the vault is deployed.

That is what lets a token name a creator who has never visited Sent: the launchpad pays the address straight away, and Sent deploys the vault when there is something to pull. Fees earned before then wait at the launchpad under the vault's address.

8. Naming the creator

The vault address already decides who gets paid. A line in the token's description tells everyone else. The launch page adds it for you:

Fees to @yourhandle via Sent
Fees to twitch:channel via Sent
Fees to fomo:handle via Sent

The creator does not need to agree, know in advance, or hold a wallet. A token can be launched for someone, and the first they hear of it is a balance waiting in their name.

9. The 80/20 split

Every pull into a vault divides the same way.

10. How fees reach the vault

Creator fees do not arrive in the vault on every trade. They collect at the launchpad (Volta's fee escrow, Ascend's pool escrow, Montra's hook) until somebody pulls them. A pull is open to anyone and can only move fees into the vault. Sent runs pulls on a schedule for every vault with something worth moving, because pulling on every trade would spend more in gas than a quiet token earns.

Each pull is split on the spot (section 9), and the creator's part is ready to send immediately. A pull that fails changes nothing: the fees stay at the launchpad until the next one.

11. Getting paid

If a token has named your account, the fees are already building up in your name. You do one thing, once.

1. 1
   Sign in with the account

   Open the Get paid page and sign in with the account the token named, on X or Twitch. Sign-in runs through Privy and only proves the account is yours: no wallet is created for you.
2. 2
   Set your payout wallet

   Paste an EVM address you control on Elysium. Sent checks it is a wallet, not a contract or one of its own addresses, and stores it. It can be set once from the page.
3. 3
   Get paid automatically

   Every few minutes Sent pulls what is due and sends your share to that wallet, once an asset's share is worth at least $5. You never claim or sign anything.

Money you receive may be taxable to you. Receiving it does not make you a customer of Sent or a promoter of the token that named you.

12. fomo: no sign-in at all

fomo traders keep their wallet inside the fomo app and have no account to sign in with here, so Sent uses the wallet they trade with as their payout wallet. Like every vault, theirs pays out through the Sent pusher contract, every few minutes once the share is worth $5 or more. Like everyone, they are paid in USDC.

Before anything is sent, the wallet is checked against the trader's fomo account. If the check fails, the account sits on hold, the reason shows on its profile page, and the fees stay in the vault. Sent's owner key can change the wallet a fomo vault pays to. A fomo trader who would rather not be paid can opt out (section 16).

13. Revenue and $SENT

Sent earns its 20% of every pull (section 9). That cut does not go to a wallet: it goes to Sent's buyback contract, which also collects the creator fees of $SENT, Sent's own token. $SENT (Sent.family) is launched on Volta paired with VOLTA, naming Sent's X account @SentElysium, with all of its creator side going to that account's vault; the buyback contract is that vault's beneficiary and collects it directly.

The figures, every buyback and the addresses are on the Revenue page.

14. Custody and upgrades

Sent holds custody of vault balances. A vault is a contract Sent deployed and controls. Its only beneficiary is the Sent pusher contract, which sends the creator share to the creator's payout wallet; until it is sent, the balance is in Sent's hands, and the rules can change. Specifically:

Why: so Sent can pay creators in ways a contract alone cannot, such as an off-ramp to their platform account, and add launchpads without changing anyone's vault address. What it means for you: a balance in a vault is held by Sent on the creator's behalf, not locked away from Sent, until it is sent to your wallet. Setting a payout wallet keeps that time short. The vault factory is at 0xCdb47a76aA80BC921D228E60D874d8068D33F8f3. The contracts have unit and fork tests and no third-party audit yet. The terms and disclosures say the same.

15. Can a launch's fees be moved?

Not by the launcher and not by the creator. Once a launch names a vault, the vault holds the launch's creator rights (the Volta creator NFT, the Ascend escrow's recipient, the Montra recipient), and the vault has no function to hand them on. Only Sent's owner key can move them (section 14). It works the other way too: whoever holds a Volta launch's creator NFT can send it to a creator's vault, and the launch's future creator fees go to that creator.

16. Opting out

Nobody can stop a token from naming an account, but you can ask Sent to leave yours out. Open the opt-out page, sign in with the account, and send the request, or write to @SentElysium. Within 7 days your account comes off the site, goes on a do-not-pay list, and Sent stops pulling fees for tokens that name it. Payouts stop from the next cycle. Anything already credited to you stays yours; ask for it to be paid.
