May 2026 Rewards · 5,000 CENTS

CENTS (ID:3353050853)

Cents is a purpose-built digital financial product — not a stablecoin. Its supply adjusts automatically in response to market activity. Increases in demand expand supply and bring additional value into the system, while reductions in demand return supply to reserves, lowering total circulation. This mechanism keeps Cents calibrated near its operational reference price of one cent.

Monthly supply unlocks are strictly capped at 5,000 CENTS. Of that, 3,000 CENTS are distributed as rewards to holders, while 2,000 CENTS are allocated to operational reserves. This deliberate scarcity means new circulating supply is minimal — and when sustained demand outpaces that limited emission, it creates the conditions for the upper price band to be tested and broken, opening genuine price discovery above the reference constant.

Holding Cents entitles participants to automatic reward distributions — no staking requirements, lockups, or technical complexity. Liquidity pools are excluded. Rewards are funded by system-generated profits and distributed monthly. January 2026 marks the first reward month.

To hold CENTS, you'll need an Algorand-based wallet. Choose from these recommended options:

Haystack is beginner-friendly. Pera is a full-featured Algorand wallet.

💰

Automatic Rewards

Hold CENTS and automatically receive your share of the 3,000 CENTS distributed to holders each month. No action required from you.

🔒

Limited Emissions

Only 5,000 CENTS are unlocked per month. 3,000 go directly to holders as rewards; 2,000 are held in operational reserves. New circulating supply stays tightly controlled.

📈

Price Discovery Potential

When demand consistently outpaces the capped monthly emission, buying pressure can push CENTS through its upper band, enabling genuine price discovery above the reference constant.

📊

Fair Distribution

Your share is calculated based on your average daily holdings throughout the month — proportional and transparent.

🔓

No Registration

Rewards go to ALL CENTS holders automatically. No registration, staking, or lockups. LPs are excluded.

Algorand Speed

Built on Algorand for near-instant transactions, minimal fees, and top-class user experience.

How Rewards Work

01

Daily Snapshots

Every day the system scans the blockchain and records how many CENTS each address holds.

02

Monthly Calculation

At the end of each month, your average daily holdings are compared to total CENTS in circulation. This ensures fairness regardless of when you acquired your position.

03

Capped Unlock — 5,000 CENTS

Each month, exactly 5,000 CENTS are unlocked — no more. 3,000 CENTS are distributed proportionally to holders; 2,000 CENTS go to operational reserves. This split keeps new circulating supply minimal while sustaining the system, supporting upward price pressure when demand is strong.

04

Directly to Account

CENTS are sent directly to your wallet. No claiming, no gas fees, no complications — just rewards appearing in your balance.

CENTS Whitepaper

1. Introduction

CENTS is a programmable liquidity instrument on Algorand, calibrated around an operational reference point of $0.01.

Unlike tokens that move freely with market sentiment, CENTS' price remains anchored to its reference constant while its liquidity moves — and monthly new supply is strictly capped at 5,000 CENTS.

Passive Holding. Active Participation.

The system dynamically manages a CENTS/USDC liquidity structure to maintain operational calibration around the reference constant while enabling structured volatility bands, automatic reward distribution, and the possibility of genuine price discovery when demand is sustained.

2. Design Philosophy

CENTS is built on five principles:

  • Operational Anchoring — $0.01 serves as the system's calibration constant.
  • Passive Participation — Ownership automatically contributes capital to the liquidity layer.
  • Liquidity Moves, Price Stays — Market activity is absorbed by the system's liquidity, not by the token price — unless demand persistently exceeds supply.
  • Structured Volatility — Defined discount and premium corridors create engineered participation zones.
  • Controlled Emission — A hard monthly unlock of 5,000 CENTS (3,000 to holders, 2,000 to reserves) ensures new circulating supply remains minimal, concentrating rewards and preserving scarcity.

3. The $0.01 Reference Constant

The $0.01 reference is the operational midpoint around which liquidity is dynamically adjusted. It is:

  • Not a redemption promise
  • Not a guaranteed peg
  • Not a fixed backing claim

It is the system's calibration target — a floor from which price can move upward when conditions support it.

4. Liquidity Architecture

Purchasing CENTS:

  • USDC enters the CENTS/USDC liquidity pool
  • Liquidity is actively managed around the reference constant
  • Buyers automatically become participants in the liquidity engine

Liquidity moves — price stays. Until demand makes it move.

5. Volatility Structuring & Price Discovery

These are engineered corridors around the reference constant. However, because only 3,000 CENTS enter holder circulation each month (with 2,000 held in reserves), sustained buying demand can easily outpace new supply. When that occurs, the upper band becomes a zone of genuine price discovery — not just an engineered ceiling — allowing CENTS to trade above its reference constant.

Limited emission is therefore not just a reward mechanic — it is a structural catalyst for price discovery.

6. Rewards Distribution

Each month, exactly 5,000 CENTS are unlocked — split as follows:

  • 3,000 CENTS — distributed proportionally to all holders
  • 2,000 CENTS — allocated to operational reserves

Holder rewards are sent directly to wallets with no staking contracts, no lockups, and no claims required. The reserve allocation sustains system operations without expanding holder-side circulating supply beyond 3,000 CENTS per cycle.

Ownership = participation. Scarcity = opportunity.

7. System Classification

CENTS is a self-adjusting liquidity instrument calibrated to a defined monetary constant, merging:

  • Liquidity provisioning
  • Market making
  • Capital lending
  • Token ownership
  • Controlled-emission reward distribution

Into one programmable financial primitive — where scarcity and participation converge.

Passive Holding. Active Participation. Limited Supply. Real Price Discovery.
