The simple version

Hold it. It pays you. That is basically it.

No staking, no wrapping, no buttons to babysit. You buy $SPHERE, you hold it, and the trades pay you a cut. Here is the whole thing in plain words. The deeper, technical version lives in the whitepaper.

The idea

A whole token is an orb

Hold one whole $SPHERE and you automatically get one orb. Hold three, you get three. Hold 2.7 and you get 2 orbs and a leftover bit.

Each orb is a one-of-one piece of art, and it is also a share of the trading pool. So when you hold the token, you already own a piece of the pool. You did not have to set anything up.

From start to finish

The life of an orb

1

It appears

Buy your first whole $SPHERE and an orb shows up in your wallet, with its own look. You did nothing extra.

2

It earns

Every trade pays a small fee. Your orb collects an equal share of it, quietly, in the background.

3

You collect

Tap collect whenever you want and the money comes to you. Anyone can tap it, but it always pays the owner.

4

Selling burns it

Sell part of an orb and it is gone for good. The money it earned is saved for you, but the art is retired forever.

Where the money comes from

Real fees, split evenly

Every trade pays a fee

Whenever someone buys or sells $SPHERE, a small fee is taken in real ETH. Nothing is printed out of thin air.

Split across the orbs

That fee is shared out equally to every orb. The fewer orbs there are, the bigger each one's slice.

And a second boost

SphereStable, our dollar coin, uses part of its interest to keep buying back $SPHERE. A steady push, on top of the fees.

Hold and earn

Own an orb

Hold $SPHERE, own a piece of the pool, and collect a cut of every trade. Plus a one-of-one piece of art.

Good questions

Questions people ask

Do I have to stake or set anything up?+
No. You just buy $SPHERE and hold it. Every whole one you hold is already an orb and already a share of the pool. There is nothing to stake, wrap, or approve.
How do I get an orb?+
Hold one whole $SPHERE. The moment your balance crosses a whole number, an orb appears in your wallet with its own one-of-one art. There can be at most 5,000, and usually there are fewer.
How do I get paid?+
Every trade pays a small fee in ETH, and your orb collects an equal share of it. You take it out by tapping collect. Anyone can tap it, but the money always goes to the owner, which is you.
What happens if I sell?+
If you sell part of an orb, that orb is burned for good. The money it had earned is saved to a balance you can still withdraw, but the orb and its art are gone forever and never come back.
Why is a smaller count good for me?+
Because the fees are split evenly across all the orbs. If there are fewer orbs, each one gets a bigger slice. People hold odd amounts, so the count usually sits below the 5,000 cap.
What is SphereStable?+
A digital dollar. You put in ETH and get SphereStable worth about a dollar each, backed by USDC and USDT earning interest on Aave. The interest makes each one worth a little more over time, and a slice of it keeps buying and burning $SPHERE.

Hold one token. Let it pay you.
