Holding pays every day you hold. It is the quietest way to earn: once the position exists, it needs nothing from you.

​
Scored per chain, not on one balance

This is the rule that surprises people. Holding is not scored on your combined balance across everything you own. Wallets are summed within a chain. The curve then runs on each chain separately, and the results are added. Holding on Ethereum earns its own p8ints, holding on Solana earns its own, and they stack.

​
The minimum

A chain needs at least 5 CTM to score. Below that it earns nothing on that chain, and it does not keep your streak alive either. The same floor gates scoring and the commitment ladder.

​
One read a day

Holding and liquidity are read once a day. A single job runs every 24 hours and reads every registered wallet, and the balance it finds is the balance your day is scored on. The same reading decides your streak: a position in place at or above its minimum keeps the day alive. One read, one balance, one accrual per category per day. A position opened after the day’s read scores from the next day, not the current one.

​
Token quantity, not dollars

Season 0 scores holding in $CTM token quantity. No price feed is involved. A price move during the season does not change anyone’s p8ints, in either direction.

​
One token, one category

In the day’s reading, each $CTM token is scored in exactly one category: held in a wallet it scores as holding, pooled it scores as liquidity, staked it scores as staking. This includes LP tokens and liquid staking derivatives. Nothing is counted twice.
