Hold $MARLIN. Get paid in the top stock, every Friday.

Every $MARLIN trade carries a 3% protocol fee, and 2.75% of it is auto-rotated into protocol-owned liquidity on the highest-volume tokenized-stock pools. J.T. Marlin owns those LP positions and never unwinds the principal, so the book only grows.

Those positions earn trading fees around the clock. 80% of the LP fees the book earns is distributed to $MARLIN holders once a week. The desk retains the other 20%, reinvested to keep scaling the book, plus 100% of the principal. As the book grows, the weekly distribution can grow with it.

Rewards are paid in the top-ranked stock token of the week (the #1 name on the Marlin Score board that week), sent directly to your wallet. Instead of a stablecoin, you receive the tokenized stock the desk rates highest, so you hold the week's strongest name and can keep it, sell it, or redeploy it however you like.

Payouts go out every Friday at 18:00 UTC (2:00 PM US Eastern while Eastern is on daylight time). The time is quoted in UTC so it is unambiguous worldwide. Each weekly payout covers the fees the book collected over the prior week (Friday to Friday), converted into that week's top stock and distributed to holders.

The weekly distribution is split pro-rata by balance: your share equals your $MARLINbalance divided by the total eligible supply, applied to that week's payout.

In plain terms: the more $MARLIN you hold, the larger your slice. Top holders earn the biggest payouts, and every eligible wallet is paid in proportion to what it holds. Your balance is measured at the Friday payout snapshot, so holding through the full Friday-to-Friday cycle to the 18:00 UTC boundary is what counts.

Rewards go to holder wallets only. Contract addresses (liquidity pools, the desk, bridges, and other non-holder contracts) are excluded from the distribution so the yield flows to real holders rather than back into infrastructure.

You hold $MARLIN in your own self-custodied wallet. There is no registration, no allowlist, and no minimum beyond holding a non-dust balance at the snapshot.

The payout is not printed and it is not a subsidy. It is real trading-fee revenue from the protocol-owned LP book. The agent monitors pools in real time and repositions liquidity toward whichever tokenized-stock pool is generating the most fees, including stock pools that spike when a meme token starts trading against them.

Because the principal is never handed out and the desk reinvests its 20% share, the book compounds. A bigger book earns more fees, which means a bigger weekly payout to holders over time.

This keeps working even if $MARLIN trading goes quiet. The liquidity already in the book keeps earning from pool activity, and as the desk reinvests, the LP positions grow over time and the payouts grow with them, with or without new $MARLIN volume. See the live book on the $MARLIN page.

There is no staking, no locking, and no claim step. You do not deposit your $MARLIN anywhere or sign a transaction to receive rewards. Hold the token in your wallet and the payout arrives on its own every Friday at 18:00 UTC.

Never sign a transaction or connect to a site that claims you must "claim" or "unlock" $MARLIN rewards. That is not how this works, and it is a common scam pattern. Rewards are pushed to you; you never have to reach out for them.
