The trading home
for how tokens spread
SPOKE is a non-custodial place to discover tokens by how their distribution is actually spreading, trade them in one step, and keep track of your positions. The distribution graph you help build is what makes discovery sharper for everyone.
Plenty of tokens deserve to fail, and plenty do. The good calls get buried with the bad ones, because nobody knows whose conviction to trust: who is behind a call, whether they have been right before, and what they are getting paid. SPOKE fixes that. Every recommendation is tied to its author's onchain history. They earn only when someone actually trades on it, and their cut is public. Discovery then ranks tokens by how they are genuinely spreading, so the loudest voice does not win by default.
The one-line model
A 0.35% fee is charged on a completed trade. Of that fee, 70% goes to the distributor who drove it, 10% to the token's creator, and 20% to the protocol. Most of the protocol's share buys back and burns $SPOKE. The fee and split are immutable constants in Router V1.
The loop
SPOKE is one loop. Each step feeds the next, which is why it works as a home you stay in.
Discover
A multi-lens feed surfaces tokens by how their distribution is spreading: real buyers, retention, and independent voices. Hype does not move the ranking.
Execute
Every recommendation is one tap from a trade that routes to the best venue and settles onchain. You never hand over your funds.
Track
Your home shows what you hold, where each entry came from, and how it has done. It is a complete, non-custodial view.
Improve discovery
Those trades and the holding that follows become the distribution graph. That graph is what the next person's discovery ranks on, so the loop tightens.
Discovery by propagation
Discovery ranks tokens on how their distribution is propagating: unique buyers, holder retention, and how many independent people are behind it. Gross volume is easy to fake, so it never sets the ranking. Wash trading and self-referral are filtered out, so loud but hollow tokens stay down, and every row tells you the specific reason it surfaced.
You read the market through lenses, and each one answers a different question:
Executable Spokes
A Spoke is a recommendation you can act on. It names one distributor and one token, gives the argument for it, and attaches a one-tap buy. It is the onchain record of a promotion, and anyone can open one for any listed token.
- An argument you can act on. Say why the token matters, and optionally attach your verified onchain position so people can see you hold what you are calling. It is skin in the game you cannot fake.
- Disclosure travels with it. The paid-link indicator and the exact fee you earn are generated from the fee constants, and they ride along in the share card. You cannot strip them off.
- Message to tracked Spoke. Turn something you were going to post anyway into an attributable, executable Spoke in one step.
- Fixed binding. Once a Spoke is active, its distributor and token cannot change. That is what lets rewards be attributed without a middleman.
- Gasless and non-custodial. Activation is a signature a relayer can submit, and a Spoke never touches a trader's funds. It only earns a share of the fee on the trades it drives.
Your home
When you connect, SPOKE becomes your non-custodial trading home. Your keys, your coins, your data, all in one place.
- Holdings and live PnL together, including tokens you traded elsewhere, so the picture is complete.
- Every entry is tagged by where it came from: through a specific distributor ("entered via @gMAK, +38%"), from Discover, or off-Spoke.
- Holder credentials, and if you distribute, your distributor earnings. Both sides of the same wallet.
- A trader-rewards meter for the volume you execute on Spoke (see $SPOKE).
The idea is to make staying worth it without ever taking custody. Consolidate your view here and the data works for you instead of scattering across apps.
Selling & positions
Trading is round-trip. From your home or a token's page you can sell part or all of a position. The trade routes to the best venue and settles onchain like a buy. On a sell, the 0.35% fee comes out of the quote-asset you receive, never from the token you are selling, and you always see the net before you confirm.
Propagation
This is the part SPOKE owns. Counting "you drove 214 buyers" throws away the structure that matters. Distribution is a graph, and SPOKE surfaces it in three ways.
Lineage: your reach is a whole subtree
When someone arrives through your link and then opens their own Spoke, their link becomes a branch of yours. Your real reach is the whole subtree you seeded, including the distributors your distributors created.
Early-mover: who moved first, independently
Being the first independent distributor of a token that later spreads is its own signal, separate from depth or volume. SPOKE ranks the independent lineages of a token by when they moved, so early conviction is visible and credited even when it is small.
The people who follow you
A distributor should see who they drive, and not only how many. SPOKE surfaces your actual followers, and highlights whales and repeat followers, the wallets that come back through your links or follow you across tokens. That relationship graph is the asset worth having, and it is yours to see.
Whale and holder identity is shown to the distributor who earned the relationship. Anything sensitive is expressed as a credential ("a whale follows you", "top-N holder") rather than exposing balances.
Distribution signals
Every token has a live health readout, computed from onchain activity and wash-filtered. These are the same signals discovery ranks on.
- Unique buyers and new buyers (24h). Distinct wallets, counted once.
- Attributed volume. What actually routed through Spokes.
- Holders retained. How much of the driven demand stayed instead of dumping.
- Independent publishers. How many unrelated people are behind it.
- Spreading score. A single read on how fast the distribution is growing.
Attribution & rewards
You earn only when your link drives a completed trade. Clicks and follows pay nothing. The router measures attribution onchain at settlement, so rewards can't be faked or double-counted.
Rewards accrue to your Spoke as trades settle, and you can claim them anytime. After a Spoke's first referred trade, it's locked for 72 hours before you can retire it. That stops bait-and-switch.
What counts
On a buy, the fee is charged on the quote leg (what the trader pays in), and only on the amount actually spent at the venue. A partial fill refunds the rest, with no fee. On a sell, the fee comes out of the quote-asset the trader receives. Either way, the reward flows to the Spoke that drove the trade.
Fees & the split
SPOKE charges a single, immutable fee: 0.35% (35 bps) on a completed trade. Every fee splits the same way, fixed in the contract.
| Destination | Share of fee | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Distributor | 70% | The Spoke that drove the trade |
| Creator | 10% | The token's attested creator |
| Protocol | 20% | Buy-and-burn + operations |
The protocol's 20% splits again. About 80% of it funds a buyback that burns $SPOKE, and the rest covers operations and infrastructure. The fee and split are constants in Router V1, and governance cannot change them.
Example: a completed 1,000 USDG buy pays a ~3.50 USDG fee. The distributor gets ~2.45, the creator ~0.35, buy-and-burn ~0.56, and operations ~0.14.
The venue also charges its own fee (a Pons or Gigadex pool is typically around 1%), so the SPOKE fee stacks on top of it. SPOKE always shows the all-in cost, and it quotes the venue that nets you the most after everything.
Reputation
SPOKE keeps two reputations, because being good at calling a token and being good at holding one are different things. Both are scored on real outcomes and are wash-filtered. Neither is a safety score, and neither promises returns.
Distributor reputation
How good your calls are. Discovery ranks distributors by it, so genuine calls surface and spam sinks on its own. It comes from signals like these.
- Unique real traders. Distinct wallets, screened for sybils.
- Attributed volume. What actually routed through your Spokes.
- Hold-through. Whether the people you brought held or sold at a loss. Scored from their behavior, so price swings do not skew it.
- Survivorship. Whether the tokens you back last.
- Curator consensus. Whether other credible curators agree with you.
Trader reputation
Your track record as a buyer, separate from any distributor score. It reads two things: entry quality (did you enter before the crowd?) and retention (do you hold what you buy?). It builds credibility and, in time, gates room eligibility.
Fraud is gated on both sides. Wash trading, self-dealing, and sybil clusters get detected and excluded, and getting caught drags your score down. Reputation also goes dormant. Stop showing up and you drop out of the active set and stop accruing, though you keep what you have earned and return the moment you are back.
Picks & the Backer Lock
Each distributor can run only a few active Picks at once. They're counted by unique token, so several Spokes for the same token share one Pick.
- Base
- 3 active Picks.
- With a qualifying Backer Lock
- 5 active Picks.
A Backer Lock is $SPOKE you commit to stand behind your Picks, and distributors who lock earn more of them. Because Picks are scarce, an endorsement costs you something, and you cannot back everything and hope.
$SPOKE, rewards & burn
$SPOKE is the network's token, and it has real jobs beyond being traded.
- Buy-and-burn. The protocol's share of every fee funds a buyback that buys $SPOKE on the open market and burns it. Supply falls as trading volume grows. It is a fee-generating app that turns its own revenue into buy pressure.
- Trader rewards. $SPOKE accrues to traders on the volume they execute on Spoke. It rewards routing your trades here rather than only holding.
- Backer Lock. Lock $SPOKE to stand behind your Picks and unlock more of them.
You can check it
The buyback only flows one way, and committed revenue is reconciled against burns, so the amount bought always equals the amount burned. Every buy and burn is an onchain event you can verify.
For distributors
Maybe you run a community, maybe people just follow your calls. Either way, if your word moves people, SPOKE pays you when it moves them into a trade, and it shows you who you moved.
- Open a Spoke for a token you believe in, and attach your position if you hold it.
- Make your case and share your link. Disclosure and attribution travel with it.
- Earn 70% of the fee on every trade you drive.
- Watch your propagation: your subtree reach, who you seeded, and which whales follow you.
- Build reputation from real outcomes, and unlock more reach and Picks (more still with a Backer Lock).
Your endorsement is scarce and scored, so it carries weight.
For creators
Launch a token and other people will distribute it for you. SPOKE pays you when they do. The token's verified creator earns 10% of the fee on every trade any distributor drives. Prove you control the token once (an onchain attestation, timelocked so a false claim can be contested), then run your token's hub.
- Brand and hub. Set the look and the facts every Spoke on your token inherits. Post public-first announcements and an approved-facts library distributors can quote.
- Campaigns. Fund time-bound growth that matches the distributor share for outcomes you choose: net-new holders, retained holders, or attributed volume. It is capped at your budget and pays only for what actually happened.
- Recognition. See which distributors drove holders who stayed, and mark the ones worth boosting.
For traders
You follow a Spoke's link and trade like normal. It is non-custodial, settles onchain, and routes to whatever venue gives you the best net price. A flat 0.35% SPOKE fee applies on top of the venue's own fee, which is always shown, with no hidden spread. Anything that does not fill comes back to you, with no fee.
Then make SPOKE home. Your holdings, PnL, and each entry's origin live in one non-custodial place, you earn $SPOKE on the volume you execute here, and discovery keeps ranking by real distribution.
Rooms · ON THE ROADMAP
Two credential-gated spaces are planned for after the core loop is proven:
- Major Holders. Entry is gated by an adaptive holder credential. It shows a credential ("top-N holder") and never a wallet or a balance.
- Top Distributors. Gated by rolling Qualified Growth Volume: attributed buys from unique, unrelated, retained holders, with wash and self-referral removed.
Rooms are built around hard boundaries: public-first disclosures, no coordinated trading, and no signalling of any holder's moves. They ship only after review, and the guardrails come first.
Network & venues
SPOKE launches on Robinhood Chain. Every trade routes to the venue that gives the trader the best net price. Tokens launched on Pons trade in their own locked Uniswap V3 pool from the moment they are created, with no bonding curve and no later migration. Others may have liquidity across AMMs like Gigadex or Uniswap v4. SPOKE quotes each option and routes to whichever nets the most after fees.
- Best-execution routing. The router picks the venue with the most output after fees, and binds the quote to the exact route so it can't be re-pointed.
- Measured settlement. Fees, refunds, and rewards are computed from real balance changes onchain.
- Non-upgradeable core. The Router V1 fee and split are immutable, and the buyback price comes from the pool's own onchain time-weighted average.
FAQ
- Is SPOKE a link tool or a trading app?
- Both, on purpose. You discover and trade in one place, and the distribution that happens there powers discovery. That loop is the product.
- Do I need to hold a token to promote it?
- No. You can attach your verified position to a Spoke to show you hold what you are calling, which is real skin in the game and cannot be faked.
- Does SPOKE take custody of my funds?
- Never. Trades settle onchain from your own wallet, and a Spoke only earns a share of the fee on the trades it drives. Your home is a view of your wallet, and we never hold your coins.
- When do I get paid?
- Rewards accrue onchain as the trades you drive settle, and you can claim them at any time.
- What stops people from gaming rewards or rankings?
- Rewards need a completed onchain trade, discovery ranks on propagation instead of raw volume, and the reputation engine catches and excludes wash trading, self-dealing, and sybil clusters. Getting caught also tanks your score.
- Can the fee or split change?
- No. The 0.35% fee and the 70/10/20 split are fixed constants in the non-upgradeable Router V1.
- Is it live?
- Not yet. SPOKE is pre-launch; follow @spokefam for the launch.
