EPHEMERAL · SEASON 1

Hold $EPH. Collect Phases.

Phases are points for holding $EPH and using private payments. They decide who gets early access to the $TIDE TGE and how the $TIDE airdrop is split.

Mechanics

How Phases accrue

Base: 1 Phase per day for every 1,000 $EPH held, measured from hourly balance snapshots. Your tier and boosts multiply it, and every trade adds Trading Phases.

Phases = base × tier multiplier × (1 + boosts) × days + trading Phases

base
$EPH held ÷ 1,000, read from hourly snapshots.
tier multiplier
×1.00 to ×3.00, set by how much $EPH you hold.
(1 + boosts)
×1.00 to ×3.00. Boosts add up.
trading Phases
100 Phases for every 0.001 ETH of fees you pay, in the launch window and at 2%.

Tiers

Set by $EPH held. Total supply is 1,000,000,000 $EPH.

    Boosts

    Each boost adds to the boost factor. With all four, it is ×3.00. The highest total is ×9.00 on base, for an Eclipse wallet with all four boosts.

    • Stealth keys registered+0.25Set up stealth keys in the ephemeral app (pay link or registry).
    • Private payment+0.25Sent or received at least one ephemeral payment.
    • First Light+0.50Bought in the launch window (first hour) and still hold at least that amount. Kept forever, also in later seasons.
    • Unbroken+1.00On tokens you bought and have not sold from since. A sell clears it on the whole wallet; transfers carry it with the tokens, so moving to a safer wallet costs nothing.

    Rewards

    What Phases decide

    Your Phases total at the end of Season 1 decides two things.

    Access

    First Light Pass

    Early access to the $TIDE TGE: half of the presale is reserved for Pass holders, and Pass holders get the first relayer slots.

    Who gets it
    Wallets with at least 50,000 Phases at the end of Season 1. The reserved presale is split pro rata by Phases; relayer slots go out in order of Phases.

    Allocation

    $TIDE airdrop

    A pool of $TIDE, split pro rata by Phases at the end of Season 1.

    Pool size
    20% of $TIDE supply (200,000,000 of 1,000,000,000) in Season 1, split pro rata by Phases. Splitting a wallet never earns more: see the rules.

    What $TIDE is

    $TIDE runs the ephemeral relay network: relayers pay the gas for private withdrawals so a stealth address never has to be funded from a wallet linked to you. Relayers stake $TIDE.

    $TIDE scenarios

    What the airdrop is worth next to the presale

    Pick a split and see the presale price it implies, what the holder airdrop is worth at that price, and your share from the calculator above. Illustrative only: the final $TIDE numbers are announced with $TIDE.

    Scenario

    Your Phases and the total Phases come from the calculator above. Changing the airdrop here also updates the pool there.

    Presale price per $TIDE$0.0200
    Fully diluted value at the presale price$20.0M
    Holder airdrop at the presale price$4.0M
    Airdrop value ÷ presale raise1.33×
    Your airdrop0 $TIDE
    Your airdrop at the presale price$0
    Your reserved presale allocation (if you have the Pass)$0

    At a smaller presale share the same raise implies a higher price, so the holder airdrop is worth more. A larger presale share gives presale buyers a lower price and more tokens to sell.
