An independent experiment in returning value.
RETURN is an independent community experiment built on Arc. It is paired with CRCL through long.supply.
The project uses a transparent portion of creator-fee revenue to send CRCL directly to eligible $RETURN holders. The salmon symbolises return. Nothing is hidden. Every distribution can be checked on-chain.
Fees in, CRCL out.
The whole mechanism in four sentences, with nothing left implicit.
- 01
People trade $RETURN against CRCL on long.supply.
- 02
Each trade carries a 1% pool fee. long.supply keeps half; the other half accrues to this project — an effective 0.5% of trade volume.
- 03
100% of that creator share is converted into CRCL.
- 04
A snapshot block is chosen, balances are read, exclusions are applied, and CRCL is sent directly to eligible wallets. Every payout is published.
The full method, the formula and the limits of what this can prove are on the proof page.
The things this project deliberately isn’t.
Written out because each one is a thing people reasonably assume, and each assumption would be wrong.
- Not affiliated with Circle
RETURN has no relationship with Circle Internet Group, Inc., with Arc, or with long.supply. The ticker CRCL names the token this project trades against and pays out in. Nothing more should be read into it — including from this site's own domain name.
- Not yield, interest or a dividend
CRCL sent to holders is a redistribution of fees generated by people trading the token. It is not income from an investment, not a rate of return, and not passive income. There is no APY and none is offered.
- Not a promise
Distributions are discretionary and depend entirely on trading activity. If nobody trades, there are no fees and there is nothing to distribute. No schedule, amount or continuation is committed to.
- Not trustless
The distribution wallet is controlled by a private key on an operator machine. The calculation is reproducible from public data and every payout is published, but the sending itself requires trusting that the operator runs it. This site does not pretend otherwise.
- Not a claim platform
There is nothing to claim and nothing to connect. This website is read-only: it cannot request a signature, an approval or a transaction, because it has no wallet integration at all. Anyone asking you to connect a wallet to receive RETURN rewards is not us.
Legacy V1 — archived.
Before the current model, RETURN ran a different mechanism on a different token. It is kept here rather than deleted, and it is never mixed into current statistics.
Legacy V1
V1 ran a different mechanism on a different token. These records are kept so the history stays checkable. None of these figures are counted in current statistics.
Creator fees in USDC were split in half: one half transferred to a publicly identified Circle contract deployer address, the other half used to buy RETURN on the open market and send it to a dead address.

V1 sent purchased tokens to an address with no known private key. The token had no burn function, so total supply did not decrease — the tokens are immobilised, not destroyed. That distinction was stated on the V1 site and is repeated here rather than tidied away.
RETURN is an independent, community-created token. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, operated by or connected to Circle Internet Group, Inc., Arc, long.supply or their affiliates. The ticker CRCL is used here to name the token this project is paired with and pays out in — nothing more.
Distributions come from one source only: creator fees generated by people trading $RETURN. long.supply charges a 1% pool fee on every trade and splits it evenly between the protocol and the token creator, so the project’s share is 0.5% of trade volume. There is no other revenue, no treasury generating income, and no external party contributing funds.
Because of that, a distribution is a redistribution of trading fees — not yield, not interest, not a dividend, and not passive income. It is not an investment return and no rate of return is offered, implied or achievable by holding.
Distributions are discretionary and depend entirely on trading activity. If nobody trades, there are no fees and there is nothing to distribute. RETURN makes no commitment to any schedule, any amount, or any continuation of distributions at all.
