Don’t trust.
Verify the return.
This page exists so you never have to take our word for anything. Every address is linked, every distribution is downloadable, and the method below is written out in enough detail that you can reproduce a result yourself from public chain data.
Nothing on this site is an estimate. If a value is not known yet it reads PENDING — you will not find an example address or a placeholder number anywhere here, because a plausible-looking placeholder on a proof page is worse than an empty one.
One source: trading fees.
There is no treasury, no external funding and no second revenue stream. The whole mechanism is a share of the fee long.supply charges on trades.
long.supply states: “1% pool fee on every trade · 50% to the creator, 50% to the protocol.”
Kept by long.supply. This project never receives it and never counts it.
Accrues to this project — an effective 0.5% of trade volume.
100% of that creator share is converted into CRCL and returned to holders.
How a return is calculated.
Seven steps, the same every time. Nothing is discretionary once the snapshot block is chosen.
- 01A snapshot block is chosen
One block, fixed before anything else happens. Every balance in the distribution is read at that block, so the set of holders cannot shift while the calculation runs.
- 02Balances are read from Arc
Every address that has ever received the token is reconstructed from Transfer events, then each balance is confirmed with a direct balanceOf call at the snapshot block.
- 03Excluded addresses are removed
The zero address, the burn address, the liquidity pool, the creator-fee wallet and the distribution wallet hold tokens that are not a community holder. They are removed before any share is computed, and published with their balances.
- 04Eligible supply is calculated
What remains is summed. This total — not the token’s total supply — is the denominator every holder is measured against.
- 05Each wallet gets a proportional allocation
Integer arithmetic only, in base units. Floor division first, then the units lost to rounding are handed out by the largest-remainder method so the parts add up to exactly the pool.
- 06CRCL is sent directly to wallets
Ordinary transfers from the distribution wallet. No claim contract, no Merkle root, no approval, and nothing for a holder to do.
- 07Every payout is published
The full recipient list, every transaction hash and the exact dataset the distributor produced, downloadable as JSON and CSV.
Two lines of arithmetic.
Small enough that you can check it on paper against any published distribution.
Computed entirely in integer base units — never in floating point. A balance of one billion tokens at 18 decimals is 1027, about a hundred billion times past the range a JavaScript number can hold exactly, so a single conversion to a float would be enough to make published totals stop matching the chain. The allocation code is covered by tests that assert the parts always sum to exactly the pool.

What this proof does not cover.
A proof page that only lists strengths is marketing. These are the things you cannot verify from this site, stated plainly.
- The snapshot is a moment, not a period
Balances are read at one block. Someone who bought a minute later, or sold a minute earlier, is treated exactly as their balance at that block — not by how long they held.
- Holder discovery depends on complete event history
The holder set is reconstructed from Transfer events and confirmed with balanceOf. If an RPC returned an incomplete log range, an address could be missed. Each published dataset lists the eligible supply so you can compare it against the token’s on-chain supply yourself.
- Exclusions are a judgement call
Deciding that the liquidity pool is not a community holder is a decision, not a fact. Every excluded address is published with its balance so you can disagree with the choice and recompute without it.
- Distributions are discretionary
Nothing forces a distribution to happen, and no schedule is promised. Fees depend entirely on trading volume that may not exist tomorrow.
- The distribution wallet is a hot wallet
It is controlled by a private key on an operator machine. It is funded per distribution and holds no long-term reserve, but it is not trustless and this site does not describe it as such.
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.
Nothing here is financial advice, an offer, or a solicitation. Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose everything you put in. Do your own research.
