The Graduation to $S Liquidity
Real apes. Real wins. Real liquidity.
5. The Graduation to $S Liquidity
Protocol fees, such as trading fees, dice roll fees, and crate purchases, are used to collect $S. Instead of pairing weekly winners with $S immediately, a graduation process is conducted to select standout coins for the Coin–$S liquidity pair.
5.1 Graduation Criteria (Scoreboard) All newly listed coins are evaluated on a 100-point scale:
Average Daily Trading Volume A minimum of 50,000 $COIN in daily trading volume is required, measured over active days.
Up to 30 points are awarded, scaled based on how far above or below the 50k/day threshold the average volume is.
Unique Traders A threshold of 3,000 unique trading addresses must be exceeded.
Up to 20 points are awarded, scaled proportionally to the number of unique traders beyond the threshold.
Liquidity Retention A consistent threshold of $COIN liquidity must be maintained (e.g., at least 1,000,000 $COIN).
Up to 20 points are awarded based on how reliably the threshold is met.
Community Vote (via $WAGMI) An poll is conducted, allowing $WAGMI holders to vote on newly listed coins.
Up to 20 points are awarded proportionally to final vote percentages.
Passing Threshold A minimum score of 60 points is required for eligibility. The top 1–3 coins are prioritized for $S pairing.
The Apes Win team reserves the right to graduate winners independently of the standard state rules outlined above. This discretionary action can be taken whenever the team observes significant demand, strong community traction, or exceptional performance metrics for a newly launched meme.
5.2 Time-Gating & Distribution of $S
Fee Accumulation $S is collected throughout the month from protocol fees.
Graduation Announcement At the end of the month, the performance of each coin is evaluated based on the scoreboard.
Ongoing Management In subsequent months, graduated coins may have their $S pool wound down or moved to a “legacy” category if traction is lost.
