There is no payout day
No fixed date, no window that opens on the 1st and 15th, nothing to miss. A request becomes possible the moment its conditions are met: 5 counted days, enough profit, every coin sold, nothing pending and no wallet pause running. A calendar would make a trader who had a good week wait for the date. Counting days instead means the wait is whatever your own trading makes it.
Where the count restarts
From the UTC day after your last request. If you request on a Tuesday, Tuesday does not count toward the next one, even if you trade it well after the request. Wednesday is the first day that can. A request that is rejected is not counted, so the days behind it are not used up.
The fastest rhythm
Request on day 0, collect a counted day on each of days 1 to 5, and request again on day 5, once that day's 8% is realised. That is roughly six requests in thirty days, and it is a ceiling, not a pace anyone should plan around. Five consecutive days each realising 8% of the account, +2 SOL, +4 SOL or +8 SOL by size, is a run of form that most traders never string together. Gaps are allowed, so a slower rhythm costs nothing but time.
The first payout is different
It waits until 14 days after the funded account opened, however quickly you collect the five days. Counted days collected during that wait still count, so in practice the first request is ready on day 14 if your trading got there first. It is also capped lower: 5 SOL, 10 SOL or 20 SOL gross by size, against 10 SOL, 20 SOL or 40 SOL afterwards.
From request to wallet
A person reviews every request, and we aim to answer within about a day. Identity verification may be asked for, which adds time. Once approved, the payment is an on-chain transfer to your saved wallet that settles in seconds. While a request is pending you cannot open another, but counted days go on accumulating, so the review never costs you a day toward the next one. Changing the payout wallet is the one action that can hold a request back by itself.
Frequency against size
Requesting often is not free of trade-offs. Each request can take at most half the profit standing, so a small request taken early leaves less to compound toward the higher cap. Some traders will prefer fewer, larger requests at the cap; others will take what is available as soon as it is. The rules allow either, and the arithmetic of each request is the same whichever rhythm you keep.
Questions people ask
Is there a minimum payout?
A request must be at least 0.05 SOL gross.
Do I have to take a payout once I have five counted days?
No. Counted days do not expire, and the request can wait as long as you like.
Can I request while holding a coin?
No. Every position has to be sold first, so the profit being paid is realised.
