When a coin is paired with an X, YouTube or Twitch account, or with a company domain, the owner of that account earns the paired share of every trade, even if they have never used this site. Their share waits in an escrow until they prove they own the account. This page explains how that works and what keeps it safe.
Note
The escrow#
- Each account gets one escrow wallet, shared by every coin paired with it. The escrow is a normal Solana wallet; its address is locked in each coin’s on-chain split.
- The platform holds the escrow’s key, encrypted on its server, until the owner claims. The escrow always keeps the small rent-exempt minimum so it stays a valid recipient for every coin.
- The “waiting” amount shown in Paired account claim is the escrow balance plus the paired share of fees not distributed yet. A claim moves only what is already in the escrow: the platform’s worker distributes each coin’s fees every 15 minutes once at least 0.01 SOL is waiting (every 6 hours for coins quiet for 2 days), and the rest arrives then.
How to claim#
X, YouTube and Twitch
Sign in
Press Sign in at the top of the site and continue with the platform the coin is paired with (X, GitHub and Twitch sign in directly; for a YouTube channel use “Verify with YouTube” with the Google account that owns it). Then open Paired account claim in the wallet menu.Choose a wallet
Your connected wallet is filled in, or paste any Solana address. If you have no wallet, press “Make me a new wallet”: it is created in your browser and its private key is shown once. Save it before you claim; it is never sent to the site.Claim
Press Claim. The SOL in your escrow is sent to your wallet, and its small network fee is paid from the escrow itself. Pair-token shares (USDC, a stock…) come back as a transaction your wallet signs and pays the small fee for (about 0.003 SOL). If you change an existing payout wallet, the new one takes effect after a 48-hour safety delay; until then your share stays in the escrow (claim to your current wallet to cancel the change).
Sign-in sessions last one hour and are used only to prove ownership. Each provider appears only if the platform has set it up; until then, escrowed shares simply stay safe.
Companies
In Paired account claim (wallet menu), open “A coin is paired with your company domain?”, enter the domain and your payout wallet, add this TXT record to the domain’s DNS, then press Verify domain and claim:
agentbourse-verify=<your wallet address>
Once the record is found, everything in the escrow is sent to that wallet. Whoever controls the domain’s DNS can verify, so keep your DNS account secure.
After you verify#
- Every coin paired with your account, old or new, keeps paying your share into the same escrow. Nothing is forwarded to your wallet on its own: sign in again and press Claim (companies: press Verify domain and claim again) whenever you want to collect what has arrived since.
- Verified accounts are no longer subject to the 30-day expiry, so new fees wait in the escrow until you claim.
The 30-day rule#
An unclaimed escrow is held for 30 days, counted from when the first real fee arrives in it (not from the launch, and not from the small rent deposit made at launch). If claimed within 30 days, full fee ownership and accumulated rewards are transferred to the verified account owner. When the 30 days are over and nobody has claimed, the escrow is swept to buy back and burn the native token. The clock then restarts with the next fee, so new fees get a full new 30 days.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Claim window | 30 days from the first fee (the platform can change this) |
| If claimed | Fee ownership and accrued rewards transfer to the verified claimant |
| What is swept | The whole escrow balance, minus the rent-exempt minimum |
| Where it goes | Used to buy back and burn the native token |
| After a sweep | The window restarts when the next fee arrives |
| Verified accounts | Never swept |
Important
Why a handle change cannot steal your fees#
Handles can be renamed, and an old handle can be registered by someone else. Escrows are tied to the account itself, not just to the name:
- Permanent account id. When the escrow is created, the platform records the account’s permanent id (X user id, YouTube channel id or Twitch user id) if it has that provider’s API set up. YouTube channel ids are permanent on their own.
- Only that id can claim. If you rename your handle, you still see and claim your escrow when you sign in. If someone else takes your old handle, they are refused: “Only the original account can claim.”
- The first verification binds the handle. Once an account has verified a handle, a different account can never verify it again.
