DUST & weekly payouts
Everything that grows Corium earns DUST, and holding what you buy earns SPARK. Every Monday the week is paid out in SOL: a community pool by DUST, a hunters’ pool by SPARK, and ten prize draws. Your lifetime DUST is your rank, and it never goes down.
- DUST comes from finishing curves, buying stretches, launching coins that take off, winning requests, funding bounties, trading, your crew, and for free: the welcome bonus, quests and today's star.
- SPARK comes from SOL you put into Corium and still hold 10 minutes later. More in a final stretch, most for finishing a curve. Once earned, it's never taken back.
- Payday, every Monday (weeks run Monday to Monday, UTC): the community pool goes to the top 20 accounts with 1,000+ DUST that week, by their DUST; the hunters’ pool to everyone with 5+ SPARK, by their SPARK; the draws to ten winners by ticket.
- The pools grow with Corium’s fees: the community pool is 10% of them and the hunters’ pool 25%, each never less than 1.5 SOL, and the draws add 30% of the hunters’ pool on top.
- Lifetime DUST sets your rank, from Drifter to Singularity. Rank opens more on the Feed and on your profile.

Payday
The Payday card on Earn says what this week pays in all and when, and each pool in a sentence:
| Pool | Who shares it | How it's split | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Community | The top 20 accounts with at least 1,000 DUST that week, 500 of it earned | By DUST, nobody over 30% | 10% of Corium’s fees, at least 1.5 SOL |
| Hunters | Everyone with at least 5 SPARK that week (up to 50 accounts) | By SPARK, weighted by your Hunter level, no cap | 25% of Corium’s fees, at least 1.5 SOL |
| Draws | Ten accounts drawn by ticket | An equal prize each | 30% of the hunters’ pool, on top of it |
The same account can be paid from all three. Everything lands in one payout, in SOL, to your main wallet, shortly after the week closes. With the floors alone, a week pays 1.5 + 1.5 + 0.45 = 3.45 SOL (the draws once anyone holds a ticket).
Corium’s fees are its share of every Corium coin’s curve fees, the fees its locked pool positions earned, and Corium Trade’s 0.25%, that week. When Corium coins trade more, the pools grow: the card shows the next volume goal and what the pool becomes when it's reached.
Earning DUST
| You | DUST | When it counts |
|---|---|---|
| Finish a curve | 2,000 per SOL | Your net SOL into the final stretch of a coin that graduates that week. Corium coins and pump.fun coins with a bounty. |
| Buy a stretch | 300 per SOL, up to 600 a day | Every final-stretch buy through Corium, finished or not. Finishing pays on top. |
| Launch a coin | 300, 1,000, then 500, then 5,000 | When others have put 2 SOL, then 10 SOL into your coin; when it reaches its final stretch; when it graduates. |
| Win a request | 5,000 | The creator of the winning coin. |
| Fund a bounty | 500 per SOL | When its coin graduates, for the part of your bounty that went to other finishers. |
| Conviction | 1,000 per SOL | SOL bought under a quarter of a Corium coin’s curve and still held when it graduates. |
| Trade | 10 per SOL, up to 300 a day | Any trade on Corium, on its own coins or any token in Corium Trade, except a creator trading their own coin. |
| Daily twenty, crates, badges | 5 to 2,000 | Things to do on chain every day. Daily twenty → |
| Your crew | 10% of theirs, up to 5,000 a week | On top of theirs, never out of it; counts in the weeks they trade. Plus 50 DUST when they join and 100 on their first trade. Your crew → |
Free DUST
Sign in with X or Discord and DUST comes free, no SOL needed. It's all in Earn → Quests:
| You | DUST | When |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome bonus | 250 | Once per account. |
| Connect X or Discord | 200 each | Once per network. Either one is step 3 of posting on the Feed. |
| Link the Telegram bot | 150 | Once. |
| Join @corium_solana and @corium_alerts on Telegram | 100 each | Once each. Checked with Telegram, so join with the Telegram account you linked. |
| Follow @corium_so and @corium_bounties on X | 75 each | Once each. X tells Corium about follows as they happen; give it a minute before you check. |
| First trade on Corium Trade | 200 | Once. Also step 2 of posting. |
| Trade 1 SOL on Corium Trade | 250 | Every week. |
| Post about Corium on X | 150 | Once a week. A post from the X account you connected that mentions @corium_so; put your invite link in it and everyone who signs in through it and trades pays you too. |
| Seeker or Saga owner | 500 once, then 100 a week | Connect the wallet that holds your Genesis token (on a Seeker, the Seed Vault wallet). The token is one per phone and stays with you, so it also makes your account eligible without a follower count, and your SPARK weighs ×1.25 in the hunters’ pool. |
| Pick today's star | 20 to 500 | Once a UTC day: five stars, one holds the most. Days in a row multiply it, up to ×2 from day 11. A missed day starts the streak over. |
| Daily quests | 30 each | Three a day, the same three for everyone, and two more every day: make a trade on Corium Trade, and buy a coin launched on Corium in the last seven days (0.01 SOL or more, not your own). |
| Bring a friend | 150 | 50 when someone who joined through your link connects an eligible account, 100 on their first trade. Up to 3,000 a week. On top of the 10% share. |
Today's star and the daily quests add up to at most 1,500 a week. Free DUST needs at least one eligible account on yours: X at least 30 days old with 10+ followers, or Discord at least 90 days old. Without one you can sign in and look around, but you won't earn free DUST.
Some badges on your name pay DUST too: once, every week, or both.
SPARK
SPARK is what the hunters’ pool is split by. It counts SOL you put into Corium and still hold 10 minutes later, weighted by what the move does for Corium:
| You | SPARK per SOL |
|---|---|
| Buy a Corium coin, or swap into any token on Corium Trade, and hold it 10 minutes | 100 |
| The same buy in a coin’s final stretch (a Corium coin, or a pump.fun coin through Corium) | 200 |
| Finish a curve: hold your stretch buys through the coin’s graduation | 300 |
| Conviction: buy under a quarter of a Corium curve and still hold it when it graduates | 300 |
| Launch a coin: the SOL others buy of it in its first day, counted from 0.5 SOL, up to 5 SOL | 100 |
| Fund a bounty that paid other finishers | 100 |
So a 0.05 SOL buy held 10 minutes is 5 SPARK, enough to be in the hunters’ pool, and the same buy in a final stretch is 10.
- Holding is checked on chain. When the 10 minutes end, Corium reads your wallet. The SPARK is granted for what is still there above what you held before the buy. Tokens sold or moved to another wallet don't count. A pump.fun stretch buy locked in the program's stretch ledger counts as held.
- Once granted, it's yours. Selling later never takes SPARK back. Until the 10 minutes end, a buy shows as pending.
- No daily cap. SPARK grows with the SOL you put in and hold.
SPARK started with the week of 2 November 2026. Your on-chain DUST from the weeks before counts 1:1 as lifetime SPARK.
Hunter level
Your lifetime SPARK sets your Hunter level, separate from your rank. A higher level weighs more in the hunters’ pool, up to ×1.25. Hunter levels →
Getting paid
- The week closes at Monday 00:00 UTC and its boards are frozen as they stand.
- The pools are set from that week’s fees, or their floors if those are more.
- Each pool is split: the community pool among the top 20 qualifying accounts by DUST, nobody over 30% (an equal share when three or fewer qualify); the hunters’ pool among everyone with 5+ SPARK by weighted SPARK, with no cap; the draws among ten different accounts, each drawn by its share of the tickets, from a Solana blockhash kept with the week. Every pool is always paid in full.
- SOL is sent to each account’s main wallet from Corium’s treasury, shortly after the week closes.
Qualifying for the community pool
You need at least 1,000 DUST that week, and at least 500 of it earned: finishing, launching, requests, bounties and free DUST. Trading DUST and the 10% crew share add to your payout once you qualify, but can’t qualify you on their own. That keeps the pool for people who show up and build coins up, not for wash trading.
The hunters’ pool has no such line: 5 SPARK is enough.
Ranks
Lifetime DUST is never spent and never resets. It sets your rank, shown on your profile, on the boards and next to your name, and on Earn as "Rank 1 · DRIFTER" and up.
| Rank | Lifetime DUST | On the Feed | On your profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| ● Drifter | 0 | Posts and replies after the three steps; 10 a day | Your own star; star dust; 2 blocks |
| ● Ember | 500 | Links, scored calls, pictures; 30 a day | Gradient name, a headline, links, 3 blocks |
| ● Kindler | 2,500 | Videos; 60 a day | Neon name, 3 star forms, pin a post, 3 coins on show |
| ● Stoker | 8,000 | Long posts (1,000 characters); 150 a day | Aurora name, move your star, a ring |
| ● Forgehand | 20,000 | Everything; 150 a day | Plasma name, your star at any stage, all 6 blocks |
| ● Starwright | 50,000 | Any colour, a deep sky | |
| ● Novabound | 120,000 | Your star as its supernova | |
| ● Heliarch | 300,000 | An event horizon name | |
| ● Singularity | 750,000 | Your star as a black hole |
Every rank above Drifter also lifts your posts on For you. The full list of looks is on Profiles.
The Start here quests alone take an eligible account past Ember. Finishing 2 SOL a week of graduating coins gets you to Kindler in a week and Stoker in two.
Seasons
A season is four weeks. When one ends, the next starts at once, with nothing for you to do. Only the weekly boards start over; your lifetime DUST, SPARK, rank and Hunter level carry on.
On Earn
Earn shows your star, your rank and how far to the next, your Hunter level, the quests, payday, and where you stand on each board this week. Leaders shows the top five of the Community and Hunters boards and you; the full boards, the draws and How it works are a tap away. The Hall of Fame ranks lifetime DUST, SPARK and P&L.
If you’ve linked wallets, their DUST and SPARK count as one account, paid to your main wallet. With Telegram connected, the bot tells you when you enter the top 3 or the paid zone, and sends a recap when the week closes.
