What ADAPT actually does
ADAPT is an interface and an integration layer. It collects creator rewards from a launch, splits them by a configuration locked at launch, and hands each share to the adapter for its rail.
The payout pipeline
- 01
Source token
A token is launched through a supported engine with a creator reward configuration attached.
- 02
ADAPT collection
Creator rewards are collected on-chain. Every collection is recorded once, with its transaction.
- 03
Locked config
The configuration that was locked at launch decides the split. It cannot be edited afterwards.
- 04
Allocation engine
Integer basis points only. Rounding dust is carried forward, never invented.
- 05
Rail ledger
Each recipient gets a durable ledger row with its own status.
- 06
Payout pipeline
The allocated amount is placed into the rail's designated wallet or durable internal queue.
- 07
External distribution
Independent systems can complete final distribution after ADAPT's recorded handoff.
Every status stays distinct
- ACCRUED
- Rewards exist on-chain but have not been collected.
- COLLECTED
- ADAPT has collected the rewards in a confirmed transaction.
- ALLOCATED
- The collected amount has been split across the locked configuration.
- QUEUED
- The allocation is recorded in its designated payout pipeline.
- PROCESSING
- An authorized external system has started final distribution.
- PAID
- Final settlement has been independently confirmed.
- FAILED
- The payout did not settle. It can be retried without double paying.
Launching without connecting a wallet
ADAPT can prepare a launch you perform yourself: it generates the routing wallet, the description block and the instructions, then detects the token once it exists. Walletless does not mean non-custodial — rewards routed this way pass through ADAPT's routing wallet before they reach a recipient.
What is locked
At launch the reward configuration is hashed and locked. Rails, destinations and shares can no longer change — not by the creator, and not by an ADAPT administrator. Token pages show the hash and a locked marker.
What the keeper may do
The keeper detects creator rewards, triggers the permitted collection calls, pays gas and reconciles transactions. It cannot withdraw treasury funds at will, change an allocation, or alter a locked rail.
