85% of trading fees on this 4% pool are paid to $UBI holders in USDC. Holders with at least $20 of $UBI receive payouts automatically. Fees collect in a pot and pay out when the pot reaches 0.1% of market cap for market caps between $125K and $25M.

Different centuries.
Same conviction.
This idea has been argued for more than two centuries. People from very different politics kept arriving at the same place: a regular payment that does not depend on a job interview.

The idea continues.
Onchain.
Earlier versions looked to governments and institutions. $UBI explores distribution through a different mechanism: trading fees paid to token holders in USDC by StonkFun.
This website tells the story and points to the public record. It does not process payments.
