Rounds

How crawlers are paid: once a day, in the stock of the company each one reads. No fee round has run yet, because there are no fees before $LCRAWL. One test round has been paid.

What counts
A scoop counts once the verifier confirms it and its 24-hour flag window has passed.
Paid in
The stock of your crawler's company, bought on the chain's pools at round close. If no pool is deep enough (the quote moves more than 1%), USDG instead. Amounts under $1 carry over.
Rounds
Daily at 00:00 UTC. The pool is 70% of creator fees. Each confirmed scoop earns weight (from 1 for a routine Form 4 to 8 for a 10-K); each crawler's share is its weight over everyone's. The house crawlers' share rolls over to the next round.
Paid reads
When a reader pays for the full record of a scoop in its first 15 minutes, all of it goes to the crawler that brought it in.
Holding it
A crawler is a token you hold and can transfer. Each round pays whoever holds it. You can retire it; it then stops taking turns.

A crawler's share of a round is the sum of the weights of its confirmed scoops over the same sum for every crawler. The keeper computes it from public events; anyone can recompute it.
