To ensure fairness, the SOU system prevents manipulation of the payout pools through strict time-locking mechanisms.

Anti-Dilution

Goal: Prevent “late-comers” from diluting the share of legitimate victims after a payout is announced.

How it Works

The system takes a snapshot of the world state whenever a payout is created.
1

Snapshot Event

A Payout is created. The contract records the Total Principal Tokens at that exact block/timestamp.
2

Fixed Calculation

Your claimable amount is calculated using the Total Principal Tokens at Snapshot.
3

Exclusion

Any SOU position created after the snapshot is mathematically excluded from that specific distribution.

Why is this important?

Without this, bad actors could mint massive amounts of SOU right before a payout to steal the majority of the funds.
You know exactly what you will get the moment a payout is announced. Waiting to claim doesn’t mean you get less.
Since your share is fixed, you don’t need to pay high gas fees to rush and claim first.
