Every
golden egg.

Every Merkle epoch published by the Golden Goose distributor, reconciled against the successful GLD transfers that followed it. “Allocated” and “paid” are deliberately separate.

Why wallet counts jump

The pot chooses
the cutoff.

The list size is not tracking holder churn. The root-verified files show a stable minimum GLD reward: a larger epoch pot pushes more time-weighted wallet shares above that line, so more wallets appear.

Strong onchain inference · not a published Pons rule

balance × time→share of epoch pot→≈ 0.00105 GLD+

Pons appears to rank each wallet’s weighted share, then include only rewards that clear an effective minimum. The Merkle list still allocates the whole pot among the wallets that make it. That is why a 0.16 GLD round can list roughly half as many wallets as a 0.42 GLD round even when the holder base barely changes.

Pot ↔ listed wallets94.2%correlation across the latest 45 verified epochs

Nested recipient lists42 / 4397.7% of recent adjacent pairs

“Effective floor” describes the files Pons published; it is not a threshold enforced by the distributor contract. Pons’ offchain publisher has changed it before and could change it again. Once a root is published, that epoch’s account amounts are fixed.

Keeper delivery audit

Published does not
mean delivered.

The contract has the GLD and the Merkle allocations exist. What is incomplete is Pons’ offchain delivery worker: some batches were never submitted, while several retries resent already-paid pages.

What the chain proves

The zeroes are a delivery state—not a zero allocation.

Every GLD transfer out of the distributor matches one successful claim, one-for-one. The open epoch reserve is still held by the contract, and untouched proofs sampled from every metadata-backed open epoch simulate a successful GLD transfer from an arbitrary caller.

Backfill rounds

Late can still
be delivered.

Pons has previously returned to older, untouched epochs and cleared them in a later batch. That history is why metadata-backed rows are labelled ‘not submitted’ instead of ‘failed forever’.

Observed backfill30August · 15:21 UTC

In one concentrated run, the Pons keeper revisited 13 previously skipped epochs and sent 2,767 holder payouts totalling 48.148552 GLD.

Resolved live case · epoch #48

After waiting 65h 2m, the formerly stuck 54.936081 GLD epoch was cleared on 01 Sept, 06:20. Pons submitted 683 payouts in 10 transactions over 28 sec—even though the public URI still returns {"error":"Unknown epoch."}. That proves Pons retained the proofs internally; the public could not independently backfill it.

Unsettled anomaly

Epoch #48 is the largest allocation. Its public URI still returns 404 · {"error":"Unknown epoch."}, but Pons later used its internal proofs to deliver all 54.936081 GLD to 683 wallets. The chain settled it; independent callers still cannot reproduce those claims from the public file.

Each epoch event commits a Merkle root, GLD total, 90-day deadline and metadata URI. Keeper batches then call the distributor for individual accounts. Duplicate retries are logged as failures but do not double-pay.

Open ledger126 epochs are not fully delivered

48.9695 GLD remains reserved across them. 47.67364 GLD already has root-verified recipient files. 1.29586 GLD belongs to recent epochs #371, #326, #324, #319, #306 whose public files have not indexed yet.
