Distributions

Purchased assets are pushed straight into each eligible Ape's own account — nothing to claim, nothing to remember.

Once the Vault buys an epoch's winning stocks, they're distributed to every Aped In Ape proportional to its Effective Weight (Base Rarity + recognized Burn Progression) at the time it was checkpointed for that epoch.

yourShare = pool × (yourWeight ÷ totalEligibleWeight)

Push, not claim

Assets land directly in each Ape's own account — there's nothing to remember to go collect.
Settlement runs in batches so the whole 2,222-Ape collection clears in a manageable number of transactions.
Every batch is idempotent — retrying or overlapping one never pays an Ape twice.
Distribution is fully permissionless — anyone can trigger a settlement batch.

Weight is snapshotted per-Ape at checkpoint time within the epoch, not simultaneously frozen for the whole collection at the exact moment the epoch ends — a deliberate, documented simplification rather than a silent gap. In practice this window is small since checkpointing an epoch should complete promptly.

Sleeping Apes get nothing

An Ape that hasn't activated contributes zero weight and receives zero share — but it costs nothing to sit out, and nothing is lost by activating later. The moment an Ape crosses into Aped In status, it starts earning from the following epoch onward.
