The terminal earns fees. Holders own them, pay less of them, and see more than everyone else.

A trading terminal has exactly one honest source of revenue: a fee on the trades it routes. The question is who that fee belongs to. For every venue a caller sends volume to today, the answer is the venue. $IMPULSE exists to give a different answer.

Every fee goes to holders

One hundred percent of the trading fees Impulse generates are distributed to $IMPULSE holders. Not a treasury share, not a split with the team, not a portion held back for an unspecified later use. The whole fee.

The terminal is already built and already free. It has no servers to fund, no accounts to maintain and no infrastructure bill, because everything runs in your browser against public endpoints. That is what makes full distribution possible rather than a slogan: there is nothing on the other side of the ledger that the fee needs to cover.

Holders trade at a lower rate

Holding $IMPULSE lowers the fee you pay on every trade, on every chain, in the panel and in the wallet alike. The discount scales with the size of the holding, and it applies automatically. There is nothing to stake, nothing to lock and no separate transaction to claim it.

The two mechanics compound rather than cancel. A holder pays a smaller fee and receives a share of every fee the terminal collects, so the people using the product most are the people the product costs least and returns most. That is the whole design.

The deepest research is holder-only

The core terminal stays open to everyone. Price, chart, safety verdict, routing and the buy button are the product, and putting a paywall in front of them would defeat the point of building it into the timeline.

What holders unlock is depth. These are the tools that turn a decision from informed into early:

  • Full holder table. All 100 holders and traders with per-wallet profit and loss and the influencer, smart money, developer and insider tags. Standard access shows the top ten.
  • Insider and bundle detection. The clustering layer of the holder map, which names coordinated wallets and sniper bundles rather than only drawing them.
  • Wallet alerts. Follow any address and be told when it opens or exits a position, across all four chains.
  • Caller track records. The full scored history for any account posting calls, not just the headline number.
  • New pair scanner. A cross-chain feed of new pools, filtered live by liquidity, safety verdict and holder concentration.
  • Ranked thesis feeds. Thesis sorted by position size, reach and realised outcome, and filtered to the people you already follow.
