Fees & harvest
On every other platform, someone has to remember to claim fees. On Diggers, the fees claim themselves. Every single trade doubles as a checkpoint: if enough has accrued, the harvest fires and everyone gets paid, in the same transaction as the trade.
The threshold is tiny on purpose. The moment enough has accrued, the next trade sweeps it and routes every share to its destination as described in fees end-to-end: the ETH side splits 70% to the creator table and 30% to the platform team, the token side splits between the burn and the pot. On an active coin that means creators are being paid essentially in real time.
Trading is the usual trigger, but it is not the only one. Anyone can call harvest on any coin at any moment, no permission needed, no role required. If a coin goes quiet with fees sitting in the pool, any holder, any creator, any stranger can sweep it and force the payout. The machine cannot be forgotten because everyone holds the crank.
Harvest pays by pushing: ETH and tokens are sent directly to every recipient in the same transaction. But push payments have a classic weakness: a broken or malicious recipient contract could reject the transfer and freeze everyone's payday. Diggers closes that hole with a pull fallback: if a push fails, that share is credited to the recipient's claimable balance and the harvest rolls on. The rest of the table gets paid, and the failed recipient can collect later whenever they like.

| Recipient can recover later | ✓ | ✕ |
| Needs manual claiming by default | ✕ | varies |
Collecting the trading fees that accrue inside a coin's Uniswap V3 pool position and distributing them: the quote currency to the creator table and platform team, tokens to the burn and the Daily Contest Pot. On Diggers this happens automatically.
Trades do. When accrued fees pass a threshold, the next swap carries the harvest with it: no button, no keeper bots, no creator action needed. Fees flow whether or not anyone remembers them.
The gas of a harvest piggybacks on the swap that triggers it, so occasionally a trade costs slightly more gas. The 1% fee you pay never changes because of harvesting.
Every harvest emits an on-chain event with the full split: creator fees, team fees, burned tokens and pot tokens. The coin page's stats reflect the totals.
