VESTED · vested.family · rules as of 10 September 2026

What an hour is worth, and what stops one.

Every rule the app applies to your time in an app, in the order it applies them. We verify the time, not the person. Time comes from one place: a screenshot of your phone's own usage report, Screen Time on iPhone or Digital Wellbeing on Android, judged by AI.

Live on Robinhood Chain · sixty apps · rewards are tokenized stock

What pays out

Time in an app pays in the stock of the company behind it. When that company isn't public, you pick the stock from a short list.

Apps not on this page have no stock to give and are skipped when they appear on a screenshot. Stocks without a token on Robinhood Chain yet are paid in ETH, at the same dollar value, until Robinhood lists them. The ETH is the reward's dollar value at delivery, sent to the same wallet.

How much it pays

Twenty-five cents an hour, counted to the minute, in that app's stock. Every hour counts: no cap per app, no cap on hours. A wallet's very first hour pays $1.00 in full, once. It is retroactive: every day of September counts, the earlier ones at the same twenty-five cents.

The rule
Rate · every day of September 2026$0.25 an hour
Rate · the first 24 hours of $VESTED$2.50 an hour
Welcome, once per walletthe first 60 minutes pay $1.00
Counted per app, per dayevery minute
Earnings per wallet, per dayup to $20.00
Earnings per wallet · the first 24 hours of $VESTEDup to $50.00
Roundingdown, to the cent
Sharesreward ÷ that day's reference price

A worked example, from a screenshot showing Spotify on a wallet's first day.

Spotify · Tuesday, September 15 · first day
Minutes listened6h 20m
Counted6h 20m
First 60 minutes, in full$1.00
Remaining 5h 20m at $0.25$1.33
Rule total$2.33
Room under the day's $20$20.00
REWARD · RESERVED ON-CHAIN+$2.33 in SPOT = 0.0033 SPOT @ $690.00

The same screenshot for Tuesday, September 8 pays the same: every day of September counts at $0.25. Without the welcome, 6h 20m pays 6h 20m × $0.25 = $1.58. Claimed inside the launch window it pays ten times the rate part: $1.00 + 5h 20m × $2.50 = $14.33.

The launch window

For the first 24 hours of $VESTED, every rate is multiplied by ten and the wallet's day is bigger. It goes by when you claim, not by the day on the screenshot, so a September day claimed inside the window pays the window's rate.

The first 24 hours of $VESTED
Every verified hour$2.50 an hour
Earnings per wallet, in the windowup to $50.00
For every $100 of $VESTED held$10.00 an hour, no cap
Welcome, once per wallet$1.00, not multiplied
After 24 hoursback to $0.25 an hour, $20 a day, $1.00 an hour held

The window opens the moment $VESTED goes live and closes 24 hours later, to the second. The dashboard shows how long is left while it lasts. Holding is measured to the second, so tokens held across the close earn the window's rate for the part inside it and the ordinary rate for the rest.

Holding $VESTED

Holding the token pays on its own, on top of your hours, with no cap. It is measured in dollars, at the token's reference price, and it accrues every hour the tokens stay in the wallet.

The rule
For every $100 of $VESTED held$1.00 an hour
The first 24 hours of $VESTED$10.00 an hour
Capnone
Measuredevery ten minutes, on the smaller of the two balances
Redeemedany time, from the dashboard, into a stock you pick

Move the tokens out and the clock stops; move them back and it starts again. A balance that drops mid-hour earns on what stayed. Redeemed rewards are reserved and delivered like any other claim, and they don't count against the day's $20.

How you claim

After you sign in there are two things to do, and nothing else: claim what holding $VESTED has earned, and claim your watch time from a screenshot. Both end in a Claim button, and both land on the ledger.

Holding
Read fromyour address alone: the token's transfer history
Showswhat you hold, how long, what it has earned
Claimany time, into a stock you pick
Watch time
Senda screenshot of Screen Time or Digital Wellbeing, taken right then
You geta quote: every app on it, what each is worth, the total
Claimwithin 15 minutes, or send it again
Thensix hours before the next screenshot
The clockthe time in the status bar must match the time you send it, within 20 minutes
The daySeptember 2026 only; a "Today" total can't exceed the day so far
Computersone wallet per computer: the first wallet to claim from a machine or a browser keeps it

Apps whose stock has no token with liquidity on Robinhood Chain are flagged on the quote: that part is paid in Robinhood ETH at the same dollar value until the token exists.

The ledger

Every wallet that claims goes on a public table, in the order they first claimed: what holding earned, what watch time earned, what is owed, what has been received, whether it is paid, and the proof. Payment goes in that order. Your row says how many wallets are ahead of you.

Columns
#your place in the queue
Owed · Receiveddollars reserved for you · dollars already sent
PAID✓ when everything owed has been sent, with the transaction; ✗ until then
Proofthe receipt of the payment, added by the team

What a claim must be

A claim is one app on one day for one wallet. Both proofs feed the same claim, and a day can't be claimed twice.

Appon the list above
Claimed beforenever, for that app and day
Screenshotone day's view, never the weekly total

When two screenshots show the same app on the same day, from any phone or any wallet, the first one paid is the one that counts.

Limits per wallet

All limits are per wallet over a rolling 24 hours. There is no lifetime cap: a wallet that keeps its hours keeps earning.

Welcomeonce, ever

A late claim on a full day can pay less than the rule says: the rule is computed first, then whatever room is left under the day's $20.

How a screenshot is judged

A screenshot of iOS Screen Time or Android Digital Wellbeing is read by the AI, which returns every app with its minutes, the day shown, and a confidence from 0 to 1 that it is the real, unedited system screen. It also flags mock-ups, edits, weekly views, and per-app times that don't add up. The score and the flags decide what happens next.

Refused

Confidence below 0.2, or any flag.

Treated as junk, not a borderline case. The person is asked for a clean screenshot of one day's view.
Human review

Confidence between 0.2 and 0.6, nothing flagged.

A person sees the image, the AI's reading, and the wallet's history, then approves up to what the rule allows or rejects with a reason.
Approved

Confidence 0.6 or higher and clean.

Every listed app becomes a claim at once, and the rewards are reserved on the wallet.

What the person sees when it stops

Every refusal names its reason. These are the exact messages on the proof page.

ReasonMessage
Not a usage screenThat isn't a Screen Time or Digital Wellbeing screenshot.
Weekly viewThat's the weekly total. Open one day and send that.

From time to stock

  1. Connect your wallet.Robinhood Chain only. The wallet signs one message to prove it's yours; pasting an address is not accepted.
  2. Claim.Holding: press Claim. Watch time: send the screenshot taken right then, read the quote, press Claim. Apps that need a pick wait for your pick.
  3. The reward is reserved.It goes on the ledger at once, in the order it arrived, with the reason if a screenshot was refused.
  4. The team pays, in order.Tokenized shares where Robinhood Chain has the token, Robinhood ETH at the same value where it doesn't. The transaction and the proof of payment go next to your row.

What we don't do

We never read your messages, your library, or your location. Screenshots are kept only as a fingerprint once judged. That is why rewards from hours are capped per day and paid on-chain where anyone can audit them.

Reference prices are a daily snapshot; the share count is fixed at delivery. Rewards are tokenized stock issued by Robinhood on Robinhood Chain, subject to eligibility and region; stocks not yet listed there are paid in ETH at the same dollar value until they are. During the trial, rewards are funded by fees on the $VESTED token; the definitive version launches when Robinhood lists the token. Nothing here is an offer of securities or investment advice. Apps and brands are references, not partners. Every number on this page is a setting the team can change; this page reflects the values live on 10 September 2026.
