Update: more refunds went out today.
We've now spent 44% of the creator rewards received so far on reimbursements, and on top of that the team is also putting in our own funds to help cover payouts.
We're checking every claim one by one, buy tx hashes, snapshot numbers, wallet activity, before anything gets paid out. That's why the bigger or more complicated claims are taking a bit longer. We'd rather do this right than rush it.
If you've put in a request, keep an eye on your wallet, funds are going out on a rolling basis as we finish verifying and as more fees come in. You can track it all here: robinhoodchain.blockscout.co…
In the background we're also working on some updates to the tech, so expect some cool posts about that soon too.
We'll keep posting updates as we go. Thanks for bearing with us while we get through this properly.

Update: we've begun sending out the first reimbursement payments.
These funds come from creator fees generated by the relaunched token, so payments are going out in phases as more fees come in, rather than all at once. We're continuing to verify the remaining requests, and will keep paying out as that work gets done. Larger and more complex claims are taking longer to check properly, so please bear with us there.
For anyone who wants to track how funds are being distributed, you can follow the wallet here: robinhoodchain.blockscout.co…
We plan to continue this for as long as it takes to work through every legitimate request, however long that takes.
Getting through this properly means we can shift our focus back to building. Cestus is a utility project, and the first of its kind on RH, and we want to put the coming period into development and pushing the project forward. Reimbursements were the right thing to do first, but they're not the end goal, the product is.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a request. We've received 327 in total, and the form is now closed.
We're starting verification against the snapshot and on-chain data, and payments will go out in phases as requests are verified, starting with the first batch tomorrow. This isn't all requests at once, larger and more complex claims will take longer to check properly.
Payments will be sent to the RH wallet address provided in your submission. We'll publish the total amount allocated and every payout on-chain as we go.
This is the only official request thread. We will never DM you or ask for a seed phrase or private key.
We remain committed to the long-term success of Cestus, and this is one part of that.
We understand that many of you experienced losses following the Cestus relaunch, and we're sorry for how this played out. The relaunch was necessary to secure the funding needed to sustain and develop the project, but the rollout and communication around it could have been handled better.
To begin making this right, we are allocating creator fees from the relaunched token to reimburse eligible initial investments (excluding profits). Payouts are subject to verification and available funds, and may be made pro-rata.
Reimbursement request form (submissions close 3 days after this post): forms.gle/yQxBdhHk545mdJBm7
The 3 days applies only to submitting a request. After that, we will verify all submissions against the snapshot and on-chain data, then publish the total amount allocated and every payout on-chain.
This is the only official request link. We will never DM you or ask for a seed phrase or private key.

Reminder: the Cestus reimbursement request form closes tomorrow, Sept 23 at 19:47 UTC.
We've had 279 requests come in so far. If you haven't submitted yours yet, now's the time.
Please include as much detail as you can (wallet address, buy and sell tx hashes). It helps us verify claims properly, especially since we've seen some submissions from wallets that are actually in profit. Those won't be eligible.
Form: forms.gle/yQxBdhHk545mdJBm7
This is the only official link. We'll never DM you or ask for a seed phrase or private key.
We're committed to seeing this through. Cestus is moving forward and we value this community, this is part of making things right.

One request. Video out. Did you know you can generate videos like the one below via API on Cestus?
Use the /v1/videos/generations endpoint today.
Example request:
POST /v1/videos/generations HTTP/1.1
Host: api.cestus.network
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
{
"model": "wan2.1-t2v-1.3b",
"prompt": "a lovely cat walking",
"size": "832x480",

Compensation scheme
Following the decision to re-launch the Cestus Network project in consultation with the Pons launchpad team as per our original post.
We're aware that many investors in the original Contract were impacted.
As a result we have taken a snapshot and are working internally on a compensation scheme for all those affected. We will share more details soon.
Cestus Network is a legitimate project focused on AI and our focus is on the long term development of the project.

Step 2:
With you API key you can now make an inference call, start first with listing the available models.
GET /v1/models HTTP/1.1
Host: api.cestus.network
Authorization: Bearer (YOUR API KEY)
Accept: */*
This will return the available models.

Step 3:
You're now ready to make an inference call to any of the available models.
Example call:
POST /v1/chat/completions HTTP/1.1 Host: api.cestus.network Authorization: Bearer (YOUR API KEY) Content-Type: application/json Accept: */* Content-Length: 70 { "model": "qwen3.6-35b", "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": "hello" } ] }

We have just bought back and burnt more than 1% of the supply.
Tx hash:
robin.etherscan.io/tx/0x141f…
20% of creator fees received will continue to be appropriated for further buybacks and burns. This will create a flywheel which was not possible with the last CA.

Hey everyone,
We want to share an important update on Cestus and the reasons behind it.
Since the original launch, the Cestus team has not received any creator fees. We took this up with the Pons launchpad team and worked with them to find a fix. After reviewing the situation, their recommendation was that the best path forward is to re-launch the token.
We know a re-launch isn't ideal, so here's why it matters. Creator rewards exist to give builders the means to keep building. With the current setup, the team hasn't earned a single cent from fees, and the dev allocation is locked up as well. Without any funding, it's very hard to cover project expenses and operating costs, let alone grow the project.
Cestus is an AI utility project, and the first of its kind on RH. We want it to have a long-term future, and that requires the team to have the resources to keep developing, shipping and supporting the community.
What this means for you
The token has been re-launched and the new contract address is 0x6b1ca8209a695b27835964c00ac398f5d4f87a22
Thank you all for your patience and support. We're committed to building Cestus into something worthwhile, and this re-launch is a necessary step to make that possible.
Please be careful: only trust the contract address posted in our official channels. We will never DM you asking for funds.
The Cestus Team

Understanding Cestus Network tech a quick thread 🧵
1/ What is Cestus?
The AI inference market is expected to grow to $255B by 2030.
Cestus Network was built to meet this demand, by providing a permissionless inference network which enables end-users to run inference via an API endpoint and distributed across GPU's on the network.

The team has experience in growing decentralized compute and AI, and initially on launch the platform was made available for free with limited capacity.
A try-before-you-buy approach.
Following the initial launch, payments will be implemented and on-boarding of new GPU providers.
