sats for doing
absolutely nothing.

$PACA takes a 5% cut of every trade in real bitcoin (cirBTC) and sends the bulk of it to everyone in the herd, by size of bag. Nothing to sign, nowhere to log in. If you own an alpaca, the sats find you.

how it works

three steps. you do one.

The easiest job in crypto. The alpaca does the heavy lifting.

01

adopt an alpaca

Pick up some $PACA on Argus and leave it in your wallet. Congratulations, you are now working.

02

the herd trades

Somebody buys, somebody sells. Either way 5% of it becomes cirBTC, Circle's bitcoin, backed 1:1 by real BTC.

03

sats come looking for you

Most of that bitcoin is sliced up across the whole herd, bigger bags get bigger slices, and it lands in your wallet by itself.

why an alpaca

bitcoin hit $1. the next day, the alpaca showed up.

February 9, 2011: one bitcoin is worth one dollar for the first time. February 10: a list of things you can buy with bitcoin includes alpaca wool socks, and the early bitcoiners adopt the alpaca. Nobody voted for it. It just stuck.

2011

Alpaca wool socks become one of the first products you can buy with bitcoin. The forums turn them into a meme.

2013

CoinDesk asks the question out loud: is the alpaca bitcoin's unofficial mascot?

now

The alpaca finally returns the favour, and pays its herd in bitcoin.
