The payment series

Aggregating 2021 receipts per address surfaced a single collecting address that received ~20M ADA in most months of the year:

Its 2021 receipts: nine ≥20M monthly payments, plus two negligible dust outputs (shown but excluded from the cadence/gap analysis):

Gaps are measured payment-to-payment across the nine, so the two off-cadence dust outputs do not enter the cadence.

Observations

  • Cadence: gaps of 24–35 days, genuinely monthly, not a calendar-binning artifact.
  • Amount: a recurring, deliberate 20,200,000 ADA (one month 22.2M).
  • Total:184.8M ADA across the year.
  • Dedicated address: this address has no receipts in any other year, before 2021 or after. It was created for this stream and then went quiet, which is exactly the profile of a salary / vesting destination.

The tweet said "10 months"; the chain shows 9 payments across 8 calendar months (Apr–Nov). Close, with the first month (April) containing the initial payment plus the start of the monthly rhythm.
