Deposit DAI, race for quota

A round opens every day: one quota for the whole network, first come, first served.

No limit per address; the DAI goes straight to the protocol reserve.

Turn it into power

Deposited DAI counts as power at the on-chain rate; it queues and is active after the next settlement.

Power is priced in DAI; it is not a token and cannot be traded freely.

Paid out in AiLGNS daily

Settled once a day: a share of the remaining power is paid out, converted to AiLGNS at the protocol price.

The value paid comes off the remaining power whether you claim it or not; the protocol price is the pool's average over the past hour.

Claim into the Turbine, activate

Claimed AiLGNS enters the Turbine; activating it takes buying the same amount from the pool with DAI, plus a 2.5% fee.

After activation one part arrives at once and the other unlocks after 24 hours; per the official dApp, 1% of the fee goes to voting incentives.

Sell for DAI

AiLGNS can be sold in the AiLGNS/DAI pool for a fee; the DAI can be deposited again.

1% of the sell fee goes to the voting addresses each epoch.

Lock or burn for ve

Lock AiLGNS into ve: the longer the lock has left, the more weight it carries. Or burn it for permanent ve.

An epoch is 7 days; ve shrinks with the epochs left.

Vote, earn incentives, level up

ve holders vote for pools every week and share the voting incentives; the official P levels also count ve value.

Votes close every Sunday at 20:00 (UTC+8); incentives come from 1% of the Turbine fee and 1% of the sell fee.

Team and community: dynamic rewards

The official team computes the community's dynamic rewards off-chain and submits them; claimed rewards also enter the Turbine.

The official docs split them by P level, zones and weight, but the rules are not published yet; claiming uses Production NFT quota.
