5. Vault & Incentive Layer

5.1 Centralized View of Earnings

The Vault is where all protocol rewards flow. It is the interface through which users can stake $MAI, track their play-based rewards, view referral progress, and claim bonuses. It acts as a unifying layer for all incentive flows.

5.2 Staking Mechanics

When users stake $MAI, they become eligible for:

  • A proportional share of protocol fees

  • Enhanced game-based rewards

  • Access to future governance features

Staked $MAI can be withdrawn at any time, though reward eligibility may depend on lock duration.

5.3 Referrals

Referral systems have long powered growth in high-volume applications. On MAI, referrals are structured with:

  • Direct share of rakeback from referred users

  • Volume-based tiers

  • Auto-compounding of referral earnings into Vault rewards

5.4 Early Incentives

Users who participate during the alpha phase—by playing, staking, or referring—will be eligible for retroactive token drops, multipliers, and long-term Vault boosts. These rewards are protocol-native and non-custodial.
