Where rewards come from
The Vault is the protocol treasury on flap.sh. It funds the epoch reward pool without a premine.
Where fees go today
Trading fees on BAUD route to the creator wallet, which is the protocol treasury. The creator wallet is used only for the protocol: all fees are used for mining. They fund the epoch reward pool, the coordinator infrastructure that runs it, and BAUD buybacks that keep the pool topped up. None of it is taken as personal profit, and every movement is visible on chain at the published address. When the Vault contract is deployed the treasury moves there and the same flows become automatic and contract enforced.
Why a vault instead of a premine
The fair launch allocates nothing to the team, so there is no insider stack to pay miners from. Instead the protocol funds itself from the market: the Vault accumulates BAUD and pays it out as epoch emission.
The contract
The Vault is a flap.sh compatible contract implementing VaultBaseV3. It is
registered as the token's funds recipient wallet, so trading tax flows to it
automatically. It has no hooks into the token's transfer path: it can only ever receive,
which means it cannot affect swaps, routing, or liquidity.
Revenue split
| Bucket | Share | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
rewardsPool | 60% | Epoch rewards paid to miners |
buybackReserve | 25% | Buying BAUD on the open market |
opsReserve | 15% | Coordinator hosting, RPC, indexing |
The split is a governed parameter and every change emits an event on chain.
How miners are paid
After an epoch settles, the coordinator calls allocate() to move rewards
from the pool into per miner balances. Miners then call claim() whenever
they like. Payouts are pull based, so a single unresponsive recipient can never block a
settlement, and unclaimed rewards accumulate safely.
allocate(address[] recipients, uint256[] amounts) // coordinator, after settlement claim() // miner, any time claimable(address) // anyone, read only
Inflows
| Source | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Trading tax | Routed to the Vault automatically by the token's tax processor |
| Activation fees | A portion burns, the remainder can be routed to the Vault by governance |
| Marketplace fees | A small basis point cut on rig sales |
| Community contributions | Direct transfers to the published Vault address, recognized by sync() |
Outflows
Only two: the epoch emission and the bonus reserve top up. Both are governed parameters, both are visible on chain, and neither can be redirected to an individual.
Verifiability
The Vault address is published at launch. Every inflow and outflow is a BNB Chain transaction, so anyone can audit the runway and confirm that emissions match what the dashboard reports.
