# Introduction

Published 2022-09-18

Decay is an important concept when it comes to building a sustainable blockchain ecosystem. In the blockchain world, decay is the phenomenon of the gradual decline in the value of a user's tokens over a certain period of time due to changes in the market. This concept is important because it can help identify when a particular token is no longer viable or when its value has diminished to a point where it should be discarded in favor of a newer, more reliable option.

# Strategy

Decay is important because it helps to ensure that the ecosystem remains healthy and vibrant. The ecosystem is set up in a way so revenue automatically increase various treasuries. The reward pool is the most important pool which is used to incentivize ecosystem participants. The rewards are distributed of x days, also called the reward lifetime.

These details are applied as a decay strategy:

DNFT	Price	ROI	Lifetime	Extension in days (minimum)	Extension price
Vega	$5000	130 days	325 days	65 days	TBD
Sirius	$2500	170 days	340 days	68 days	TBD
Rigel	$500	240 days	480 days	96 days	TBD

We designed the protocol and ecosystem in a way that will ultimately increase the extension of each DNFT.

Knowing that an infinite reward lifetime is not a possibility is essential. What is possible: build revenue streams that will increase the reward pools for an endless amount of time. Revenue streams allow us to offer solutions to extend the reward lifetime of our DNFTs and release new products that you can use to generate rewards.
