What changes after genesis.

Post-genesis rewards

After genesis, PAPER/SPY and PLATE/SPY liquidity deposited in the protocol's reward pool receives oPLATE emissions alongside swap fees, plus the days 8–28 PAPER taper for the first three weeks. PLATE can be clamped into the press (deposited into the press); qualifying expansion runs can print PAPER to clamped PLATE. Read PLATE and Above target for those mechanics.

What follows genesis

The protocol's intent is a standing machine for SPY liquidity, not a repeated genesis campaign. Continuation depends on retained liquidity, reserve growth, recurring fees, and sustainable operations after incentives decline. Reward allocation, participation, market conditions, and protocol parameters can change.

Genesis PAPER emissions end on day 7, when oPLATE emissions begin. The Press Room is where continuation is rewarded: rewards & clamping, the oPLATE option that turns oPLATE rewards into PLATE, and bonds after genesis.
