Users accumulate an Internal Reward token called <mark style="color:blue;">Mana</mark> by staking NFTs and voxel assets, this mana has an upper limit and is both soft and hard capped. It is represented by a horizontal “mana bar” at the top of the interface similar to an RPG system which visually quantifies numbers in an easy to view format. As users strategically pair assets, match colors, and configure characters in party slots, their mana accumulation rate increases, allowing them to maximize rewards through thoughtful combinations. Once the mana bar is fully charged, they can summon a "waifu," enhancing gameplay and customization options.

Designed for all levels of interest, our ecosystem offers multiple ports of entry: you can choose to invest directly in our coin or dive into the "Waifu Party" experience at any level. Collect a team of 1-star waifus on a budget, or go all out to secure a 5-star lineup that boosts the cause. With a vast mix of color and star combinations, each NFT character type holds unique value, creating a balanced market without a single dominant meta. And this setup empowers everyone—from those splurging on 1-stars for under $100 to whales dropping $5,000 for a top-tier team. Our platform is designed to match any investment level, making it accessible and versatile for all.

**Summoning Waifus:** A fully charged mana bar enables users to “summon” a Waifu, a process that interacts with the blockchain-based generative contract.

**Contract Allocation:** This contract dedicates half of the funds to supporting artists and maintaining the project, while the other half fuels platform liquidity and interest pools . In addition there will be a “ small “ treasury equal to 10% of all fees collected that will be managed by our resident V-tuber AI Hikari-chan!! Will she invest in North Korean rockets?? Or maybe she will crash the stock exchange leading to world war 4 ? only time can tell… \* the threshold of just how much of the treasury she controls can be adjusted via DAO community proposals.

**Additional Utility of Mana:** Mana serves beyond summons, extending into platform interactions and AI-driven experiences:

### Banner System and Generative Contracts

Our summoning system cycle operates similar to popular Asian mobile games, we have a general character banner as well as seasonal and weekly banners, through a dynamic banner system within a generative contract, we offering consistent opportunities for fans to collect exclusive waifus throughout the year:

**Annual "General" Banners:** Released once a year, these comprehensive banners contain a limited selection of 10,000 assets—typically 7,200 voxel assets and 2,800 NFTs, each ranging from 1 to 5 stars. This is the Premiere method for summoning top-tier waifus and voxel assets for your collection.

**Monthly and Seasonal Banners:** Available for limited periods of time, The assets included here are a mix of standalone “ Waifu “ NFTs for mana regeneration and generative “Aura” NFTs for enhancing summoning outcomes.

**Weekly Banners:** 3 Voxel Waifus x 100 copies = 300 voxel waifus.

Each limited banner offers four valuable opportunities: (1) the chance to collect generative artworks that, when staked in your "Aura" slot, permanently increase your chances of summoning a 5-star by up to 5%, (2) the ability to collect voxel characters which are required for mana regeneration slots, (3) voxel weapons and accessories imbued with sandbox catalysts, and (4) additional NFTs. This banner system brings strategic layers to collecting and summoning, making each season and special event an exciting chance to enhance your waifu party and boost your overall gameplay experience.

**AI Interaction Tokens:** Users can use mana to engage directly with Waifu X’s virtual characters.

This could include playful interactions, such as tossing an object at the AI Vtuber or initiating a customized animation, enhancing the social and interactive elements of the metaverse.

**Offsetting Platform Costs:** For loyal users who participate actively in staking and asset accumulation, Mana can help offset platform surcharges tied to AI services. This creates an ecosystem where users who contribute to the metaverse are rewarded with cost-saving mechanisms.

**DAO-Driven Expansion:** The rules governing mana’s use and functionality are designed to be flexible, with additional utility determined by the Waifu X DAO. Through community input, new features and uses for mana can be introduced, aligning with evolving user interests and ensuring a dynamic, community-shaped metaverse.

### Mana Mechanics

Mana is a non-tradeable, replenishable resource that users earn by staking NFT and voxel assets. It fuels gameplay activities, allowing users to summon new characters, unlock exclusive content, and interact with AI avatars. Strategic pairing of NFT assets by color and rarity tier boosts mana generation, enabling thoughtful asset management for enhanced rewards.

### Advantages of the Mana System for Users

In Waifuverse, users receive more than a simple Waifu NFT: they unlock staking, strategic pairing and matching, fractionalizing investments over time and the leveling up of voxel assets while also gaining mana and summoning more waifus into their collection or selling them for tidy profit providing benefits that extend beyond traditional asset ownership.

**Enhanced Summoning Control:** Users can influence their mana generation rates upon staking assets, ultimately allowing more frequent and efficient summons.

**Economic Participation and Rewards:** The system contributes to the platform’s liquidity and community staking pools. It offers users a passive means to generate value within the ecosystem while enhancing their in-game experience.

**Platform Engagement and Cost Offset:** Active participants who utilize mana within the Waifu X ecosystem gain loyalty-driven cost reductions, while the system’s gamified mechanics promote ongoing user involvement.

### Mana Generation and Long term Benefits

NFTs start out with a 100% mana regeneration bonus for their first year. This bonus decreases by 25% each year. After 4 years, the NFT becomes a legacy NFT and no longer boosts mana regeneration. Instead, legacy NFTs provide a small boost to your total mana capacity for summoning new NFTs as well as a limited 1% luck bonus on summoning 5 stars.

### NFT and Merchandise Aggregator

We are building a nexus for “ waifu “ content across all platforms. An NFT aggregator specifically curated and voted on by the community, as well as a merchandise hub for anime goods. Through our rewards program, users can earn points on specific physical merchandise that can be converted into a small amount of mana ( limit 1x per month ), seamlessly connecting the NFT experience with traditional anime merchandise in one cohesive ecosystem while also providing additional funding sources for the tokenomics that fuel our community coin.

### Mana Generation and Summoning

Users can accumulate “mana” by staking voxel assets within the 5 party member slots ( match the voxel assets with its respective summon for up to 200% mana regeneration ), gradually over the course of time, the mana bar will fill. Once fully charged, you can choose to spend this mana or have it stack up to three times, Once this mana is expended, you are able to summon for free within the premiere generative banner. This system creates a capped but fair system for progression that does not devalue the system while being intrinsic to its growth.

Additionally, staking NFT and voxel assets in specific ways provides a bonus to mana generation that AI-free gacha cards cannot offer, rewarding players who strategically manage their assets.
