Incentive Layers
💸 Incentive Layers – Rewarding Real Contribution
Orypton’s reward system ensures that every contributor is compensated precisely once for the value they create, preventing overlapping rewards and keeping inflation under control.
To achieve this, rewards are distributed through two minting layers:
Performance-based minting (per-epoch) — exclusive to Specialized Managers
Annual governance minting — for active voters and Certified Managers
Each vault defines its own epoch (closing cycle) based on the nature of the investment strategy. Rewards are only triggered once profits are realised on-chain.
⮕ Vault Performance Minting (Operational Layer)
Recipients
Specialized Managers managing real capital accounts ($50k – $1M)
Trigger
Vault’s epoch close with positive ROI
Minting rate
15 % of that profit, converted into $ORY at oracle price
Frequency
Depends on the vault’s epochLength (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.)
Token usage
Freely accessible; large sell-offs may require DAO approval
⮕ Annual Governance Minting (Strategic Layer)
Recipients
• Certified Managers with ≥ 1 DAO-approved proposal • Voters who participated in ≥ X % of all annual governance proposals
Trigger
Net protocol-wide profit at fiscal year-end
Minting rate
10 % of total annual profit
Exclusion
Specialized Managers do not receive this emission
⮕ Additional Safeguards
Inflation cap: Maximum of 1 % of circulating supply per 12-month rolling window.
Buy-back & burn: If emissions exceed cap, the protocol uses treasury funds to buy and burn $ORY.
Automatic pauses: If a vault surpasses drawdown or volatility limits, the AI Sentinel pauses operations, halting minting until resolved.
This epoch-based model aligns reward cadence with the true economic rhythm of each strategy, ensures fair compensation, and protects the long-term value of $ORY for all stakeholders.
