# Understanding PESS

PESS is a utility token with an economic structure designed to adjust issuance based on advertising performance and align with community growth.

<mark style="color:orange;">**1. Mining Structure Overview**</mark>

* <sub>**Base Mining**</sub><sub>: 200 PESS per day</sub>
* <sub>**Ad Rewards**</sub><sub>: 200 PESS per ad viewed, up to 4 views per day</sub>
* **Maximum mining amount: 200 (basic) + 4×200 (ads) = 1,000 PESS/day** *(Adjusted starting from August 2025)*

***

<mark style="color:orange;">**2. Individual Mining Variance**</mark>

* <sub>**No Ads Viewed**</sub><sub>: 200 PESS/day</sub>
* <sub>**1–3 Ads Viewed**</sub><sub>: 400–800 PESS/day</sub>
* <sub>**4 Ads Viewed**</sub><sub>: 1,000 PESS/day</sub>

> <sub>In other words, each user’s daily yield depends directly on how many ads they watch.</sub>

<mark style="color:orange;">**3. Linking Ad Revenue to Ecosystem Health**</mark>

* <sub>More ad views → higher total ad revenue → increased funds for operations, development, and listing reserves → greater capacity for user rewards</sub>
* <sub>Fewer ad views → lower revenue → reward pool shrinks, necessitating yield adjustments</sub><br>

1. Starting June 2025, the basic reward will decrease by 100 PESS each month.
2. From 2026, daily and monthly statistics on ad views and total revenue over the previous 3 months will be collected.
3. Every quarter (every 3 months), the following will be adjusted based on realistic profitability:\
   • Basic mining reward\
   • Reward per ad\
   • Maximum number of ads per day
4. Through this system:\
   • Excessive inflation is prevented\
   • Advertisers are provided with a stable revenue structure\
   • Users are guaranteed a consistent reward experience<br>
