Two of the questions we are asked often is why we charge for early mining, and why there are daily caps.

Mining license sales help generate early revenue/funding for operations without solely relying on investor funding, and without ever launching an ICO. In exchange for their support, early miners obtain Gajus at the least level of difficulty, with modest hardware resources until Protected Mining ends in 2027.

Daily caps provide a hard stop on the amount of Gajus a miner can obtain within a day, curbing the urge to hoard Gajus by removing the ability to do it at all.

Providing a variety of mining licenses with different daily caps enables the distribution of Gajus across a larger population of small-scale miners, therefore avoiding the concentration of Gajus among a few mega wallets belonging to a handful of mega miners.
