# 10.1 The Circulation Cycle

#### **Rewards (Inflow)**

* **BIND → Rewards**
  * From Mini stage: **Econ**
  * If conditions are met: **EVT** (with 24h cooldown)
* **Rules**
  * $1–15: Small return
  * $15–100: Efficient return
  * $100+: Fixed (splitting into multiple payments does not increase rewards)

#### **Costs (Outflow)**

* **Lifespan / HP recovery** (MANEKINEKO NFT, via EVT/Econ)
* **Upgrades & Conversion** (Econ / EVT / MANEKINEKO NFT)
* **Breeding** (Econ / EVT / Taiyaki + cooldown)
* **Withdrawal fees** (only when transferring outside the game)

👉 The key is that **part of what you earn must be reinvested into maintenance and growth**, keeping the play cycle alive.
