# Anti-Whale Mechanics

In the world of cryptocurrencies, an anti-whale mechanism is a system that prevents huge crypto holders (whales) from negatively affecting a cryptocurrency price by selling large amounts to create panic.\
\
However, whales can also be important for a project's growth, so we don't punish them. Instead, we limit their actions with these measures:

\- Faucets have a limit of **36,500 tokens** they can pay out before they stop generating rewards.

\- There's a **7-day reward** accumulation cutoff to prevent inactive wallets from hoarding and selling off large rewards.

\- If at anytime the maximum payout is reached, tokens cannot be added anymore.

\- When someone makes a claim and withdraws tokens, the locked amount decreases by the withdrawn amount.

These safeguards help maintain the project's health while still allowing community support and growth for newer members
