# HIVE: Daily Participation & HONEY Generation Key Mechanics: 1\. Daily Cycle ○ Hive operates on a 24-hour cycle. ○ Each cycle resets automatically every day. \ 2\. User Participation ○ Users participate by depositing PLS and selecting the number of Flowers and Bees, which determine their allocation share. ○ Participation is open to all, encouraging daily engagement and decentralised contribution. \ 3\. Reward Claiming ○ At the end of each cycle, users can claim their HONEY tokens based on their share of contributions. 4\. Post-Claim Options ○ Claimed HONEY can be: ■ Sold or traded on Decentralised Exchanges (DEX), or ■ Staked in the BeeKeeper contract to earn longer-term protocol rewards. 5\. PLS Distribution to Ecosystem Contracts ○ All PLS deposited in Hive is allocated to various contracts. ○ Distribution must be manually triggered via a public function on the Nectar Burn page. ○ The caller is rewarded with a portion of the ecosystem's reward pool, incentivising community participation. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
