GitBook Assistant ##### Good night I'm here to help you with the docs. What is this page about?What should I read next?Can you give an example? Ctrli AI Based on your context Send The goal of Macaron is to create a "mining flywheel" where users compete to mine tokens through different macaron flavors, each with unique mining rate, measured in the amount of $MACARON mined per second. Core Ideas * Macaron Theme: The project uses macaron imagery to make mining fun and accessible. A 2x2 map represents a "tray of pastries" with 4 different macaron flavors, each as an independent "mine slot". * Competitive Mining: Only one person can mine at each macaron flavor at a time. Users must bid to "seize" the position, creating competitive dynamics and transaction fees. * Sustainable Tokenomics: Auction fees are distributed to incentivize holders, reduce supply, support staking, and platform fees.

GitBook Assistant ##### Good night I'm here to help you with the docs. What is this page about?What should I read next?Can you give an example? Ctrli AI Based on your context Send Macaron uses a continuous Dutch auction mining mechanism (dynamic price changes), Built on Solana to take advantage of high speeds and low fees. ### [](https://docs.macaron.bid/protocol/mining-and-auction#mining-process) Mining Process * Only one person can mine at each macaron flavor at a time. Mining automatically gives $MACARON according to the flavor's mining rate. * Start or Seize Position: To start mining or "rob" from someone else, pay the "Auction SOL" to own the Macaron. ### [](https://docs.macaron.bid/protocol/mining-and-auction#auction-mechanism) Auction Mechanism #### [](https://docs.macaron.bid/protocol/mining-and-auction#each-macaron-cake-is-its-own-market) Each Macaron Cake Is Its Own Market * Each Macaron flavor has its own independent auction. * At any time, each cake has exactly one owner. #### [](https://docs.macaron.bid/protocol/mining-and-auction#dutch-auction-price-doubles-then-falls-to-zero-in-1-hour) Dutch Auction – Price Doubles Then Falls to Zero in 1 Hour Macaron uses a custom Dutch auction with two key rules: 1. When someone successfully bids for a Macaron (wins the auction): * The initial price for the next auction of that same Macaron flavor immediately **doubles** compared to the price that was just paid. * This makes the cake more “expensive” right after a successful steal, rewarding early risk-takers and punishing late FOMO. 2. After this new initial price is set, the price then: * Decreases linearly over time. * And goes all the way down to 0 SOL over the course of 1 hour.

Ctrli AI Based on your context Send When someone seizes a position, 100% Auction Price is allocated as follows: * **85%** to previous owner: Returned to the previous miner, creating incentive to defend position. * **10%** buyback and burn: Used to buy back $MACARON and burn, reducing token supply and increasing value. * **3%** for Staking: Allocated to staking pool to reward $MACARON holders. * **2%** → Dev & Platform Maintenance.

GitBook Assistant ##### Good night I'm here to help you with the docs. What is this page about?What should I read next?Can you give an example? Ctrli AI Based on your context Send The Auction Contribution Pool lets many small users team up to win a Macaron cake together, instead of fighting alone against big wallets. #### [](https://docs.macaron.bid/protocol/auction-contribution-pool#id-1.-idea) 1\. Idea * Normally, in a Dutch auction, 1 person pays the full SOL price to take a Macaron cake. * With the Auction Pool, many people can contribute small amounts of SOL into one shared pool. * When the pool has enough SOL, it will place a bid as if it was a single big player. #### [](https://docs.macaron.bid/protocol/auction-contribution-pool#id-2.-how-it-works) 2\. How it works **A. Users contribute SOL** * Anyone can send SOL into the **Auction Contribution Pool** for a specific Macaron cake. * The minimum join Auction pool is 0.01 SOL * Each user’s share is recorded. **B. If the pool fails to reach the target** * Everyone simply gets their SOL back. * No fee, no penalty. **C. Win the auction** * The “target price” is the current auction price needed to win that Macaron cake. * If the total SOL in the group reaches or exceeds the auction's current price, the contributors will own the macaron, and the mining reward will be divided equally based on their percentage of contribution. > If the pool has not yet reached the auction price and no one else joins until the auction price drops down to match the pool balance, the contract will automatically place the bid and the pool wins. > If the pool total goes above the current auction price, the pool still wins, and the last contributor to the pool will be refunded any extra SOL that was not needed.

Ctrli AI Based on your context Send Macaron uses a Refining system to reward players who are patient and hold their mining rewards longer. Instead of receiving instantly “final” $MACARON, your mining rewards are first tracked as unrefined $MACARON. #### [](https://docs.macaron.bid/protocol/refining#unrefined-usdmacaron) Unrefined $MACARON When you own a Macaron cake, you earn unrefined $MACARON Claim = Refining (10% fee) When you press Claim, the protocol: * Converts your unrefined $MACARON into refined $MACARON * Takes a 10% refining fee on the amount you claim. #### [](https://docs.macaron.bid/protocol/refining#who-gets-the-10-fee) Who gets the 10% fee? * It is redistributed to all players who still hold unrefined $MACARON (have not claimed yet), proportional to their unrefined balance.

GitBook Assistant ##### Good night I'm here to help you with the docs. What is this page about?What should I read next?Can you give an example? Ctrli AI Based on your context Send Halving events occur every 28 days, where the entire map's mining rate is reduced by 50%. This mechanism is inspired by Bitcoin's halving model and is designed to control token inflation, promote scarcity, and ensure the maximum supply of 21,000,000 $MACARON is reached gradually. * Initial mining rate: 4 $MACARON/s (distributed as 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 across the flavors). * Post-Halving: After each halving, the mining rate for each flavor is halved, reducing overall emissions. * Impact: Increasing token value over time as mining rewards decrease, encouraging early participation and long-term holding. * Schedule: Halving every 28 days [PreviousTokenomics](https://docs.macaron.bid/more/tokenomics) [NextOfficial link](https://docs.macaron.bid/more/official-link) Last updated 8 days ago --- # Official link | MACARON GitBook Assistant GitBook Assistant Working...Thinking...
