This 10% tax goes to the contract balance. Based on the after-tax amount of the deposit, a 10% reward is granted from the contract balance. For the Order of SLIME, this reward goes to your Guru’s REWARDS assuming they qualify for rewards. For the BioPunks/Auto-OOZE this goes to the development wallet and helps pay for marketing, project maintenance, and development. However if you were referred by an Order of SLIME member, the first deposit tax reward for a BioPunk NFT goes to the referrer’s REWARDS. ### Your deposit will generate a base amount of 1% daily return on your OOZE BALANCE in the Sewer. Your total OOZE BALANCE is made up of all the various OOZE you have from deposits, compounding, and rewards: ![](/files/YOWAGAjXfyyppEl8Tr60) This 1% daily return is made available in a linear manner and shows up in your AVAILABLE balance. ![](/files/xebcB1ie3HrSfoZGko2F) You can increase your daily ROI via XP spent on SPEED. [See XP section.](/ooze-finance-whitepaper/xp/spending-xp.md) ### At any time, your AVAILABLE amount may be compounded, or it may be claimed. Compounding your AVAILABLE amount adds it to your COMPOUNDS, and therefore your BALANCE, increasing the amount you are earning 1% on. Compounding has a 10% tax, some of which will be refunded to you based on either your Guru’s kickback rate, or the STEALTH stat of your NFT (see [Order of SLIME](/ooze-finance-whitepaper/the-sewer/nft-basic-rules-and-rewards/order-of-slime-additional-features.md) and [BioPunks ](/ooze-finance-whitepaper/the-sewer/nft-basic-rules-and-rewards/biopunks-additional-features.md)features). \ \ Claiming your AVAILABLE amount moves the available OOZE balance to your wallet, minus a 10% claim fee, which goes to the contract balance. ### Your BALANCE can be grown to a base level of at most 8x your DEPOSIT through compounding and receiving rewards. ![](/files/wRpxL5tQkm7SZHuYjLzu) In addition, you can claim at most 365% of your BALANCE. You can increase the longevity of a given NFT by either depositing fresh capital into that NFT, hence raising the DEPOSIT, or by claiming and then redepositing that capital into the same NFT, hitting the claim and deposit taxes and raising your DEPOSIT. This allows you to continue growing based on the increase in your deposited amount. You can also increase the longevity by upgrading your NFTs STRENGTH/Max Balance. See [XP section](/ooze-finance-whitepaper/xp.md) below. ### NFTs are upgradable. Upgrade NFTs by earning and then allocating XP (Xtra Potential) to unlock bonuses to your STRENGTH (Max Balance), SPEED (daily ROI), and STEALTH (tax kickback). Full details in [XP section](/ooze-finance-whitepaper/xp.md) below. ### There is a maximum of 50,000 OOZE tokens paid out per NFT. Your payout is tracked as the sum of your pre-tax claims and your pre-tax compounds. ### NFTs are sellable. They are sellable on NFT marketplaces for a 5% royalty tax which is charged on the sale amount if transferring on an approved NFT sale site. This 5% tax (which may be paid in a different token depending on the NFT marketplace) goes to a holding wallet where it will be used to purchase OOZE and send back to the contract balance. ### NFTs are directly transferable wallet to wallet for a 1% transfer tax, charged on the deposit amount. This tax goes to the contract balance. ### Both Order of Slime and Biopunks have the ability to airdrop OOZE to other members' NFTs. This OOZE comes from your wallet and is deposited into their REWARDS, increasing their BALANCE. Doing this is one way to earn [XP](/ooze-finance-whitepaper/xp.md), as long as you select which NFT you wish to credit the XP to. Airdrops incur a 10% tax, which goes to the contract balance. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
