⁉️FAQ

Gameplay & Economy

Q: Why does my yield sometimes spike or dip minute‑to‑minute? A: SolFish runs on a quantum‑responsive emission throttle—a fancy term for an algorithm that reads real‑time burn‑to‑mint ratios, then nudges the global_multiplier up or down on a block‑by‑block basis. When more $FISH is being incinerated via daily spins or instant‑unstakes, the protocol rewards you by widening the yield faucet; when minting starts to outpace conflagration, the faucet politely narrows. It’s the on‑chain equivalent of a self‑balancing eco‑pond.

Q: I bought a Diamond Rod, but my friend’s Jade Rod seems to ROI faster. Why? A: ROI is a tapestry woven from three threads: (1) entry cost, (2) hourly yield, and (3) token price. During bullish surges, premium rods outpace mid‑tiers; in sideways seas, lower caps have shorter claw‑back horizons. Use the Yield Simulator to model every macro mood swing before you splurge.

Q: Can rods break? A: Not at launch. Durability mechanics are toggled off until the community green‑lights the sink via an on‑chain poll. Once activated, rods will gently degrade, inviting the blacksmith economy and adding a repair mini‑loop for maximal engagement.

Q: Is there a capped max supply of rods? A: Rod NFTs are elastic‑supply collectibles: each tier has a soft cap driven by bonding curves. As demand swells, mint cost rises non‑linearly, discouraging hyper‑inflation without imposing a hard ceiling.

🔒 Account, Wallet & Security

Q: What if I accidentally sign a malicious transaction elsewhere—can my SolFish assets be drained? A: Your rods and $FISH remain under your Solana wallet’s domain. If you grant infinite approvals to malevolent dApps, any SPL token (including $FISH) is at risk. Keep a hardware wallet for high‑value fishing arsenals, and revoke approvals via Solana Explorer > Token Approvals once a week.

Q: Is the Privy wallet exportable? A: Yes—hit Settings → Export Key to back up your mnemonic. You can then import into Phantom, Backpack, or Ledger Live. The export file is AES‑256‑GCM encrypted; only your browser‑local passphrase can decrypt it.

Q: What happens if Solana halts? A: Our Graceful Degradation Protocol queues yield calculations off‑chain, authenticated by snapshot merkle proofs. Once the chain resumes, one mega‑claim retroactively credits your wallet, ensuring no fish goes un‑caught.

⚖️ Legal, Tax & Regulatory

Q: Is $FISH a security? A: We commissioned Memeco & Co. LLP to issue a preliminary opinion stating that $FISH qualifies as an in‑game utility token lacking profit‑share guarantees, thus side‑stepping Howey land. Jurisdictional mileage may vary—consult a licensed advisor.

Q: Will I owe taxes on claimed $FISH? A: In most regions, yes—claim events are typically taxed as ordinary income at the USD value on the timestamp of receipt. Our Tax Toolkit CSV Exporter spits out ISO‑compliant ledgers for your accountant or favourite crypto tax app.
