Anyone can participate in the non-custodial process of staking your $ADA and NFTs to participate in the protocol. This enforces maintaining full control over ownership of their assets while leveraging the power of Cardano for mutual benefit. #### Distribute (Smart Contract Function) For each epoch (\~5 days), the $MFER is allocated in accordance with the Governance Options based on the $ADA and NFTs staked and accumulates in your [MFER iD](/mfer/mfer-dao/governance/mfer-id.md).
The MFER iD (an identification NFT) aggregates all the unclaimed $MFER to be redeemed via the Distribute smart-contract function available on the MFER Dapp at any time with a small $ADA fee.
You can view the $MFER accumulated on the blockchain via the metadata in the MFER iD. The NFTs are updated every epoch via [a collective update](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/pull/430) to all eligible staked NFTs. Only a portion of the $ADA generated by the Stake Pool is allocated to the Fuckery Protocol. The rest is awarded back to stakers based on the $ADA provided each epoch. Governance Options manage the allocation of the $ADA rewards back to the stakers and protocol with a 50/50 split as the default. The calculation for $MFER distributed each epoch involves the following: * Old Money Bill NFTs owned, with different allocations for their Stamp Colors * Amount of $ADA contributed to the Stake Pool * Amount of time $ADA has been staked in the Stake Pool * Diminishing returns if $ADA and NFT balance is off * Caps on the maximum amount of $ADA per staker if nearing pool saturation The distribution algorithm doesn't reward $MFER for simply existing. You must provide value to the protocol in exchange for your share of ownership. If you stake 100 Bills + 20 $ADA to the pool, you won't be allocated a significant portion of $MFER. On the other end of the spectrum, the algorithm incentivizes holding Bills. If you stake 1,000,000 $ADA + 0 Bills to the Stake Pool, you will be highly motivated to obtain Bills to also stake, drastically increasing your $MFER allocation. We have no intention of running multiple pools, so as the Stake Pool nears saturation, the maximum amount of $ADA required to receive the full $MFER allocation decreases. This incentivizes participants to unstake their excess $ADA from our Stake Pool and contribute to another in the Cardano ecosystem. The initial supply of $MFER is zero, but because $0.2 Bills have existed for almost two years at the time of the inception of $MFER, there is a backlog of $MFER that is distributed to accommodate. The supply of $MFER will be distributed via Staking indefinitely. There is a minimum requirement of $ADA that you must contribute to the Stake Pool to earn $MFER, which Governance Options control. Along with staking your $ADA and Old Money Bills to earn $MFER, you can stake your unclaimed & claimed $MFER to earn an exclusive NFT series only available through this method. The ability to claim the NFT is associated with your MFER iD. This creates another motivation to hold $MFER to control supply dynamics and revenue drivers through periodic claims controlled by Governance Options.

The fair distribution of $MFER ensures risk is divided among the owners of the Fuckery Protocol, who actively contribute to providing some of the value that backs it. ## AFTER INITIAL REVIEW * Add the description of total supply, decimal precision, distribution curve over time, estimated $MFER per epoch at differing stages, years of distribution, havlings periods, how future Bills can be integrated * Add the formula to calculate $MFER distribution each epoch * Add the graph for supply over time * Add a link to the website that analyzes your wallet and potential Stake Pool contribution to show your rewards over time
