TERMINAL ECONOMY (Credits Info)

The AI Mutants network operates on a self-sustaining digital economy designed to reward active creators and regulate server bandwidth.

WHAT ARE CREDITS?
Credits (CR) are the standard utility token of the grid. Because storing and streaming high-quality audio and images requires server resources, we use credits to manage the upload flow. Every time you upload a new track or image to the archive, a small credit fee is deducted from your balance.

EARNING CREDITS

Store Terminal: You can inject credits directly into your account via the store.

Market Ledger: Sell your best generated tracks to other users. When a user buys your track on the market, the credits are transferred to your balance (minus a standard platform tax).

Network Participation: Admins occasionally drop credit rewards for community events, high-charting radio tracks, and active participation.

CREATOR PAYOUTS
If your tracks dominate the market and you accumulate a high volume of credits, you can request a Creator Payout. This converts your digital success back into real-world value. Payouts are subject to a minimum threshold and admin review.

VIP SUBSCRIPTION STATUS
For the heavy users who need maximum bandwidth. Upgrading your account to VIP status grants you advanced network privileges:

Priority Queue: Your tracks get priority rotation on the Hive Radio stream.

Market Advantage: Significantly reduced platform tax on all your market sales, letting you keep more of your earned credits.

Upload Discounts: Reduced credit costs for audio and visual uploads.

Verified Marker: An exclusive VIP badge displayed next to your handle on the grid and bulletin feed.
