Fees: where they apply and when they appear

All internal operations inside the Maclear bonus system — from bonus accrual to claiming and exchanging 8LNDS tokens — are free of charge for the user. A fee appears only at one point: when USDC is withdrawn to an external non-custodial wallet. The fee is not set by Maclear — it depends on network conditions and is paid by the user.

What is free and why

Every internal stage of the 8LNDS token bonus cycle is covered by the platform:

Operation

Fee

Bonus accrual

Free

Weekly Snapshot calculation

Free

Reward System processing

Free

Vesting — gradual token unlock

Free

Claim — moving tokens from Claimable to Available

Free

Swap & Withdraw — exchanging Available tokens for USDC

Free

Storing USDC in the platform wallet

Free

The user does not pay for any of these steps. The Reward System smart contract manages token distribution mechanics and vesting processes. Operational costs associated with maintaining the bonus system are covered by Maclear.

What is a blockchain fee and when does it appear

A blockchain fee — also called a gas fee — is a payment required by the network to process a transaction on the blockchain. It is not charged by Maclear and is not a platform fee. It exists because every operation on the Base network requires computational resources, and those resources are paid for by whoever initiates the transaction.

In the Maclear bonus system, a blockchain fee applies only when USDC is withdrawn from the platform wallet to an external non-custodial wallet on the Base network. At that point, the transaction leaves the platform and is processed directly on the blockchain. The fee depends on the current network load at the time of withdrawal and is paid by the user. No fee applies if USDC remains inside the platform wallet.

Is there a fee for Swap & Withdraw?

No. Swap & Withdraw is a platform operation — it exchanges Available 8LNDS tokens for USDC at the current market rate and credits the result to your platform wallet. This happens entirely within the Maclear system and is free of charge. A blockchain fee only appears at the subsequent step, if you choose to withdraw USDC to an external wallet.

Domande Tecniche Frequenti sul Token 8LNDS

Questa FAQ copre le domande tecniche più comuni sul token 8LNDS di Maclear: non può essere acquistato (solo guadagnato tramite il sistema di bonus), non è un prodotto di investimento e i token rimangono nel contratto intelligente del Sistema di Ricompensa fino a quando il Claim non li trasferisce nel wallet di custodia. Il token funziona su Base (ticker 8LNDS, fornitura di 100M), verificabile su BaseScan e CoinMarketCap.

Perché viene scelto USDC e come funzionano i prelievi

USDC è una stablecoin ancorata 1:1 al dollaro USA — Maclear la utilizza come valuta di liquidazione del bonus 8LNDS per un riferimento di valore stabile e conforme al MiCA. Scambia 8LNDS in USDC all'interno della piattaforma tramite Swap & Withdraw senza commissioni; i prelievi su un wallet esterno della rete Base comportano commissioni di rete e richiedono 2FA su nuovi indirizzi.

Custodial and non-custodial wallets: how they work in Maclear

Maclear's bonus system uses both wallet types. The custodial wallet is created automatically, managed by Maclear, has no seed phrase, and is fee-free for internal operations: claiming tokens, swapping for USDC, holding balances. A non-custodial wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet) is only relevant when withdrawing USDC to an external Base-network address — user-controlled keys, network fees apply.

How smart contracts and the Reward System work in the bonus system

The Maclear 8LNDS bonus system runs on a single smart contract — the Reward System on the Base blockchain. It manages every stage of the cycle automatically: recording amounts after the Snapshot, executing buyback → burn → mint, minting user bonuses under vesting, releasing 2.5% per week, and transferring tokens to the custodial wallet on Claim.
