Principles & Limits

Principle	Mechanism	Boundary
Allocate from received revenue	The Belly retains received funds; new meal budgets exclude existing reservations.	No fixed APY, APR or minimum reward. A reserve cannot replace missing revenue.
Separate principal from reward procurement	Principal remains in the staking vault; ordinary redemption does not check the pause flag.	Chain availability, transaction execution and token behavior still matter.
Allow asset selection	Positions choose enabled menu assets independently.	Listing is not a guarantee of token value, issuer performance or successful swaps.
Include duration in weight	Principal scales linearly; ordinary seniority rises from 1× to 22×.	Reward shares change as positions enter, exit or change diets.
Bound allocation and spending	Meal allocation and Belly outflow have separate limits.	Pauses, pending meals and market conditions can delay settlement.

The certificate concept will turn time-based seniority into an ERC-721 NFT.
