Terminology

Belly, meal and diet are the protocol’s community-facing terms. The table explains what they mean in use:

Product Term	Meaning	What to Know When Using It
The Belly	Reward Reserve Treasury	Receives revenue and allocates it meal by meal. It is separate from staked principal and has a window outflow cap.
Meal	Reward Accounting Period	Advances are at least eight hours apart. A completed meal records shares; rewards still require settlement.
Diet	A Position’s Selected Reward Asset	Choose from the enabled menu. Changes preserve seniority, take effect next meal and leave past rewards claimable.
Seniority Ladder	A Time-Based Position Weight Multiplier	Rises from Notch 1 to Notch 22 after activation. It is an allocation weight, not a promised return.
Full Seniority	Reaching Notch 22	Further participation does not raise the multiplier. Rewards still depend on revenue and total eligible weight.
Forfeit	Surrendering the Currently Open Meal’s Share on Exit	Previously earned rewards remain recorded, and principal has no exit fee.
Belly Outflow Limit	Maximum Reward Release Within an Eight-Hour Window	Initially 16/168 of the opening WBNB balance, about 9.5238%. Claims of settled rewards do not use this allowance.
FEED	Public Protocol Maintenance	Attempts revenue conversion, due-meal advancement and an assigned batch. Only eligible successful conversions earn a Feeder reward.
