Every incentive mechanism is automatically executed via Intelligent Contracts, minimizing manual intervention and boosting transparency. For example, in governance rewards, once a participant casts a vote on a proposal, the contract automatically distributes MAN tokens based on voting weight. If the participant is also the proposer, their reward adjusts dynamically based on the proposal’s approval rate—encouraging high-quality submissions.

#### Incentive Scheme

* **Governance Participation:** Periodic rewards for active voters and proposal authors
* **Content Creation:** Incentives for educational media, analytics, and community engagement
* **Development Contributions:** Grants for protocol improvements and feature implementations
* **Bug Bounties:** Rewards for security audits and vulnerability disclosures
