Vault State

Vault State reflects the operational status of a vault within the platform, indicating whether it is locked or unlocked. This status determines a vault's ability to participate in the platform's economic activities and generate rewards.

• Initial Locked State: Every vault starts its journey in a locked state. In this initial phase, the vault is dormant, unable to accumulate gems or generate any economic rewards. This locked state awaits the pivotal action that will activate the vault's potential.

• Unlocking with Key Helpers: The transformation from a locked to an unlocked state is achieved with the help of Key Helpers. These are the first two users who gift gems directly to a new vault, playing a crucial role in activating the vault. Their direct contributions kickstart the vault's ability to engage in the cycle of generosity.

• Permanence of Unlocked State: Once a vault is unlocked, it remains in this state indefinitely. An unlocked vault signifies a permanent shift in its potential – it can now continuously accumulate gems, complete cycles, and generate Gencoin. This permanence underscores the importance of the unlocking process, as it marks a vault's readiness to fully participate in and contribute to the platform's economy.

• Strategic Engagement and Community Support: The transition from locked to unlocked vaults highlights the value of strategic engagement within the platform. By fostering connections to secure Key Helpers and unlock vaults, users catalyze a collaborative and supportive environment. This not only activates individual vaults but also strengthens the platform's overarching community of generosity.

The concept of Vault State is integral to understanding the dynamics of participation and reward within the platform. It emphasizes the collective journey from a state of potential to active economic contribution, facilitated by the community-driven unlocking process. Once unlocked, a vault's capacity to contribute to and benefit from the platform's economy of generosity is permanently enabled, reinforcing the ethos of mutual support and shared prosperity.
