BANZ rewards
Off-chain credits, pending versus available, and the redemption switch.
What BANZ are
BANZ are community reward credits on an off-chain ledger. They are not a Solana token, not a wallet balance of a coin, and not cash. There is no published BANZ-to-USD rate.
How credits are written
Seeded BANZ amounts are 0 for profile, wallet, and publish_call. verified_success is 5, verified_risk is 8, wallet_discovery is 10, approved_research is 2, and consistency is 15. A verified APE or NOT result is credited only after two prices exist and the path did not collapse 50% or more. Publish a call does not pay BANZ.
The BANZ wallet
My Profile shows available, pending, locked, redeemed, and earned totals from the ledger, plus recent grants and their status. Pending is not spendable. A rejected or reversed grant is not available. Open My Profile while signed in to see your own rows.
Cash redemption
BANZ cash redemption is not currently available. The redemption route returns that message unless BANZ_REDEMPTION_ENABLED is true, and even then it refuses because no payout provider is connected. This page does not promise a withdrawal, a minimum, or a conversion rate.
