Unclaimed Rewards

Claimable rewards accumulated by network participants in non-custodial wallets are not held indefinitely. Any rewards that remain unclaimed for 60 months from the date of issuance are permanently burned. They are neither redistributed to other participants, returned to the reward pool, nor carried forward. Once the 60-month period has elapsed, the unclaimed balance is removed from the total supply entirely.

This policy applies to the 15% user allocation, covering both caller and receiver rewards generated each epoch. Rewards begin accumulating from the moment a call is completed over the network and a phone number is assigned its non-custodial wallet. The 60-month clock runs from the point of issuance, not from the point at which a participant becomes aware of or registers to claim their rewards.

For network users, the practical implication is straightforward. Rewards are real and accessible through the MNTx Portal, but they require active claiming within the 60-month window. The portal provides the tools to check accumulated balances and initiate claims. Details on how to access and claim rewards are covered in the MNTx Portal section.

From a supply perspective, the unclaimed rewards burn contributes to the deflationary mechanics of MNTx alongside the staker pool burn and the delegated staking burn. Any portion of the user allocation that goes unclaimed over a 60-month period is permanently removed from the total supply rather than re-entering circulation.
