# Primary Vault

The **Vault** is the beating heart of Based Monsta’s ecosystem, delivering rewards to the loyal Monstas while serving as an anchor of stability and a beacon of hope. It’s simple, powerful, and designed to keep the gains flowing.

## How It Works

1. **Taxes Build the Vault**: Every buy and sell feeds the Vault, stacking juicy secondary assets like $CAKE over the 12-month cycle.
2. **Burn-to-Claim**: At the end of the cycle, you can burn your $MONSTA tokens to claim your share of the vault’s contents. The more $MONSTA you hold, the bigger your slice of the rewards!
3. **Rollovers for Sustainability**: A portion of the vault rolls over to the next cycle allowing for a strong foundation to thrive and grow.&#x20;

## Reward Breakdown

When the 12-month cycle ends, here’s how the vault assets get split:

* **60%**: Claimable by $MONSTA token holders that participate in the Burn-to-Claim event
* **25%**: Rolled over to the next cycle
* **15%**: Sent to the [Bonus Vault](bonus-vault), claimable by [Keys to the Vault](../keys-to-the-vault) NFT holders.

## Why It’s Built Different

The Vault is a rewards machine designed to:

* **Reward Loyalty**: Watch your vault share increase the longer you hodl!
* **Celebrate Volume**: All trades feed the vault and all volume whether buys or sells are designed to benefit the $MONSTA token holders claiming the vault at cycle end.
* **Level up your experience:** There's strength in numbers and Based Monsta is designed to leverage its combined vault assets to provide an elevated yield farming experience.

The Vault is your ticket to long-term gains and a front-row seat to the Based Monsta ecosystem.
