The Communis Guide

The loyalty program written into an immutable contract — fully explained, with worked examples

Mechanics verified against communis.app and the verified contract; audit listed at CertiK Skynet (Jan 2023).  Example numbers are illustrative round figures for teaching, not quotes.  Educational, not financial advice.

What it actually is

Communis (COM) is a bolt-on loyalty contract for HEX staking, deployed in January 2023 by a developer known only as Codeak — a fictional name for an unknown developer.  It never wraps, holds, or touches a stake: the contract simply reads the HEX ledger and lets the stake's owner mint COM for the behaviors HEX's own design rewards — staking long and serving the commitment to term.  There are no admin keys, no pause switch, and no Origin Address; it lives identically on Ethereum and PulseChain as a dual-chain token.

The one formula everything hangs on

Every stake has a maximum COM payout: maxPayout = recalculated shares × staked days ÷ 5,555.  "Recalculated" is the interesting word: Communis re-derives the stake's shares without HEX's 3,640-day cap on the Longer-Pays-Better bonus — so stakes longer than about ten years earn more shares in COM-math than HEX itself granted them.  Two eligibility floors: the stake must be active, and must carry at least 10,000 shares.  Everything below — every bonus — is just a different way of claiming slices of this one number.

A stake's full lifecycle (worked example)

The debt system — a gate, not a bill

End Bonus Debt confiscates nothing, liquidates nothing, and never comes due.  It is purely a gate on two privileges.  First: minting any future End Bonus (on another stake) requires holding staked COM ≥ your accumulated debt at that moment — and the mint transaction itself can stake part of what it mints to clear the bar in one step.  Second: the 5%-per-year staking yield (paid 1.25% every 91 days) only accrues while your staked COM covers your debt — and, a genuine quirk, only while your debt is greater than zero: the yield is a loyalty stream for people who have minted End Bonuses and kept the matching COM staked.

The 37-day window — the one deadline that bites

The End Bonus is claimable from the stake's due day through 37 days after it, and always before ending the stake.  Miss the window and that stake's End Bonus is gone forever — and from day 38 anyone may claim a Good Accounting Bonus of 1% of your maxPayout on your overdue stake (Communis calls HEX's own Good Accounting for you).  Note there are two separate lateness clocks: HEX's own late penalty starts eating the HEX payout after its 14-day grace period, entirely independent of the COM window.  A calendar reminder at the due day handles both.

Claiming the Start Bonus late — what it really costs

Wait to mint the Start Bonus and it shrinks by the ratio of your stake's original share rate to the current global share rate (which only rises) — wait long enough at, say, a doubled share rate and only half the Start Bonus remains.  The nuance: since the End Bonus tops you up to exactly 100% of maxPayout, a shrunken Start Bonus on a 365+-day stake served to term merely shifts value to the end — but on a 180–364-day stake, which has no End Bonus, the shrinkage is a permanent loss.

The Restake Bonus — doubling the next Start

Prove you are a repeat long-term staker and your next Start Bonus doubles (up to 50% of maxPayout).  The conditions are strict and all enforced by code: you must have minted at least one End Bonus; the new stake must run 365+ days, start after your last end-bonus day, be strictly longer than the longest stake you have end-bonused (exactly-5,555-day stakes are exempt from "strictly longer" — there is nothing longer), and carry shares between 1× and 2× your cumulative end-bonused shares.  Minting it resets the ledger for the next round.

Non-claimers, the referral line, and where the supply comes from

Nothing lands automatically: a staker who never claims simply never mints, and their COM never exists — rarity accrues to those who show up.  One honest footnote to the fair-distribution story: every Start and End mint adds +1% for a referrer — paid to whoever referred you, to you if you self-refer, and to the creator's hardcoded address if nobody does.  Self-referring is trivially easy and the app supports it; leaving the field empty is the only way the developer earns from your mint.

The dilution math, plainly.  Supply is unbounded by design: every active HEX stake on either chain is latent COM, forever.  The 5% staking yield is pure emission — paid in more COM, not from revenue.  Concentration is real (an audit-time snapshot put roughly 30% with the top ten holders) and trading volume is thin on both chains, so the mechanics guarantee the minting, never the price.  That distinction is the whole investment story in one sentence.
