How to Earn BAIT
You can earn BAIT (rather than only buying it) through in-app earning loops, so verification is never strictly pay-to-play.
Earning BAIT matters because it keeps proof accessible. Kala's model is free-to-log, pay-to-prove — but 'pay' shouldn't mean 'cash only.' BAIT can be earned inside the product so anyone willing to put in effort can verify their catches.
Earning loops are designed to be fair and not exploitative — effort in, currency out, with the cost of verification staying meaningful. The specific mechanics live in the DerbyFish app and evolve over time.
We deliberately don't enumerate exact earn rates here, because those are product settings that aren't pinned down — and inventing them would break the honesty rule Kala holds itself to.
Common questions
Is verification pay-to-win?
No. Earning loops exist precisely so effort, not just spending, can unlock proof.
How much can I earn?
That's an in-app, evolving setting. The fixed principle is that earning BAIT is a real path, not a token gesture.
Where do I do this?
Inside the DerbyFish app, which is where verification and BAIT live; Kala is the trust layer and definition home.
