Project Purpose & Vision

Marina Protocol aims to redefine digital reward campaigns. Users engage through daily tasks and quizzes, earning on-chain token rewards. Key goals:

How It Works

1. Mobile Daily Reward Hub

   • Daily quizzes and missions earn SURF points

   • Social tasks: Invite friends, share content

   • Convert SURF points into in-app benefits and BAY tokens

   • Gamified progression ensures long-term engagement

2. Web: On-Chain Portal (Coming Soon)

   • Fully on-chain campaign creation and management

   • Automated reward distribution via smart contracts

   • BAY token staking, participation, and exclusive events

Governance

Currently, Marina Protocol is not fully decentralized (DAO), but the BAY token manages user and marketer interactions within the ecosystem. Future plans include decentralized campaign and reward management.
