# Digit (Reliquary)

The Byte Masons created Reliquary as a DeFi-native solution to the problems introduced by current incentive systems. Reliquary seeks to find a middle-ground between bonding and liquidity mining, with the protocol-level benefits of the former and elasticity of the latter. The result resembles a liquid floating-rate bond that increases in convexity over time, aligning the protocol with its liquidity providers better than ever before. It is an open-ended, audited platform with a plugin system and suite of tools that will supercharge any incentive program.

In Reliquary, rewards are distributed across Maturity Tranches, which represent a length of time for which liquidity must be provided. This is done in a non-dilutive fashion, with the same amount of rewards always being emitted to the pool no matter how many users are in any tranche. That way, the longer you remain in a Relic, the more incentives you will receive.

This maturity system allows developers to program desired holding patterns into each pool, giving them unparalleled control over their incentive structures. Users are issued a custom NFT for use in external protocols: they can lock it, lend it, or sell it on their favorite marketplace to earn a premium on their time spent in the pool. However, locking is not required. Users can withdraw at any time. Though with built in airdrop mechanics, multi-asset rewards, and maturity bonuses, why would they ever want to?

Digit is the protocol-level implementation of Reliquary, that will showcase Reliquary technology while housing Reaper vaults in underlying strategies.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.reaper.farm/business-integration/digit-reliquary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
