Core Mechanism

Money Ark is a classic Mutual-Aid model with Dividend characteristics, with five main rules:

Rule	Description
Locked Principal	Deposit in USDC, amount becomes global debt, principal locked, 0.5% daily compound interest
Forced Reinvestment	Must reinvest at least $200 every 7 days to continue compounding
Buyback Mechanism	10% of deposit as reserve for withdrawals, 85% for “auto-buyback” of $MARK
Transaction Tax	10% tax on $MARK trades, 5% to holders, 5% to liquidity pool
Black Hole Contract	49% of tokens held by black hole, auto-sells when exceeding 51%

Yield Source Analysis

Where does the yield come from? Where does the money for full redemption come from?

Extreme Scenario Simulation

Assumptions:
├── Initial LP: 1.2M USDC + 6M TVL
├── Deposits: 1x 10000U + 10x 50000U
├── Reinvestment: 50000U reinvests for 52 weeks, 10000U doesn't
└── No other deposits during this period

After 52 weeks:
├── 50000U debt → 316336.5U each
├── 10 deposits total debt → 3.16M
├── Total deposits → 714000U
├── 10% reserve → 71400U
├── 85% buyback funds → 606900U
├── Plus initial LP → 1.87M
└── Redemption rate → Only 50%

Conclusion: Full redemption is only theoretical

How the Project Team Profits

MoneyArk has no explicit team share. So how do they make money?

Hidden Arbitrage Space

85% of deposits "auto-buyback" $MARK
        ↓
But is buyback manual or automatic?
        ↓
If manual = 85% goes to project team's pocket
        ↓
Effectively a P2P centralized fund pool

Market Making Strategy

If I were the project team:

1. Keep MARK moving in ranges
        ↓
2. Buy MARK at relative lows
        ↓
3. Use "85% pump funds" to pump at highs
        ↓
4. Sell MARK for arbitrage
        ↓
5. Repeat as long as scheme doesn't collapse

Essentially an invisible extraction mechanism in the mutual-aid scheme, with timing and size at team’s discretion

Collapse Model

Collapse triggers:
├── New deposits slow down
├── TVL and LP size imbalanced
├── Reinvestment and LP growth both declining
└── 85% reserve pool drained one-sided

Result:
└── Can't even redeem 50%

Optimal Strategy

Since it has mining machine characteristics:

Phase	Strategy
Entry	After IDO selling pressure clears, buy the mining token
Holding	Wait for pump to induce deposits
Exit Signal	TVL/LP imbalance + slowing deposits + declining reinvestment
Action	Exit decisively

---

Core Formulas

Yield source = 100% from later USDC deposits

Project team arbitrage = Control 85% fund's pump timing

Collapse conditions:
├── Global debt > MARK LP pool
├── Majority of large funds minimum reinvest
└── No external input

Strategy priority:
├── Best: Secondary market arbitrage
├── Second: Quickly copy and launch clone
└── Worst: Large funds entering Ponzi
