4️⃣ Configure the Vault's Assets

1. Choose Blockchain Network:
   • Select which blockchain network to host the competition. We recommend choosing Arbitrum for lower deployment fees.
2. Assets Token Address:
   • Add the token contract address on the selected blockchain.
   • If using a stablecoin for the competition, confirm with the Hats growth team that there is enough liquidity and swap options for the token before proceeding.

5️⃣ Define Rewards

1. Intended Competition Rewards Amount:
   • Input the reward amount that has been confirmed with the Growth team or the Hats system.
   • Deduct 20% of the total reward for transparency, as this will be the maximum reward allocated for successful reports (SR). The remaining amount will be allocated to the pool for pay-for-results only competition.
2. Note: Hats' fees are 20% out of rewards only, and any unused funds can be reclaimed after payouts.
