# Seasons Concept Overview

VPND Liquid Mining is a recurring event. A new season starts at the beginning of every month, and it ends on the last day of the calendar month. Rewards are automatically deposited into the mining user's wallet at the end of each season and cannot be claimed before the end of the season. The start and stop of the season will be manually adjusted and monitored during the initial seasons. VaporFi wants to ensure the initial season go smoothly. The only way to do that is through manual intervention.

 

The seasons concept is in place to ensure that participants have new and interesting ways to participate in earning Vape and using VaporDex.

 

There will be a minimum of 150 liquid mining seasons. VAPE will not be minted until the very end of the season, based on the amount of VAPE allocated for the season. 15,000 VAPE will be emitted at the end of the first season and emissions will decrease by .41217% each season thereafter.

## 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.vapordex.io/vapordex/liquid-mining/vpnd-liquid-mining/seasons-concept-overview.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.
