# 📅 5-Day Timeline Mechanism

Structured Workflow for Efficient Transactions

## **⏳ Key Stages Explained**

1. **Question Creation** (Day 0):
   * Asker selects recipient, sets amount ≥ 0.01 BNB
   * Funds held in escrow until answered/expired
2. **Answer Window** (Days 1-5):
   * Answerer receives notification and submits response
   * Priority questions appear at the top of answer queue
3. **Expiration Handling** (Day 6+):
   * 45% refund automatically issued to asker's wallet
   * Answerer retains ability to answer (no base reward but can earn viewing fees)
