# kaal:claim:3125822-005

**Claim.** When a fee bearing evidence of work post enters the platform, half the newly minted sem tokens are staked in the poster's name as an upvote bet and the other half are staked against the post and left unassigned, so the poster's only direct reward for off-platform work is a contested stake.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** asserted

**Holds when.**

- post must be linked to a previous post in the forum
- minting is proportional to the fee at a preset conversion ratio

**Source quote.**

> Half the new sem tokens are staked in the poster's name as a bet that the work done is accurate and improves the expertise (this stake is their only direct reward for the off-platform work). The other half of the newly minted sem tokens are staked against the post, and left unassigned.
