# Sell Bananas

Users can sell their bananas anytime to receive BNB rewards. However, selling more than 30% of their apes' value in a single transaction triggers a penalty to maintain sustainability.

The penalty mechanism works as follows:

* If a user sells 30% or less, they receive the full value of their bananas.
* If a user sells more than 30%, the fee triples, reducing the final payout.
* Selling bananas also reduces the number of hired apes proportionally to the bananas sold.

This means that frequent selling will gradually lower the user’s total apes, reducing future banana production. This system encourages strategic selling and long-term growth, ensuring the farm remains stable over time.
