Understanding Laps in the UNIRA Protocol

### **The 14-Day Cycle:**

In the UNIRA DeFi protocol, a **Lap** signifies a 14-day period, occurring in a sequential order. Picture it like a recurring 2-week cycle that keeps rolling forward.

**Mapping Laps to Seasons:**

As Season 1 kicks off, its first 14 days fall within **Lap 1.** Subsequently, the next 14 days form **Lap 2,** and so forth. Each Lap is like a segment of time within the larger Season, helping us keep track of progress.

**Dynamic Events within Laps:**

Laps bring a flurry of exciting events within the UNIRA ecosystem. Some events are integral components of the protocol, while others are carefully timed to coincide with specific Lap intervals.

In a nutshell, Laps provide a structured rhythm to the UNIRA DeFi protocol, aligning with a 14-day cycle. These Laps serve as chapters that unfold within each Season, offering a framework for various events to enhance the ecosystem's vibrancy and engagement.
