The Noah ecosystem is intended to use modular smart contracts rather than placing all functionality inside one contract.

A potential architecture includes:

#### NOAH Token Contract

Responsible for:

* Token balances
* Transfers
* Supply rules
* Approved ecosystem integrations

#### Staking Contract

Responsible for:

* Deposits
* Lock periods
* Reward calculations
* Withdrawals

#### Farming Contracts

Responsible for:

* Liquidity incentives
* Farm emissions
* Reward accounting

#### Gaming Contracts

Responsible for:

* Game participation
* Tournament mechanics
* Prize distribution
* On-chain game state where appropriate

#### Treasury

Responsible for:

* Ecosystem funding
* Development
* Partnerships
* Liquidity support
* Community initiatives

Final contracts and addresses will be published before the corresponding features become operational.
