Information regarding Moons

I've been a member of this subreddit for a while and I've seen several discussions involving the subreddit's own cryptocurrency, MOONS now when the fiat ratio seems to moon (badumtss). I understand that it's a form of community points given as rewards to users contributing valuable content and insights. However, I'm still a bit uncertain about a few aspects and I'm hoping to get a deeper understanding of how MOONS work.

How are MOONS distributed? Is it purely based on upvotes, or are there other factors that influence the number of MOONS a user can earn?

What is this ratio that I see comments and posts refering to?

I've read that MOONS can be used to purchase premium features on Reddit. Can MOONS also be withdrawn and used outside of Reddit?

Lastly, can you explain more about the mechanics of MOON farming? What are some effective strategies to earn more MOONS?

Please note that I'm not looking to exploit the system, but rather trying to better understand the mechanics behind it. I believe this will also be beneficial to other members of our community who are still unfamiliar with how MOONS work.

Thanks in advance for your responses. Let's continue to foster a community that's supportive, insightful, and rewards meaningful contributions.

To the moon!
