CRX Distribution & Leaderboard Rewards

This page is the canonical CRX distribution policy and must stay aligned with /docs/tokenomics.

Supply

Total supply: 1,000,000 CRX CRX is fixed supply. Leaderboard rewards are distributed from existing allocations, with no additional minting.

Each season allocation follows the same payout mechanics: 30% unlocks at claim and 70% vests linearly over 90 days from claim time, so the full season amount is not instantly liquid.

Season Timing

Season 1 schedule
  • Season 1 starts: 2026-02-12 00:00 UTC (00:00 UK/GMT, 01:00 Rome/CET)
  • Season 1 ends: 2026-03-12 00:00 UTC (00:00 UK/GMT, 01:00 Rome/CET)
  • Finalization target: 2026-03-14 00:00 UTC (00:00 UK/GMT, 01:00 Rome/CET)
  • Claim opens: 2026-03-14 00:00 UTC (00:00 UK/GMT, 01:00 Rome/CET) after finalization completes

Whitelist Rewards (Activation Model)

Important

Whitelist rewards are not additional supply. They are funded from existing allocations (typically Treasury / Runway or Leaderboard Rewards).

Budget cap
  • Whitelist budget cap: 1% of supply = 10,000 CRX

Per-wallet rewards

  • Base reward: 20-50 CRX for being whitelisted.
  • Activation bonus: 50-150 CRX only if, within X days, the wallet completes:
    • 1 swap (any size), and
    • either $50-$200 cumulative volume or a micro LP on CRX/ETH or CRX/USDM.

Payment schedule

  • 30% claimable immediately.
  • 70% streamed or vested over 30-60 days.

Points System

Base points

  • 1 USD traded = 1 point

Multipliers

  • Swap: 1x
  • Add liquidity: 2x or 3x (pool-dependent)
Boosted pools

Multipliers and boosts apply only on:

  • CRX/ETH
  • CRX/USDM

Rewards Distribution Formula

At the end of each season:

CRX_user = CRX_season * (points_user / total_points_season)

Where:

  • CRX_user = user rewards for the season
  • CRX_season = total CRX allocated for the season
  • points_user = user points earned during the season
  • total_points_season = total points earned by all participants during the season

Claim

Leaderboard season rewards follow this claim flow:

  • Season length: leaderboard seasons run on a 30-day cadence (Season 1 uses the fixed dates listed above).
  • Eligibility: rewards become claimable only after season finalization is complete.
  • Immediate unlock: 30% of the user reward unlocks at claim.
  • Vesting: the remaining 70% vests linearly over 90 days.
  • Vesting start: the 90-day vesting period starts when the user claims. Delaying claim delays vesting start.
  • Supply source: rewards are funded from existing CRX allocations; no additional CRX is minted.
