Whitelist Rewards (Activation Model)
Whitelist rewards are not additional supply. They are funded from existing allocations (typically Treasury / Runway or Leaderboard Rewards).
- 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:
2xor3x(pool-dependent)
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 seasonCRX_season= total CRX allocated for the seasonpoints_user= user points earned during the seasontotal_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-daycadence (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 over90 days. - Vesting start: the
90-dayvesting 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.
