Phase 1Application period 2023.12.6–2023.12.14 23:59 UTC
Competition epoch2023.12.15 00:00–2024.1.14 23:59 UTC
Reward settlement and issuanceBNB rewards will be distributed within 2 weeks of the epoch’s conclusion.

Phase 2 details will be announced on our official channels in the near future. 

Prize Allocation

The baseline TVL of each project participating in this program is calculated based on the daily average TVL on opBNB for the 7 consecutive days leading up to  the official announcement of the program.

Reward Pool Distribution Per Epoch:

The total prize pool for each epoch varies depending on the final amount of the total TVL increase during the epoch:

Total prize pool = $160K* (*where the total TVL increment reaches $16M per month).

The upper limit is $160K for the first epoch.

For example:

  • $160K worth of BNB will be awarded per month if TVL increases by $20M during the epoch
  • $160K worth of BNB will be awarded per month if TVL increases by $16M during the  epoch
  • $80K worth of BNB will be awarded per month if TVL increases by $8M during the epoch

At the end of each epoch, the distribution will be based on TVL increase rankings, with participants receiving a share proportional to their standing in the competition.

  • First prize= 60% of the total prize pool
  • Second prize = 30% of the total prize pool
  • Third prize = 10% of the total prize pool

For example: 

  • If total TVL increase reaches 16M, then total prize pool = $160K for that epoch:
    • 1st prize: receives $96,000
    • 2nd prize: receives $48,000
    • 3rd prize: receives $16,000
  • If total TVL increase is 8M, then total prize pool = $80K for that epoch:
    • 1st prize: receives $48,000
    •  2nd prize: receives $24,000
    •  3rd prize: receives $8,000

To calculate whether your project is eligible to receive rewards, use the formula:

Incremental TVL per project = the project’s average daily TVL for the last 7 consecutive days of that event epoch – baseline TVL
