Other Important Notices:

  • Participation is limited to one time per wallet.
  • Sharing rewards are limited to 2 layers of referrals. Referrals for level three and beyond will not accrue rewards.

  • Participation criteria (below) must be fulfilled for eligibility to this event. If the prerequisites are not met, participation will not be possible.

Participation & Sharing/Referral Criteria

Please ensure you meet all event criteria, as rewards will not be distributed to non-eligible wallets.

$VKR Deposit

To successfully participate in this “Share to Earn” event, users will need to deposit $VKR (the exact amount will be announced at launch). The initial $VKR deposit will be returned to the user after 14 days.

  • All $VKR deposits used for the event will be returned in full after 14 days
  • $VKR deposits are a measure taken to discourage users from manipulating wallets and prevent other forms of wallet abuse

Further Participation Details

All wallets must meet the campaign criteria to become eligible for participation. The participation criteria will be disclosed prior to the opening of the event.

  • The delayed disclosure of participation requirements is to minimize bad behavior and wallet abuse.
  • Valkyrie Protocol has been developed with the supporting community in mind. We are working hard to ensure that wallet abuse behavior is minimized and participation is fair for all participants

Referral/Sharing Reward Cap

Please be advised that there are referral/sharing reward caps in the “Share to Earn” event. The referral/sharing reward cap is set to 80 $VKR. As a default, maximum rewards calculated as [x+y] x 2. This is a soft limit and can be increased.

To increase referral reward caps, a user can stake $VKR onto governance. The increase in limit is directly proportional to the amount of $VKR staked. In this campaign, there will be a 30% increase of total $VKR staked in governance.

  • Referral reward caps are intentionally set to minimize wallet abuse behavior and protect the interest of the supporting community
  • Rewards accrued beyond the referral reward cap will not be distributed, so please ensure you have sufficient capacity on maximum token allowance.
