4. Early Bird Program

Rewards: Up to 120% rewards boost.

Qualification: Contribute before the winning auction’s candle light-up.

Detailed Algorithm:

  1. Pioneer Stage (120% reward boost): from the start of the Crab crowdloan to the start of the ending period of the 1st slot.
  2. Regular Stage (100% reward):from the start of the 1st slot ending period to the winning auction’s candle light-up time. During this stage, contributors will receive a 100% of the reward.
  3. Final Stage (100% to 0 linear regression): from candle light-up time to the result-determine block within the winning auction. During this stage, rewards will reduce linearly to zero.

For example, if you participate in the crowdloan between “Crab Kusama Crowdloan Starts” — “The First Slot Ending Period Starts of Batch 5” and invest 1,000 KSM, the reward multiplier will be 120%. Assuming that Crab wins the slot auction with 50,000 KSM, you will obtain 1,000 KSM / 50,000 KSM * (200,000,000 CRAB and 8,000 CKTON) * 120% = 4,800,000 CRAB and 192 CKTON.

The above calculation is a rough estimation. The value will be precisely calculated according to the block height.

Highlights:

Early bird supporters can earn a bonus of up to 120% of the reward.

Contribution Strategy:

You can contribute as soon as the Crab crowdloan opens up. The earlier you participate, the higher the returns!

Tip: The rewards for the Referral Program and the Early Bird Program will start vesting linearly if Crab successfully wins the Kusama parachain slot.
