# Rewards, Allocation & Claim

{% hint style="success" %}

## **TL;DR**

Buzz Points are not tokens. They’re the score used to calculate allocations at snapshot time. Allocation is proportional to impact, with fairness caps and integrity checks.
{% endhint %}

### Buzz Points vs tokens

**Buzz Points (BP)** are an internal scoring unit used for ranking and allocation within a campaign. They are not transferable and do not represent a guaranteed payout.

Tokens (or allocations) are distributed based on the campaign rules after snapshot and become claimable after TGE according to vesting.

### Reward pools (50/50 split)

Most campaigns split rewards **50% to stakers** and **50% to buzzers**:

* **Staker Pool:** distributed by **Staking Points (SP)**
* **Buzzer Pool:** distributed by **Buzz Points (BP)**

You can participate in both pools by staking and buzzing in the same campaign.

### Allocation formulas

* **Staker allocation:** (Your SP ÷ Total SP) × Staker Pool
* **Buzzer allocation:** (Your BP ÷ Total BP) × Buzzer Pool

### Fairness cap (important)

No single buzzer can earn more than **5% of the buzzer pool**.

### Snapshot timing (how winners are determined)

After the Buzz period ends, the campaign enters **Snapshot & Allocation**. During this time:

* The leaderboard **freezes**
* Only **REGISTERED** users count
* Integrity checks may remove suspicious or invalid activity
* Allocations are calculated based on final BP and SP totals

### Claim timing

Claims open after TGE and follow the campaign’s vesting schedule. Exact dates and vesting terms are defined on the campaign page.

### Do I need to KYC?

* **Buzzdrops:** typically **no KYC** required
* **Public Sales / fundraising campaigns:** typically **KYC is required**

Always check campaign requirements.

### What happens if I didn’t register?

If you posted but didn’t register, you may show as **INVITE** on the leaderboard but you are not eligible at snapshot time unless you register before the registration window ends.

### What happens to allocation for INVITE / unregistered users?

Unregistered users do not receive allocation. Unclaimed/unused allocation is handled according to campaign terms (for example: redistributed, returned to the pool, or managed as stated in the campaign rules).
