Rewards, Allocation & Claim
Understand pools, formulas, caps, snapshot timing, and how claiming works.
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.
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).
