veToken and Reward Calculations
Learn more about how our veToken works and rewards calculated.
As the Governance token, veNUSA will represent your voting influence and reward portion. The amount of veNUSA you can own is influenced by the amount of NUSA locked and the duration of lock. veNUSA is uniquely made to decrease overtime towards the end of lock duration, hence, you will need to understand throughly on how veToken works.
veNUSA amount will gradually decrease as times
Let's take a look at Alex's experience:
Alex locked 4 NUSA for 4 years on Nusa Governance program.
According to the veNUSA formula, he will get 4 veNUSA.
1 years later, his veNUSA amount becomes 3 veNUSA. After 4 years has been passed, the veNUSA amount will become 0.
When his veNUSA turns 0, it will trigger unlock option where he could get back his locked NUSA back.
veNUSA amount represents the portion of reward received
1st Week example
Alex locked 4 NUSA for 4 years on Nusa Governance program. According to the veNUSA formula, he will get 4 veNUSA.
Sabrina locked 4 NUSA for 1 month on Nusa Governance program. According to the veNUSA formula, she will get 0.08 veNUSA.
Let's assumed that they are the only holder participating this week, which means that there are 4.08 veNUSA participating that week (Alex 4 + Sabrina 0.08).
In the first week, $2,500 reward is being distributed. Based on the veNUSA owned, Alex will have 98% (4/4.08) of shares and Sabrina will have 2% (0.08/4.08) shares.
On distribution day, Alex will get $2,449 and Sabrina $51.
| 1st Week | Alex | Sabrina |
|---|---|---|
NUSA locked | 4 NUSA | 4 NUSA |
Lock duration | 4 years | 1 month |
veNUSA owned | 4 veNUSA | 0.08 veNUSA |
Share portion | 98% | 2% |
Reward received | $2,449 | $51 |
2nd week example
On the second week, Clemira joined the Nusa governance program.
Clemira locked 10 NUSA for 1 month on Nusa Governance program. According to the veNUSA formula, she will get 0.21 veNUSA.
Alex and Sabrina is still participating in the program because they already locked their NUSA and still owns veNUSA.
But in the second week distribution, their veNUSA amount is already decreased. According to the formula, in the second week Alex will have 3.98 veNUSA and Sabrina 0.06 veNUSA (decreasing from 4 and 0.08 veNUSA compared to first week amount).
Based on that we can calculate that total circulating veNUSA is 4.25 (Alex 3.98 + Sabrina 0.06 + Clemira 0.21) veNUSA.
In the first week, $2.500 reward is being distributed. Based on the veNUSA owned, Alex will have 94% (3.98/4.25), Sabrina 1% (0.06/4.25), and Clemira will have 5% (0.21/4.25) share.
By the end of second week distribution, Alex will get $2,340, Sabrina $38 and Clemira $122.
| 2nd Week | Alex | Sabrina | Clemira |
|---|---|---|---|
Nusa locked | 4 NUSA | 4 NUSA | 10 NUSA |
Lock duration | 4 years ( Subtracts 1 week for remaining lock duration) | 1 month ( Subtracts 1 week for remaining lock duration) | 1 month |
veNUSA owned | 3.98 veNUSA | 0.06 veNUSA | 0.21 veNUSA |
Share portion | 94% | 1% | 5% |
Reward received | $2,350 | $25 | $125 |
Conlusion
Based on this examples we can conclude that:
The amount of veNUSA represent the portion of reward received
The amount of veNUSA is influenced by the amount of NUSA locked and lock duration
The amount of veNUSA decreses as times
With this mechanism, choose your strategy that suit best with your need with the resources and commitment you are willing to give. Don't forget to DYOR!
This simulations are simplified to make easier examples. Real case calculation will have slight differences such as:
Amount of reward each month will vary based on platform revenue generated
In this example, we simplified veNUSA decreasing number by day. In real case, veNUSA decreasing number is calculated every second.
