The interest distribution before the ending will not be affected. --- ## Launchpool Rules Update 1. Gate has updated the participation rules and staking caps. For some projects, the staking caps will now be determined based on the user’s total trading volume over the past 60 days at the time of staking. 60-Day Total Trading Volume = 60-Day Spot Trading Volume + (60-Day Futures Trading Volume × 40%) 2. By achieving a higher trading volume, users can unlock a higher staking cap. 3. To be eligible for the hourly airdrop rewards, the user's 60-day total trading volume must meet the minimum requirement at the time of airdrop distribution. 4. If the trading volume requirement is not met, users can still redeem staked assets at any time. Any assets not manually redeemed will be automatically returned to the Spot or Unified Account after the event. 5. Please refer to each Launchpool project announcement for specific staking caps and minimum trading volume requirements. --- ## About Annual Percentage Rate(APR) **1. When the reward coin is the staked coin:** APR = (total rewards released in the last hour / last hour’s total staked) x 365 x 24 x 100%. **2. When the reward coin is NOT the staked coin:** APR = (Total rewards released in the last hour x closing price of the reward coin of the last hour) / (Last hour’s total staked x closing price of the staked coin of the last hour) x 365 x 24 x 100%. **Note:** The APR is an estimate and for reference only. The actual annualized return you finally receive shall prevail. APR data is updated hourly. --- ## About transferring the redeemed assets to Simple Earn Fixed Term **1. How to get airdrop bonuses?** When you stake BTC, GT, ETH, and USDT in Launchpool, you'll get a bonus, which is still subject to the individual reward cap per hour, by choosing to transfer the redeemed assets to Simple Earn Fixed Term. Please note that subscriptions to Simple Earn flexible-term or fixed-term ones outside Launchpool will not qualify for bonuses. **2. Why didn't I receive a bonus after subscribing to Simple Earn Fixed Term when staking?** If you've reached the reward cap per hour, no more bonuses will be distributed. **3. Can I redeem early after transferring to Simple Earn 7-Day Fixed Term? ** If you transfer your redeemed staked assets to Simple Earn 7-Day Fixed Term, they will be locked for 7 days and cannot be redeemed early. Please plan your assets accordingly. --- ## About Total Staked The Total Staked refers to the cumulative amount staked in the pool. This metric is a cumulative total that includes the staked assets users have redeemed. Example: If a user stakes 100,000 USDT and redeems 20,000 USDT, the total staked in the pool remains 100,000 USDT. This calculation method is consistent with industry standards.
