Earning Tier-Based Rewards
1. How are my CRO rewards calculated?
The formula to derive the Daily Reward is:
Daily Reward = [Principal CRO Lockup Amount x (Tiered APR % ÷ 365)] + [Principal CRO Soft Lockup Amount x (Tiered APR % ÷ 365)]
Example:
You have a balance of 50,000 CRO
30,000 CRO is deposited into CRO Lockup for 180 days without any top-up
20,000 CRO is deposited into CRO Soft Lockup
The total Daily Reward would be 3.836 CRO, as calculated by:
Daily Reward = [30,000 x (4% ÷ 365)] + [20,000 x (1% ÷ 365)] = 3.28 + 0.54 = 3.82 CRO
Note: Tier-based rewards only account for tokens in CRO Lockup and CRO Soft Lockup. Assets within CRO Supercharger and Staked CRO are not considered for rewards.
2. When will I receive the daily lockup rewards?
You will receive rewards at 01:00 UTC daily.
3. Where can I see my earnings from CRO Rewards?
From the home page, go to Yield > CRO Rewards > Earnings History.
