Reward Calculations
Base Formula
Your Rewards = (Your Liquidity / Total Liquidity) × Daily Rewards × Time
With Multipliers
Final Rewards = Base Rewards × Points Multiplier × Tier Multiplier
(Note: All multipliers are currently 1x)
Example Calculation
Investment: $10,000 in WHYPE/USDE
Pool TVL: $1,000,000
Your Share: 1%
Daily Rewards: 10,000 points
Base Earning: 100 points/day
With 1x multiplier: 100 points/day
With Diamond tier (1x): 100 points/day
Monthly total: 3,000 points
