Reward Distribution
How GOCHI distributes SOL rewards to players
Unlike many projects that distribute rewards daily or weekly, GOCHI operates on an hourly distribution cycle to maximize engagement and provide immediate feedback on care quality.
Hourly Distribution Cycle
1
Reward Pool Calculation
At the beginning of each hour, the system calculates the hourly reward pool:For example, with 5,000,000 × 0.05 ÷ 24 = $10,416 per hour
2
Individual Share Calculation
Each player’s share is determined by their Care Quality Score and Holding Multiplier:Where:
- UserWeightedPoints = UserCareQualityScore × UserHoldingMultiplier
- TotalWeightedPoints = Sum of all active users’ weighted points
3
Notification
When rewards are available, you receive an in-app notification
4
Claiming Process
Claim your rewards with a single tap
Rewards are sent directly to your connected wallet
Unclaimed rewards accumulate until collected
Dynamic Adjustment System
GOCHI’s reward system includes dynamic adjustments to ensure sustainability across different market conditions:Volume-Based Scaling
As trading volume increases, the reward pool grows proportionally, ensuring larger rewards during high activity periods.During low volume periods, rewards decrease but maintain reasonable minimum levels.
Player Participation Adjustment
The system adjusts to player counts, ensuring fair distribution whether there are 1,000 or 100,000 active players.This prevents dilution of rewards as the player base grows.
Reward Claiming Best Practices
Optimal Claiming Frequency
Optimal Claiming Frequency
While rewards are distributed hourly, you don’t need to claim every hour. Consider these approaches:
- Power Users: Claim 2-3 times daily during active periods
- Daily Players: Claim once daily to minimize transaction friction
- Casual Players: Claim weekly to accumulate meaningful amounts
Gas Optimization
Gas Optimization
Each claim transaction requires a small amount of SOL for gas fees. To optimize:
- Consider claiming during periods of lower network congestion
- Batch your claims rather than claiming very small amounts frequently
- The system is designed to ensure claim fees never exceed the reward value
The hourly reward cycle creates a powerful “dopamine loop” that encourages frequent engagement. Each time you care for your pet, you not only improve its wellbeing but also see the direct impact on your earnings in near real-time.
