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:
HourlyRewardPool = DailyVolume × 0.05 ÷ 24
For example, with 5Mdailyvolume:5M daily volume: 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:
UserShare = (UserWeightedPoints ÷ TotalWeightedPoints) × HourlyRewardPool
Where:
  • UserWeightedPoints = UserCareQualityScore × UserHoldingMultiplier
  • TotalWeightedPoints = Sum of all active users’ weighted points

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

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
There is no expiration on unclaimed rewards, so you can develop a claiming schedule that works for you.
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.
