# Pre-TGE Subnet Points FAQ

## What do I earn as a subnet owner?

You earn points from three sources:

1. 10,000 points per day (baseline)
2. Size rewards (X pool) — 160,000 points every 10 days
3. Usage rewards (Y pool) — 240,000 points every 10 days

***

## How do I get daily rewards?

Just stay active.

Every active subnet automatically earns:

10,000 points per day = 100,000 every 10 days

***

## What are X and Y?

#### X = Size-based Rewards

Based on the NEW size/stake/capacity of your subnet.

Bigger or more committed subnets rank higher.

#### Y = Usage-based Rewards

Based on the amount of traffic your subnet processes in that period.

More usage → higher rank → more points.

***

## How are X and Y rewards distributed?

Every 10 days:

1. Subnets are ranked from best to lowest in:
2. size (for X)
3. usage (for Y)
4. Higher ranks get more points.
5. Lower ranks still get something — no one gets zero.

Example:

* Rank 1 gets the biggest share
* Rank K gets the smallest share
* All 160k (X) and all 240k (Y) points are fully distributed

***

## What does ranking look like?

The system works like Formula 1:

* Rank 1 gets the most points
* Rank 2 gets slightly fewer
* Rank 3 gets slightly fewer…
* Rank K gets the smallest share

This ensures:

* Performance is rewarded
* But no subnet can take everything

***

## How do I improve my X rewards?

Increase your subnet size, for example:

* Stake more
* Increase subnet depth/capacity
* Expand your subnet’s data footprint

***

## How do I improve my Y rewards?

Increase your usage, for example:

* Process more queries
* More people query your subnet either directly on indirectly

***

## Does the top subnet take the majority of points?

No.

The system is explicitly designed to avoid “winner takes all.”

As more subnets join:

* The percentage share for the top subnet automatically shrinks
* All subnets always get a share of the bonus pools
* Everyone receives the 10k daily baseline
* Rewards reset every  10 days for that epoch

***

## What happens if my subnet goes offline?

If you fail the uptime/activity threshold:

* You miss that day’s 10k
* You are excluded from X and Y
* Active subnets receive your share instead

***

## How often do I get paid?

* Daily: 10,000 points
* Every 10 days: X + Y bonus rewards based on rank

***

## Is this permanent?

This is the pre-TGE system.

Later phases will introduce:

* staking tiers
* slashing
* burn mechanics
* token rewards
* Increased points pools
