Pre-TGE Subnet Slot Points

Earn points for running an active subnet. Every active subnet earns daily baseline points, plus extra bonus points every 10 days based on size and usage.

This system is fair, transparent, and non–winner-takes-all: top-performing subnets earn more, but every active subnet receives rewards.


How You Earn Points

Each active subnet earns points from two sources:

1. Daily Baseline Rewards

Every activated and healthy subnet earns:

  • 10,000 points per day

  • 100,000 points over each 10-day cycle

This is guaranteed for all active subnets, no matter their size or usage.


2. 10-Day Bonus Rewards

Every 10 days, two global bonus pools are distributed across all active subnets:

Pool

What It Measures

Total Points (Every 10 Days)

X Pool

Size / stake (how big your dataset is)

160,000 points

Y Pool

Usage (queries, traffic, activity)

240,000 points

The pools reset every cycle and are distributed based on ranking, not absolute numbers.


Who Is Eligible?

A subnet must:

  • Have an active slot + be correctly configured

  • Meet minimum uptime requirements during the cycle

Only active subnets receive:

  • Daily baseline

  • X-pool bonuses

  • Y-pool bonuses

Let K = total active subnets in the current 10-day cycle.


How the Bonus Pools Are Distributed

We use a simple linear ranking system (F1-style) for both X and Y pools:

  • Rank 1 = highest performer

  • Rank K = lowest performer

  • Higher rank = higher share

  • Every active subnet receives something

How weights work (simple version):

If there are K subnets, weights go like this:

Rank 1 → weight K

Rank 2 → weight K-1

Rank K → weight 1

Example with 5 subnets:

Rank

Weight

1

5

2

4

3

3

4

2

5

1

The weights add up to:

W = K × (K + 1) / 2

Your share of each pool is simply:

  • X Pool: YourWeight / TotalWeight × 160,000

  • Y Pool: YourWeight / TotalWeight × 240,000

No points are left over—100% of both pools are always paid out.


Total Points You Earn in Each 10-Day Cycle

Each active subnet earns:

100,000 points

(from the daily baseline)

Plus:

Your share of the X pool

(based on dataset size / stake rank)

Your share of the Y pool

(based on usage rank)

Formula (simple version):

Total Points = 100,000

+ (your X pool share)

+ (your Y pool share)

The higher you rank, the higher your bonuses—but every active subnet earns guaranteed baseline points.


Why This System Matters

  • Predictable baseline earnings for everyone

  • Performance-based upside for subnets that grow or serve more traffic

  • Fair and transparent—no winner-takes-all

  • Designed for early builders ahead of the TGE
