How are POLIS locking rewards calculated?

Locking POLIS earns you daily rewards based on your POLIS Voting Power (PVP) and the global emissions schedule. Here's how it works:

Emission Schedule

A total of 127,800,000 POLIS has been allocated for rewards. These are distributed daily over 8 years.

• Start: August 1, 2022

• End: August 1, 2030

• First Daily Emission: 51,121 POLIS

• Final Daily Emission: 31,006 POLIS

The amount of POLIS distributed each day decreases gradually over time.

How Your Rewards Are Calculated

Your daily reward depends on how much PVP you have compared to everyone else.

Formula:

Example:

• Total PVP in the DAO = 1,000,000

• Daily emission = 50,000 POLIS

• You have 2,000 PVP

You earn: (2,000 / 1,000,000) × 50,000 = 100 POLIS

Your PVP is based on how much POLIS you lock and for how long:

• The longer you lock, the higher your PVP multiplier.

Where to See Your Estimated Rewards

In the POLIS Locker dashboard, you’ll see an "Estimated Next Reward" on the Rewards Over Time chart.

⚠️ Note: This is a real-time estimate and may change if:

• Other users lock more POLIS

• You or others refresh their locks before the next reward drop

How It’s Tracked On-Chain

All PVP values and rewards are stored and calculated on-chain through two snapshot accounts:

1. Escrow History

   • Tracks your wallet’s individual locking data and PVP

2. Locker History

   • Tracks the global PVP across all users

When you lock or refresh your POLIS, the system updates your snapshots—these only affect future reward periods.

🕛 Each reward period starts at midnight GMT
