How Rewards Are Calculated

  • Proportional distribution - Rewards are allocated based on how much psXDC you hold (or have staked inside an NFT) relative to the total supply.

  • On-chain and transparent - Every reward event is logged on the blockchain.

  • Claim anytime - Rewards accrue continuously. Go to the Rewards tab in the app and claim to your wallet whenever you want.
