# Rewards Boost Vine Money incorporates a rewards boost system, designed to amplify rewards for users actively participating in the platform’s governance through VINE token staking. This mechanism plays a significant role in incentivizing long-term commitment and active engagement in the ecosystem. ## **Understanding Rewards Boost** * **Eligibility for Boost**: Users who have staked and locked their VINE tokens as veVINE gain a lock weight that makes them eligible for enhanced emissions. * **Boost Calculation**: The boost is essentially a multiplier on the rewards that users can claim, based on the proportion of their locked veVINE weight. * **Claiming Rewards:** At launch, rewards are locked for 26 weeks, reducing by one every two weeks, reaching 0 one year after launch. Users may pay a withdrawal fee to exit their locks early. ## **Boost Calculation Mechanism** * **Calculating Rewards Boost:** The maximum boost multiplier is typically set at 2x, meaning a user can earn rewards at double the rate of an un-boosted user. $$ \text{User Boost Rate} = \min\left(\frac{\text{User’s Locked VINE Weight}}{\text{Total Locked VINE Weight}}, 1\right) \times \text{Boost Multiplier} $$ * **Decay of Boost Rate**: As a user's weekly claims exceed the amount permissible under maximum boost, the rate decays linearly from the maximum multiplier to 1x. * **Recalculation**: Boost rates are recalculated at the start of each week, refreshing the user’s potential to earn maximum rewards based on their updated lock weight. ## **Boost Delegation and Technical Aspects** * **Delegation of Boost**: Users with significant lock weight can delegate their boost capability to others, setting a fee structure for the use of their boost. This delegation can involve complex mechanics like callbacks for additional functionalities. * **Technical Considerations**: The boost system is designed to maximize the distribution of rewards, and undistributed rewards due to reduced boost rates are returned to the unallocated token supply for future distribution and a more sustainable emissions structure. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
