How are rewards delivered?


Stablecoin Rewards

All payouts will be delivered directly to your wallet by the 15th of the following month.

Stablecoin rewards will be paid in USBC at a 1:1 ratio.

This means for every 1 USDC or 1 PYUSD you earn in rewards, you’ll receive 1 USBC instead.

Example: If you accumulate 10 USDC and 10 PYUSD in rewards, your total of 20 stablecoins will be converted into 20 USBC for the payout.

24hr Early Access and Special Token Reports

Once you unlock your reward, we’ll notify you via the app about special token reports, new tokens and early access opportunities. Make sure your notification settings are updated in the preference center so you don’t miss a thing! 


Don’t invest in crypto unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 minutes to learn more.
