Check the participation guide **3. Which coins can I stake in Gate Launchpool?** The tokens eligible for participation will be announced on the mining page of each project. Please visit the corresponding page of Gate Launchpool to view more details. **4. How many tokens will be rewarded?** Hourly staking reward = (Individual latest 1-hour valid staking amount / Total pool staking amount) × Hourly reward pool (The platform will take multiple snapshots of personal staking amounts each hour, and take the average staking amount as the valid staking amount.) **5. How are rewards distributed?** The platform will take multiple snapshots of personal staking amounts hourly, and token rewards are distributed to eligible users. Hourly earnings will be distributed into users’ spot accounts. Failure to meet this requirement will result in ineligibility for the airdrop in that round. Please ensure you meet the minimum trading volume requirement in advance. **6. When will the staked assets be redeemed?** After the user redeems in advance or the staking is completed, the staked assets will be transferred to Simple Earn by default. If this option is unchecked, the staked assets will be redeemed into spot assets. \-If the amount of redeemed assets is too small and does not meet the minimum claim amount of Simple Earn, the assets will be automatically transferred to spot assets. \-If Simple Earn does not support the claim of the redeemed token, the assets will also be automatically transferred to spot assets. **7. Can I redeem my staked assets at any time?** The platform will take multiple snapshots of personal staking amounts each hour and calculate the valid staking amount. However, early redemption may result in the loss of accrued rewards. Please maintain stable staking amounts to ensure mining rewards. **8. Can I add additional staked assets?** You can increase your staked assets at any time. The more tokens you stake, the greater your potential mining rewards. However, once the reward cap is reached, you will no longer receive staking rewards. **9. Can I participate in multiple projects at the same time?** When there are multiple Launchpool projects going on at the same time, you can stake in different pools to receive new token mining rewards for multiple projects. (Each staking pool needs to be staked separately. If you only stake assets in Pool A, you will not be able to obtain rewards from Pool B. You can stake Pool A and Pool B separately to obtain the corresponding mining rewards of new tokens.) **10. What is the maximum mining reward I can receive?** The Hourly Reward Hard Cap Per User for each project is different. Once the cap is reached, no further staking rewards will be granted. Please refer to the relevant announcements or the mining page for the reward hard cap limit for each project. **11.

What will happen to my funds if the project is ended early?** In case of early ending, your staked principal will be automatically redeemed as soon as the project is ended and your last interest will be distributed on the hour after the end time. The interest distribution before the ending will not be affected. **13. How is the 60-day total trading volume calculated?** 60-Day Total Trading Volume = 60-Day Spot Trading Volume + (60-Day Futures Trading Volume × 40%) **14. Is there a staking cap?** The staking cap will be determined by the user's total trading volume over the past 60 days at the time of staking. By achieving a higher trading volume, users can unlock a higher staking cap. Specific staking cap and detailed participation rules are subject to the announcement for each Launchpool project. Please refer to the Launchpool page for specifics. ### About Annual Percentage Rate(APR) **1. When the reward coin is the staked coin:** APR = (total rewards released in the last hour / last hour’s total staked) x 365 x 24 x 100%. **2. When the reward coin is NOT the staked coin:** APR = (Total rewards released in the last hour x closing price of the reward coin of the last hour) / (Last hour’s total staked x closing price of the staked coin of the last hour) x 365 x 24 x 100%. Note: The APR is an estimate and for reference only. The actual annualized return you finally receive shall prevail. APR data is updated hourly. ### About transferring the redeemed assets to Simple Earn Fixed Term **1. How to get airdrop bonuses?** When you stake BTC, GT, ETH, and USDT in Launchpool, you'll get a bonus, which is still subject to the individual reward cap per hour, by choosing to transfer the redeemed assets to Simple Earn Fixed Term. Please note that subscriptions to Simple Earn flexible-term or fixed-term ones outside Launchpool will not qualify for bonuses. **2. Why didn't I receive a bonus after subscribing to Simple Earn Fixed Term when staking?** If you've reached the reward cap per hour, no more bonuses will be distributed. ### About Total Staked The Total Staked refers to the cumulative amount staked in the pool. This metric is a cumulative total that includes the staked assets users have redeemed. Example: If a user stakes 100,000 USDT and redeems 20,000 USDT, the total staked in the pool remains 100,000 USDT. This calculation method is consistent with industry standards.
