#### <mark style="color:$primary;">Can You Stack Rewards?</mark>

skill leaderboards: you get your best skill reward only

topic kings: yhis one stacks! If you're a topic king <mark style="color:$primary;">`AND`</mark> a skill leaderboard winner, you get both rewards

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">Reward Curve Formula</mark>

For each category, rewards are calculated using an inverse power curve:

$$
weight(rank) = 1 / rank^p
$$

$$
p = 0.75
$$

$$
reward(rank) = categorybudget \* weight(rank) / sum(weight(1..N))
$$

Where *N* is the number of winner slots in that category (10 or 3)

For a given rank *r*, budget *B*, and number of winners *N*:

$$
reward(r) = B \* (1 / r^{0.75}) / sum(1 / k^{0.75})
$$

for k = 1..N

\
simplified: the reward is the budget multiplied by the rank's weight fraction over the sum of all weights

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">How Rankings Work</mark>

Leaderboards reset every week - fresh start each Monday. If someone above you gets their reward from a different category, you slide up and get a better prize.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">FAQ</mark>

1. **What if I'm on multiple skill leaderboards?**&#x20;

*You'll automatically get the highest reward. The system picks the best one for you - no action needed.*

2. **What if I'm a Topic King AND on a skill leaderboard?**&#x20;

*You get both! Topic Kings rewards are bonus rewards on top of your skill leaderboard prize.*

3. **What's a "Topic King"?**&#x20;

*Each week, we look at the 3 most popular markets (by trading volume). The trader with the highest volume in each of those markets is crowned the "king" of that topic. Three markets = three kings.*

4. **What happens if there are fewer than 10 traders in a category?**&#x20;

*The full budget is split among however many traders there are. Fewer competitors = bigger prizes for each!*

5. **Do I need to sign up?**&#x20;

*You need to trade at least* $100 trading volume *to get in the competition. No signup needed.*

6. **When do I get paid?**&#x20;

*Rewards are calculated after each weekly period ends and distributed in $MON tokens.*
