Staker Rewards
Stardust stakers receive 20% of the treasury in expected value. This allocation is distributed through Star Chests for the season, with staking activity determining each player's expected share. The Star Chest mechanism uses verifiable random functions (VRFs) to ensure fairness.
Leaderboard Rewards
Leaderboard performers receive fixed SOL payouts by percentile tier in Season 3. Those fixed payouts are calibrated to add up to the 50% leaderboard allocation. See the Leaderboard page for tier breakdowns.
Faction Rewards
Faction rewards are paid from the overall total treasury prize pool for the season. The 1st place faction receives 15% of the treasury, the 2nd place faction receives 5%, and the 3rd place faction receives no placement reward. Each awarded faction pool is divided evenly among members of that faction.
