## **How Points Were Earned in Season 1**

Season 1 Genesis tracked real protocol usage automatically throughout the entire period. Here's exactly how participants earned their allocations:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important**: [TRWA](/tharwa/core-products/tokenomics.md) holding did not earn Genesis Points. Only [thUSD](/tharwa/core-products/thusd-the-stablecoin-built-differently.md) ecosystem participation counted for Season 1 allocations.
{% endhint %}

### **Allocation Calculation Example**

From the [snapshot methodology](https://github.com/tharwa-finance/drops-snapshots):

**User holds 2,500 thUSD for 45 days:**

1. Annualized balance: 2,500 × (45 days ÷ 365 days) = $308
2. Apply APY factor (20%): $308 × 0.2 = $61.64 USD value
3. Convert to TRWA at snapshot price: $61.64 ÷ $0.0085 = **7,252 TRWA**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Transparent Methodology**: All calculation details, eligible contracts, and exclusion criteria are documented in the [drops-snapshots repository](https://github.com/tharwa-finance/drops-snapshots).
{% endhint %}

## **Reward Distribution**

### **TRWA Allocation Source**

Season 1 points converted into [**TRWA**](/tharwa/core-products/tokenomics.md) **governance tokens** from the community incentives allocation:

* **Source**: 20% of total [TRWA](/tharwa/core-products/tokenomics.md) supply reserved for community incentives
* **Season 1**: First distribution from this allocation pool
* **Future Seasons**: Remaining allocation reserved for upcoming campaigns
* **Final Amounts**: All calculations completed and available in the [snapshot data](https://github.com/tharwa-finance/drops-snapshots)

### **How Distribution Worked**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### **Snapshot Complete**

**October 1, 2025 at 00:00:11 UTC (Block 23479244)**

* All points earning stopped immediately at snapshot time
* Final point balances calculated across all eligible activities
* Sybil and abuse pattern review conducted on all participants
* Flagged wallets penalized or excluded from final allocation
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Proportional Calculation**

**Merit-Based Allocation Formula**

```
Your TRWA = (Your Valid Points / Total Valid Points) × Season 1 Allocation
```

* **Merit-based**: Higher contribution = larger share of total allocation
* **Proportional**: Your slice based on total Season 1 participation
* **Fair**: Rewards genuine protocol usage over farming attempts
* **Transparent**: All methodology documented in [snapshot repository](https://github.com/tharwa-finance/drops-snapshots)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Vested Distribution**

**3-Month Linear Vesting**

* Prevents immediate sell pressure on [TRWA](/tharwa/core-products/tokenomics.md) token
* Encourages continued participation in protocol development
* Protects existing [TRWA](/tharwa/core-products/tokenomics.md) holders from dilution
* Aligns long-term incentives with protocol growth
* Vesting begins from claim date, not snapshot date
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}
