Reward Distribution

The following is an overview of how Rewards Distribution works:

Currently, we are giving away $1,337 worth of NCT per day. So, each day PolySwarm creates a pot of NCT to give away. Then, we run an algorithm that analyzes two important factors:

1. the data provided by all Users during the previous day
2. how the data provided by Users relates to threat intelligence that our customers want

Based on those factors, the algorithm determines which Users will get a portion of that days' Rewards. Finally, it distributes the portions of Rewards to those Users' Rewards Wallet.

Current Balance

This is the total amount of NCT in the Rewards Wallet.

Redeeming

Once a User has some NCT in their Rewards Wallet, they can Redeem those tokens. Redeeming is the action to withdraw tokens from your Rewards Wallet and transfer them to your personal ETH/NCT wallet. Before you can Redeem tokens, you must Configure Withdrawals on your Rewards Wallet.

Rewards Summary

A Rewards program has a collection of categories where Users can earn NCT. The Rewards Summary has a table that lists the Categories where a User has earned NCT and how much NCT a User has earned. Users can select a date range to view the Categories and NCT amounts during specific ranges of time.
