TRUTH Holder Season 1 — How Ticks & Diamond Hand Rewards Work

This page explains how Ticks are calculated and how Minor and Grand draws work during TRUTH Holder Season 1.

Ticks are a score that represents how many “draw tickets” your wallet has for reward distribution.

Campaign Periods & Draw Dates

This section defines the campaign timeline and the two tick-in periods.

Schedule

Minor Tick-In Period: 3 Jan 2026 → 10 Jan 2026
Minor Tick-Lock Period: 10 Jan 2026 → 24 Feb 2026
Minor Tick-Draw: 24 Feb 2026
Grand Tick-In Period: 24 Feb 2026 → 3 Mar 2026
Grand Tick-Lock Period: 3 Mar 2026 → 17 Apr 2026
Grand Tick-Draw: 17 Apr 2026

Tick-in Periods

The tick-in periods are the only windows where users can claim daily rewards freely.

During Minor Tick-In Period:
- Users can claim daily rewards.
- When the window ends, users are automatically subscribed into Minor Tick-Lock Period and become eligible for Minor Tick-Draw.
During Grand Tick-In Period:
- Users can claim daily rewards.
- When the window ends, users are automatically subscribed into Grand Tick-Lock Period and become eligible for Grand Tick-Draw.

In short: if a user does nothing, they still get auto-subscribed into the next period after the tick-in closes (depending on which tick-in window they are in).

Quick Summary

You earn Ticks from 3 sources:
1. Daily Unclaimed Rewards
2. Leasing Licenses
3. Staking $TRUTH (45 or 90 days)
We run two draws using a snapshot of your Tick Score:
- Minor Tick-Draw (Day 45): 10,000,000 $TRUTH distributed (24 Feb 2026)
- Grand Tick-Draw (Day 90): 20,000,000 $TRUTH distributed (17 Apr 2026)

The more ticks you have at snapshot time, the higher your chances of winning.

1) How Tick Score Is Calculated

Your total tick score is the sum of 3 parts:

tick_score_total = daily_tick_score + leasing_tick_score + staking_tick_score

Each part is calculated independently.

A) Daily Tick Score

Daily ticks come from unclaimed daily rewards. We weight locked unclaimed rewards slightly higher than unlocked unclaimed rewards.

What counts

Locked unclaimed tokens: Unclaimed daily rewards that are currently locked
Unlocked unclaimed tokens: Unclaimed daily rewards that are currently unlocked (withdrawable, but not claimed yet)

Multipliers

Locked unclaimed rewards: 4x
Unlocked unclaimed rewards: 3x
Bonus for “never claimed daily rewards”: 2x (daily only)

How it works

More unclaimed rewards → more ticks
Locked unclaimed rewards → slightly more ticks than unlocked
If you have never claimed daily rewards before, your daily tick score gets an extra 2x boost

B) Leasing Tick Score

Leasing ticks reward long-term commitment.

What counts

Your leasing term (6 / 12 / 18 months)
How far you are into the term (progress)
Your unclaimed leasing rewards

Current leasing multipliers

These multipliers weight your leasing contribution to ticks based on the lease term you choose:

6 months: 2x
12 months: 4x
18 months: 6x

How progress works

While you are still in your leasing term, your progress moves from 0 → 1
At the end of the term, progress is capped at 1

Post-maturity incentive

Maturity = when your lease term (6/12/18 months) completes.

After maturity:

Your leasing multiplier gets an immediate 3x boost
Then it increases by +0.01 per day you keep the license leased

Example:

If your base lease multiplier is 2.00x (6-month tier):
On maturity day: becomes 6.00x
After 3 days: becomes 6.03x

This is designed to encourage continued leasing instead of instantly unleasing / ending your lease at the end.

C) Staking Tick Score (45 or 90 Days)

Staking ticks come from your staked token amount.

What counts

Your staked token amount
Your chosen staking period (45 vs 90)

Multiplier

45 days: 1x
90 days: 2x

So choosing 90 days increases the tick weight of your staked tokens.

Full Example (Simple Walkthrough)

Here’s a simple example of how your Daily + Leasing + Staking add up into one Tick Score.

Tick conversion factor: To keep tick numbers readable, we scale token amounts by 0.01.

scaled_tokens = tokens * 0.01

Then we apply multipliers (4x, 3x, etc.) to calculate ticks.

Example wallet

Daily rewards

Locked unclaimed: 120,000 $TRUTH → scaled: 1200
Unlocked unclaimed: 30,000 $TRUTH → scaled: 300
Never claimed daily rewards before → Yes (so you get the 2x daily bonus)

Leasing

6-month tier (2x)
Lease is matured + 3 days → multiplier becomes 6.03x
Unclaimed leasing rewards: 200,000 $TRUTH → scaled: 2000

Staking

Staked 50,000 $TRUTH → scaled: 500
90 days (2x)

Step 1) Daily ticks

Weighted daily score = 1200×4 + 300×3 = 5700
Apply never-claimed daily bonus = 5700 × 2 = 11400

✅ Daily ticks = 11400

Step 2) Leasing ticks

Weighted leasing score = 2000 × 6.03 = 12060

✅ Leasing ticks = 12060

Step 3) Staking ticks

Weighted staking score = 500 × 2 = 1000

✅ Staking ticks = 1000

Total Tick Score

Total tick score = 11400 + 12060 + 1000 = 24460

Your actual tick score depends on your real balances and whether your lease is matured / which staking period you choose.

2) Diamond Hand Rewards — How the Draw Works

We run this draw mechanism twice:

Minor Tick-Draw: 10,000,000 tokens distributed
Grand Tick-Draw: 20,000,000 tokens distributed

For each draw:

We take a snapshot of your wallet’s tick_score
We distribute rewards using that snapshot

Only wallets with tick_score > 0 at snapshot time are eligible.

Your score after the snapshot affects future draws, not the current one.

Pools (Top / Mid / Core)

At snapshot time, wallets are ranked by Tick Score (highest to lowest), and rewards are distributed through 3 pools:

1) Top Pool

Ranks 1 → 50
Gets 25% of the total reward pool

2) Mid Pool

Ranks 51 → 250
Gets 25% of the total reward pool
Top pool wallets do not participate in Mid

3) Core Pool (Open to All)

All eligible wallets participate (including Top + Mid + everyone else)
Gets 50% of the total reward pool

This structure ensures:

Strong participants are consistently rewarded (Top/Mid)
Everyone still has upside through Core

Multiple Wins Are Allowed

A wallet can win multiple times in the same pool.

We use weighted “ticket draws with replacement”, meaning:

Winners are not removed
A wallet’s tick weight does not decrease after winning

Rewards are probabilistic — ticks increase your odds, but do not guarantee a win.

3) What This Means for You

How to maximize ticks

Keep daily rewards unclaimed (locked or unlocked both count)
Lease licenses for longer terms (and avoid unleasing after maturity if you want the maturity boost)
Stake tokens, and 90 days provides higher tick weight than 45

What happens if I claim?

Claiming reduces your “unclaimed” balances
That typically reduces the tick score substantially

4) Parameters Can Change

This system is designed to be configurable:

multipliers
pool splits
winner counts
reward pool sizes

We may tune parameters over time to keep incentives healthy and sustainable.
