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

This page explains how Ticks are calculated and how Minor and Major 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
Major Tick-In Period: 24 Feb 2026 → 3 Mar 2026
Major Tick-Lock Period: 3 Mar 2026 → 17 Apr 2026
Major 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 Major Tick-In Period:
- Users can claim daily rewards.
- When the window ends, users are automatically subscribed into Major Tick-Lock Period and become eligible for Major 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)
- Major 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

Progress goes from 0 → 1 over your full lease term (6 / 12 / 18 months)
We use a front-loaded progress curve so the dashboard progress is more visible early (especially for 12/18 month leases)
Progress is capped at 1 once your lease term completes

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 gets an extra post-maturity bonus that grows fast at the start and slows down over time (based on LN(days_after_maturity + 1))

Example:

If your base lease multiplier is 2.00x (6-month tier):
- On maturity day (day 0): becomes 6.00x
- After 3 days: becomes ~7.39x (6 + LN(1 + 3) ≈ 7.39)
- After 7 days: becomes ~8.08x (6 + LN(1 + 7) ≈ 8.08)

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 ~7.39x
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 × 7.39 ≈ 14780

✅ Leasing ticks ≈ 14780

Step 3) Staking ticks

Weighted staking score = 500 × 2 = 1000

✅ Staking ticks = 1000

Total Tick Score

Total tick score ≈ 11400 + 14780 + 1000 = 27180

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 same draw system twice in Season 1:

Minor Tick-Draw (24 Feb 2026): 10,000,000 $TRUTH
Major Tick-Draw (17 Apr 2026): 20,000,000 $TRUTH

For each draw:

We take a snapshot of each wallet’s tick_score
We rank wallets by that snapshot (highest → lowest)
We run weighted draws using the snapshot tick scores

Eligibility: only wallets with tick_score > 0 at snapshot time are eligible.

Any changes after the snapshot affect future draws, not the current one.

A) Season 1 Draw Parameters

These parameters are the same for both Minor and Major draws (only the total reward pool changes):

Rank cutoffs (by tick score)

Top Pool: ranks 1 → 100
Mid Pool: ranks 101 → 500
Core Pool: all eligible wallets (includes Top + Mid + everyone else)

Reward split (of the total reward pool)

Top Pool: 40%
Mid Pool: 20%
Core Pool: 40%

Number of draw events (“prizes”) per pool

Top Pool: 500 draws
Mid Pool: 2,000 draws
Core Pool: 8,000 draws

Total: 10,500 draw events per draw (Minor or Major).

B) Pools Explained (Top / Mid / Core)

1) Top Pool (Rank 1 → 100)

Only the top 100 wallets by tick score enter this pool
Receives 40% of the reward pool
Runs 500 weighted draw events

2) Mid Pool (Rank 101 → 500)

Wallets ranked 101 → 500 enter this pool
Receives 20% of the reward pool
Runs 2,000 weighted draw events
Top pool wallets do not participate in Mid

3) Core Pool (Open to all eligible wallets)

All wallets with tick_score > 0 participate (including Top + Mid)
Receives 40% of the reward pool
Runs 8,000 weighted draw events

This structure ensures:

Strong participants get additional upside (Top/Mid)
Everyone still has upside through Core

C) How Rewards Are Calculated

Each pool’s reward allocation is split into equal-size prizes:

prize_per_win = pool_amount / number_of_draws_in_that_pool

So each “draw event” selects one winner, and that winner receives the fixed prize amount for that pool.

Minor Draw (10,000,000 $TRUTH)

Pool	Pool Share	Pool Amount	Draw Events	Prize Per Win
Top	40%	4,000,000	500	8,000 $TRUTH
Mid	20%	2,000,000	2,000	1,000 $TRUTH
Core	40%	4,000,000	8,000	500 $TRUTH

Major Draw (20,000,000 $TRUTH)

Pool	Pool Share	Pool Amount	Draw Events	Prize Per Win
Top	40%	8,000,000	500	16,000 $TRUTH
Mid	20%	4,000,000	2,000	2,000 $TRUTH
Core	40%	8,000,000	8,000	1,000 $TRUTH

D) Weighted Draws + Multiple Wins

Within each pool, winners are selected using weighted draws with replacement:

Each draw event picks one wallet
The chance to be picked is proportional to your tick score
Winners are not removed
Your weight does not decrease after winning
A wallet can win multiple times in the same pool (and across multiple pools)

That’s why you may see:

fewer unique winners than total draw events
some wallets winning multiple prizes

E) Your Odds

In any pool:

Let w = your_tick_score
Let S = sum_of_all_tick_scores_in_that_pool
Then your chance in a single draw event is:

p = w / S

From there:

Expected wins ≈ draw_events × p
Expected reward ≈ pool_amount × p

Ticks increase your odds, but do not guarantee a win.

F) Tie-breaking (Ranking)

Wallets are ranked by:

higher tick_score first
if equal, a deterministic tie-break is used (so rank ordering is stable)

3) What This Means for You

How to maximize ticks

Keep daily rewards unclaimed (locked or unlocked both count)
Lease for longer terms, and if your lease has matured, keeping it leased increases your multiplier further (post-maturity bonus)
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.
