Optimize your points for this first season, ending at TGE.
Noon’s governance token ($NOON) is set to launch in Q2 2025 with our Token Generation Event (TGE). However, to recognise and reward our early supporters for their engagement, we’re introducing a rewards program ahead of the TGE. Below is a summary of the points program. Users will soon be able to find detailed information—such as specific multipliers for partner protocols and related activities—in the Rewards section of the Noon dApp.
Objectives
In designing our rewards programme, we wanted to adopt a few objectives:
-
Simple and clear: We've seen complex rewards programmes before - but to make it easy for everyone to understand (and benefit) from our rewards programme, we want to ensure it is as simple and clear as possible.
-
Rewards value-added users and force multipliers: We know it's hard to succeed in web3 without a strong community and user base. So we wanted to ensure that the users who helped us the most - be it in terms of deposits, referrals, or other value-drivers.
-
Rewards long-term partners: We are in this for the long term. And we want to reward users who share a similar view.
Rewards Programme: Design
The design for our rewards programme can be summed up into a few short principles:
Points: Holdings [live now]
Holders of USN and sUSN will receive a base number of points daily.
-
USN: 70 points per USN held per dayComment
-
sUSN: 10 point per sUSN held per day
As USN users are forgoing their raw return, we wanted to ensure they were being rewarded disproportionately.
Points: Boost [live now]
We want to ensure that our users explore the full power of Noon by using USN and sUSN in the ecosystem. Therefore, there are several types of activities we have chosen to highlight, and apply points boosts for. These multipliers will be on top of the holdings points, above.
-
DEX liquidity provisioning: It's critical for users to be able to buy USN and sUSN quickly and simply on DEXes. This is why we will reward users who provide DEX liquidity with the highest boost. This will typically be up to 4x.
-
Yield vaults / yield programmes: We want to promote the use of USN and sUSN as a stable source of capital for yield vaults and yield programmes. This is why we will reward these yield vaults typically with a boost of up to 3x.
-
Lend / borrow protocols: We know that lending and borrowing is a critical component of the DeFi ecosystem, and that strategies like looping can often be quite lucrative. We will boost these activities, in particular for USN (as looping sUSN will already be highly profitable) by up to 2x.
-
Ad-hoc use cases: We don't pretend to know the future. We're confident that there might be novel use-cases that we'd love for our users to be able to experience, and we'd like to incentivise. We will reserve the right to announce additional points boosts in cases like this, and ensure that we communicate these to you clearly and well in advance, so you can take advantage of these opportunities.
Please bear in mind: the above is a guide. We may choose to increase the boost for certain strategic partners more than the above, depending on our priorities. We will announce any adjustments to the points boosts for partners on a monthly basis.
Points: Referrals
Referrals are incredibly important for Noon. We want all our users to love using our protocol, so much so that they tell everyone all about it. Simultaneously, we want to welcome the friends of our users warmly. In order to nudge our users in this direction, we will reward as follows:
-
Referrers: For those who refer other users, they will be awarded with 10% of the points earned by the wallets they have referred.
-
Referrals: For those who have been referred by others, we will award them with a 2.5% points boost until the end of the current season.
Token: Multiplier
We want to ensure that our long term users are rewarded with the most tokens. In order to do so, when users convert their points to $NOON tokens (at TGE, and thereafter), we will allow them to stake their $NOON, or receive it in their wallet unstaked. If they leave their $NOON staked in their wallet, they will receive the following token multipliers:
-
3 months: 2x
-
6 months: 3x
-
9 months: 4x
-
12 months: 5x
These multipliers will be automatically applied to your staked $NOON ($sNOON) token positions. There will be no need to lock your staked governance tokens - users will be free to unstake them at any point - but this will "stop the clock" on their token multiplier, and fix the multiple on the last time milestone they had crossed (namely, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months).
Rewards Program: $NOON Distribution
At Noon, fairness is a priority—we want our community to receive the largest share of our governance token, $NOON. That’s why we’ve allocated 65-80% of the total token supply to be distributed directly to our users.
As part of this initiative, up to 4% of the total $NOON supply will be distributed to Public Beta users, assuming all participants maximize their token multipliers. Our Public Beta will end when the $NOON token has its Token Generation Event (TGE), in late Q2 2025. Which will be the end of the first points programme season.
Over the next 12 months, we estimate that 15-20% of $NOON's total supply will be distributed. However, this amount may vary due to our dynamic distribution model, which adjusts monthly token allocations based on the remaining supply in the Community Pool. If more tokens remain—due to users choosing shorter staking periods—subsequent months will see a higher distribution.
Where are we now?
Today, we are already rewarding our users based on the Holdings and Boost principles detailed above. In our pursuit of transparency, we will release a detailed Rewards page in the next 2 weeks for our users to be able to see exactly how they’re currently earning rewards, and what they can do to earn even more. This is when our referral programme will also go live, to allow our community to be rewarded for inviting your network to join us.
Don’t miss out—engage early and maximise your rewards!
