### Distribution Rules
Token allocation is calculated based on each user's hourly average locked amount during the subscription period, relative to the project's total average commitment amount. Earlier participation results in a higher allocation.

#### Calculation Formula
Hourly Average Locked Amount = Total Hourly Locked Amount in Snapshots / Total Subscription Hours (48 hours)

#### Example
Assuming a 48-hour subscription period and Users A, B, and C each plan to commit 100,000 USDT:

* User A: Commits in the 1st hour and keeps funds locked throughout
Average Locked Amount = 100,000 × 48 / 48 = 100,000 USDT

* User B: Commits after 24 hours and holds until the end
Average Locked Amount = 100,000 × 24 / 48 = 50,000 USDT

* User C: Commits in the final hour
Average Locked Amount = 100,000 × 1 / 48 ≈ 2,083 USDT

#### Notes

* Actual token allocation depends on each user's proportion of the total average locked amount, subject to project allocation limits and individual caps.
* Examples are for illustration only and do not represent final results.
* Committed amount does not equal final token value or quantity. Final allocation is determined by system calculation.

#### Token Distribution
Committed funds will be locked during the subscription period and cannot be redeemed early. After distribution, the corresponding amount used to acquire tokens will be deducted, and any unused funds will be automatically refunded to the user's spot account.
If the final allocated token amount is less than 0.00000001, tokens will not be distributed, and the full committed amount will be refunded.

#### Simple Earn Bonus
Users who successfully subscribe to Launchpad and participate in Simple Earn USDT finance can enjoy up to 200% annualized yield.
