Delegation $FUEGO and HEAT rewards
Choose a trader to back with your Fuegos. You do not place trades for them, and your NFTs stay in your wallet. In these rules, a Backer is a Fuego assigned to support a trader rather than registered for your own trading.
T1 has a separate delegation pool of approximately 425K $FUEGO. It does not come out of the trader's personal placement prize.
How the delegation pool is shared
Eligible delegated Fuegos share a separate reward pool. A trader's results and the number of eligible Fuegos backing them determine their group's allocation, which is shared equally among those Fuegos. Your reward also depends on delegation across the rest of the field. All eligible Fuegos backing the same account form a group.
Your reward = group reward × your eligible Fuegos ÷ all eligible Fuegos in the group
Within a group, each qualifying NFT has an equal share. Owning more of those NFTs increases your share. The group itself grows with diminishing weight, so doubling its NFT count does not double its share of the overall pool. A delegation amount is therefore not a fixed prize for a finishing rank: the same rank pays a different amount when the eligible backing across the whole field changes.
How rewards are shared within a group
Each qualifying delegated Fuego earns its own Activity HEAT. The backed trader's Backer placement HEAT is a separate pool, equal to that trader's placement award, shared across the qualifying delegated Fuegos backing the trader. The group's $FUEGO allocation follows the group's weight and the trader's performance within the whole field, then divides equally among the group's qualifying Fuegos.
Delegation rewards go to qualifying delegated Fuegos, not automatically to the trader they back. A trader with no delegators still earns their own eligible Trader rewards.
Reward calculators are temporarily unavailable while we review registration and delegation incentives. The published reward rules have not changed.
What happens outside the top 50?
Eligible delegators can still earn $FUEGO and Activity HEAT if their trader finishes outside the top 50. They do not receive placement HEAT from that finish. Each qualifying delegated NFT earns its own Activity HEAT, explained next.
If only one group has qualifying delegations, it can receive the whole delegation pool apart from rounding, including through valid self-delegation. No single mix of registration and delegation earns the most in every field.
