If you saw the asterisk* next to the prize amounts you probably have questions about the prize contestants can win.
The prize amounts listed are estimated. Actual prize amounts will vary but be in the range of amounts listed.
Here’s why.
Like other Apollo-hosted contests, there is a variable formula that determines the total prize payout. The formula takes into account the number of tokens in the Apollo DAO fund, the number of contestants in a contest, and the ratio of first-time voters to previous voters.
Here’s the simple formula for the base prize:
PRIZE = NUM_OF_APOLLO_DAO_TOKENS * (NUM_CONTESTANTS * TBD)
There is also a bonus addon if a voter threshold is met:
BONUS = PRIZE * (NEW_VOTERS / PREVIOUS_VOTERS * 100%)
