# Rewards and Calculation formula

This section provides detailed formulas and explanations on the factors influencing your daily minting rewards, including minting assets, minting power, and price fluctuations of LYK tokens.

## **Rewards Calculation for Auto Linking Off**

### **Step 1: Determine Each User’s Tokens and locking Limit**

* **Locked tokens Calculation:**
  * The Locked tokens are determined by the number of tokens you linked and the price of LYK tokens at the time of linking.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Formula***:*

`Tokens locked =(Day 0 Token count * Day 0 link price) + (Day 2 Token count * Day 2 link price) + (Day N Token count * Day N link price)`
{% endhint %}

* **Staking Limit:**
  * The maximum number of tokens you can stake depends on the chosen plan/machine and is limited by your available tokens relative to the current price of LYK tokens.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Formula*****:*** 

`Link Limit =(plan/machine Link Limit - Total tokens locked for the user) / Current LYK Price`
{% endhint %}

### **Step 2: Reward Calculation**

* **Daily Reward Calculation:**
  * Rewards are calculated daily at 00:00 UTC. The key factors involved in the calculation are:
    * **All Time High (ATH):** The highest price LYK has reached since you started link.
    * **Percentage Fall from ATH:** This measures how much the LYK price has dropped from its ATH.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Formula:**

`Percentage Fall from ATH = (ATH - LYK Price) / ATH`
{% endhint %}

* **Decrease Level Price (DLP):** The LYK price at the time of enrollment, adjusted based on price falls from ATH.
  * **Inflation Rules:**

* **Production Decrease Calculation:**
  * When the LYK price falls or remains unchanged, use the % fall from ATH to fetch the production decrease % from a predefined table.
  * When the LYK price increases, calculate the % fall from DLP.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Formula:**

`Percentage Fall from DLP = (DLP - LYK Price) / DLP`
{% endhint %}

* **Minting Power:**
  * Minting power is determined by your chosen plan/machine and remains fixed once defined.
  * Minting Boost is common for all users and applicable to the overall NodeK program. At the launch of NodeK the minting boost will be 0.00%. When the LYK price falls from previous day price, the % fall from ATH value is used to fetch the boost value from the table added in earlier section

{% hint style="success" %}
**Formula:**

`Minting Power = Plan's Base Minting Power + Minting boost`
{% endhint %}

* **Reward Calculation:**
  * Your daily reward is calculated based on your minting power, the number of staked tokens, and the reward rate.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Formula:**

`Daily Reward = Total Tokens locked Value * Minting Power * Production Reduction * 0.7`
{% endhint %}

## **Rewards Calculation for Auto linking On**

### **Step 1: Determine Each User’s Token Locked value and link Limit**

* **Token Locked Value Calculation:**
  * For Auto linking On, your Token Locke Value includes the rewards received in addition to the staked tokens.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Formula:**

`Total Token locked value = (Previous Day token amount) + (Previous Day $ Rewards)`
{% endhint %}

* **Daily Auto Linking**:
  * Rewards from the previous day are added to your token locked value amount daily and summed into the staked equivalent token at the prevailing LYK price for that day.

**Step 2: Reward Calculation**

* The calculation logic is the same as for Auto linking Off.
* **Reward Calculation:**

{% hint style="success" %}
**`Formula:`**

`Daily Reward = Total token locked Value * Minting Power * Production Reduction`
{% endhint %}
