# Season 1 Polis Points

The rules of Polis Points Season 1, which ran from 21 July to 31 August 2026.

Polis Points track eligible participation across City Protocol-powered structured products. Season 1 rewarded participants who used registered vaults, maintained eligible positions and built a longer participation history.

**Campaign period:** The season ran from 21 July to 31 August 2026 and is complete.

## How to participate

1. Choose an eligible City Protocol-powered product through [Venzo](https://app.venzofinance.com).
2. Keep the position eligible to earn Polis Points each day.
3. Check the campaign dashboard for your balance, multipliers and point history.

Points begin only after City Protocol publishes the eligible contract and its activation time. Exact UTC cutoffs, activation times and eligibility status appear on the campaign dashboard.

## How Polis Points work

The base rate is 1 Polis Point per US$1 of eligible value per day at 1x.

```
Daily Vault Factors
= eligible USD value
× active vault multiplier
× position multiplier
× Genesis multiplier
× loyalty multiplier
× referred user multiplier

Total Polis Points
= daily Vault Factors
+ qualified referral points
+ approved quest points
```

Yield and Polis Points are calculated separately, so a strategy's yield does not change its points multiplier.

## Active vault multiplier

Every eligible Curated Vault carried a 3x active vault multiplier in Season 1.

## Position multiplier

The position multiplier applies to the TVL held across one wallet. The calculation uses the lower of the wallet's current eligible TVL and its rolling seven-day time-weighted average, so a higher milestone applies after the wallet maintains the required TVL for the full seven-day window.

| Total eligible TVL       | Position multiplier |
| ------------------------ | ------------------- |
| Below US$1,000           | 1x                  |
| US$1,000 to US$2,999     | 1.25x               |
| US$3,000 to US$24,999    | 1.5x                |
| US$25,000 to US$99,999   | 2x                  |
| US$100,000 to US$249,999 | 2.5x                |
| US$250,000 to US$999,999 | 3x                  |
| US$1,000,000 or more     | 4x                  |

## Genesis boost

Genesis rewards early eligible deposits. Each deposit lot receives the multiplier available when that lot enters.

| Entry period               | Genesis multiplier |
| -------------------------- | ------------------ |
| 21 to 26 July 2026         | 3x                 |
| 27 July to 5 August 2026   | 1.5x               |
| Outside the Genesis window | 1x                 |

The extra Genesis portion remains pending until the deposit lot stays eligible for 21 consecutive days. An early exit cancels the pending Genesis increment, and the 1x Vault Factors already earned remain. A later top-up starts a new deposit lot with its own entry multiplier.

## Loyalty multiplier

Loyalty is measured for each deposit lot using its continuous eligible age.

| Continuous eligible age | Loyalty multiplier |
| ----------------------- | ------------------ |
| 0 to 14 days            | 1x                 |
| 15 to 29 days           | 1.5x               |
| 30 to 59 days           | 2x                 |
| 60 days or more         | 3x                 |

A full exit ends the lot's loyalty clock.

## Referral points

Referral rewards use one direct layer:

* **Referrer:** The referrer receives 15% of each qualified invitee's Vault Factors.
* **Qualified invitee:** The qualified invitee receives a 5% bonus on their own Vault Factors.

Referral and quest points do not feed back into the calculation. Each wallet can have one referrer. Self-referrals, circular referrals and multi-level rewards do not qualify, and the campaign dashboard applies the current eligibility and anti-sybil checks.

## Example

A wallet deposited US$25,000 into an eligible Curated Vault on 21 July 2026 and held it without interruption. On 28 July 2026, its rolling seven-day average is US$25,000, so the position multiplier is 2x; the deposit lot entered in the 3x Genesis window; and the loyalty multiplier is 1x because the lot is seven days old. The wallet joined through a referral, so it receives the 5% invitee bonus, and it has referred a user whose Daily Vault Factors are 100,000 on that day.

```
Daily Vault Factors on 28 July 2026
= US$25,000
× 3.00 active vault
× 2.00 position multiplier
× 3.00 Genesis
× 1.00 loyalty
× 1.05 referred bonus
= 472,500 points

Referral points = 100,000 × 15% = 15,000
Total points = 472,500 + 15,000 = 487,500
```

The Genesis increment in this example is confirmed once the deposit lot has stayed eligible for 21 consecutive days.
