# Genesis Epoch

This page describes how the airdrop works during the genesis epoch.

For our first users who used Nested before the official announcement of the airdrop, we have something for you!&#x20;

We dubbed it Genesis: share a prize of 50,000 NST with your fellow Nesters!

The Genesis epoch runs from the 1st day of launch (February 23rd,2022) to the beginning of the first epoch.

$$
s\_{jk} =   v\_j^{0.4} \* Max(1;(c\_{jk}\*L\_{jk})^{0.1}) \*Max(1;d\_{jk})^{0.5}
$$

Genesis' rewards are then computed according to the formula below:&#x20;

$$
{r\_{jk}=R\_k\*\frac{s\_{jk}}{\displaystyle\sum\_{i=1}^{n\_k}s\_{ik}}}
$$
