# Other epochs

The first epoch starts on the 2nd of May at 00:00 UTC.

Here is the airdrop distribution per epoch:

| Epoch | Rewards |
| :---: | :-----: |
|   1   |  48,215 |
|   2   |  50,374 |
|   3   |  52,625 |
|   4   |  54,975 |
|   5   |  57,425 |
|   6   |  59,981 |
|   7   |  62,648 |
|   8   |  65,430 |
| Total | 501,675 |

​We decided to change the rules from the 8th epoch. Until epoch 8th, 501,675 NST has been distributed; there are 2,123,325 tokens left. The total amount of rewards R to be distributed during the following epochs depends on the volume generated by all the users at each epoch:

|      Volume in USD     | Rewards in NST |
| :--------------------: | :------------: |
|   1,000,000 and less   |     10,000     |
| ]1,000,000; 3,000,000] |     25,000     |
| ]3,000,000; 5,000,000] |     40,000     |
|   5,000,000 and more   |     50,000     |

Every hour, users' scores will be computed according to the following formula:

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

We compute the cumulative sum of each score for each user j at the end of an epoch k:

$$
m\_{jk}={\displaystyle\sum\_{p=1}^{168}s\_{pjk}}
$$

Rewards will then be distributed according to the following formula:

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

$$f\_{jk}$$ **does not take into account transaction fees (gas costs), but only the platform's fees, as stated in** [Fees distribution](/general-information/fees-managment.md)

Example:&#x20;

* Bob obtained a score of 100 at the end of the first epoch.&#x20;
* The cumulative sum of all user's scores is 1000.&#x20;
* There is 50,000 NST to be distributed at the end of this first epoch.

$$
r\_{bob}= 50,000  \* \frac{100}{1000}=5000
NST
$$

Bob will earn 5000 NST at the end of the first epoch.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                &#x20;
