Pledge Points Explained

When you lock ANT, you gain the ability to assign Pledge Points to one or more projects.

These points represent support, not ownership. They’re used only to calculate your portion of the reward pool, and determine the prize winners.

The earlier you lock your ANT, the more Pledge Points you can assign per token, as the number of Pledge Points per ANT locked decreases exponentially over time:

  • Start of Week 1: 1 ANT = 2 Pledge Points

  • End of Week 4: 1 ANT = 1 Pledge Point

  • The point rate decays exponentially across the 4-week backing period.

You can see the exact number of Pledge Points per ANT locked at any time on the Backing Leaderboard.

There is no limit on how much ANT you can lock or how many Pledge Points you can assign.
