# How Rewards Are Shared

The **total** [**Rewards Pool**](https://guide.impossible-futures.com/impossible-futures-a-guide/how-it-works-for-backers/rewards-pool) comprised of **up t**o **1.5 million** Autonomi tokens**.**

* The size of the pool depends on how much Autonomi tokens is locked overall
* As more Autonomi token is committed, more reward tokens are unlocked incrementally.

The pool is split among **backers of projects that successfully deploy by 21 August 2025**.

Your reward is calculated based on the percentage of total [Pledge Points](https://guide.impossible-futures.com/impossible-futures-a-guide/how-it-works-for-backers/pledge-points-explained) you contributed, across all deployed projects.

It **doesn’t matter which specific projects you backed**, as long as they deployed — your Pledge Points from all qualifying apps are added together to calculate your share.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you backed to a project that doesn’t deploy, those points are excluded from the reward calculation, and won’t count toward your share. But **you still get your locked Autonomi tokens back** after 12 Months, on the 13th June 2026.
{% endhint %}

The **USDC cash prizes** (for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) are split among backers who pledged to those specific apps **during Week 1**, based on the **percentage of Pledge Points** they contributed to that app.
