Is there a season 4 claim or eligibility checker?
A checker will not be available, however, you can check our season 4 gitbook page here: https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/events/season-4/season-rewards. Also, users will be able to send feedback or questions about their eligibility to our support team or though this form here https://forms.gle/Q9HAA1uVYLYs21yJ9.
Am I eligible for the Season 4 airdrop if I only hold eBTC and not eETH or weETH?
This depends on the DeFi integrations it was held in and/or campaigns participated in with eBTC.
Will I receive rewards if I only participated in the DeFi protocols listed on the Portfolio page?
No, you may receive rewards simply by holding eETH or weETH, or participating in events during the season.
Do I need to have a YT position to qualify for rewards?
Not at all! Please see full conditions here: https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/events/season-4/season-rewards.
Do I need to participate in the Golden Bull campaign to receive the rest of my Season 4 rewards?
No, the eligibility of Golden Bull and Season 4 are separate.
Distribution
How much ETHFI was distributed during season 4?
Over 7 million ETHFI was distributed to the community during Season 4.
Why are ETHFI rewards distributed in KING tokens unlike in previous seasons?
As a linear distribution, this allows all EIGEN, ETHFI and other rewards earned consolidated into one claimable experience, where the claimable amount can build up over time. We believe the method of KING distribution is healthy for partner protocols such as AVSs looking to award participation as well as stakers regardless of deposit size.
Will I be able to see a breakdown of how my rewards were calculated after the season ends?
A summary of your Season 4 participation will be provided once rewards are distributed.
How can I check the amount of ETHFI tokens I received via KING?
A summary of your Season 4 participation, including your total KING earned from Season 4, will be provided once rewards are distributed.
Are partners rewards already included in this allocation?
Yes! Some may be distributed separately. In those cases, we will notify you on claim details.
How do KING allocations work?
All of the KING minting and distribution happens on the LRT level. If you participate in one specific campaign and the LRT decides to mint rewards for that campaign, they will deposit it into the protocol vault, mint the KING, and distribute that on a weekly basis. So if you were participating during that specific campaign, the LRT will take care of you for that specific epoch of reward distribution.
Is there a minimum allocation for users?
No. Seasonal rewards will be 100% linear.
Claiming
How do I claim my rewards from season 4? Do I need to manually claim them?
Unlike previous seasons, there is no official claim experience for Season 4. Your rewards will be distributed for Season 4 mid February and you will see all Season 4 rewards distributed via KING token (formerly named LRT^2), resulting in a KING balance increase. Distribution is 100% linear. An official announcement will be shared with the community once rewards for Season 4 have been distributed.
Is there a deadline to claim my Season 4 rewards?
There is no official claim experience for Season 4. Your rewards will be distributed for Season 4 in the middle of February and you will see all Season 4 rewards go into the KING token at this time.
Does claiming and unwrapping KING tokens count as "exiting/withdrawing" in relation to Season 4 eligibility?
No, however it would count against the King Protocol points program: https://docs.kingprotocol.org/points.html.
Can I claim KING on L2, or does it have to be on mainnet?
At the moment, KING is only available on mainnet, but the King Protocol team has plans to allow it to be claimable on L2s in the very near future. Stay tuned for details!
Where can I unwrap KING?
Go to your ether.fi portfolio at https://app.ether.fi/portfolio , click the King protocol “View Rewards” button, then click “Unwrap” once you’ve claimed your KING.
