# Points & Rewards

#### Key Details

* Distribution: 1m Points have been distributed to afLP pre-depositors on 2/18.
* Updates: Point & liquid $SUI distribution will be every 2 weeks.

## How Rewards Work

**afLP Vault:** The afLP vault works like a yield-bearing token. When you deposit, you receive vault shares. As the vault earns perps trading fees, the value of each share increases automatically. There is nothing to claim — your balance grows over time. The APR shown is the annualised rate of that share appreciation, not a guaranteed payout.

**Trading Rewards:** If you are actively trading (maker/taker), SUI incentive rewards do need to be manually claimed on the Rewards page.

### Epoch Schedule & Incentives

Our points & incentive system operates on a bi-weekly (2-week) cycle. Points & incentives are calculated based on protocol activity during the epoch, with new incentives deployed every other Monday.

#### Bi-Weekly Transition Schedule

The transition between epochs occurs every second Monday, starting March 2nd, 2026, according to the following schedule:

| Event                         | Eastern Time (ET) | UTC Time       |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------- | -------------- |
| Epoch Cutoff & Snapshot       | Monday @ 12:00 AM | Monday @ 05:00 |
| New Incentives & Distribution | Monday @ 12:00 PM | Monday @ 17:00 |
