How Are Binance Launchpool Rewards Calculated?

How Do Launchpool Rewards Work?

Binance Launchpool lets you stake BNB or other tokens to earn free new project tokens. Register on the Binance Official Website or use the Binance Official App to participate early. Apple users see the iOS Installation Guide.

Core Parameters

Each project defines: total reward pool, staking pools (usually BNB and FDUSD), allocation ratios (e.g., 85% BNB pool, 15% FDUSD pool), farming duration (7-30 days), and daily distribution caps.

Reward Formula

Your daily reward = Daily pool distribution x (Your stake / Total pool stake)

Example: BNB pool distributes 850,000 tokens daily. Total pool stake: 10M BNB. Your stake: 100 BNB. Daily reward: 850,000 x (100 / 10,000,000) = 8.5 tokens. Over 10 days: 85 tokens.

Key point: Total pool stake changes dynamically. Early participation means higher share before more people join and dilute rewards.

Hourly Snapshot Mechanism

Rewards are calculated via hourly snapshots of your staked amount and total pool size. Mid-hour deposits do not count for earlier snapshots. Frequent deposits/withdrawals do not game the system.

Factors Affecting Returns

Your stake size (pools usually have per-user caps). Total pool participation (popular projects = more dilution). New token price after listing (determines actual dollar value of rewards). BNB vs. FDUSD pool (sometimes FDUSD pool offers better per-unit returns despite smaller allocation).

Typical Return Ranges

For BNB stakers: popular projects ~5-15% annualized, average projects ~10-30%, low-participation projects ~50%+. Note these are annualized from short farming periods - actual absolute returns depend on duration and token price.

How to Participate

Have BNB or FDUSD ready. Find Launchpool in the app. Select an active project and pool. Enter your stake amount and confirm. Rewards accumulate hourly and auto-distribute to your spot account after farming ends.

Risks

Mechanically, Launchpool is zero-principal-loss - staked tokens are returned in full. Indirect risks include BNB price drops during farming and new token prices underperforming expectations.

Tips

Check total pool stake before committing to estimate your return. You can unstake anytime without affecting previously earned rewards. If estimated returns are too low, consider using BNB elsewhere.
