# Additional Rewards for Index Holders

The Cryptoindex platform is primarily a cohesive community of token creators and holders. Only with the attention from users and their support Cryptoindex platform can create value for the Web3 space, grow, and expand its influence to a larger audience.

Recognizing the importance of the community, the Cryptoindex platform has created a separate reward program for index holders. This program expands the benefits for index holders, comprising 2 components:

* Primary value (actual change in the index value over a period).
* Additional value from long-term index holding.

Below is more detailed information on the formation and distribution of the additional value component.

To be eligible for additional value, users need to lock their index tokens in a lock smart contract. These locked tokens can be used for voting on index rebalancing issues.

Rewards are distributed in INDX tokens. The allocation size for each index is determined proportionally by the amount of fees paid by users within each index. It means that only fees of this index are allocated to the holders of a particular index.

Rewards are distributed at the end of each epoch (1 week) based on the number of locked tokens and the duration for which they were locked. By following the incentive program rules and keeping the tokens locked until the end of the epoch, users can expect to receive the full reward:&#x20;

Where:&#x20;

* i - day number of the epoch, i \[1,7]&#x20;
* User's reward per epoch - rewards that a specific user will receive per week when locking a certain amount of index tokens
* Reward pool per epoch - rewards distributed from the reward pool to the index each week
* i=17min( User's active index token amount ) - the sum of the daily minimum active index token amount locked for a week
* i=17min (Total users active index token amount) - the sum of the daily minimum active index token amount among all users in indexes locked for a week
