how to read the loot box tables the lootbox tables provide information on the rewards that users can earn by staking cgx tokens at different levels to make the process clearer, let's break down the key elements and provide an example loot box tier this refers to different levels of loot boxes, based on how much cgx you stake each tier corresponds to a staking range required stake (cgx) this is the amount of cgx you need to stake in order to open a lootbox in that tier for example, if you want to open a tier 1 loot box in the bronze category, you need to stake 200 400 cgx tokens p(a) to p(d) these columns represent the probability (chance) of receiving different rewards each probability corresponds to a specific category of reward a to d these columns represent the platform credit (pc) rewards that correspond to each probability let's take an example from the bronze tier 5 lootbox loot box tier required stake (cgx) p(a) p(b) p(c) p(d) a b c d 5 1000 1200 58 00% 30 00% 10 00% 2 00% $0 020 $0 031 $0 078 $0 469 if you stake between 1,000 and 1,200 cgx tokens , the following probabilities apply for platform credits 58 00% chance to receive $0 020 platform credits (column a) 30 00% chance to receive $0 031 platform credits (column b) 10 00% chance to receive $0 078 platform credits (column c) 2 00% chance to receive $0 469 platform credits (column d) loot box types & tiers the tables below show the detailed distribution of rewards for different loot box tiers across three categories bronze, silver, and gold each loot box tier is associated with a range of staked amounts, which determine the probability of receiving certain rewards, expressed as drop rates disclaimer the loot boxes awarded during the tge were unique and one of a kind regular loot boxes will differ

demonstrate how to calculate the expected value (ev) for bronze tier 5 for platform credits \text{ev} {\text{pc}} = (0 20 \times 58 00\\%) + (0 31 \times 30 00\\%) + (0 78 \times 10 00\\%) + (4 69 \times 2 00\\%) \\\\ \text{ev} {\text{pc}} = 0 116 + 0 093 + 0 078 + 0 0938 \\\\ \text{ev} {\text{pc}} = 0 3808 \text{ platform credits per lootbox} how to calculate apy to calculate your estimated apy, let's use silver tier 5 with different staking periods the staking rewards multiplier depends on your lock period 1 month no multiplier (1x) 3 months 1 5x multiplier 6 months 2x multiplier note during forkast's launch, all participants received a uniform 3x multiplier on their staked amount for the first period this 3x multiplier applied exclusively to launch loot boxes for month 1 the multiplier reverts to 1 5x (standard 3 month multiplier) for consecutive loot box rewards example let's assume you have staked 1,0000 cgx for 6 months (2x multiplier) when generating your loot box rewards, our system will multiply the 1,0000 cgx staked amount with 2 and calculate your rewards based on that number weekly loot box rewards are generated for you based on 2,0000 cgx this amount of staked cgx tokens would give you a silver tier 1 loot box \text{weekly ev} = 0 3808 \text{ pc} \\\\ \text{monthly ev} = 0 3808 \times 4 = 1 5232 \text{ pc} \\\\ \text{yearly ev} = 1 5232 \times 12 = 18 2784 \text{ pc} \\\\ to calculate apy, assuming cgx is valued at $0 001 \text{stake value} = 10000 \text{ cgx} \times \\$0 004 = \\$10 00 therefore, the apy would be \text{apy} = \frac{\text{yearly value}}{\text{stake value}} \times 100 \text{apy} = \frac{18 2784}{10 00} \times 100 = 182 8% note that this apy calculation includes only platform credit rewards assumes weekly loot box claims does not account for potential changes in cgx price represents an expected value based on probability distributions uses the staking multiplier based on lock period (1x 3x)
